Worst Destination Experienced by Traveler Who Visited 103 Countries Revealed
In an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on Reddit, a seasoned traveler known as 'Boston_772' has shared his harrowing experiences in Somalia, a country that consistently ranks among the world's most dangerous. With a total of 103 countries under his belt, 'Boston_772' has seen a fair share of the world, but Somalia stands out as the worst place he's ever visited.
During his stay in Mogadishu, the capital city of Somalia, 'Boston_772' found himself surrounded by heavy military presence that did not feel reassuring. He was advised not to leave the building he was staying in 'under any circumstances', and when he did venture out, he was escorted by heavily armed convoys with armed guards for safety. Despite these precautions, he heard sporadic gunfire in the distance and felt genuinely on edge, particularly at the airport.
Somalia's reputation for terrorism and lawlessness is well-deserved, making it a highly unsafe destination for most travelers. The country is currently experiencing political instability, with widespread gang violence and kidnappings, further increasing the risk for tourists.
Despite these challenging experiences, 'Boston_772' has also shared his recommendations for safe and underrated travel destinations. He highly recommends Ireland's major cities and the Aran islands for casual travelers, praising their charm and hospitality. Slovenia, another country he has visited, is another underrated destination in Europe, according to him. With its stunning landscapes and rich culture, Slovenia offers a unique and unforgettable travel experience.
When asked about his future travel plans, 'Boston_772' expressed his eagerness to continue exploring the world, despite the occasional challenges he encounters. His AMA session continues to offer valuable insights into his travels, life abroad, and advice for those looking to venture out and see the world.
