Welcome.
Do you mean the current situation in Venezuela is safe for independent travel?
Welcome to this Forum.
First and foremost: travel is safe provided you bear in mind that you MUST speak and understand Spanish to get by there. If you don't speak Spanish you will be seen as a Rico Norte Americano (rich north american) and as such you will be perceived as filthy rich and thus a target. When there my outfits were always well worn jeans preferably with oil/paint spots and T shirts of the same character. Never flash US dollars, in fact never have any on you of people will see you as rico...
There are some more points about Venezuela that bear mentioning ... I never had a personal safety problem when there even though I traveled extensively all across the Gulf coast which is where 90% of all Venezuelans live. I was in Caracas at all hours and even there, which was supposedly one of the most dangerous cities in the world, never even felt the least threatened.
The people that have problems there, Venezuelans as well, are well off people that wear expensive clothes and jewelry and go about with an arrogant attitude and especially expecting people there to speak English. It's true that in most countries in Europe many people speak English, and in Central America quite a few do, but NOT in Venezuela.
As far as the present time goes, as well as in the past, the situation is that conditions there are made to seem much worse than reality. My friends there that I'm still in contact with indicate that the supposed food and household supplies shortage is greatly overstated. One may go shopping and find that milk isn't available on a given day and that most all is available. Another day it could be laundry detergent is out of stock.
In the small villages, one of which I lived in on the coast about 80 miles east of Caracas, the shortages will be a bit worse but by hitting all the nearby grocery stores you can pretty much get what you need.
Another point to bear in mind is that believe it or not, we from the USA are minor celebrities there in almost all cases: Provided we're learning Spanish and trying to fit in with everyone else. As an example, near where I lived on the beach was an upscale hotel a couple hundred yards east which had a little Bodega beach store.
The people there quickly got to know me and that I lived nearby, wasn't at all rich, and was learning Spanish. We joked back and forth about my halting speech and I was always politely corrected: it was great learning and fun. One day I walked up there from the house and there was an older gentleman who also lived nearby and who started loudly complaining about my rotten Spanish. He was really upset and quite nasty.
Others nearby who all knew and liked me stopped him and let him know in no uncertain terms that I was "one of the good guys" (un buen hombre). He apologized saying he thought I was a tourist (VERY rare there) and after that he and I were the best of friends and we had beers together standing near the bodega. On several occasions after that if we met in town he'd offer me a ride back to the beach where we both lived. He had a car, and knew that I did too, but also that I had walked the 3 miles into town in order to NOT advertise that I had a car...
Sorry for being so windy here, but it's good to clear up some of the misconceptions foisted on us here in the USA. I'll be pleased to comment more and answer questions about life there if anyone has interest. Venezuela is really a great place: IF you speak Spanish...
