Travel Abroad - Where Is Somewhere You Want To Go But Never Will?

They never tell you what you need to know.
Today, now more than ever international travel to certain places is not a good idea, who knows if it ever will be. Where are some places internationally you’d like to go but likely never will, due to your fear of safety or how possibly Americans (among other foreigners) are not viewed favorably?


For me, my grandfather came from Eastern Europe (previously under USSR influence) and I always wanted to go there. I know several people here, that grew up there and they have said do not go, it’s too shitty and you’ll be miserable. That was before all this drama.

Exploring China would be cool, but probably too many issues to cross.


Guess I’ll just keep Japan and New Zealand on my bucket list. I can pull those off with no issues with the exception of the long ass flight.

I don't know that there's any place I wouldn't go because of that. I've been to a couple of places in Eastern Europe, and posted reviews about some of the clubs I saw there. But as the OP said it's a little crazy trying travel internationally these days.

I would like to go to Egypt and see the pyramids. But that part of the world is so fucked up now, and likely to remain fucked up, that I’ll probably never make it before I die.

You look at the list of stuff to explore you start to realize we just don't live long enough to see it all. Probably the African continent, too much political instability throughout, looks like beautiful place though. China's a good one too.

America took forever to see, and there's still stuff left to see, but I would like to focus on hitting Europe this decade if I can but this shit is hard though, you got to have the time off, you got have the money, not have a pandemic going on shutting air travel down.

Hong Kong. Even if I eventually make it, it won’t be the same Hong Kong as five years ago.

Egypt.

On the plus side, I’ve managed to visit 25 countries so far. So, plenty of memories.

Egypt.

Pyramids would be cool to see in person...right up until a Jihadist kidnaps and cuts your head off and makes a Tiki's Tok video of it. I mean, the pyramids aren't "that" cool.

Pattaya

The problem is...there's no way to sell Pattaya or Thailand to your friends and family other than to just admit you're going to a foreign country to bang chicks. Nobody is going to believe you want to visit Thailand to see a museum or something. You just gotta come clean about it and admit you're a pervert.

Anything near Russia--former USSR or nearby Middle East--gets an asterisk right now. Only ones on my list in that area that I'd feel safe going to are Romania and Czech.

I'd love to go back to Israel but wouldn't without a local.

Nina’s always had a huge inferior complex. It’s why she’s historically had to self edify her means to make up for the lack of what she has. In other words, she’s psycho and we all know that guys are wired to fuck, but the more intelligent yiu are the more you realize to stay away from crazy.

Show me a hot woman, and I’ll show you someone tired of fucking her. My guess is Nina’s boyfriend is about to experience this well known statement soon. Especially after he tires of hearing her brag about herself so much. Hell we get tired of it in this website, I can only imagine how it’d be if you were actually dating that! Yawn…. Rinse and repeat is Nina’s MO to self aggrandize to cover for her inferiority complex.

WTF you talking about. They call it Czech when speaking to English speakers.
Just like no one at my German company has ever told me "don't call it Germany, it's Deutschland." That just makes one sound like a prick.

Perhaps if they don't speak English well. Are you pretending to be a Czech person with poor English language skills? Čechy would refer to Czech lands so it would be a mis translation. The English terms are Czechia and Czech Republic.

Holding off of international travel due to:

1. Civil unrest happening worldwide at the moment
2. Not going to leave my dog behind
3. Not wanting to be *too* far from my parents

I plan to do more of that kind of thing in like 10-20 years

If its on safety grounds and somewhere I'd wanted to go; probably its Iran ... looking highly unlikely.

Cuba, Columbia and Croatia. Book on a swingers cruise with wifey this august assuming Putin doesn’t fuck things up too bad.

Don’t be scared of a couple of serious stories. The world is an awesome place and you will die before things get 100% safe. But things aren’t that safe at home either so take your chances. I’ve been to Isreal (amazing) Egypt (ditto) Thailand (completely amazing) and South America (Argentina f’ing amazing, check out Iguazu falls) in the last two years. Covid makes things a bit harder but that is diminishing.

Don’t be a shrinking violet, get out there and travel!!

I know a dude who went to Phuket on his honeymoon with his new wife. I told him he was fuckin nuts to spend that much (some ultra-fancy resort) and sit that long on a goddamn plane, just to screw his wife and look at some pretty beaches. Could do the same thing with a two hour flight to Bermuda. What an idiot. Anyway his wife is hot as fuck, but still, why go there when you can't partake in the best part?

Having long ago been bitten by the travel bug, I don't think there's anywhere I wouldn't go, under the right circumstances or with the right company.
(And, even with all the travel I've done, I haven't been to a fraction of the places I'd like to.)
Obviously, the exceptions to that are areas where there is active fire or war- torn remnants. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nina, I’m sure you haven’t worked with all cash buyers, because your main clientele are first time buyers looking to afford an entry level condo with seller assistance on all closing costs. Your response projects that’s what market you work with, so I’ll keep it simple. Why would anyone who claimed to have excellent grades at top notch schools and was working in their law degree for the end result to get their JD, all of a sudden resort to working at a dive club in Ohio and sell real estate on the side?

The answer: Nina’s full of more shot than MackTruck dumping a load in someone’s basement!

Nina, even you can’t bullshit your way out of this purported great life yiu lead, self aggrandizing your life in order to make up for deficiencies in your career choices. Go back to doing extras in Detroit. Oh that’s right, you keep telling the lie that you e never had to resort to doing extras in an extras laden environment. You’d make a great Nazi, Nina.

@Blah:. Definitely take that safari. I worked in Nairobi for a while and took a weekend off to go to Masai Mara. It's definitely amazing. Sleeping in a tent with the lions outside sounds like adventure, but keep in mind that Kenyans have been in the eco-tourism business for a hundred years. You'll be safer than you would in most American cities.
