* Iceland – can’t imagine there’s a lot of terrorism going on there.
* Canada’s actually as safe as Iceland if you go way north. Like all the way north.

* This list is fine, if you like your countries boring. Look at visiting the U.S. as maybe a giant game of laser tag, or maybe the world’s biggest escape room.
