10 Places That Can Shouldn’t Be On Anyone’s Bucket List

Traveling brings valuable experiences but be ready for possible hurdles. A user queried the community, "What's the ugliest place you've visited?" Here are top replies.

WEST MEMPHIS, ARKANSAS

"I visited Memphis, made a wrong turn into Arkansas, and it was eerily desolate. It felt like a horror movie set, so we turned around fast. No idea what happened to a car with a shattered windshield and body bag we saw."

ODESSA, TEXAS

“Odessa, Texas. The amount of trash and litter along the roadways and in town was awful.”

NORTH SULAWESI, INDONESIA

"North Sulawesi, Indonesia is filled with garbage everywhere, even deep in the jungles, raising questions about who hiked miles carrying trash."

PHILIPPINES CITIES

"Philippines' jungles are beautiful but vanishing quickly. It's hurtful to discuss the trash and extreme poverty, yet Filipinos keep electing leaders that maintain this state."

DHAKA, BANGLADESH

“Dhaka, Bangladesh: Incredibly crowded, smells like a sewer and littered streets. A stark contrast to the stunning countryside.”

NOUAKCHOTT, MAURITANIA

"Nouakchott, Mauritania; a poorly planned capital with dirt roads, pervasive sand, loose goats, street camels, and omnipresent beggars. No notable architecture, but a short drive reveals stunning beaches and sand dunes."

OREGON

"On a trip to Oregon, I stopped for gas in a reservation town in Wyoming. Drugs had ravaged the town; broken windows, burnt buildings, security-barred gas stations. The desperate, tragic atmosphere drove me to seek gas elsewhere."

NIAGARA FALLS

Niagara Falls, NY. A huge contrast to the Canadian Niagara Falls immediately over the river. So many abandoned buildings on the NY side, and it’s not really developed.

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILLINOIS

"Riding cross-country, I stopped for gas in St. Louis. Took a wrong turn into East St. Louis. A sight of a burned-out police car made me leave immediately."

CAIRO, EGYPT

“Cairo, Egypt. I wouldn’t trade the experiences from there, but the city itself is a massive trash heap with questionable building codes.”

UTICA, NEW YORK

"As a former Utica delivery driver, I was astounded by the lack of plowing on side streets. Despite heavy lake effect snow, they just drive over it, allowing it to form 2 feet of ice."

ARAPO, PERU

"Arapo Peru" Crafts and shoes made from old tires, air thick with smoke. The brief train stop ended with items stolen from the door-side seats.

GORAKHPUR, INDIA

"Worst place ever visited. Denied service, followed by guys, spent the night with rats on a train platform. Very unwelcome. The stares were deadly."

GOLDEN CORRAL

“Dirty tables. Dirty bathrooms. Kids are sticking their fingers into everything at the dessert buffet. Sketchy food with a chemical aftertaste.”

HOBBS, NEW MEXICO

“Hobbs, New Mexico. It was as if a rotten crotch was a small town.”  “I lived there for 8 years for like 4 summers I had migraines because, of the air quality”
