Although technology has placed the world in our palms, there are paths we shouldn't dare tread. It is not because the residents are averse to visitors but the site poses a threat to your existence. If you are planning a trip worldwide, you should tick these ten locations off your bucket list.
10. Cite Soleil, Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Oh, Haiti! The 2010 earthquake that killed and rendered thousands homeless remains evergreen. The country is one of the damned places on earth for no fault of theirs. Cite Soleil and Port-au-Prince is one of the most rotten corners of this heartbreaking slum. Cite Soleil is one of the largest slums in the northern hemisphere. Here, you experience abject poverty first-hand. There are no schools, electricity, healthcare facilities, or sewers. Inhabitants of this village live their lives with no hope of the future. They can't relate to the modern facilities those in the West enjoy, and it is even unusual to get them to be used to drinking clean water.
It is the kind of place where aid workers visit, and the earth swallows them up. In 2007, some UN peacekeepers tried to access the neighborhood, but instead of being welcomed with open arms, they were greeted with gunfire. On top of all that happens here, some criminals escaped from prison during the 2010 earthquake, and the crime rate increased exponentially. It became a case of moving from worse to worst.

9. Harare, Zimbabwe
Economists the world over agree that Harare is one of the worst cities to live in. The once exciting hive for tourists and nature lovers has become a shadow of itself thanks to corruption and hyperinflation. This city's trouble began in the early 21st century when the inaction rate increased to 112.1%. This has to be one of the worst you've heard, right? Hold on! Zimbabweans would gladly return to this year in history if they knew what laid ahead of them. In 2008, inflation rates rose to an all-time high of 89.7 sextillion percent per annum.
I'll paint a typical scenario so that you understand better. If you deposited $10,000, it would be about four-thousandths of a U.S cent in one year. Hell no! This arrangement was billed to crash the economy, and it did just that. Imagine what happens when a loaf of bread costs trillions and the unemployment rate rises to 80%? Harare needs a miracle, and except you're going for research purposes, it is best to look elsewhere.

8. Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Some decades ago, Mohammed Ali and Foreman traded blows in one of the world's most historic matches. The event took place in Kinshasa, which was formerly known as Zaire. At the time, the future was bright because the government was benefiting from the oil boom. They had lots of it and had countries willing to buy them. Therefore, everything seemed rosy.
Sooner than they realize, the once blooming country was invaded by corruption, and their future upturned. Presidents and those after them saved most of the country's money in personal foreign bank accounts, amounting to about 4 billion dollars as of 1980. By1998, the region was thrown into an unexpected Second Congo War known as one of the deadliest since World War II. More than 5 million people died, and to this day, the country has not recovered. Even though foreign investors are beginning to develop an interest in the country's resources, political instability, and violence reign supreme. Whenever elections are close, thousands of nationals flee the nation for fear that violence would erupt. Their suspicions prove to be right every single time.

7. Rocinha favela, Rio de Janeiro
Rocinha is the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro. Rio's view from this location is stunning. It is home to a few thousand Brazilians packed on a steep hillside. Even though the envy of visitors, this site has one of the highest murder rates in the world. Brazil has since been deploying expertise in handling the situation, knowing that it is a hotspot for world events like the Olympics and World Cup. Locals have since declared war in the slums to eliminate the hoodlums and drug cartels that roam around the street, but their efforts have yielded little or no result.
The military and armed police officers are stationed at the favela to forestall violence and any uprising, but there's a lot more to be done. Although Rio is relatively safe, it is wise to avoid the favelas, unless a local guide accompanies you.
