Watching the news is scary – travel shouldn’t be!

travel for less, cheap travel
The stunning Rio Celeste waterfall in Costa Rica is one of Marci's picks for safe travel.

No doubt there are places that are not safe to visit, but there are lots of beautiful, exciting travel destinations that are safe and offer opportunities to really experience the world. Let’s look at a few.
Japan – Tokyo is ranked one of the safest cities in the world. Tokyo is the capital city of Japan and offers a mix of attractions from ultra-modern to traditional historic temples. The Imperial Palace is surrounded by 17th Century parks and is surrounded by walls and moats. The Imperial Royal family still live there, and it offers an amazing visual with its incredible gardens. These are some of the most famous gardens in the world, truly a site to see to believe!
Iceland – this small island country roughly the size of Alabama has experienced a tourist boom since 2010 due to its peaceful ambience and dramatic landscapes. You will see volcanoes, geysers and even lava fields! Tour operators like Hidden Iceland can set you up to enjoy amazing sites off the beaten path that are thrilling and certainly nothing you will see in this part of the world!
Chile is one of the safest countries in South America. Chile is geographically diverse being home to deserts, glaciers and of course, the Andes Mountains. The capital city of Santiago is an urban center that offers both urban and historical attractions. Seafood is abundant in Chile due to its location and don’t forget the famous Chilean wines!!
Costa Rica, no matter what you may have heard, possesses a very low crime rate and is widely regarded to be if not the safest place, one of the most safe places in Central America. It is also the happiest country in the world according to the Happy Planet Index!! Costa Rica is a lush paradise for nature lovers. More than 25% of the country consists of national parks and protected areas. Costa Rica is a peaceful and politically stable country. This is THE destination for eco-tourists because of its biodiversity. You can experience the plethora of tropical plant and animal species. Some of these include huge ficus trees as well as approximately 1,500 different species of orchids! Costa Rica is also home to animals such as jaguars and green and scarlet macaws! Wow! I sure makes sense that bird watching is one of the most popular tourist activities in Costa Rica being home to more than 800 species of birds.
These are just a few of the amazing safe world travel options for you to consider. Happy Traveling!! #travelforless
