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 problems 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, at least where I am pretty far from any borders
I'm looking for great beer in Montreal @ Messorem.... IDGAF about the rest.
Although, I have a trip to Nova Scotia on my short list. My GF has a family connection that she wants to investigate.
Nova Scotia is awesome. I'm born and bred but I've been away for 15 years. Just returned home and I appreciate it now
I visited in '85. Don't remember much. My GF & I are looking into a road trip up from the Boston area.
I'll be making a Big road map of brewery stops.
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.
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 (and even if I did, or anyone else; the fact that they are that racist is a monument to their patheticness). Hell, in American terms I'd have been considered a Rockefeller Republican. And even then one couldn't pay me my weight worth in gold to return to that shithole.
Having to wait 3.5 hrs without toilet break before being let into the country ON ARRIVAL? Being fingerprinted?
The museums there were also nationalistic as fuck, which I disliked.
And having to wear a helmet when bicycling? Fuck you, USA.
Aside from that, I think for future destinations, I'd also skip Egypt, Israel, and most of the Middle East save for Lebanon.
Oh, and Hungary too except for the Pride March to give a middle finger to Orban. He's a Russian puppet bootlicker, in my view.

The US. I'm Scottish, 56 years old. I've been tot he US many times when I was younger, first time when I was 17 for just about 6 months.
I took my kid to the original Coheed & Cambria Neverender in 2008 in Manhattan when he was 15.
I made the decision to never go to the US again during Trump's first term when they implemented the Muslim ban. My good friend is Scottish Muslim. He had a holiday booked in the US for him and his family and had to cancel it. I can't stomach racism or any of the hate shit.
Seeing what's happening now simply reaffirms that I made the correct & right choice.
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.
Yugoslavia. Mainly because it's not there anymore. Would love to go to Croatia again for the first time though.
Hehehe, I enjoyed this
🙂
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.
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
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 blazing 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.
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
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.
not a country, but Rome. very dirty
USA
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.
