Are You Safer in Mexico or America? by Lonely Planet US travel editor Robert Reid.
Is it SAFE in Oaxaca, Mexico? How safe is it in Oaxaca, Mexico? These questions and their variations come up constantly from readers.
The New York Times recently published 36 Hours: Oaxaca, Mexico (January 12, 2012), a travel feature written by Freda Moon. The comments section is essential to read. Some 92 people added their experiences and most everyone addresses the question about safety that I receive on this blog constantly. Yes, Oaxaca is SAFE.
Washington Post, December 2012: Mexico: A guide to which parts are safe to travel to, and which are dangerous. Oaxaca is SAFE.
Suite 101 Article “Is it safe to travel to Mexico?” by Norma Hawthorne, with data, statistics, and everything you need to know about where it’s safe! Published December 2010.
Recent posts I’ve written about SAFETY that include comments from workshop participants, many of them women and independent travelers:
