The USA. Even if it hadn’t gone on its path of fascism, I disliked being treated as a potential terrorist at the airport. I didn’t even ‘look’ brown, Muslim, or anything they would’ve disliked.
Having to wait 3.5 hrs without toilet break? And having to wear a helmet when bicycling? Fuck you, USA.
Never again?
China unfortunately. I enjoyed the country the last time, but I see no future where I go back in my lifetime. It’s not safe for me.
Not till they clean up their act a lot more?
The US, I live right next to it, I’m the right colour and gender to not get harassed, but I’m not crossing that border anytime soon.
Like you, my boycott started in the first Trump term. There are places in the US that i have dreamt of visiting since i was a child - but i have decided to never realize those dreams because every dollar i would spend in the US would help prop up a racist authoritarian regime.
The US is one of the countries I would have enjoyed visiting again, but just can’t see myself ever doing it. In addition to the whole fascist thing being awful on its own, dealing with any US institutions/agencies remains a hard no for the foreseeable future.
The USA. I’ve never actually been there but you couldn’t even pay me to cross the border. I’d rather not risk being disappeared to a ICE torture site because they searched my phone and found out I called Trump a poopoo head.
Yugoslavia. Mainly because it’s not there anymore. Would love to go to Croatia again for the first time though.
Hehehe, I enjoyed this
🙂
I go to the US regularly because my fiancée lives there
We’re working on getting her a visa so that we can get her the fuck out of that backwards shithole
Once that’s done, I could go the rest of my life not returning
The U S of A. Not until the civil war is over and they go extinct like the dinosaurs. Then I want all of the Midwest
I’ve never been to the US, so I can’t say I won’t go there again, but I can say I won’t go there at all.
But in terms of countries I have been to, probably New Zealand. There’s nothing wrong with New Zealand, but it feels too much like Australia, and baring me suddenly developing an unlimited amount of time and money, there are other places I would rather go
I’m really curious about your experience! I’ve been to both and from my experience Australia was a dry boring desert as far as the eye can see with kangaroos, and NZ was like stepping into LotR. Did I see the wrong parts?
You’re right about that, and if I ever do go back, that will be why! But the sameness I was talking about is more the cultural identities of the countries. Every place we stayed felt like it could be transplanted to Australia, and fit right in. It might be different if I wasn’t Australian :)
Monaco. Absolutely disgusting amounts of wealth on display everywhere.
USA are a couple of presidents away to either fascism or back to regular life so “never” can’t apply for the political reason I read here. I’d love to back, just not nowadays.
I traveled a bit and honestly there’s no country I would not like to visit again. Some cities, maybe, but I can’t say it about a whole country.
USA
not a country, but Rome. very dirty
France. Love the people. Love the history. Just didn’t do it for me.
Uh. Where in France did you go? If you only saw Paris: there’s a lot more to France than Paris.
Paris, Blois, Bordeaux, Versailles, and lots of countryside in between.
Probably Indonesia. Went to Bali and it was underwhelming. Unlikely to have a reason to see the rest of the country. Too many other places I’d like to visit for the first time or revisit.

As a Canadian, the US.
I live on the border. I’ve crossed hundreds of times. I will not enter a fascist country who threatens my own country’s sovereignty.
I would be willing to visit again if the American people were to make some real changes. And simply ditching Trump won’t do it to fix the systemic problens in the country.
But it doesn’t look like they’re willing to do so.

I agree. Trump’s comments about Canada were beyond the pale. They were effectively a declaration of war in my assessment, and even if it is only ever a trade war and an economic war and an information war and a ideological war, and even if it never escalates to territorial seizure or armed conflict (and I’m not convinced those things aren’t in the pipeline) I am treating them like a hostile nation from this point forward until Trump and his allies are not just removed from power, but either punished or meaningful change is implemented to prevent someone like them from taking control of the country again.
I live in one of the safest countries in the world, and I put extreme value on that safety. Threats to our safety from our neighbor are going to be treated with the utmost seriousness, and we will defend ourselves. Elbows up.

Same here, I’m done with the US. I would not have visited Nazi Germany either. The country is descending into civil war and it’s only going to get worse.

Don’t blame you one bit.
I’ll still be coming up to visit y’all in the North. Hope ya don’t mind. I’m very anti Cheeto Chimp.

Lots more US plates than usual up in my touristy neck of the woods here. We kind of just assume USA plate + in Canada = probably not one of those dumbasses
