For most guys, you only have so much travel time throughout your year.

Even for those who are location independent, it's extremely rare to find someone who's either visited every country on Earth, or is committed down that path (props to Naughty Nomad).

With the great data sheets we're seeing on travelling, it's becoming pretty accepted that the average RVF member will wanna hit Colombia, the DR, Thailand, Philippines, Poland, etc. at some point in their journeys.

But with each country you chose, your effectively making a choice to disqualify others for various reasons.

So what countries will be left off your list?

And why?

[germanico]

IF I had to, I would drop any country in the new world. There are thousands upon thousands of years of history and culture waiting in the old world. Sure, one could bring the Incas, Mayans and Aztecs to the discussion, but thats just 3 civilizations against hundreds.

[velvet]

I dont see the point of visiting every country just to say you visited all the world. I am not attracted by arabic countries as women have not enough freedom there.
India and central asia for the same reason. Then africa and bolivia dont really attract me for women.
After travelling a lot my favourite continent remains europe but it i changing.

[Sparks123]

Most of the Middle East (too sexually conservative), most of Africa (too undeveloped), I'd throw in Central Asia and India in as well.

[mikeymike]

Too late now as I've experienced some of it but given what my preferences are in women and given my experiences in the couple places I've visited I could have bypassed all the countries of Southeast Asia and not lost any sleep. Luckily I don't have to make the choice but I don't think I'll hit that region again till i've been near everywhere else on the list.

[Chaos]

I will never set my foot in USA, Israel and France.

I'd throw in Australia aswell, but I've alredy been there.
Regrets though..

[Flint]

Australia is the least interesting place for me. I know some Australians and they are cool people but there is nothing about their country that could justify the long and expensive journey. I don't see the point of literally flying from one edge of the world to the other and find basically the same Western culture that you can have in the US and in Europe as well. Granted there are some natural wonders there but in its entirety the country seems even for ecotourism rather dull and undiverse given its size. If I would crave for an Australian girl, I could get her elsewhere easily.

I wish more people thought like you.

I'd drop Venezuela. Colombians seemed much nicer and it's right next door. I didn't have much fun in Venezuela.

USA and France both large countries with tons of variety in terms of activities, opportunities, etc.

haha, I know my opinion is conflicting with the majority of the forum but you have to play to your strengths and while I did well in Singapore by and large Southeast Asia and I are not made for each other. Everything I bring to the table is the opposite of what the women there want and with my not being overwhelmed by them either, it just makes sense to focus on other areas of the world I want to see. Let you guys who do well there have the run of the place without excess foreigners cramping your style.

[loveblondes]

It wouldnt hurt for me skipping whole africa and asia, for many reasons.. Dont like the look of their women at all, too conservative and sexually repressed areas which translate into a big sausagefest.

In fact I could be fine skipping all countries in the world except Northern/central/eastern europe (except UK and Ireland)

Anglosphere women are several ladders down on quality compared to other white women, play games all the time, hard too game, too much effort to put for having not exactly what you want, not femenine at all, wear flip flop all the time. And southern european women don't turn me on that much since they arent enough exotic for what I'm used, a lot of women in south america dont look much different from them.

[LeBeau]

Personally, some of the smaller/lesser hyped South American countries could get dropped.

For example, I'd wanna guarantee hitting Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, and Chile before I bothered with places like Bolivia, Suriname, Ecuador, and Guyana.


Strangely enough, I feel like I'd want to hit every single one of the "Stans" though, I find that region's environment and history really interesting.

Anyone know about someone ever doing a coffee table style photography/history book of just those spots?

I could see that being a fun project:

[Sargon of Akkad]

I also see no real need to visit every country in the world, and I only intend to visit places that already interest me. So if I had to decide which countries NOT to visit, I'd just choose anything not on this list:

Places I plan to visit in the coming years...

- Taiwan
- South Korea
- Thailand
- Singapore
- Cambodia
- Malaysia
- Vietnam
- Laos
- Mongolia (preferably during the summer)
- Southern China (so far, only been up north)
- Philippines


Countries/regions I have no specific intentions of visiting...

- FSU/Eastern Europe/Central Asia: no interest in the culture, language(s) or people
- Middle East: conservative culture, promiscuity is discouraged, no particular preference for ME women
- South America: similar to FSU; no particular interest in Spanish/Latin or Native American culture; I might enjoy a visit but I have no active interest.
- Africa: similar to the above; too little active interest
- Australia/Oceania
- Anglo-America

It should be mentioned that I have no particular aversion to these places, just that there's no active interest to visit them.

As you can see, most of my destinations are in East Asia. Right now, that is the part of world that appeals the most to me, for a variety of reasons, including language, culture, history, food and women.

In terms of East Asia in general, I think I'd drop Myanmar, Bhutan, East Timur, Brunei, or Papua New Guinea (which I know is often not counted as part of Asia)

[big poppa]

I'm most interested in Asia and South America. Love Asian girls and I'm trying to learn Spanish.


