Apparently travel is back. Although I can guarantee you is going to much less fun that it used to be during the pandemic. It should also be time for listicles on "Dangerous Places" and "Forbidden Places". news.com.au/travel/destina…
Bored interns are tasked with googling things that seem dangerous with no apparent knowledge whether they are safe or not. For example none of these listicle places are actually dangerous. traveltriangle.com/blog/most-dang…
Not to be outdone, this blog goes all the way to "incredibly dangerous". Reality? there are group travel packages to all these nations. Yes even Afghanistan and Syria. explorersweb.com/2021/01/05/the…
Libya is one of my favorite places to be a tourist because of the exceptional ruins. The people of Damascus are among the most hospitable. You don't really need a tour company for either but it helps with visas etc. rockyroadtravel.com/syria-tours/
I recently went to Chad after they shot the President. Figured it would be a crackerjack place to have a civil war. The reality? Everyone was civil. 
I doubt I will ever see another period of calm and serenity like the pandemic travel season. Empty airports, empty planes, empty historic sites and being the only visitor being spoiled. But get out there and make friends...oh and bring money. Travel is not cheap anymore.
