Top 10 Must-Avoid Travel Destinations

Here's a list done by Costas Christ, Editor of Global Travel, for Peter Greenberg's Don't Go There! book. Here we go, brace yourself:

1) Cancun, Mexico
2) Santorini, Greece
3) Orlando, Florida
4) Kuta, Bali
5) Dubai, UAE
6) Myanmar
7) Antartica
8) China Beach, Vietnam
9) Costa Rica's Over-developed Coast
10) Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

Of course, the editor gave a brief justification on why these were chosen. Read more about it at NatGeo website.

There is a new Peterman's Eye Travel community where you can share pictures, stories, and tips with fellow travelers...thought I'd share! You can definitely find the best places to go!

can only verify on Kuta@Bali.. Seriously, M'sia is million times better. Our beach & sea is trilion times cantik. The only excitement there would be drunk people by the roadside pubs.. (which can also be found along heritage row in KL) SPA? the good one kat sini pun melambak.. The "uniqness" in Kuta yang hard to find in KL....babi guling!

Nana - bab guling? hehe.

It's recommended that we skip Kuta, but consider Ubud instead, "where a more balanced path embraces the local culture rather than conquers it" - kata NatGeo... not me :)
