I don't wanna go to Mexico no more, more, more....

Nearly all of Africa, as its corrupt, poorly and run by bad governments, along with the rampant homophobia. The only exceptions would be South Africa and Botswana/Namibia as they are relatively stable.
Any part of Latin America except Chile, Argentina, Uruguay and then again for the same reasons, along with the fact anyone could plant something in my bag and could get into some 3rd world jail for drug muling.
The Carribean due to its homophobia especially Jamaica and any other churchy society.
Iraq and Iran for safety reasons, rest of Middle East especially Israel I would love to visit.
Most of Asia except Japan and Korea, China because of its communism and poor human and animal rights
Any country which has poor hygiene like Tibet and India
Any Francophone country that is poor like Burkina Faso and Burundi
USA as its too hard to get in to now.


All that leaves is the 1st world and a few African and South American countries along with the English speaking Pacific, Australia and Home.

I would really love to visit Canada, All of Scandinavia and Russia

Wow, it's a trip how so many of you are stating stereotypes and generalizations about ENTIRE countries and their people as if they're fact, when you've never been there. Too funny.

Can't wait!


A country that I have seen a few negative comments about that I really want to visit is Russia.
We have been watching a nature/wildlife documentary about Russia. It is such a vast, amazingly beautiful country.

I was amazed at the deserts, forests, lakes, waterfalls and beautiful creatures that call Russia home.
I want to go

thank you!

EVERY country in middle east? I have been to Jordan, Syria and Lebenon, and they were great. The people in Syria were amazingly open and friendly.

I'd avoid Iraq for sure, although I am planning to goto Iran later this year. I want to see things first hand for myself.

It's still not safe in those countries, there have been attacks in those countries and more than likely more attacks in the future.

So you would go to Iraq?????

SCNDLS said:

Girl aint nobody gotta get up on the dookey to know it stank. some of these countries got horrid ass reps and that's enough to know you don't want to visit unless you're just walking through the airport.

DesireeNevermind said:

Again, valid reasons such as war, other unrest, or political/social views is something entirely different. But to say that one can't learn or experience anything positive by visiting an ENTIRE country or continent or basing that opinion on someone else's experience is ass backwards and ignorant. There are a lot of places I have no interest in going to simply because of the types of vacations I prefer to have, that has nothing with me thinking that an entire country or region and its people are corrupt. Hell, if that's your rationale no one would go anywhere what government ISN'T corrupt?

Russia

Does this even require an explanation?

SCNDLS said:

Well I don't know about others who have posted but for myself, if a country engages in what I consider to be atrocities on a grand scale in addition to having a corrupt government (the two don't always go hand in hand) then it's not worth visiting just because there may be some good among some people. It's also about safety for me especially being female, christian, and foine.


On the real though...there are places you wouldn't be safe simply because your passport shows you're an American. The world is getting more and more fucked up and some places just aren't welcoming and accomodating no matter what your
travel preferences may be. Heck there are citizens breaking their necks to get out of such places. I think there will come a time when many people won't go anywhere and that is scary.

DesireeNevermind said:

Yes, let it out.

DesireeNevermind said:

Like I said: "Again, valid reasons such as war, other unrest, or political/social views is something entirely different."

That's not what I'm talking about.

SCNDLS said:

I got ya!!! Had to check on some of the other posts. All I can say is dayum. Then again...I've heard that stuff so many times.

Number23 said:

Okay...drug trafficking, prostitution and racism on a large scale!!!

Iraq/Iran


I'm not muslim, I'm not subservant,

DesireeNevermind said:

I agree there has been a detectable American influence in eastern Europe since the downfall of communism. I blame letting the Bolsheviks chew chewing gum for the first time as they stormed Berlin, twisted their neurons permenently. Stalin obviously didn't liquidise enough of them when they returned home. they passed on tales of Coca Cola, selfism and greed. Chew chewing gum. Bad grammar but there's really no other way of putting it.

So, if you're a muslim, you're subservant?

Number23 said:

Harty har har. You left out overgrazing, radioactive waste, weak democracy, inadequate HIV/AIDS education, and child abuse in the health and welfare institutions. Ah but yes, all that pales in comparison to your gum chewing theory.

I personally wouldn't take any chance of being in any part of the Middle East region. The percentage chance of international violence is still high.

Just say.

DesireeNevermind said:

Didn't you know Coca-Cola led to the fall of the Roman Empire.

TonyVanDam said:

You are talking like we are living in a war..... Not all the middle east period .....

what you have is a completely different image , if you want to come then you're welcome and if you don't want then you are welcome too .....LOL, don't generalize.
