What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?
To be honest, this is not a question I’ve ever seriously considered. I’ve had the privilege of working and traveling across continents from the scorching deserts of Saudi Arabia to the frozen silence of the Arctic Circle, from bustling cities in Japan to the untouched corners of Africa. And yet, even after all these journeys, I still feel that I’ve only scratched the surface of what the world has to offer.
There are still so many places I’d like to see. I don’t see the world through the lens of rejection “where would I never go” but rather through curiosity: where can I still go? Every region holds a story, every culture teaches something, and every encounter can leave a lasting impression.
Of course, I wouldn’t voluntarily walk into war zones or areas devastated by conflict or oppression not out of fear, but out of respect for the people who are suffering there. I believe traveling should be about connection, not intrusion.
Maybe that’s my answer, after all. I would never want to visit a place where humanity has been forgotten. A place without kindness, without the freedom to speak, live, or dream. But as long as there’s a spark of life, culture, and humanity, I’ll keep my passport ready.
The world still has a lot to show me and I’m not done exploring yet.
