The United States is warning citizens to "exercise increased caution" when travelling overseas with the State Department citing "increased tensions" in various parts of the world.
In a "worldwide caution" advisory issued on Thursday, the government said in addition to increased tensions, there were concerns over the potential for terrorist attacks, demonstrations or violent actions against citizens or U.S. interests.
The advisory was made a day after the U.S. also warned its citizens against all travel to Lebanon amid fears the Israel-Hamas conflict could spread throughout that region.

True. However I have a couple beliefs on this. Right now Qatar is lvl 1 travel advisory and Maldives lvl 2. Also, I am flying on Qatar airlines into one of the safest places on the planet into an international hub to the Middle East. Qatar airport is the place for all travelers and makes the nation a ton of money so for an international incident to occur there would cripple them economically. Additionally, I won’t leave the airport during my layover and stay low key. The military presence within the airport and country is jaw dropping. I’m doubting they are going to not only hit their own airport but also their own airline in their own country.
That's a little naive to think her ability to "handle herself" would make any difference in a terrorist situation.
Israel has been warning it’s citizens to vacate Europe, Asia, and North Africa for the same reasons.
Kidnappings, random acts of violence, and the like are the reasons.
Wilson!!!
That’s definitely her
I’m reading this thread sitting in s restaurant in siem reap cambodia. We go back to Thailand for a week tomorrow. On our way home we have a 16 hour layover in doha and our taking a city tour.
You are braver than I on that front!
