A man who have traveled round the world and visited a whopping 190 countries has revealed which he finds to be the most 'annoying'.

It's said that most children will visit at least ten countries before adulthood, with half of them having been abroad by their fifth birthday, says Admiral.

But Luca Pferdmenges, who started traveling at the age of 15, has visited 190 countries and he's only 22.

Luca has been to places such as the Maldives and Mauritius, to Brazil and Belgium, meaning he'll likely have quite an impressive collection of Starbucks 'You Are Here' mugs.

As you'd expect, Luca has some favorite countries that he's visited.

Discussing some of the countries he likes but are often 'overlooked' by fellow travelers, he said: "Uzbekistan and some others in Central Asia, Baltic countries, Myanmar, North Macedonia, Bhutan, Montenegro, and most countries in Latin America."

"People usually forget they exist," he went on to tell Mail Online. "But they’re often way more exciting and more affordable than the 'classic tourism destinations'.

"Especially hidden gems like Bhutan and Myanmar. They are really unknown, but some of the prettiest countries in the world."

As for his personal favorites, Luca named Mexico, Brazil, Israel, Spain, Bhutan, UK, UAE, Portugal, and Austria (in no particular order).

And the most 'annoying' country, according to Luca? Egypt.

"Egypt is the most annoying country for tourists in my opinion," he said. "Egypt, France, Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, most of the Caribbean Lesser Antilles.

"They’re often very touristy and often don’t have much besides pretty beaches.

"The Caribbean is super-overrated, the Lesser Antilles, at least."

While he seemingly doesn't have much time for Egypt, it's actually Belgium that's Luca's least favorite place.

"It just feels super unsafe at night in my opinion - and I'm talking about Brussels here," the TikToker explained.

"And many of the Belgian cities are pretty ugly as well. Grey and depressive, especially in winter."

While Luca said Beligum was one of the most 'unsafe' places he's been too, fellow traveler and content creator Drew Binsky - who has visited every country on Earth - said Chad was the scariest place he'd been to.

Speaking to UNILAD, Binsky said: "Back in 2018, I spent time in N'Djamena, Chad's capital, and largest city.

"Never in my life have I been more scared, threatened, or attacked (both verbally and physically) than I was in that hot, dusty, and beaten-down, deserted city."
