To stay or not to stay, that is the question!
(Preview)
G'day, I was wondering for those experienced travelers, when traveling and need to stay over night , have you ever pulled up to a place but looked around and found it was dodgy or unsafe? I like some towns might have places that have trouble late at night or something like that, just as an example..
