Top 31 dangerous travel destinations Californians should avoid this summer

Now that we're in June, it feels like summer is finally upon us, which means that vacation you've been planning is just around the corner.

But you might want to reassess your travel plans.

Warning: Californians shouldn't visit these 31 places this year

If you think about it, it's odd that people who live in California would want or need to go anywhere else for vacation. Last year, about 270 million people visited the Golden State because it's the perfect place to vacation. We have beaches, scenic cities, majestic mountains, and a variety of other destinations.

Still, we look elsewhere for summer travel destinations. But the world is a dangerous place, and even beautiful places should be avoided. These 19 places are Travel ban list Twelve others say to “reconsider travel” or “exercise increased caution.”

Many of the places on this list are no surprises, with countries classified as “other” by their governments not on the list. Areas around China, Mexico, and Israel have a mix of restrictions and travel suggestions.

If a country is currently in the middle of a major war, it's not a good place to vacation. A country that has a reputation for rampant kidnappings of tourists and civil unrest is also not a good place to vacation.

If you're not comfortable traveling out of state, take a day trip and visit one of these best places for brunch.
