“Only place I’ve ever been that I’ve sworn I’d never go back to. After 2 days of walking around followed by groups of men and boys trying to touch my wife (who was dressed modestly with legs and shoulders covered), followed by aggression when either me or her voiced our displeasure with this, we gave up trying to sight-see and spent the rest of our vacation in the hotel.” –ItsSupperHans

Locals don’t leave you alone and don’t take no for an answer . no I don’t want to buy a wooden flute from the 90s, no I don’t want to but D&G sunglasses from china for $80. Idk maybe I had a bad experience but I’ll never go back to the Bahamas, at least Nassau” – Reddit

“Looks pretty in photographs, but that’s because they don’t properly convey the fact that the canals are open sewers, and have been for centuries. You can’t get away from the smell. It’s also expensive as hell.”- Reddit

Second prize was an all expenses paid trip to Winnipeg for a week.” – Reddit

“It’s too crowded and dirty and overwhelming for my tastes. I don’t knock anyone who likes it though. I really wanted to like it too but it just wasn’t for me I guess.” – Reddit

“Hands down the worst place I’ve ever been. Imagine summers with 3 months straight of 100+ degree days and lows in the 90s. A place wholly reliant on agriculture that, on those hot days, the sour aroma of burning goat shit wafts across the flat, brown landscape.” – Reddit

“Crime rampant and police corrupt. I’ve been all over Europe, and even in supposedly poorer countries the average person is well mannered and generally welcoming. Athens is the opposite. Plus it’s dirty as fuck.” – Reddit
