Be Aware of These Dangerous Vacation Spots
With the rising cost of travel, accommodation and entertainment, many jet-setters are beginning to look beyond holiday hot spots when planning their next vacation. But budget vacations often come with hidden prices, one of which is safety.
Though many countries offer affordable vacations at deeply discounted prices, such countries are frequently steeped in economic, political and religious turmoil. Read on to learn about some of the most dangerous places to travel, and why you should approach with caution.
