Sure, some adventurous souls visit these places and come back alive. But here’s the thing: the definition of “safe” changes dramatically depending on who you are. A journalist with a local fixer and a flak jacket might have a shot. A solo backpacker with a Lonely Planet guide? Not so much. The State Department also issues “Reconsider Travel” warnings for places like Pakistan (terrorism risk) and Ethiopia (ethnic violence in some regions). Even Israel and the West Bank are currently a hot mess of rockets and checkpoints.

The Verdict

So, which countries are not safe? The short list: Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Mali, Iraq, Venezuela, Myanmar, Haiti, and parts of Pakistan. But here’s a surprising reality check: even “safe” countries like France have pickpockets, and the U.S. has random shootings. No place is 100% safe, but these destinations are a statistical nightmare. The locals are often wonderful people—the governments and armed groups, not so much.

If you still want an adventure, try Iceland. The biggest risk is that a glacier snorts rime ice in your face. Or Japan, where the most dangerous thing is a vending machine falling on you during an earthquake. Save the war zones for Netflix documentaries. Your mom will thank you.
