>popular tourist places you have 0% interest in ever visiting,

Brazil is fucking amazing if you aren't too much of a pussy about the safety issues. And the women there are on a whole other level.

For me it's most of the cities in the U.S. - they're just mind-numbingly boring from a tourist perspective, the nightlife sucks compared to most other countries, the women are fat and entitled, the people are friendly but reserved.

Even if I won a trip it would probably cost me my life or a kidney.

Don't feel any urge to go anywhere in Germany, Holland or anything east of those 2.

I live in UK and it just feels like going to another city for me. I visited for work a few times but would never go on my money.

>>1223470
>I live in UK and it just feels like going to another city for me.
Living in North America myself, it's interesting to see that a European would have a similar opinion.

The general attitude in North America is that most of Europe is the same. That's why when many people go on trips, they don't usually name specific countries, they just refer to it as "Europe." Many of them believe that a lot of it really is the same. I don't think that's completely true, but I don't discount the possibility that it's not completely wrong, either.

But it's interesting to see some semblance of confirmation from someone who actually lives in Europe.

Except the little exception me and a couple of friends ofcourse.

I would say France is nice to visit but hard to live in.

I'd say AMSTERDAM is the WORST, It's just a bait city made out of marijuana and hookers.

If you only go to European capitals, it a lot of them might have a similar vibe, but from my experience you'll still feel a clear difference. Besides, there's the obvious change in architecture between the cities.

When you go outside the capitals, I'd say the differences can feel even more pronounced. Sure, if you do a long trip, you might have seen a lot of churches and castles, but I don't think it's any different to how you might get tired of looking at temples in Asia.

There's definitely lots of different places in Europe - if you go to Scandinavia, then visit parts of Central and Eastern Europe and then go Southwestern Europe afterwards, you can't help but feel a huge difference - especially as an American. However, due to the price levels being quite high in big parts of Europe and a similar Western cultural background, I'd probably - if I were American - go for more adventurous destinations before road tripping Europe

>>1223694
That makes it more understandable, I thought you just went to those places to lay on the beach and get drunk.

I have a weird one here.

Singapore. I actually WANT to visit it, with my own money, even. Even though I dislike the country on principle, I want to visit it just to see for myself how awful it really is.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong. Maybe it'll reinforce my beliefs. Either way, it's a country that I hate, but want to visit anyway.

>>1223834
Everyone I've met who has lived in Singapore loved it. Their authoritarian regime has banned everything that makes other cities horrible.

>>1223854
Maybe I'll change my mind once I actually go there.

But Singapore to me has a really weird charm that makes me want to visit it even though I apparently dislike it.

Moldova seems interesting for being stuck in Soviet times, plus getting your passport stamped for Transnistria would be sweet.

I'm an American and I wouldn't want to visit any of the fly over states. They all seem absolutely boring with nothing to do. If it isn't on the coast I have the preconceived notion that it's most likely cancerous.

>>1223867
Been there. Transnistria just gives you a paper slip, no stamp. If you want to go see well preserved soviet architecture, Belarus is your best bet. Moldova is pretty miserable desu, although the wine tunnels are dope

Bali

France. Yes, all of it.

Some parts of the country has nice sights and history I guess, but it's just the people making it insufferable. I've met a fair amount of French people, and so far literally NONE has proven the "rude and arrogant self entitled fuck" stereotype wrong. I can't imagine going there and being chased out of the village with pitchforks for using the wrong greeting or, god forbid, talking English.

I think people just say "Europe" because people who travel in Europe tend to visit multiple countries in their trip so "Europe" is the umbrella term for their trip. It's probably not because they think everything is the same there

Pic related. It's always the same picture and from what I understand, the government is making it harder and harder to access as the years have progressed.

I'm already oversaturated with this place courtesy of all the media they export.
Also I'm holding a grudge over all the "we'll include you in the visa waiver this time, honest", promised by every presidential candidate since the fall of communism.

I'm never turning down a free trip though, that's just retarded.

Look up the demographic transition of Bangladesh. Increasing the wealth of a society reduces population growth. It's in our best interest to not have super poor countries around.

Why do idiots think that your personal safety is actually ever in danger in these areas?

Unless you travel somewhere where there's political violence, like ISIS terrority or somewhere that true kidnapping for ransom is a problem, your personal safety is never in jeopardy.

Bad guys around the world just want your shit. They take your shit, they let you go unharmed, everything is fine. The only people that get physically hurt are the stupid westerners that think it's a good idea to resist armed muggings.

>>1223858
It was okay, but I hate that you can really only see them with manmade structures intruding on your vision. Really kills the atmosphere. Plus there was a shitload of kids running around and yelling like a bunch of cunts when I went. If you want beautiful scenery in Western New York hit up Letchworth State Park. Beautiful place, and far fewer people. Went early in the morning for a few hours at the start of the summer and it was empty.

Oklahoma City and Tulsa are fantastic cities. Never been to Kansas City or Ohama, so I can't speak for them. There's not much for tourists, but they all seem like great places to live.

Don't care for Africans, don't care for African culture and wish all of them would piss back off and leave us Europeans alone. Especially the Islamic ones.

I will certainly visit one time to do a Safari, climb Kilimanjaro and see the mountain gorillas and I think Namibia is quite interesting.

Even if I believe Africa could be a nice continent to explore I feel like with the time I have it is impossible to see everything and Africa will make that cut.

>>1227209
To add to that, I don't even know what should be so interesting in Africa?

>cannot sleep with the women in fear of contracting HIV
>has no interesting cities at all and you cannot even explore them on your own in fear of getting murdered
>high cost of traveling with not much comfort in return
>no amazing cultural events apart from South Africa, no museums of great international quality

If we break it down the only interesting thing about Africa is the nature. Sure it has some interesting countries with nice history, like South Africa, Namibia, Ethiopia but by large it is a completely forgettable continent that the absolute vast majority of travelers will never see in detail

What's funny is many of the classic, most rich, /trv/ threads, have been based in Africa, as far anons relating interesting stories of their travels

>>1227560

I went to South Africa with my school when I was eighteen and it was the most beautiful and exciting trip ever

>Staying on a nature reserve
>Lions fighting a zebra next a restaurant
>Van breaking down in the worst part of Soweto
>Staying with a range of families, some got put with poor some with rich. I got put in a weird Christian household/security complex with dobermans and promise rings
>Visiting classrooms in Jo'burg and meeting and chilling with some kids actually excited about learning

Was so cool. I've visited Egypt and Morocco as well and both trips were cool as well

Most people on /trv/ who trash Africa have never been. It's the only continent bar Antarctica that hasn't been played out/ruined by tourists

My pick in respect to the thread theme though is New York. I'm from London and it just looks like I'd be doing very similar stuff there to what I do back home and I hear the US backpacker scene is poor. I want to check out New Orleans though at some point
