Americans Can Easily Travel Almost Anywhere – Except Here

Even during times of extreme measures, such as statewide lockdowns, Americans love to travel. Whether it be for business or pleasure, the idea of a quick, or even not-so-quick escape can be both alluring and even necessary.

But the truth is that there are certain countries where Americans simply aren’t welcome. Some of the countries that aren’t particularly fond of Americans might surprise you, but regardless of whether the information catches you off-guard or not, treating this information with a modicum of scrutiny would probably be a wise choice…

North Korea

The North Korean Government isn’t what you’d call friendly to Americans. Government officials are authorized to perform random searches on USB drives, laptops, smartphones, and other assorted electronic devices, as certain content is prohibited from being on these devices when one is in the country.

Any content that criticizes the government of North Korea is considered a violation, and as a result, Americans who bring offensive content into the country may end up being subjected to hard labor or other legal repercussions, such as being detained in the country, paying expensive fees, or even serving jail time.

Americans who do enter the country are under constant scrutiny. Something as simple as snapping pictures can have deadly consequences. In addition, even if visitors to North Korea are with a tour group, they may be held in the country without having done anything ostensibly wrong. In short, think twice before attempting to visit this country.
