If youβre from the Midwest, anywhere in the Midwest. Itβs all exactly the same.

I'm from Canada, only been to Minneapolis once but absolutely loved the city. Would certainly consider moving there, but it being smack dab in the middle of buttfuck nowhere is so sad.
Good food man. One of the best designed cities in the U.S. imo.
Sparse, but underrated.
People hog the left lane and don't respect flashing to pass. Fuck is up with that? Some of the most inconsiderate, yet slow drivers in America.
I've never heard of flashing to pass?! In Australia that's straight up road rage antics. You might want to check whether your local customs apply to the places you travel. That kind of misunderstanding could get you hurt.
Minneapolis is a great place to live, but I'm not sure I'd want to visit as a tourist. Which I'm totally cool with, I grew up in Orlando and I've had enough of living in a tourist town.

Switzerland. Don't go unless you're perfectly happy spending 50+ USD for mediocre food per day. It is incredibly fucking expensive.

Two of my least favourite places I've visited have been CancΓΊn and Phuket. Both were minor stops in larger journeys, and I had fairly low expectations, but hot damn these places truly sucked ass. The countries they reside in have some truly great stuff, but you won't find them in these places.

Never go to a place because it's popular, if you wouldn't go there if nobody else was there, you probably won't enjoy it when other people are there.
If you have a deep and strong interest in a place or a thing, it's great to visit no matter what. Low season might be better
Ohio.
No, Ohio is appropriately rated, which is why it is no oneβs vacation destination.
I took a trip to Cleveland and Cedar Point for an extended weekend and found it to be alright.

Egypt
Egypt is great for diving. The nature on the Sinai peninsula is at least interesting, if not gorgeous in places. Political instability and the general culture do mean that you can have a bad time there, especially as a woman.
Egypt is the kind of country where I want to see things in it, but I kind of want to get the sanitized experience if I go there.

Kashmir.
Why Kashmir?
Too many tourist traps. It's annoying.
What kind of tourist traps?
Santorini is really nice, but my god it's hard to dodge the stupid orange duck-faced bints stopping to take selfies for the 'Gram every ten seconds
Iβm glad I went once, but agree and am ok with not going back. Milos is 1000x better imo.

I wasn't a big fan of Bermuda, but I feel like it was more to do with what I like to do when traveling.
Food was expensive and kind of bland. There wasn't that much to see or do other than relax by a body of water and drink.
