For me: Cancun and Puerto Vallarta

I never understood why people are so crazy over them. You just stay in the all inclusive resort the entire vacation, youre stuck doing whatever activities are there in the resort, and you can never leave to explore the city because of how dangerous it is outside of the resort

I was bored out of my mind because all that vacation involved was staying in the resort relaxing, eating, doing whatever is there in the resort, and sleeping

You're supposed to vacation somewhere different from your usual. If you live in California, go to the snow.

The snow is unfortunately not happening for the time being since my kids are sensitive to the cold. I have to wait till theyre older.

After visiting the California coast line and previously vacationing in Hawaii, similar places like San Diego [laid back, beaches, etc] didn't seem to shake things up enough.

Another idea would be renting a cabin in the woods.

We actually want to do that in the future. Renting a cabin would be pretty awesome.

Puerto Rico and San Diego.

Both were nice, but not how people made them out to be.

I found Aspen to be underrated tho.

Puerto Rico

you'll never see a quarter of the good shit in pr as a tourist. I have some emotional scarring from the breakup, but staying with my almost-inlaws got me to check out all the good shit. The good alcapurria is off of roads that aren't on maps.

Rome is ass, ignoring historical value. 4/10 at most.

Likewise San Francisco, just too many people and litter.

I think the problem is I wasn't in a touristy area. I was there for work covering a sporting event. I was stuck in this shitty baseball stadium and surrounding area for a week. Almost got mobbed by a croud of shitheads who couldn't understand barriers and that you shouldn't go up to the media trucks and start stomping all over the fucking fiberoptic lines we had plugged in for the cameras.

I really hated Los Angeles. It just felt dirty and it took for fucking ever to get anywhere.

NYC on the other hand feels dirty but it's more like a grit that I kinda like and respect. Hard to describe.

I fucking love Rome but the Trevi Fountain specifically is nothing special. Really underwhelmed the first time visiting that. But then the rest of the city made up for it.

I've never been there, but the more research I did on Dubai, the more it just started to look like a generic western city's. Only to hot there for most of the year to enjoy anything outdoors other then the beach.

Probably Venice, and I only say that because I never went to any other "hyped" places (I've traveled a lot, just not to places I heard people hyping up). The main tourist canals did feel a lot like Disneyland... which is really dumb since I know this city is hundreds and hundreds of years old, but it was just so jam packed I was too focused on watching where I was going to enjoy whatever the city had to offer.

I did enjoy it though I think.

I second Venice.

It is cool to see but I would not recommend staying more than one day/night unless you have something special planned. Too much like a tourist trap/Disney. Usually you kind of expect a museum or specific thing to be the trap but with Venice it felt like the entire place and you couldnt escape it until you left. If you go to Paris or Rome you can kind of get an idea of what culture or life is like for people that live there. No such feeling with Venice. The place seems to exist to take money from tourists.

Cancun is great. I went there for my small wedding. It was or immediate family, our cousins, and basically a friend each. We all took over the pool and just chilled all week. The worst part is my wife got really sick for literally a day and at the time we had an insurance lap from getting married. So they took her to the best Cancun hospital and wanted 5 grand US just to get in and get a bed.

I said fuck that and we went to the public hospital. Straight shit hole with literal bodies of injured people littered everywhere. Probably because my wife is white they expedited her in. it was a lot easier since Im mexican. She stayed overnight and got released. Cost me 20 dollars us

long story short. You can easily travel out the resort Its the same as the US. Dont be in the bad areas asking for hard drugs or guns. People actually treat you really nice out there because they need/want your money

Yeah, I gotta go with Paris. The architecture was cool, and that's about it.

When I was abroad, we went from Ireland, to England, to France. The instructors on our itinerary had a meeting before we left the UK solely on watching out for pick-pickets, harassment/stalkers, and con artists, but not for the other countries. We thought it was kind of exaggerated, until we encountered all three of those things.

Mine is going to be a lot less exotic than the rest here, but screw it.

My wife and I just moved from California to Indiana. Within our first week of moving here 5 separate people told us about a donut place. Apparently people travel from out of state for their donuts.

They have some of the worst donuts I've ever had. I'd take Krispy Kreme donuts over these. It annoyed me so much that we went back a week later thinking maybe we just didn't get a good batch or something but no they were awful both times.

Ive hiked down to the bottom of the canyon and camped there. It was an amazing experience to me (despite how sore it gets) and very different from just hanging out at the rim or even going partway down.

It doesn't really have anything to offer except maybe for Bruges if you're into picturesque shit.
Brussels sucks. Antwerp sucks. Ghent sucks as well but the partying's pretty good there.
