Several countries have travel advisories. They aren't overly high but still.

Do you have any thoughts?

I wonder what other developed countries have travel advisories...

The Australian Govt runs a comprehensive travel advisory service called Smart Traveller.

We need it . Australians do a lot of overseas travel.

In 2019 (pre COVID) almost 10 million, out of a population of 26 million, Australian residents went overseas.

My last trip was 3 weeks in Turkey and Egypt.

I think I misunderstood your post. (your article was behind a paywall).

Were you asking if other countries had issued travel advisories covering the US?

The current Australian government travel advisory for the US is low risk :

"Exercise normal safety precautions".

For those who can't be bothered with the paywall:

Yes, other countries have issued travel advisories for the U.S.

At least one country currently has a heightened travel advisory in place for the United States. Others have warned against U.S. travel in prior years.

Colour me green with envy. Turkey pre Covid was...fantastic. And Egypt as well. My wife and I got married in Cairo and had our 40th anniversary there. Pre covid again. But you're right. We must easily have highest number of travel miles per head of population on the planet.

Have you noticed we (ABC Aus) are now calling Turkey - Türkiye?

Apparently, the Turks have asked that English speakers/writers adopt the Turkish spelling and pronunciation. It's a bit like the shift from 'Peking' to 'Beijing' a few decades ago.

Works for me - I just have to find the U + double dot key on my keyboard.

Turkey or Türkiye? Why the ABC has used a new old spelling

This week's devastating earthquakes have thrust the question of whether Turkey or Türkiye should be used back into public consciousness.

Then we should call the country where I was born 'Cymru'. Pronounced 'Kum ree'. But I won't be annoyed if you say 'Wales.' You can't dictate how someone pronounces your country.

I travel internationally on average seven time a year. Every time I do, I look at the US travel advisories.

This is from France just a couple of weeks ago.

Location: Paris, Place de la Opera; Rennes Event: Large-scale demonstrations continue throughout France with reports of hundreds of black-clad violent protestors infiltrating the demonstrations, seeking clashes with police, damaging property, shooting fireworks, and setting fires. Police in riot gear have responded with tear gas, water cannons, and targeted police actions to deter further violence. U.S. citizens should ...

The OP may want to clarify the advisories referenced are for the U.S. From the linked article, I think Australia and France were the most accurate. However, as with any country, one would be wise to consult with locals in the area for particular areas to avoid etc.

It's practically the first thing my wife does when we check into a hotel. Ask reception 'Are there any areas you'd recommend that we avoid?'

If they say “the second floor” rebook elsewhere.

Maybe the dining room.
