Wisconsin Residents Told “Do Not Travel” To These Locations

There is a list of several countries Wisconsin residents are told "Do Not Travel" to by the U.S. Government and for really good reasons.

Just in the news recently, Spirit Airlines and JetBlue Airways planes were shot at while flying over Haiti. That's not a situation you want to be a part of.

Many people will typically be traveling home to see friends and family with the holidays coming up. Some families even might be taking a Christmas trip somewhere else in the world to feel holiday joy in the warm sun. Those of us looking at our PTO account and realizing we have a week left over we have to use also might be looking at a spontaneous trip. Don't want to lose those vacation days you earned.

Whatever the reason for your travel at the end of this year and into 2025, there are several travel advisories you need to know about. You definitely want to keep an eye on the levels 1, 2, and 3 travel advisories put out by the U.S. Government, but you seriously need to know which countries have a "Do Not Travel" warning and there are a lot.

Wisconsin Residents Need To Know These "Do Not Travel" Warnings

The highest level of travel risk that the U.S. Department of State can issue for a country is Level 4: Do Not Travel. As of November, 20 countries around the world have that warning against them for several reasons including:

• Kidnapping
• Crime
• Civil Unrest
• Armed Conflict
• War

Whether you're flying out of Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport or even driving to O'Hare in Chicago, flights are most likely not going to these countries. If they are, it's to get U.S. citizens out of them.

These are the 20 countries you should not, and most likely cannot, travel to.
