Man has made travel really fast and safe, an it’s easier than ever now to travel to any location on the planet, near or distant. But as we can imagine, not all places are as safe as we would like them to be. The ideal trip that most people would like to take is where they can rest in the sun and smell the pristine air from the sea with someone waiting you with the perfect cocktail, maybe with a slice of coconut which has been cut down from the tree you’re sat under.

Mogadishu, Acapulco and Port Moresby have so much potential to be what they once were, the pearl of each country, the paradise that everybody is looking for to go and visit, but because of the human footprint, which brings war, crime and distraught, it then starts to deteriorate, and soon we will not have somewhere to run away to when we want that cocktail on the beach.
