DO NOT VISIT this country...

Have you ever noticed how some people are so keen to share their bad experience and tell you not to visit somewhere. I recently saw a Facebook post from a person who was advising everyone not to go tot he Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) - I find it so closed minded. Every country has something to offer - even the smallest things.

PLUS everyone has different aims with travel, different likes, and even in the different phases of their life, things may appeal at times and not at others. Who is someone to tell you not to do something, not to experience something, not to see something for yourself???

My advice - GO!! Go and experience it for yourself, go and see it for yourself and then share your amazing experience with others, or highlight where your trip could have been better. When discussing your travels use phrases such as "I enjoyed...", "This experience was expensive, but I found it to be worthwhile", "I didn't enjoy this for whatever reason" but never "Don't do this - it wasn't worth it" Just because I may not have liked it, or just because I may have loved it, doesn't mean the next person will have the same opinion if they experienced it.

GO!! AND EXPERIENCE FOR YOURSELF!! YOU DESERVE TO FORM YOUR OWN OPINION!!
