As a black woman, you couldn't pay me to go to China! 🗣

Being black is like playing Tetris 😭💔

Thank you for this. I am a black woman that likes to travel solo and I have no desire to ever visit any of these countries alone or with a group. I do not go where i am not wanted or celebrated. There are 195 countries in the world so I have plenty of others to choose from. Thanks!

I actually had one of my best travel experiences in Italy. I stayed in a boutique hotel in Trastevere (a local neighborhood) while I was on vacation in Rome. One day, I returned to the hotel from a long day of sightseeing and went to the hotel restaurant to dine in before bed. The restaurant was packed with locals-it seems that particular night the restaurant becomes a neighborhood dining place. The server told me it would a long wait for a table and at least an hour before I could get room service. I left the restaurant and walked by the front desk heading to my room to order. The concierge (who always greeted me) wished me a good evening and asked was I enjoying my stay in Italy. I was and I mentioned I wished I could have had dinner in the restaurant but it was full and I told him what the server said. He immediately called the head server and told him to seat me. The server told him there were no tables left (that was true) and the concierge looked at him sternly and said "make a table available!". What happened next was crazy...They got a table from storage and set it up in a prime spot, dressed the table to the nines and gave me my own private server. The restaurant customers were looking at me like I was a VIP or something. I have never had that experience anywhere I have traveled and I have traveled through several countries. I stayed in Rome for two weeks and luckily, I had zero negatives experiences.

People fear that they don’t understand. Ignorance is global.

You hit the nail on the head with China. I went in '96 and refuse to ever go back. Some people were nice but the ones that were rude went overboard to make me feel unwelcomed.

Thank you for this!.Much appreciated!.✌️😎

Why anyone would want to go to India or China for any reason is beyond me.

I live in Casablanca part of the year. My husband is Moroccan. I can 100% attest to Morocco being one of the most racist places I've ever been. I know that I am Black when I am in Morocco. I don't just feel like a person. I am a Black person. They treat me poorly until they find out I am American and then they want to try and knock me down a peg by demanding to know my original African country because they also don't believe that Black people are American. They also do not call theirselves African. They only refer to Black Africans as Africans. It's bizarre. I have been called the "N" word & their version of the "N" word, "3zia"; pronounced Ehzia (for a woman & Ehzi for a man) in an American accent. They do not respect women. Even women who are covered up. I have a friend who is a Niqabi; she talks about getting harassed when she goes outside sometimes. Mind you all you can see is her eyes when she goes outside because of her Niqab. I was coming from the Hammam (bathhouse) and I was wearing a hijab to project my wet hair from the elements and got harassed. It genuinely does not matter what you are wearing. There is just no respect for anyone except their own mothers maybe. I was getting out of a Taxi and a man asked me "Combien" which means "How Much" in French. You can guess what he was asking me. I told him to ask him momma. Don't even get me started on the men in Marrakech. And there is no reasoning with them. They are ignorant. This experience has made me realize that I can not live in a homogeneous country.

So informative! Thank you!

Thank you for this!! Good looking out!🙏🏽

Just left Italy last month and we believe we experienced racism about three times.

Been to quite a few countries solo and I have to admit Egypt has the potential to be very aggressive. I went to Egypt as part of my group tour with a boyfriend at the time. Even when I was with him, the Egyptians would joke that they want to smell my money (when we went to the bazaar). I didn’t feel any discrimination but I can agree they are very pushy there. Egypt is a very poor country despite being the mecca of civilization. If I were a solo traveler I would have been annoyed. Also bring your own toilet paper when you go because that country DOES NOT PLAY when it comes to toilet paper. I even had to create a hoarding situation because they were TIGHT with toilet paper.

Great info thanks fr the heads up💕

Thank you gor sharing! 💕

Thank you for this!

I travelled to Morocco with 4 friends and we got harassed a little. I definitely wouldn’t travel there alone.

Great content but not surprised by any of the countries mentioned

I agree with the list, although I must say that I have not experienced negative actions in Italy but rather in the Italian neighborhoods here in New York City.
