Can so relate to this... before I came to Trinidad to live for the first time I was so petrified because of the warnings... currently it's at level 3 by the US Dept of State. Yet when I came here it was so chill. It's just like anywhere. Don't go to bad neighborhoods in big cities. Be careful going out at night. Then again, I can kinda see why the US does this... if someone travels to this country and something happens they will blame the US because they didn't have a travel advisory. There's really no way to win... someone is always ready to bitch and blame! Still there should be a better way.
