Agreed, been to 70+ countries and I feel more safe/comfortable than all but a few of them.
Scariest thing I have done was in the Sinai Peninsula Sept 2017. Decided to go to Giza for my birthday and then decided I wanted to make my way over to Jordan after. Now the Sinai Peninsula is a hotbed for terrorist activities and like 2 weeks after I was there like 130 people were shot. Anyways, I was with an aussie mate of mine and he and I are really penny pinching, or at least he is and he didnt want to pay for a bus ticket, so we decided we will hitchhike. So we hitchhiked across the Sinai peninsula and this one particular guy picks us up. He seems friendly enough but after about 30 minutes we start to get pretty nervous. We are in the middle of nowhere, there isnt a terrain out there that I have seen that looks like the Sinai Peninsula, its gorgeous and arid and its huge strange rock formation dominate the topography. This dude is going like 120 mph hour and he hasnt stopped making phone call after phone call, shouting in arabic. In my head im just thinking oh fuck we are so god damn stupid why did we do this. I actually looked over at my buddy and said out loud, "are you as nervous as I am", to which he responded "yep". Well nothing happened, he dropped us off about a mile from the Israeli border in Taba and said I cant go any closer they will shoot me. We gave him a little cash as a thank you for not handing us over to terrorists and a trinket from my buddies backpack. He said he loves us and America gives us a hug and off he went. Definitely the most scared I have ever been. Well that or maybe Kyrgyzstan.
