That's pretty white for mexican standards. Just dress how the locals dress if you don't want to stand out that much. You'll get stares if it's a non tourist town, but you'll get used to it. Other than that you should be fine.

Fuck that indeed! They also have fake uber eats motorcycles they use to deliver drugs!

Ugh, I hate that I have to pay to piss in most public places. Pro-tip though, when the guy at the gas station tells you the bathroom is for customers only, ask him if you could give him a tip to let you in, 5 pesos should be enough.

I speak pigeon Spanish, but I'm not gonna act like I'm fluent or try speaking in Spanish. And I would love to learn. I feel the best way is to submerge myself in a place and culture where it's spoken. And if I could get over my dear of driving thru the Mexican border, I no doubt wouldn't hesitate to drive all the way to Panama. I just want to be safe.

I won't go to any third world country. First world only. I've heard from a lot of people that say it's safe and stuff, but I've also read a lot about people who died. I'm not one for taking that kind of risk. I'd much rather stick to the nice safe first world countries. No Mexico, no south America, nothing like that. There are enough nice first world countries to visit anyway.

Would be a good idea to bring someone with you. Would not go by yourself.

What I could use is a buddy whose fluent To ride with. A Mexicana or homeboy or something. It's just not alota people are down to go that deep or too broke to travel like that.  If I went, I'd cross at Laredo or Brownsville I think. There's also a small crossing at big bend park but no cars can get thru. It's all walking or riding a donkey and you cross the river by canoe or wading. That's really only good for a day trip thou

All depends on where you go and how much Spanish you know and how intelligent you are.  I love Mexico & the people.  If you go do your homework, as should be done with anyone traveling to another country.  Good luck.

I would say the driving all the way to Panama is a bit sketchy. Not just parts of Mexico but also Nicaragua and Honduras, which are more third world than Mexico (Mexico is like 2nd World).

But yeah, bring a friend. Would be a better choice.

C'mon man, Mexico isn't third world, we have socialized medicine and we're also a part of north America. I don't know why everyone thinks is south or central America. That being said, I get your worries, most of the danger is in smaller towns and roads, bigger cities and traveling by bus is safe.

I would not recommend driving all the way man, especially if you don't speak Spanish. But if you do, stop by and visit!

Logical, Nicaragua and Hondaras have been on the tip of my tongue.  Lol. I'd feel most comfortable around Guatemala , believe area.  Maybe it make more sense to fly in and then rent a car, but that take away alot of the fun

There are a lot of places in America that are pretty damn third world.


Also you're cheating yourself out of beautiful places and people.

One good analogy I heard for describing the danger throughout Mexico, is that Mexico is about as big as Europe.

You'd be kind of naive to say you shouldn't go to France because someone you know got killed in Bulgaria.

Also heard a story about someone who came back from a successful trip through Mexico, only to get mugged at gun point in their own 1st world country

People who think it’s third world haven’t seen much of Mexico , maybe little bits of a single state or two.  There are deluxe elite areas and swanky places all over.  But there’s also your average middle class places and lesser income places.  I love Mexico.  Especially the community vibes where everyone can hang out and ya can get invited to random dinner and drinks or hang outs or ask someone out that you barely know.  It’s different in the states.  Lacking in that department where I’m at currently.

United States has some utter shit holes too, in many states - gangs, drugs, homeless, rednecks dilapidated infrastructure, racism, ruthless police, corrupt politicians, the whole shebang .

It’s all in where you go.

I wanna go thru Panama to Colombia. I read stories about crossing the Darien thru all sorts of sketchy ways

I think as long as you don't look like a rich tourist you're good to go.
