>>1327685But you are assuming something bad will happen, and maybe op will miss the love of his life for that, an assumption. Personally I would not ever advice someone to not to travel. Is there a chance for something bad to happen? Sure, but there's also a great chance for nothing to happen and op having the time of his life. Liking it or not being in a foreign country exacerbates your emotions by a good deal and ultimately it's up to op to decide if it's worth the risk. And live with the consequences of his decision.
