Since I was little, I also always wanted to go someplace that I wasn't really allowed to go, or was dangerous, or was at least perceived that way. Someplace where if I told people where I was going, they'd worry about my safety and wonder what the hell I was thinking. And where I could have an experience relatively fewer Americans have had. I think maybe I've outgrown that now. But I still love to read travel guides and blogs about these kinds of places. Over the years, that included places like Beirut, the Palestinian territories, Iraq, North Korea, Damascus.

The closest I ever got to that was probably Istanbul while they were engaging in a new military offensive against the Kurds, and about 3 years after they had a series of ISIS terrorist attacks targeting tourists. From what I can tell that was a pretty good time to go, not many crowds and a big security presence everywhere.
