## Caption

Would I travel right now? Short answer- yes (and I am). 
However, I am avoiding the Middle East (and its airspace) until a ceasefire is reached and reliably held. 
I personally feel safer in most parts of Europe than I do in the US. Mexico is pretty much back to normal. I will be in Southeast Asia later this month (but not flying via the Middle East as originally planned). 

Every aspect of life as a human has a risk- it’s all about how you manage it. At the end of the day if you are not comfortable traveling- don’t do it. Ask for a refund (even if you’re not owed one- never hurts to ask!)
