Pferdmenges has been practically everywhere possible. It’s safe to say that he’s seen a lot, so his observations might be valuable tips for those considering their travel destinations. Which countries does he recommend, and which does he advise avoiding?
Among the countries that impressed him the most, he mentions a few: Mexico, Brazil, Israel, Spain, Bhutan, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Portugal, and Austria. While these are his top favorite places, he also appreciated some underrated destinations. He lamented the countries that don’t get much attention.
It’s surprising how unpopular countries like Montenegro and Slovenia are. These are some of the most beautiful (and cheapest) places in the world. And no one wants to visit them
- he said in the interview. He also highlighted countries like Uzbekistan, Myanmar, Bhutan, and most of those in Latin America.
People usually forget they exist, yet they’re often far more exciting and cheaper than 'classic' tourist destinations. Especially hidden gems like Bhutan and Myanmar. Few people know about them, but they’re some of the most beautiful places in the world.
Here’s where it gets controversial. Pferdmenges revealed that most of the countries he doesn’t recommend are the most well-known and visited by tourists. "The Maldives, Mauritius, the Seychelles, most of the islands in the Lesser Antilles. They’re heavily touristy, and often the only thing they have to offer are nice beaches" - he remarked. Egypt also came under fire:
I think it’s the most annoying country in the world
- he bluntly stated.
And What About European Countries?
It turns out that there is one European country that landed at the bottom of his recommended destinations. Some might be surprised to learn that it’s Belgium:
I feel very unsafe here, especially at night. And I’m talking about Brussels. Besides, many Belgian cities are just plain ugly. They’re gray and depressing, especially in winter
- he revealed.
On social media, there’s no shortage of criticism that Pferdmenges has wealthy parents, which is why he can afford such travels. The influencer responded to this accusation by explaining that his mom and dad have "ordinary" jobs, and he earns his own living by juggling. Because of this, he is often able to secure accommodation by staying with groups of jugglers.
