Any based /trv experiences from dangerous countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan?
>>
All jokes aside, Mexico is more dangerous than every place on that list.

Memphis, Baltimore, St Louis and Detroit have a higher murder rate than any city in any of the countries on your list too.
>>

The only remotely dangerous place on that list is Syria because of the war. Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Afghanistan are safe
>>

How is Afghanistan safe? Maybe I won't get bombed, but I might get questioned and beheaded by taliban if I do anything remotely they don't like. Sounds about as safe as Russia right now.
Also men aren't the only ones who travel

I have walked around Munich & London OP. Feel free to ask me any questions you have

Murder/crime is severely under-reported in thirdie shitholes. Claiming they are safe because of statistics is very low iq.

>High risk of getting arrested by the regime so they can maybe eventually trade you against some random terrorist
>Safe
Iraq and Iran are at the top of my wishlist but I'd literally rather go to Syria right now. Lebanon should be somewhat alright, I guess.

This has got to be bait

DO NOT GO TO THE MIDDLE EAST UNLESS YOU ARE SUICIDAL

Especially for women it's a no-go
>>
>>2840829
I don't think anyone is claiming they are safe. They're just saying that Mexico and US have cities with higher murder rates.
>>
>>2840865
There is a person literally below the post he was replying to that says they are safe >>2840802

The most dangerous place I visited was Guatemala. Almost got my rental van stolen, and got a shotgun pulled on me. It was a good time.

i worked in beirut for a bit, a few years ago. it seemed pretty ok and safe to me, around the main parts of the city anyway
of course i wouldn't want to go to the bits that are more full of loonies
there were memos from the civil war everywhere. buildings still full of bullet holes. the famous holiday inn. instead of traffic cones they use repainted tank traps. that sort of thing
great food too. lebanon and israel have had some of the best food ever. i love that mediterranean stuff
this was before that massive explosion destroyed a large part of the city. i understand things are different now
>>
No joke, genuinely feared for my life when I was in Trenton, NJ. And this was in the good part right next to the capitol.
>>
>>2840692
I've been to 3/5 of those countries.

There is nothing in any of them worth actually going to or seeing, unless you're a huge fan of ancient civilizations (Syria/Iraq).

kek, look at this Silly Sally

afghanistan is bizare and otherworldly. spent 12+ months there for various reasons since the tali came back, all around the country. bizare perhaps because just walking around helmand and kandahar was something i never thought i'd get to do. they assigned me a young talib as a minder for my travels in the south, he was pointing out to me all the spots he would shoot at british forces from as we drove around helmand. lots of good archaeological stuff in the south, and bamiyan is great too. taliban are mostly chill but also retarded, and getting anything done in afghanistan is impossible work-wise. the leader of AQ got drone struck by the U.S. about a km from me in 2022, i heard it early in the morning. the occasional gunshot/blast at night in kabul, but not too regular. i walk for hours in the day with no issues.

spent 6 weeks in iraq in 2023, drove in through kuwait. loved it. baghdad is great if you like sufi stuff and islamic history, otherwise it's a big with some suprisingly modern and upscale areas. the two shrine cities were worthwhile also. i spent 4-5 days in mosul, which was maybe the craziest place i've ever seen, since more than half of it was still totally destroyed by ISIS. rubble everywhere. went to a church being rebuilt by UNESCO, still had ISIS grafiti on the walls. met a guy who's house had been taken over by them, and he said they cut his dad's thumb off for using a mobile phone. kurdistan is nice and feels like a different countyr (erbil and duhok).

Iran is not dangerous at all, what are you talking about?
>>
>>2840692
Central Beirut at least is pretty safe. Can't speak for the rest of Lebanon or any of the other countries.
