Is it safe to travel in Central Asia?
I'm fairly experienced travelling around Europe and I've spent this year travelling to various places in China (I speak Chinese, so it's not all too hard), but this summer I have plans to travel in central Asia (including Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan (potentially Osh) and Kazakhstan). I'll be travelling definitely with one female, but also maybe another male. I'm going to be 20 (and look very Western!), and wanted to know what kind of safety/security issues there are in these countries which I should be aware of. I've checked the FCO etc. about specific questions in a few of these places, but as I haven't had a great deal of experience travelling in slightly more risky places in the world, it would be good to have a few pointers about what to look out for, what the safest/best combinations of travel companions would be, especially me being in my situation (fairly young Westerner etc.)
Thanks in advance :D

Make sure the countries you'll be vivisting have a US embassy if more then anything...also...just to be safe, try staying or find a place where theres other Americans this way you dont single yourself out. Besure you know the government nd dont do anything out of line ahaha
Other then that, if you have friends there, tell them your coming so they can help you and have fun!

Is it myth about Central Asia is nit safe .... for example Uzbekistan or Turkmenistan is more safe then Romania, Serbia Greece or another second line of Europe. If you are American never told this to strangers, say you from Britain or something.

it really is secure to bypass to Israel it really is way less secure to bypass to Palestine yet no longer risky you should assume some hostility from the quite a few Israelis i do not say they are going to all take care of you undesirable yet you'll likely have some harassment from the Israeli protection forces. yet I don’t imagine that widespread Israeli electorate will do you any element undesirable, perchance in simple terms be insulting. it really is secure. yet in Palestine stay remote from the settles, they are loopy. Have a superb holiday
