12 Countries to Avoid on Your Travel Bucket List in 2025 (6 of 7)

10. Haiti

Haiti has had security issues and political instability for decades, but ever since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse, the country has descended into complete anarchy. As a result of gang violence, economic instability, and widespread reports of kidnappings, not even the most adventurous YouTube travel vloggers dare to visit the country. So why would you?

11. Israel

Travel to Israel currently faces significant security challenges. Frequent clashes, terrorist attacks, and military operations create an unpredictable environment, especially in the Palestinian areas. Ongoing regional tensions and the unpredictable security situation warrant a cautious approach. In addition, lengthy, stressful interrogations at the airport and even reports of strip searches should make you question whether you really want to endure all of that.
