I feel just as safe now as I did years ago. Again, use common sense. This should be applied everywhere. Not just in Mexico. Playa Del Carmen is my kinda town!

I have lived in many other places in the USA, in Europe and now here, and I don´t feel less safe here than I would in NYC, where I lived for many years. Yes, you must use common sense when out at night or in areas that are not "for tourists" but it is the same as anywhere else. I remember one time I took a wrong turn in Spain in an ok looking neighborhood and some young fellow stopped my car and told me to turn around right away if I wanted to get out of there alive. He didn´t mean it as a threat, he meant it as a warning, as I was getting into a "bad" side of town. In NYC I was robbed in broad daylight with many people walking around us, and no one saw anything... So yes, it could happen anywhere. Just use common sense and don´t bring attention to yourself.

Once again we must to say that the violence in Mexico is far away from the tourist destinations. Cancun, <a title="Playa del Carmen" href="http://www.olympus-tours.com/riviera_maya/tours/" rel="nofollow"> Playa del Carmen</a>, Cozumel, Puerto Vallarta etc are very far from the US-Mexico border.
