A man who has been to almost 200 countries has revealed which is the most “annoying.”
Luca Pferdmenges, from Germany, is only 22 years old and has already traveled to 190 countries.
He has gained over 2.9 million followers on TikTok from sharing his adventures with the internet, but one of his latest confessions has left social media users speechless.
Talking to the Daily Mail, Pferdmenges, AKA @thegermantravelguy, opened up about his travels, discussing which country – in his opinion – is the “most annoying” to travel to.

“Egypt, France, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, most of the Caribbean Lesser Antilles. They’re often very touristy and often don’t have much besides pretty beaches,” he said, referring to the most “overrated” countries he’s traveled to, but out of the lot, which one came out on top?
“Egypt is the most annoying country for tourists in my opinion,” he told the outlet.
“The Caribbean is super-overrated – the Lesser Antilles, at least,” he also added.
On the other hand, he praised a handful of other countries for being the most “underrated” including Uzbekistan and some others in Central Asia, Baltic countries, Myanmar, North Macedonia, Bhutan, Montenegro, and most countries in Latin America.
“People usually forget they exist, but they’re often way more exciting and more affordable than the ‘classic tourism destinations,'” he continued. “Especially hidden gems like Bhutan and Myanmar. They are really unknown, but some of the prettiest countries in the world.”
Myanmar is located in Southeast Asia bordering the People’s Republic of China on the North and North East, Laos on the East, Thailand on the South East, Bangladesh on the West, and India on the North West while Bhutan also resides in a similar area of South Asia, located in the eastern Himalayas, bordered by both India and China.
After all that traveling, you could say Pferdmenges is somewhat of an expert, offering some wise words to people who also want to embark on adventures across the globe.

When talking about dangerous places in Europe, a continent of which the 22-year-old has visited every single country, he said to be particularly wary of Belgium at night time.
“It just feels super unsafe at night in my opinion – and I’m talking about Brussels here. And many of the Belgian cities are pretty ugly as well. Grey and depressive, especially in winter,” he said, though other travelers seemingly love the area.
Other cities in the region that also made his dangerous list are Paris, London, and Frankfurt which he said “aren’t much better at night, either.”
With many more people wanting to head over to the continent and explore, Pferdmenges offered some advice, stating: “Don’t just go to France, Italy, Greece, and Spain. There are 40 other countries worth being explored.”

The TikToker is referring to countries such as Montenegro or Slovenia.
“It’s surprising how little recognition places such as Montenegro or Slovenia get. They are some of the most beautiful countries in the world – and cheap – but nobody visits them,” he added.
