We aspire to travel to gain lots of fresh memories and experiences. When it comes to experience, there will be both good and bad. While we cherish good experiences, some places will give us horrible experiences we never want to experience again. Have you had any bad experiences while traveling?
A user asked the forum, “Which country would you never want to travel to and why?” Here are the top responses.
SOMALIA
![Clear expressions of intense discomfort and fear. Troubled by bad news, she's in turmoil, urgently needing assistance and solutions](https://mrsdaakustudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/9.-disturbing.jpeg)
“Somalia. Look at the United States travel advisory. It’s funny and sad at the same time.
Under the list of things to do if you travel there (after a big blurb saying don’t), it lists drafting a will, discussing with loved ones plans on who will take care of kids and pets after you die, and making sure your funeral wishes are documented.”
NORTH KOREA

“Saudi Arabia. It’s the total antithesis of what I consider good in life, like freedom of thought, freedom of (and from) religion, free access to information, equality between the genders(and people of various orientations), and, oh yeah, they murder people for tweets.”

“Japan. After learning more about the highly demanding work culture, seeing salarymen passed out drunk on the sidewalks, the shut-ins, the way anime is creepily portrayed everything, the oversaturation of bright and colorful branding, the small apartments that house a whole family, the suicide rates, the complete lack of mental health awareness. All of it just feels off-putting and creepy to me. Not to mention the normalized racism.”
ITALY
