Why? Your comment is baffling to me. Why are these countries not worthy of visiting?

It is very hard for us to come in the US. Things are better and safer here. When I got here I discovered that people travel to poor and unsafe countries for fun.

Things are better, may be right. But safer? With guns?

Guns don't kill very many Americans, compared to other causes. Even including guns wielded by police, guns wielded in warfare, accidents, &c.

I see your point now. I guess most travelers just want to learn more about the people and cultures of other places.

One of the common criticisms of US citizens is that they are ignorant of the world outside of US borders. I would argue there's no better way to learn about the world than to travel to places outside of your comfort zone.

Do people really travel outside of their comfort zone?
