        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 ).

        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.

    Any place where a lot of people are. I don’t want to see them in my holidays. Scottish highlands were nice. And Norway.

    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…

      There is lots in Bali that is bogan free. I too hate the idea of bogans on holidays. I was quite skeptical of my first Bali trip, but loved it and have been back a few times, most recently with young kids. Even Kuta is quite family oriented these days instead of drunk bogan central.

      It’s got a great mix of good weather, cheap, cultural sites and sights, beaches, boozy stuff (if wanted), relaxing forests, volcanic cycling, zoos, butterfly gardens, temples etc. I go to GC or an Fijian island and I’d be bored in comparison.

    Don’t know if it’s a holiday destination, but Dubai. Heat and shopping malls are two things I’d pay to get away from.

      Yep that’s somewhere that’s just never interested me. I hate shopping malls and being too hot so paying money to suffer it isn’t me

      I also hate extreme heat and shopping malls, and have been to Dubai numerous times. The heat and hypercapitalism were horrible, but the city itself was fascinating (to me). The last time I was there it was 52°C. I must say, the novelty wore off on that trip.

      Same same. I so not want to visit an extremely hot mall where I might also be thrown in jail for being female and existing wrong. Sounds like a bad time even if everything goes fine!

    Bali

    Indonesia has so many beautiful places, but Bali is mostly (I know there are nice places and things too) visited by people who I actively avoid

    The Australian bogan is bad enough, but there are the dregs of all sorts of societies there

    Go to Lombok instead. It’s fucking gorgeous

    New York City. Stayed one night before flying home and discovered it was noisy, smelly, crowded, dirty, expensive and generally horrible.

    • I went to NYC on business (trade show, working the booth). I was glad I was there only for the closing weekend. Some of my colleagues had to work the booth the whole week and be in NYC the whole time.

      I really did not like New York, and I didn’t even go to the rougher areas. Just too noisy for me, too expensive, and it smelled bad.

      And this was in the early '90s.

    Thailand. Too hot, sweaty and heard too many horror stories. The culture and scenery just isn’t my cup if tea so I’d spend a fortune for nothing
