Cite du Soleil in Haiti in the 80s
Bogota in the 80s - I remember seeing bodies of kids dumped on the side of the streets
Zaire now the Democratic republic of Congo
Ghetto in Philly ( a friend of mine was working as an outreach youth worker - scary, scary place)
Some Favellas in Rio and Sao Paolo
Somalia
Chad
Ethiopia and Eritrea in the 80s during the civil war
Liberia in the late 80s
Sierra Leone
All the above even with local guides were pretty hairy places to be especially as white female.
I have only been really scared or nervous a couple of times: yes, parts of D.C early on Sunday morning, Mazatlan, at night, just off the beaten trrack several years ago and beleive it or not, most recently, driving through the southern tip of AR and through Mississippi. It wasn't even dark.
Other than that, we have done quick a bit of traveling and been pretty lucky.
