One man is sharing his story of survival after he was mugged, kidnapped and left for dead in Cancun, Mexico.

Dustan Jackson and his wife were waiting for their flight home after the perfect vacation in Cancun. With hours to spare, Jackson hopped in a cab to head to a store to get chewing tobacco, but the nearby gas station didn't have any. That's when he said his taxi driver kidnaped him.

"I'll never forget that feeling," Jackson said. "It was the scariest feeling in the entire world."

Jackson said that the driver told him he knew a place where they could go, a grocery store. But that's when things got much worse.

5. Sure, sure....except..

Mexico is ranked 12th worldwide in homicides and the US is ranked 59th.

28.4 per 100,000 Vs 6.3

4.5 times worse.

I have visited Cancun, and can successfully confirm that my life was never in jeopardy at any point as far as I know.

7. Touristy areas tend to be safer.

However I have stayed in downtown Medellin Colombia and didn't feel my life was in danger but that does not mean it is not dangerous.

8. Yeah. Generally stay away from certain areas at night -or don't leave hotel premises at all

(at night).

Good rule of thumb for a lot of places even in America.
