Stay in Playa Del Carmen, Riviera Maya or Cancun. Tour Tulum!! That was my favorite place. Then Chichen Itza to check off a wonder of the world. I felt very safe at a nice hotel and taking tours that picked me up.

Travelled through Mexico last year for two weeks. Awesome country. I highly recommend the south, specifically the states of Chiapas and Oaxaca. People saying you'll be kidnapped are ignorant. Definitely research the regions you're going to, but I travelled from Mexico City to Tulum and never once felt in danger

Mexico is not dangerous in the areas frequented by tourists. Visit Mexico City -- one of my favorite cities in the world. You could easily find a week's worth of stuff to do there...

Thanks ATK1 for the suggestion! Will look into that!

Thanks for the concern about not dying and maybe going to Syria instead haha, but I don't think Mexico is as dangerous as some people perceive it to be. Yea, it has its issues, but I think the "danger" factor is often exaggerated a bit.

I didn't go to Puerto Escondido, but a few of my friends did, and they all loved it. Not sure what it would be like over NYE, but I would guess it would be a younger crowd than Tulum, and definitely a good party :)

I’m a top performer & a workhorse. I’ve put so much effort into making sure my team is okay I forgot about myself. Now I am buried in work, performance is dropping & I can’t stop crying randomly. I kept telling people I am drowning but no one was listening. Coach is leaning to tell everyone to backoff thankfully.
