Countries you would never go to?

anywhere i would need injections to go to, most countries in africa and dubai :v
 
Maybe not Syria at the moment and a few dangerous places, but I'm curious about North Korea. Refusing to go somewhere because of its politics or morale is not my kind, I'm sure I hate something or people in pretty much all countries and would probably love something too, if it's not people, then animal, nature, landscapes...
 
Countries that are dangerous, there's a war or illness going around, and yah that's about it. North Korea first came to my head and also India because I don't feel safe going there as a woman!
 
Just because guns are legal doesn't mean everybody has guns. Besides, guns aren't the worst weapons in the world.

I didn't say everybody has guns in that country, I'd just prefer to not go to a country with guns, I feel unsafe enough where I live and we don't have guns legal, so imagine how I would feel there.

I would go everywhere pretty much except for North Korea and Syria at this point in time.

Russia is extremely homophobic, right?
 
Russia unfortunately is a mixed bag, depending on where you go. Moscow is bad, but Rostov is ok. Its levels of crime and corruption are at this point worse than they were back in the USSR. It certainitly isnt the worst country, but is not the best either.


EDIT: Shoot. I read the last post as 9-30 instead of 9-03. Sorry mods.

Its true, its so sad. Let people be themselves.


Very true. I had looked at doing voluntary work in Uganda many years back when I left school. Due to the homophobic views of many people there I never went through with it unfortunately. Which is a shame as it would have been a school I'd have been working in but obviously I would have had to live there and just couldn't be in an environment away from people I know in a place I wouldn't feel comfortable.

Russia would be another one for similar reasons.
And as much as I would have always liked to go to Australia, I have step family over there, I think my fear of the insects (mostly spiders) that are over there would prevent me from ever going. Although I know they aren't all over the place, my paranoia would get the better of me :(

The Philippines. Duterte is a tyrannical nutcase.

Oh my god, I'm a Filipino and I was totally waiting for someone to say this, thank you. As much as I love my country, dear god how I hate our President. He's a disgrace to the Philippines and I feel ashamed to be under him. :')

Also one country I wouldn't go to is China. They have a very rude culture. Been to China on a vacation once and it was a terrible experience (especially since we were scammed; they thought of us Filipino tourists as stupid or something).

I'm sorry to hear that!:( Also, yeah, his "war on drugs' is COMPLETELY draconic! Killing people for using drugs? Like, WTF?! Addiction is a health issue, not a criminal one.
 
I would visit anywhere if I'm entirely honest, I have little faith in humanity as a general thing so I take little notice of how the people are in the places I go to. Sure if the people are friendly and welcoming it makes the trip more pleasant but if you restrict yourself to places like that you'll miss out on seeing a lot of beautiful places. I've learnt to adapt myself to the places that I go to which I think is a sign of respect many tourists don't have as most want the country to adapt to their needs.

Yeah ikr, and yeah he's a freaking nut. Comparing himself to Hitler what even

Also yeah anywhere where people are overly religious and have stupid rules for either sex/gender like...
