Top situations / places in America that foreigners should avoid at all cost.

According to Reddit, these are places in America should foreigners avoid at all cost.

  1. Before you explore the wilds of Colorado, learn about wilderness survival and safety. Many tourists lose their lives on our mountains and in Rocky Mountain National Park. Do your research! Altitude is no joke.
  2. I once tried to save money by taking a greyhound bus ride. It was a big mistake.
  3. Avoid Death Valley in the summer, especially if you’re a confident hiker from a cooler climate.
  4. The hot springs in Yellowstone are not hot tubs. Do not swim in them. They are acidic and scalding.
  5. If you see a Rainforest Cafe and a Wax Museum on the same street, you’re in a tourist trap.
  6. Stay away from the Kensington area of North Philadelphia.
  7. Don’t wander around Downtown Los Angeles at night. When the streets get quiet and the locals go home, it’s time for you to go back to your hotel or a more lively spot.
  8. Skip Pueblo Colorado. Pueblo, Colorado is considered one of the most dangerous cities in the United States, with a per-capita homicide rate that is the highest in Colorado. Violence in the Pueblo metro area is being driven by gang activity and firearms. Police blame a gang war that sometimes has spread into parts of the city that are typically peaceful.
  9. Be careful in the deserts of the southwest, unless you’re prepared and aware of the risks. Sometimes we get visitors from Europe–often from Germany for some reason–who go hiking at the worst times of the day without enough water. Some of them die. It’s very easy to get dehydrated and possibly die even in “safe” areas, and the danger can sneak up on you.
  10. Don’t bother with the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That place is dirty and grimy and the people and street performers there are sketchy and pushy.

Last thing to note, don’t trespass on private property. It’s taken seriously in the US, and you could get shot if you’re on the wrong person’s land. We don’t have the right to roam. And we do have the right to bear arms. Some states even have “castle laws” that allow shooting trespassers in “self defense”.