I do want to visit every continent at some point, but I could probably live without visiting
- 95% of Africa
- 95% of Middle East
- The 'stans'
- Eastern Europe/Russia

Will probably change as I get older.

[Suits]

No interest in the following:

India
Bangladesh
Mexico
Middle East

Sure. But it doesn't change the fact that those three countries are the least attractive to me. The reasons are:

USA- . Firstly I have no interest of traveling in countries which have Western culture.
Secondly, because I've met too many retarded Americans on my travels who annoyed the hell out of me with their constant talking, bragging and whining. (No hate)
I've met a lot of cool Yanks also, but after meeting so many retarded ones it's clear to me that I have absolutley no interest of visit the USA. Not for the sake of traveling. Business is a different thing.

Israel. Same thing here. On my travels of all the people I've met, Israelis are the most arrogant, rudest motherfuckers I've met in my life. They have zero respect for other people than their own. This happened enough of times to make sure that Israel is perhaps the most unattractive country on my list.(no hate, just my experience)
In the end, it's really only about the people.

France. Same thing here again. I've met too many arrogant, snobby people who believe France is the epicentre of mother earth. Hell' even my dear sister had a French übersnob for boyfriend during a decade. France has nothing attractive to me.
Simple things. But I must add and admit that I once was very close to buy tickets to a few QOTSA concerts in Paris.

But then I bitchslapped myself in the face and realized that my money is much better spent somewhere else.

[Clunge]

I wouldn't go to

All of North Africa, the Middle East(Excluding Israel and Iran)
Phillipines (Substandard Asian girls)
Turkey
Central America(Dangerous)

If I had to stay in one country my whole life it would probably be Australia, Thailand or Brazil

[Agastya]

Nowhere. Before I die, I honestly want to see as many places as I possibly can. I don't care if places like Vanuatu, Kamchatka, or the Falkland Islands might be bad for women--I think it would be awesome to visit those places, not so that you can brag about "seeing the world", but because I have a deep curiosity for what those places are like. I would never in a million years choose Papua New Guinea as a place to game, but as a place to hike around and observe wildlife? I'd go there in a second. Trying to spit game in Pakistan would likely end in my death, but I want to go there nonetheless, to see the Hindu Kush, eat their delicious ass food, and just experience the vibe of the place.

To answer the OP's question, though, I'd probably write Bangladesh off my list. India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Pakistan at least have many famous historical sights, which Bangladesh really. It's also supposed to be horrendously crowded and unbelievably filthy. I've seen Indian cities, and, from what I hear, their Bangladeshi counterparts are even worse. I also have no desire to visit a country like Iraq, at least until it can clean its act up.

I agree that Americans can be a whiny bunch. There are a lot of cool, intelligent, interesting Americans. There are many more choads.

It's sad to grow up in such a country, knowing that there are better places, places where you'd be happier. At least, the temptation is to have such dreams - that the grass is greener.

Anyway. I agree with Roosh that Spanish is a very useful language to learn for banging women. Latin America is just a cool place generally as well.

In Central America (Nicaragua, Honduras, etc.) people do not read for pleasure. I found this incredibly depressing, and just sad. Ask a person in El Salvador the last book they read. If it's not the bible, it might take them a while to respond...

That said, I have no interest in visiting Argentina or Chile, because while I'm sure they are beautiful countries, I prefer the more down-to-earth vibes of Colombia, Peru, or Mexico.

I'm a man drawn to extremes. I also like to travel, and I've not been to Africa. Putting this all together, I have a strong desire to visit one of the most fucked up places in the world, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It's so fucked up that I simply have to go. This is an extreme place for humanity to exist. The North Kiva region in particular.

Anyone on this forum who takes their protected life for granted should watch a documentary called Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders (2008). Great film.

[Beyond Borders]

I can't think of anywhere I wouldn't want to go see, but I'm pretty fascinated by different cultures. For me, everywhere is worth one look. Even if it's a fucked up place for one reason or another, it's still a learning experience, and a lack of easy sex is definitely not going to be something that dissuades me from a visit.

Don't have any specific goals to try and see it all though. With my slow pace, it would probably be an impossibility, and I wouldn't want to ruin my experience by rushing. Not to mention the fact that a lot of countries have quite a few different cultures and cuisines within their borders alone.

[tiggaling]

Central America.

Caribbean.

Most of the Pacific Islands. (That I haven't been to)

Bangladesh and Pakistan.

Most of West Africa.

[polymath]

Eastern Europe, Pakistan, China, Argentina, and the Nordic ones. I don't really know why, they just don't interest me.

I like finding places where the women are charming but confusing, and the cultural rules are new to me. Socializing is more fun when it is a challenge. And you get better by challenging yourself.

Alternatively, give me the lowest 25% of countries in terms of wealth, and I will be happy. Poor countries are often interesting ones.
