Wow, friend, I totally understand how uncomfortable traveling can be. It used to be wonderful to travel at night, but after so many robberies and muggings, not anymore.
I haven't been to Caracas in years, like 40. The closest I've been was to Valencia for my teaching degree graduation, and I'm retired now, so it's been about 25 years.
But going to Caracas terrifies me. If I went, I'd have to go with a guide to do everything because I wouldn't dare go alone.
