You're serious, right?

A) exactly what "region" are you referring to...Australia and NZ, the Pacific? It's a mighty big area!

B) Why would you think it's "unsafe"- what do you mean - political unrest?drinking water? non American values?

If it's Tahiti and French Polynesia you mean, these are semi autonomous regions of France - hardly a maelstrom of instability.

It's a laid back area with a very low crime rate.(Hawaii?)


If in doubt...drink bottled water, have up to date travel insurance and do some research on your own country's travel advisory/warning sites.

If you're worried about travelling there maybe you shouldn't leave home.

What completely assinine and juvenille responses. Obviously the original poster came here genuinely looking for help (or so I hope) and you two fools gave nothing more than what you thought to be sarcasm.

Didn't your mothers ever teach you? 'If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.'

If you want sensible answers you must pose a sensible question.

Nothing at all sarcastic in my response, Thomas, but really the question needs clarifying a great deal. Just what is "safe", for a start. And conpared to what? And where is the region?

I stand by my advice, check travel warnings, do some research, have good insurance and drink bottled water...but if the poster genuinely thinks this is a Third world region, which seems implicit in the question it might be much "safer" to stay home!
