just my two cents, but I live in Texas very close to the Mexican border, and it it's not all happiness and butterflies. over 12,000 people, many of them tourists, have been killed by the cartel in the last 6 years. OP is not wrong to want to stay away. I'm not in any way speaking for South America, but the situation in Mexico is not good right now.

yeah, I would imagine you have some serious financial skills after reading a lot of your answers. I wish I had your kind of self control! :)

Do you have a day job? How did you fund the travel?
