Any place where a lot of people are. I don’t want to see them in my holidays. Scottish highlands were nice. And Norway.
Croatia, I live there.
What’s it like to live in?
Not good, most people live paycheck to paycheck. High unemploynent rate when not summer because we only have jobs in tourist season which is summer. If you aren’t living in a bigger city 0 public transport.
If you live in smaller cities/countryside you will most likelly be forced to drive at minimum 10km to closest store’s, or 60+km to closest er and 100+ km to any decent hospital that’s any good.
And let me not starting about the fact we adopted euro recently and the inflation which mak£s us try to survive on 850 euro wage with 500 euro rent and food costs where just one day trip to the store will eat up 25 euro minimally.
As a tourist atraction croatia is amazing, but as a place to live in it’s not unless you are lucky and came from outside the balkans, i, chich case you can %heive in the country as shown by a lot of americans who come ti live in Croatia after living on high wage jobs there and having expendable money ( average yearly income here barelly passes 12k euro last time I checked ).
Sounds rough mate
While not exactly a holiday destination per-se, having seen pictures of people literally waiting in line to get to the trash pile at the peak of Mt. Everest is such a turn-off that I’d skip it even if I was a true mountaineer.
Most of them. The more popular, the less I’d want to go.
Anywhere in the US. I live in a western country that’s basically a US colony, so I’ve seen and heard enough of the place without actually going there. Plus - Grand Canyon: it’s a lot of rocks with a big canyon amongst them. Doesn’t interest me.
Tokio; it’s just way too busy for me and all the tourists (particularly the ones that don’t have any manners) do their part.
Pisa, it is total tourist trap. Italy has way much better tourist destinations.

Florida because Florida
Any of the Disneys. Just screams consoomer to me and I risk running into a Disney adult
I’m sorry to tell you I am a disney adult.
I use to be a huge Disney theme park fan, but the increasing nickle and dining throughout the years has really turned me off. I still deeply appreciate and admire the architecture and artistry of the parks, but I am not a fan of the direction of the company as a whole tbh.
That’s disappointing, Ms Cheese, but everyone has their flaws lol
Any resort, frankly. I remember a conversation with a colleague a while back about holidays. I said I’d like to see Turkiye, and they mentioned that they had been the year before - to a resort at Antalya that they never left the entire time. Now, each to their own, if that’s what makes you happy on holiday then do that. But to me personally? That sounds bloody miserable. That sounds like you didn’t see the country at all. Why go o another country to only stay at a resort trying to cordon you off from the country? If I go to Turkiye I want to see the Roman and Ottoman heritage of Istanbul, or try all the Turkish coffee, or see the rock-cut towns and balloon festivals in Cappadocia, or visit Gobekli Tepe. You know, stuff I can only experience in Turkiye
Many people go just to experience the beach or weather… And honestly, why even go to Turkey or Greece or Spain if you’re just going to do that? Cheaper places exist with even better weather, like Egypt…

If you do that I’ll fight you till the very end cos I hardcore ❤️ disney
Taj Mahal because it’s in India and I am female.
There’s nowhere that I wouldn’t like to see for myself at least once. So I’ll go with somewhere that I’ve been already and wouldn’t miss if I never went again.
Paris. It’s literally just a big dirty city with graffiti and people peeing in alleyways like any other city, plus a few famous landmarks that you only need to see once, in areas where everything costs twice as much. Big whoop.
On a side note: I didn’t encounter the stereotype of rude French people anywhere in France. If you’re friendly, don’t treat waiters and stuff like servants and don’t expect people to fall over their feet for you, I found them to be just like any other human beings anywhere else. Some people are friendly, some people are just doing their jobs and getting through their days.
The closest I came to a ‘rude’ French person was on my way out of the country, going through all the hoops in the airport. This one women at the counter’s face almost seemed to light up when she saw and was so friendly and warm. Until I spoke English and then her face just dropped and she barely looked at me or said a word the rest of the time.
I feel the same about Paris, there’s nothing romantic or magical about it. It had easily the worst air pollution I’ve ever seen in Europe (but I understand that’s improved a lot in the last decade), it’s overcrowded and smells like sewage everywhere. Not a place I’d ever care to visit again. That said I use a number of French services and I really like a lot of their cultural exports, and I’d love to explore other areas of France.
I’d love to explore other areas of France
When I was there, apart from trips into Paris, I was staying in a little village about half an hour from Paris called Nozay. Now that was something that you don’t just get back home like a big city. Cobbled streets in certain parts, half the buildings are probably as old or older than my country, there’s the little town square where everything is from the mayor’s office to the bakery to the pub and tobacconist lol. I’d love to visit the French countryside and little villages and stuff again a lot more than I’d like to see a big city again.
I want to see Japan, but I have almost no interest in Tokyo or Mt. Fuji or anything well known outside of Japan. I want to see small towns and non-touristy places.
Turkish resorts. They are mostly in places where people were taken in bunches to the sea and thrown off board just a bit more than 100 years ago. And anything Turkish tbh. Oh yes, there is a lot of friendliness of the “oh so your ancestors are from Ispir, mine too, I have friends in Ispir, come visit” kind. It feels mind-bending, because it’s always orthogonal to whether the person saying it thinks that genocide is, you know, not okay.
I would probably want to see the less tourist (less inhabited honestly) parts, where villagers follow you with suspicious looks.
Various despotic monarchies attracting scammers and whores. That is, I’d probably be interested to take a look, but the fact that there are places where you can be jailed arbitrarily technically doesn’t instill confidence.
Israel. Being part Jewish too, I’d kinda feel like complicit in evil. I’ve felt that once, don’t want to repeat yet.
Basically, anything Israeli and Turkish because they won’t admit their genocide.
What about Japan?
