7 Biggest Surprises in Mexico City
| June 17, 2016
It doesn’t feel unsafe
The general consensus in the media, and in conversations, will say Mexico is a dangerous country, and Mexico City an especially dangerous city, even more so for a foreign-looking woman.
Contrary to what anyone had told me prior to arriving to Mexico City, I feel very safe. In fact, I feel safer in Mexico City than I did while living in Rio de Janeiro, or even in some cities in the USA.
I definitely keep my wits about me, avoid sketchy neighborhoods, and don’t go out alone after dark, but that’s the same as any city, anywhere in the world. Knock on wood, but thus far I haven’t had any even mildly uncomfortable or anxiety-producing situations in which I felt my security was threatened.
