No chance , I won't visit any country where various regions puts little value on life.
Hope the trip goes well and safe for him.

I think of the two going around the world and were told not to go into a real volatile country Iran in January 2025.
There still there in prison and that country has deteriorated so much due to world events.

I've subscribed and will be following his exploits. I hope everything lives up to the dream. 8)
