An influencer’s Instagram video on which countries he felt were the worst to travel to has sparked outrage online. David Simpson, who goes by the handle @djjsimpson on Instagram, dropped a video about the harsh realities of travelling to different countries. India made it to his list, and not in a good way. The video was shared on October 17 with the caption, “It’s not all Pina Coladas and white sandy beaches.” For Simpson, Guinea was the most corrupt nation he visited, while Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, had the worst traffic, with Manila a close second. When it came to the dirtiest place he visited, the vlogger said India. The clip showed images of dirty streets and tangled electric wires, while India was mentioned. Over the clip, Simpson wrote, “This is an absolute shame because parts of it are unreal, people amazing.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by David Simpson (@djjsimpson) Apart from India, Simpson also slammed Morocco, calling it the most unfriendly place. He termed the United States the most expensive. David Simpson’s Worst Airport Experience Not just that, Simpson also had plenty to say about his airport experience in India, calling it the worst of his life when asked about it by a user in the comments section. The vlogger wrote, “India, flight cancelled 5 times, trapped for a week. This was in 2025!” In another comment, he mentioned that the incident happened at the end of August due to weather conditions. Instagram Users React Many users were furious at Simpson’s comments. “Bro, you love Pakistan, we all know, but don’t disrespect India, the whole world knows which country is better and its GDP,” one account wrote. Another remarked, “There are many good places in India, but you showed us some bad places just to get views.” Some users, on the other hand, praised Pakistan for its hospitality. One user claimed the country was the “most hospitable and beautiful“ one in the world. An account remarked, “Man, India is ashamed on a global level, love from Pakistan.” An individual defended India and wrote, “You cannot class the whole of India a dirty country what a ridiculous statement. Some of the best hospitality and hotels in the world and you show pictures of a slum. You could find that in most countries by going to a rundown area.” The comments show how a traveller’s personal experiences can become a battleground for people of different nationalities. A bad experience can bias a tourist against an entire country, and speaking out about it can lead to heated exchanges on social media.
