Places you would never want to go on Hoilday

[JoeyBartonHanson]

Can be anywhere

I will start
Magualf
Blackpool (I live in Lancashire)

Wales
WHAT???
Seriously?
Most of Wales is bloody gorgeous.

Australia is too fat

I always thought they were quite slim from all the swimming and surfing

Anywhere cold - I can freeze my arse off in the .Lake District and still sleep in my own bed.

Dubai and most of the Middle East

I quite like the idea of Australia and New Zealand but they're so far away. Until they move them closer or I can afford to go first class it's not happening.

Albania is well worth a visit, especially the far south.

RottnestFerry Are you actually trying to tell me Australia is not racist 🤔

Gulf states - no
North Africa - been there, never ever want to go again
Not keen on anywhere urban, would make exception for a short break and major cultural highlight.

I am quite fixed in my liking of mountains (Scotland, Alps, Andes...)

Any Hi-de-Hi style holiday camp (Butlins etc.).
Anywhere cold. I have been dragged on ski holidays twice and NEVER AGAIN.
China
Saudi Arabia

I love the poster who said Jaywick .

There are very few places I wouldn’t go. They’d have to be genuinely dangerous, gov’t advise not to travel to etc.

Gulf States
C. America
Mexico save a couple of the islands
S. America
Australia/New Zealand/Antipodes

Dubai!

Dubai

Holidays there are just an ostentatious display of wealth, a lack of class and zero awareness of the poor human rights standards. Just UGH!

Anywhere where women and LGBT people are treated as second class citizens (or worse).

Amsterdam is somewhere I’ve absolutely no interest in going. Don’t ask me why I couldn’t tell you.

Parents are just back from Australia and DM hated the stopover in Hong Kong. Said you couldn’t pay her to go back. Loved Singapore on the way out though 🤷🏼‍♀️

UAE and suchlike.
South America has never appealed for some reason.
I would like to visit Scandinavia and Micronesia.

Australia - spiders
NZ - looks OK but not worth travelling all that way for. My friend says it’s just a far away Scotland (where we live)
Dubai/UAE. Stifling hot desert. No thanks
North Africa
Mexico
Magaluf and it’s ilk

Any where where it's not safe or legal to be gay

Never fancied Thailand or any of the gap year destinations. Then was watching Race Across the World, and began to see their appeal.

Ski resorts in winter - hate snow and ice

Devon and Cornwall are way too expensive for what they are- much nicer and cheaper to go to Scotland or Wales

Plus, motorways are not good and everywhere is super-crowded in the summer

Someone who is half Cornish half Bradfordian I flouncing but fwiw

My no go list are:
Benidorm
Lanzarote - only because my dad calls it
Lanzargrotty
Blackpool - went once never again
Magaluf
Any of the major party places - although secluded Ibiza doesn’t sound that bad.
Butlins - went once never again

Disneyland
Dubai

Dubai
Magaluf
Any Disney resort
New York
Places like the Seychelles, idyllic places with white sand beaches. I would love to go for a couple of days as they look so stunningly beautiful, but I think I would be bored to tears after that.
Santorini

I'd not rule anywhere out tbh. The whole world is worth a look, even if it's only once.

Anywhere:

• very hot
• very commercialised
• very party orientated
• with nothing to do but lie on a beach
• with poor women's/human rights

Can't believe how many people have said Turkey!! It's bloody amazing. Dh is a history buff and we spent a month backpacking all over Anatolia. It was fabulous. Great sights, history, nature, food, people. Istanbul was just superb. What's not to like let alone make the list of detested places?!

Blackpool - my most hated place ever!
Hated it, would never ever go again

Husband went to Jerusalem said it was a shit hole

It’s so far from a shithole. Much of the old City is a typical Middle Eastern market but with nobody hassling you. The architecture is magnificent, most of it is spotlessly clean, it’s virtually impossible to eat badly and there’s no risk of food poisoning plus tap water is drinkable. There are some Amazing restaurants, a great cafe culture, good shopping, an efficient and clean air conditioned bus service.
