I feel silly asking this, but I may be wrong.
As a white male foreigner, would I have to be worried about being kidnapped while walking around alone? Allow me to explain why I'm asking this. I plan to visit by the end of the year for a few weeks by myself. I'm American and married to my Namibian wife. My wife says I'm like a dog because I'm super friendly, chatty, and trusting. When I visit, I plan to be walking the streets all day and talking to everyone. We do plan to move to Namibia in a couple of years, and I want to hopefully make friends and network while I visit as well as envelope myself in the country and culture. But my wife says half jokingly because of how friendly and trusting I am with strangers that I will be kidnapped. Don't laugh but here I am asking your thoughts! But when I say I'll be on the streets walking the city the whole time I truly mean it. I'll mainly be in Windhoek because that's where my wife's from, but she does have family in other places that I'll go visit. I'm going to let the adventure lead the way but there are a couple of Namibian landmarks I'd love to visit. Of course when I tell my American friends and family about my plans to go alone and walk the streets, they worry about the same thing so here I am asking whole heartedly because I think it's hilarious they'd assume that but I may be wrong myself. So are they crazy for assuming that or am I crazy for not thinking it's a possibility? And what are some things I'd have to be worried about in my situation? I look like a regular guy and don't own anything flashy to be worried about petty theft besides my cell phone I guess. I'll mainly be taking taxi or Yango to get around besides walking.
