#LeastFavoriteState #USStateToAvoid #NeverVisitState
When it comes to travel destinations, everyone has their preferences. Some people dream of exploring every corner of the United States, while others have a certain state they would never step foot in. So, what’s the one US state you absolutely will never visit and why?
Well, there are a variety of reasons why someone might have a least favorite state, ranging from personal experiences to cultural differences. Let’s delve into some of the most common reasons why people choose to avoid visiting certain states in the US.

## Unforgettable Bad Experience
One of the most common reasons why someone might never want to visit a particular state is because of a bad experience they had there in the past. This could range from encountering unfriendly locals to having a negative interaction with law enforcement.
**Example:** One traveler might have had their car broken into while visiting California, leading them to vow to never step foot in the state again.
## Cultural or Political Differences
Another reason someone might choose to avoid a specific state is due to cultural or political differences. Every state in the US has its unique culture and political landscape, and some people might find that certain states don’t align with their own beliefs and values.
**Example:** A person who values gun control might choose to avoid states with lax gun laws, such as Texas or Arizona.
## Safety Concerns
Safety is another important factor that can influence someone’s decision to avoid visiting a particular state. Whether it’s due to high crime rates or natural disasters, some states might be deemed too risky for some travelers.
**Example:** Florida’s frequent hurricanes and alligator-infested waters might deter some visitors from taking a trip to the Sunshine State.
## Lack of Interest
Sometimes, people simply have no interest in visiting certain states. Whether it’s due to a lack of notable attractions or a perception that the state is boring, some travelers might prefer to spend their time and money exploring more exciting destinations.
**Example:** North Dakota’s vast, flat landscapes might not appeal to someone who prefers mountainous terrain or bustling city life.

In conclusion, there are many reasons why someone might have a least favorite state in the US that they would never visit. Whether it’s due to a negative experience, cultural differences, safety concerns, or simply a lack of interest, everyone has their own reasons for avoiding certain states. Ultimately, the beauty of travel lies in the diversity of destinations available, allowing each individual to choose where they want to explore based on their own preferences and experiences.
Vermont, because it is too good for me :’)
Alaska. It’s just really far out of the way.
I can’t see any reason I’d go back to Oklahoma unless I’m driving through to go somewhere else
Every state has something to offer. No state has such irredeemable qualities that it should make you not want to even step foot in it. States aren’t thaaaatttt different from one another.
Anyways, my answer would be Indiana.
I’ll be deep in the cold cold ground before I ever recognize Missouri
East Virginia. Can’t even find it on a map
Some of the smartest people I have met were from Alabama. Some of the dumbest people I have met were in Alabama.
Probably Hawaii because I’m poor
While I’m sure it’s a fine place, I have yet to see any reason for me to go to North Dakota. Too far to go, nothing of interest (that I’m aware of) when you get there.
I’ve got warrants in AZ. So, AZ.
Well, I’ve been to 47 and will visit the other 3 at some point.
But I have no real desire to ever go back to Mississippi or Alabama. If I have to drive across them, okay, but that’s it.
West Virginia.
Drove through there ONCE and was literally given an unironic “you ain’t from around here, are ya boy?” by someone in realtree camo hanging out at a gas station on the interstate. I am a large bearded white male who was driving a 4WD F-150.
California. I believe they have a warrant for my arrest.
Edit: murder. JK, it was just a speeding ticket a long time ago. I’m hoping there’s a statute of limitations on it…
Never say never, but Hawaii. Terrified of flying.
I still have seen no evidence that North Dakota actually exists
I lived in Alabama for 10 years. Never again. I just have so many bad memories connected to my time there.
Once I’m out of Florida I’m never going back
“Imagine being magically whisked away to…Delaware….Hi, I’m in Delaware”
Edit: after seeing so many replies this morning. ok, “we’re really glad you all could make it, we never realized we had so many friends who believed in this concert idea, when we first had this idea of putting on this shindig we didnt know anyone would come, but look, youre all here, pitching in, i promised myself i wouldn’t cry…PARTY ON”
I refuse to answer because this seems like the most surefire way to end up with a job in whichever state I name…
I’m from Idaho. It’s beautiful (for the most part) but I don’t ever need to see it again.
Culture there is like a time capsule. Want a reminder of what everyone was doing culturally five years ago..? Visit Idaho. Want a reminder of what everyone was doing politically fifty years ago..? Yep.
Truck driver here. I’ve been to all lower 48 states for work. Indisputably it’s Mississippi. There’s nothing redeeming about the entire state. Other red states have their own charm, culture, or geography. Mississippi has nothing but politicians who’ve failed their people and crumbling infrastructure.
Trauma dumping but my brother froze to death in Colorado so it’s on my shit list
Maine, because all the creepy stuff Stephen King writes about happens up there.
Gary, Indiana left an impression on me.
Mississippi because Mississippi.
Mississippi, because I have no desire to visit a state that is dead last in every quality of life metric.
Jersey always gets a bad rap from Newark airport. Its nickname is the garden state. It’s mostly farms, Forrest’s and hills when you get away from the parts that abuts manhattan.
If I ever have to step foot in Oklahoma again, I’ll be pissed. Racist ass pieces of shits here. I have to warn my own troops about places and towns. One of the city council members got outed as part of the KKK. I’m Inupiaq but get confused as a hispanic and fuck. I hate these people. City official was telling me how much he hates gays. I am gay. Heard from another person that he wouldn’t participate in the parade if the LGBT were in it as he’d want to run them over.
I stopped going to the city meetings. I get having good public relations between the city and the military base, but I don’t feel safe attending there anymore as I’m always attending by myself. If there’s an emergency response that needs to happen? Fine, gotta focus on the response. But I don’t care enough about the training or the networking more than my own well-being or my troops. Wearing the uniform keeps me somewhat safe, but what about when I’m not? How about if I never had put on the uniform at all? Fuck you Oklahomans that are bigoted pieces of shits.
I will never want to even be near Idaho. About 10 years ago a friend (white male) and I (black male) embarked on a road trip to the Midwest from California for a friends wedding. We were in Idaho all of 15 minutes when we were pulled over by their hwy patrol. They administered a “sobriety” test by having us tilt our heads back with our eyes closed. They claimed that eye movements indicated we had been using drugs. With no further evidence I was charged with a dui and amphetamine use, even though I’ve never used drugs. They searched our car and found nothing but claimed I was admitting guilt by how I was STANDING w/ my hands together. I spent a year in their county jail fighting the case. When going to arraignment their DA suggested my bail be set at 50k, I could’ve easily made bail but the judge set my bail for 500k. My friend spent 3 months in custody even though they found weed in his bag and he had an extensive criminal record. His mother was an attorney in his home state and she hired him the best lawyer in the area we were in. My family couldn’t afford a lawyer so my friend gave me all of his notes from his lawyer to give to my public defender so we would be given the same level of legal representation. My public defender refused to do anything I asked, so while my friend was going home I was being held. I had never been in any trouble with the legal system. Not until my family was able to come up with 15k to pay the same lawyer my friend had was I able to get proper representation and gain my freedom. Prior to that I spent every day being threatened by Latino gang members and white “supremacists” as the only black personal in my pod. I was released to return in 5 months for sentencing. When I returned and had to spend a couple days in Idaho I was terrified to even leave my hotel for anything as I didn’t want to be attacked by the racist residents of the town nor get harassed by the police. FUCK IDAHO
