Cruises. It's literally people who are so terrified of international travel, they bring their home culture with them on a boat. Even if the mechanics of cruises are generally nice, they are filled with, and cater to this demographic. Personally when I am traveling, too many other Americans or Germans kind of ruins the vibe, so a whole boat of them is like purgatory.

miami. orlando (i.e. disney world and universal). las vegas. dubai. any other middle-to-upper class playground.

on the other hand, so people cannot say i mentioned anywhere in the center of capitalism: i'd love to meet ireland, scotland, brittany, galiza. the museums in new york, london, madrid, barcelona and paris are indeed something to see. the historic buildings and excavations in rome are of interest. and restaurant, café and bar-trotting in madrid, valencia, barcelona, paris, vienna, amsterdam, rome, naples, tokyo is something i'd love to do.

I liked my first all inclusive resort in Mexico very much. The second one had mediocre food and it rained heavily for three straight days, so much that the rain came through the thatched roof, and people pestered us to sign up for time share type presentations. It just looked a lot better than it was, and the beach was very basic.

London. It doesn't even have capital vibes.

Dubai. A cultureless fake city in the desert, full of posers.

Honestly speaking, Dubai.

Not because of slavery, poop trucks, questionable government policies, etc.

The real reason to me is that it does not offer anything traditional or historical. Yes it has some five start restaurants. Yes it has some big malls. Yes you can do stuff like desert driving or hot air balloons. These are all stuff that could be done anywhere else for cheaper.

Cruise ships. Not really a destination but I hate them so much.

Paris

Venice. Smelly, super crowded and everywhere is a tourist trap trying to extract $$$.

Switzerland. Don't go unless you're perfectly happy spending 50+ USD for mediocre food per day. It is incredibly fucking expensive.

If you're Australian, Bali.

Two of my least favourite places I've visited have been Cancún and Phuket. Both were minor stops in larger journeys, and I had fairly low expectations, but hot damn these places truly sucked ass. The countries they reside in have some truly great stuff, but you won't find them in these places.

If you’re from the Midwest, anywhere in the Midwest. It’s all exactly the same.

Florida

Please don't go to Salem MA in October. It is a gorgeous small city and my favorite place to be, but during October it becomes so insanely overcrowded that it poses a huge problem for the locals.

Go during summer instead, it's a little cooler than most of the US
