A seasoned globetrotter has shared a list of cities and countries she would ‘never’ revisit – including one notably luxurious hotspot she described as ‘soulless and dystopian.’
The avid traveller, known only as Eva on TikTok, has visited dozens of bucket-list destinations across the globe, including Versailles, Lake Como, Crete and New York City.
But in a slideshow post uploaded to her page @travelgirl423 in April, revealed six standout locations that left her feeling deflated as a tourist – citing ‘scams’ and ‘constant’ harassment, high costs and ‘dark energy’ as some of the driving factors.
The first surprising hotspot Eva highlighted as a no-go – despite it welcoming more than a million tourists every month – is the Canary Islands, as there’s ‘nothing to do’ and ‘the food wasn’t great.’
She added: ‘The beaches are gorgeous, but it got boring real quick. I wouldn’t recommend going for more than three days.’
The second destination Eva vowed to never return to is Los Angeles, due to the iconic city being ‘a lot more grim’ than she’d expected.
Though she insisted there were lots of attractions and activities, the content creator couldn’t shake off the feeling that a ‘dark energy’ was present, which had left her feeling ‘uneasy’ during her trip.
She also described the landmark city as ‘super expensive’ and difficult to navigate for tourists who are unable to drive.

Eva shared that she has no intention of returning to the Egyptian city of Hurghada due to the ‘constant harassment’ she experienced from local men
Next, Eva shared that she has no intention of returning to the Egyptian city of Hurghada due to the ‘constant harassment’ she experienced from local men.
She advised: ‘It was VERY overstimulating and I wouldn’t recommend it for women unless you’re travelling in a big group or hire a tour guide.’
The fourth destination that felt especially lacklustre to Eva was Dubai, a UAE nation widely known for its awe-inspiring architecture and luxury shopping.
However, according to the travel enthusiast, the popular holiday spot felt ‘soulless’ and ‘dystopian’, and she compared it to a ‘simulation with dark energy’.
The fifth location Eva highlighted is Bali.
She first described it as ‘gorgeous’ with ‘lovely’ locals, though the jetsetter admitted she had been put off returning due to a ‘bad experience of Bali belly’.
Finally, the travel fanatic declared she would never revisit the Indian capital of New Delhi as she found it ‘really hard’ navigate the city while facing ‘a lot of harassment from the men’.

One person quipped, ‘Literally nothing to do in the Canary Islands? Good god,’ while another added, ‘I’ve been to all of the Canary Islands over the years and never found one of them to be boring.’
However, one unenthused former visitor hit back: ‘I went to Gran Canaria and I agree it was a very boring holiday and the food was bad lol, really beautiful island though.’
Meanwhile, one person commented: ‘Anyone that dislikes Dubai went to Dubai on a budget. If you want to enjoy the real Dubai you have to go there with money,’ while another said, ‘I’ve been to egypt 6 times, 4 to hurghada, never been harrassed at all.’
One former visitor to Los Angeles wrote: ‘Yes I felt the dark energy of LA too.’
Finally, one person wrote: ‘I think you should be grateful that you have had the chance to visit all of those place, some people can not even afford a weekend away.’
