Have you ever visited countries that were told to be bad?

I don't know how many times I've heard from people that some places should not be visited for a series of reasons. Mainly those opinions come from people who have never steped outside of their own comfort zones; or am I being way too optimistic?

I have proved to myself that some locations seen as dangerous, are not really all that bad. Am I pushing the luck too far?

I wonder if you have gone to places with a really bad *reputation*, but in reality turned out to be great.
