The World According To US Government Travel Advisories (2022)

Map created by reddit user Shadd0w

The map above shows the world divided into 4 based on Travel Advisories from the US Department of State. The different categories are:

1. Level 1 (Green): Exercise Normal Precautions
2. Level 2 (Yellow): Exercise Increased Caution
3. Level 3 (Orange): Reconsider Travel
4. Level 4 (Red): Do Not Travel

And some of the choices are somewhat interesting.

• Most of Eastern Europe is considered safer than Western Europe despite bordering a war zone. (Ukraine and Russia are sensibly Level 4 Do Not Travel)
• There is also a level called ‘Other’ which seems to just be for Mexico
• Some countries such Japan are Orange (Level 3) because of COVID restrictions.
• Some people commented on the original post that it seems a bit strange that Western Europe is considered as risky as South Africa or Brazil given drastically different crime rates.
