A man who has journeyed across the globe, visiting an impressive total of 190 countries, has shared which destination he considers the most ‘annoying’.
According to Admiral, most children will have visited at least ten countries before reaching adulthood, with many having traveled abroad by their fifth birthday.
Luca Pferdmenges began his travels at the age of 15 and, by age 22, has already ventured into 190 countries.
Luca’s travels have taken him to diverse places such as the Maldives, Mauritius, Brazil, and Belgium, leading to what is likely an extensive collection of Starbucks ‘You Are Here’ mugs.
Naturally, Luca has developed preferences for certain countries during his travels.
Discussing nations he appreciates that are often overlooked by other travelers, he mentioned: “Uzbekistan and some others in Central Asia, Baltic countries, Myanmar, North Macedonia, Bhutan, Montenegro, and most countries in Latin America.”
He continued, telling Mail Online: “People usually forget they exist, but they’re often way more exciting and more affordable than the ‘classic tourism destinations’.”
“Especially hidden gems like Bhutan and Myanmar. They are really unknown, but some of the prettiest countries in the world.”
When it comes to his personal favorites, Luca listed Mexico, Brazil, Israel, Spain, Bhutan, UK, UAE, Portugal, and Austria, with no specific ranking.
As for the most ‘annoying’ destination, in Luca’s view? Egypt.
“Egypt is the most annoying country for tourists in my opinion,” he stated. “Egypt, France, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, most of the Caribbean Lesser Antilles.”
“They’re often very touristy and often don’t have much besides pretty beaches.”
“The Caribbean is super-overrated, the Lesser Antilles, at least.”
Despite his thoughts on Egypt, it is Belgium that ranks as Luca’s least favorite.
“It just feels super unsafe at night in my opinion – and I’m talking about Brussels here,” the TikToker shared.
“And many of the Belgian cities are pretty ugly as well. Grey and depressive, especially in winter.”
Although Luca described Belgium as one of the ‘unsafe’ places he’s visited, another traveler and content creator, Drew Binsky, who has been to every country on Earth, cited Chad as the most frightening place he encountered.
Binsky recalled: “Back in 2018, I spent time in N’Djamena, Chad’s capital, and largest city.”
“Never in my life have I been more scared, threatened, or attacked (both verbally and physically) than I was in that hot, dusty, and beaten-down, deserted city.”
