For many travelers, the world is a magnificent place full of wonder at every turn. With every adventure to international cities, we learn something new about ourselves, the human condition, and how we see ourselves through the lens of other cultures. However, for all of the great international cities we experience, there are also many very dangerous destinations that may not welcome foreign travelers.
The dangers go beyond petty taxi cab scams and pickpocket theft. In some international cities, armed gangs are much more brazen in their attacks, specifically targeting western travelers. As a result, travelers may be assaulted, attacked, and injured in the name of terrorism, robbery, or other motives.
Some locations are more dangerous than others – especially for travelers who like to go alone. Those who are planning a solo trip to these five cities should consider their plans carefully, or purchase a strong travel insurance policy.

5Jakarta, Indonesia
A popular layover destination for tourists seeking a tropical vacation, the international city of Jakarta offers travelers a healthy dose of adventure in a truly unique culture. However, what lurks just under the surface is a number of threats that can turn a dream holiday into a nightmare.
According to the British Foreign Ministry, threats of terrorism and kidnapping of foreigners are the two main safety concerns that visitors need to be aware of. In addition, Jakarta also sits along a series of fault lines known as the “Ring of Fire.” This leaves the region susceptible to earthquakes and tsunamis without warning. Those planning to visit the area should consider purchasing travel insurance early, in order to take benefit of all benefits in the event a trip turns bad.
While the world can be a wonderful place, danger is always just around the corner. By understanding the different forms the danger takes and which international cities are most susceptible, modern adventurers can make sure their travels go without danger as they boldly traverse the globe.
