The only time I have ever been out of the country was to fly to Mexico for my aunts wedding. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to travel and discover other places. Safety is always a main concern though and it’s reassuring these places are big on that. I luv it!

I love that Iceland is number one. I’ve wanted to visit ever since I was a teen. I’m looking forward to making that my next vacation destination.

I wasn’t expecting London to be on the list. Aberdeen in Scotland is the safest, in my opinion. Although, London has more attractions than Aberdeen.

Montreal sounds lovely! I’d love to be in an art city!
Actually, I like all the places you have in your list. I’d love to see all these places. But what do you qualify as safe? You mean, less to no criminals lurking around?

There are certainly some great travel destinations on this list. From things I have heard, these are all safe places, indeed! And it isn’t surprising that no city in the United States made the Top 10.
