Countries to avoid:
1. Iceland. Mostly since the volcano business started up....the 'Blue-Lagoon' resort is shutdown, and you can mark off the far SW of the island to avoid. I'm not saying it's a bad situation.....just that the visit might might not be productive.
2. Ireland. Basically, with political and police turmoil....you'd have to be ultra careful on urban areas to visit/avoid. The refugee crisis triggering half of this issue? Yeah, but with petty crime often talked about.....you probably find better places to hang out.
3. UK. Aggressive police....monitoring of social media....potential to encounter criminals...leads me to recommend finding places to visit.
4. Malmo and Stockholm, Sweden. Between drug 'wars'....car-fires, and crime....I'd recommend either central or north Sweden....especially rural areas.
Countries/regions to seek out:
1. Greece. It's hard to find anything negative to say about Greece....other than the heat in mid-summer. There are probably two or three no-go areas in Athens, but the vast majority of the city is 'safe'.
2. Bavaria. I might mark two areas of Munich as 'no-go' but the majority of the city is safe, and tons of tourist things to see.
3. Croatia. Lot of tourist-trap locations, but also great value for what you are spending. Very safe.
