I’m really scared that I’m going to get bed bugs when I go to New York :( I’m only going for about 5 days in July, but I’ve already started ‘researching’ (Googling) “bed bug prevention” so I can get the DL on how to identify them, as well as any extra measures I can take to minimise the danger.
On the other hand, I have given little thought/worry to the dangers I might encounter when I spend two months in Mexico City. Also, it should be noted that my ‘concerns’ have been related to spiders, not drug violence, kidnapping or murder. I’m also worried that the strangers I’m going to be living with for most of my stay might have a really gross bathroom.
