Countries you would never go to?

i'd really love to travel everywhere, but as others have mentioned the political issues in a lot of places could make that dangerous. i remember my family wanted to take a trip to dubai, but even though it would have been a great experience, the extent to how openly homophobic the government is (i think it's literally punishable by death if i remember correctly?) made me feel really unsafe, i couldn't go somewhere where the majority of people would want me dead for who i am.

I think as it stands, I'll keep away from North Korea and USA if Trump gets into power... I don't fancy getting dragged into world war 3...

Anything ending in "stan".

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.

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...

I hate how he says something really stupid (i.e. "What has the UN done for us?"; "Whistling to women is a form of compliment."; *curses every curse word he knows on public media and says it's just an expression*) then follows it up with "Just joking". It's annoying as heck. I'm only 17 so I couldn't vote against him, shame.

As much as I love my motherland, sheesh our president is a total whack. It's come to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if people from other countries tell me they hate the Philippines because they're repelled by Duterte's words and foul mouth. Can't believe a lot are actually supporting him just because they believe "a lot deserve to die". No morals, tsk.

ALSO the Philippines is filled with overly religious people who still discriminate homosexuality and the LGBT+ community and say they are just a phase/state of the mind. Some just have really stupid reasons though, like my roommate is bisexual but she couldn't come out to her mom because her mom wants a grandchild so she wants my roommate to remain straight like........... really?
But I do love how the LGBT+ community is now making a stand and holding Pride Parades every now and then to remind people that LGBT+ should be taken more seriously and should be widely accepted.

Yeah I wouldn't go back to Mexico, back when I went it was when it wasn't so bad with the cartel and stuff, and we went to "the nice part" in Puerto Vallarta and it was actually a good vacation at an all inclusive resort and stuff that was right near the ocean. The only bad part was the really bad constant hot poops from ICE CUBES! We stayed away from the water but yeah ice cubes in drinks... Terrible.

Yes. We were so sick, and I know it was from the ice cubes. I'll never go back. My kids and I had to get medicine from the doctor when we returned. My daughter was so sick, I was worried she would get dehydrated. Luckily the medicine worked really fast.
