I’ve traveled to some pretty funky parts of the world (as my profile page will show). But the only place I’ve ever visited where Spanish is the principal language is Puerto Rico. I’d be willing to go to Spain (maybe) but never,ever will I go to any other place where Spanish is the main language.

El Rush-Bo often stated to find something you love to do.

While a full blooded Irish Catholic Caucasian, from an early age I just loved Spanish. I took five years of Spanish in 4 years of high school.

I eventually had a double college major of Spanish and Archaeology. I learned that while amazing, you cannot pay a mortgage, or any other bill, with Archaeology. Before I ceased pursuing the Archaeology Degree, I was privileged to participate in excavations in California, Mexico and Central America.

I used to adore traveling, working etc in Mexico. Spanish fluency was a big plus.

I was going to type "I no longer desire to visit Mexico." Then I realized the opposite. It would be wonderful to show family and friends some of the wonders. But No Mas.

Even before today, it has not been safe. People would say that some of those all-inclusive resort locations on the Mexican coast are safe. You never have to go outside the perimeter. The Cartels and gangs just adapted. They attacked from the ocean.

PS - I saved up money and went to school in Spain. While it may be safe to travel there today, the socialist creeps in charge are a disgrace.

Oh, it is not that bad.
Chile and Argentina are pretty good. Uruguay even better.
I think bunch of other countries are also OK, but I have not been there!

I had a wonderful week in Puerto Rico decades ago when it was a safe place. Was really happy that so many people spoke English. I knew a little Spanish then but of course forgot and it died from disuse.
