Europe has consistently been one of the most popular destinations for travelers. This sprawling continent offers visitors a great wealth of cultural diversity and an extensive variety of things to do and places to see.

Asia

While most countries in Europe are perfectly safe for travelers, Asia is more of a mixed bag. On one hand, they’ve got the war-torn middle east where civil unrest and terrorism run rampant, but on the other, Asia has some of the safest and most elaborate cities in the world.

If you’ve got a particular fascination with Asian culture, make sure you do your homework before planning your trip. If you stick with these safe and miraculous destinations, you’re sure to have a lovely adventure.

So long as you practice caution and logic during your travels—meaning you’re not a sucker for scams and you don’t leave your valuables unattended on the beach—you’re sure to have an unforgettable experience that you won’t get anywhere else in the world.

Oceania

Do you dream of hopping with kangaroos, snuggling with koalas, or swimming with dolphins? How about sleeping with snakes, splashing with crocodiles, or dining with spiders the size of your face? Despite the stunning beauty of the Oceania continent, there is a great deal of danger and real threats to your wellbeing that should be taken seriously.

Aside from the hostile nature and wildlife, however, Oceania is home to countries with some of the lowest crime rates in the world. So long as you do your homework before you go, and you know how best to handle rogue wildlife, large insects, and scorching UV rays, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have the trip of a lifetime.
