Honestly I thought Miami beach was pretty shit. It has its nice sides, but it's full of show offs, rented super cars and crazy people. And obviously really expensive.
Lol so so true

now seriously ... Rimini Italy, very chic senior tourism.
and twatter 😂
Going to predict a lot of big cities appear in responses here. What a lot of people haven't worked out is that unless you're rich (i.e. your local purchasing power is multiples the destination you're travelling to), most cities are pretty miserable to experience as a tourist. They're designed for living in and for locals.
agree.
correct - if you are earning USD or Euro, even better in BTC, generally you are fine traveling to many countries - I once lived in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam and realized how much money I've save from living there.
it depends on what kind of tourists you are and what you are traveling for, short term is usually fine, but long term is definitely miserable because you would get to see way better options in the same country! and I think most big cities are actually designed for people that focus on making money ( not necessary for locals, many big cities trying to attract more foreigners than locals ) not really for living.
Definitely, Paris, France, was very different from what I believed, it is nothing like what the movies and people sell you about that city.
Everyone here hatin on Paris 😂😭
It’s a horrid place. City of unnecessary cultural snobbery.
I found England pretty boring. I mean a lot of interesting historic buildings and beautiful coast. But it was just always cold and rainy and miserable
Hey now, chap, that's how we like it!
Bali, Indonesia
Don’t get me wrong. It’s a place replete with culture n tradition, the views are amazing, but my wife n I were stuck in this horrendous traffic jam after watching a mountainside performance. Two-lane road, cars crawled, and wife wanting to pee don’t make for good travel memories
Paris. Dirty streets, even nastier people.
Urine smell everywhere, terrible public transportation… but also nice small streets, museums…
has to be some credit given for getting the full range of experience
the last straw was when you spend all that money to enter the louvre museum just to discover that the Mona Lisa is about the size of a standard 8'x11' sheet of printer paper. They pack you like sardines into a tiny room and threaten to whip you with baguettes if you disturb her with flash photography behind her 15 inches of bullet proof glass. And if you sound even remotely foreign, forget it.
Do you know if it's worse than NYC? Lol. My grandmother wants to go there in April.
I've never been to NYC, but my wife loves it there. I told two places I have zero interest in visiting are NYC and Cali.
duuuude cali is sick though.
Their outdoors scene makes me envious, but Lord knows that they'd find a way to bone me for any number of my political, religious, sexual, and cultural opinions that don't line up with their woke shit.
The caricature that the media paints about California is mostly bullshit.
the eastern strip of california, much more interesting than the west!

Eastern Sierras 👀
Jamaica. As soon as you leave the tourist areas (hotels, private beaches, harbors...) you're swarmed by scammers. Like dozens of people holding plastic trash they sell in your face and maybe pickpockets. A real bummer since the island was pretty. I guess most people there are nice people but the small number of idiots are doing their best to destroy the tourist industry
have heard this...have never really had a strong desire to go anyway
oh many, but here is my top 2
This might be the worst place I've ever seen in my life, I went there out of curiosity and can't wait to leave the next day!
That's like a living hell there - you have women ( even ladyboys ) from different ages selling sex there and trying all they can to get attention from men, even showing you certain part of organs, and in the street 🤮 and the crazy part is there are many men going there for that.
Not only it have the worst airport I've ever seen, and with such cold weather, average food but for such high prices, and the most turn off part is people is quite distant.
huh amsterdam surprising! I know it's very touristy but have heard many great things about it. Perhaps not!!
they have some good things but not so standout to me, and the bad outweighs them.
and oh I forgot to mentioned that you always need to pay attention to the bikes when walking!
Lol yea i imagine that get old quick
They have some good coffee shops, that's for sure. Some of them even serve coffee!
Being a Scandinavian I find the Dutch refreshingly direct and open. 😁 Their ability to claim land from the sea so long ago was a real feat of engineering.
But Amsterdam itself - a nice river with older buildings, otherwise just the average western European big city + a smell of weed & red light district.
Memphis. Sorry Elvis but that place is a dump.
Baltimore. I know I'm not going out on a limb here, but the place has really gone down hill the past few years. I have spent time there on and off over the past 40 years. It was never great, but the Camden Yards and harbor development brought an economic revival for a while. Those days are over.
It was worth a drive through after watching the Wire. Didn't really feel the urge to park and explore though lol
I don't know that I definitely won't visit NY City or Las Vegas ever again, but I really disliked both cities. I found them to be dirty, crowded, expensive, and (in very different ways) they have very uncomfortable climates. NY at least has some amenities I've enjoyed, but it's not enough to make me want to return.
i've had a lot of fun in NYC, but yeah Vegas ehhhh. There's a lot that's cool around it, but in it and i just feel dirty lol
india
Why?
overpopulated shithole
Where are you from?
Heard if you get sick the doctors extract organs until you are either healthy again, or dead.
what didnt you like about it?
Moscow. It's too overcrowded
interesting. where are the good Russia destinations?
Saint Petersburg but only in the summer time.
Visit Siberia
In my country enough towns with couple of citizens
Exactly!
No idea
I wouldn't rule anywhere out, but one interesting observation for me has been that the USA used to be at the top of my list to visit, now I don't have much appetite to visit at all.
bank
North Korea because little is know about the place
makes me more curious to visit
I also want to visit!
would def be scared lol but what an experience that would be
Scam links in my mailbox
lol, learned through painful experience i imagine
I'll never visit custodial, KYC exchanges again
I have seen some realllly depressing neighbourhoods on the outskirts of Birmingham.
Like his place? :-/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdvwocdHDDA
Yes. Very grim.
I lived in Birmingham for several years, a bit more central so much better than these towns. We still had drug dealers and gang violence along our street though.
On second thoughts, my least favourite place in New Zealand is Rotorua (probably won't be a popular opinion haha). Went once and decided it was not my place! Don't like the lake area, mozzies everywhere, not to mention the rotten egg fart smells :D haha. We went back a few times after that but only to visit the Fat Dog cafe and take the kids on the luge, on the way through to Taupo where the lake is sooo much nicer! :D
I love travelling and travel a lot but I rarely go anywhere and think OMG that was total crap. You can usually find positives and learning experiences anywhere. That's said, I think the only place I truly hated was Vienna. I did go in 1997 though lol. I must have been shit as I did a European backpacking trip, visited many places and still remember it from all those years ago! haha Big city, no heart and soul, incredibly rude and unhelpful civil servants. It might have changed since then. I did go to Montpellier last year and I wasn't super impressed. Extremely busy to drive around, really stressful trying to get parking around the beach areas - probably won't go back there in a hurry.
Paris is a bit of a shit hole. Had to work there for a while, wouldn't go there for pleasure.
Dominican Republic
Bogotá - bleh
No matter what it is, I wouldn't want to live in Burkina Faso, the life expectancy is too small
Nutty putty cave
I personally wouldn't want to go to Paris again, just too dirty and full of people trying to rob you.
I wouldn't want to live on the moon or Mars when colonies are created there because the Earth is where my story started and where it will end
New York
I wouldn't want to be caught anywhere in India, the population is just too much to cope with my mental health
Koh Phang Ngan, Thailand A formerly beautiful island turned into a shitshow as it has become the global "Full Moon Party" destination. Ruined by hordes of drunk Eurotrash and drug dealers.
Tegucigalpa, Honduras. All the negative elements of a poor big city with none of the redeeming qualities: Crime, pollution, poverty. Things can improve. Look at El Salvador.
Ryanair.
