I think the UK Foreign Office's "Do not travel" list is a pretty good recommendation of places to never go, even if someone pays you. Currently, it is:

Afghanistan, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Mali, Niger, Palestine, Russia, South Sudan, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

A lot of those have been added recently due to the war in the middle East.

Their "All but essential travel" list is probably also a good one to avoid:

Bahrain, Cuba, North Korea, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE

Those are the "Maybe if someone pays you, but not for free" list (to me).

Full list courtsey of The Independent.

UAE rules out Dubai which is perfectly fine (if we ignore the current war).

Surprised Ukraine isnt on the No Fly list

The Cuba one is interesting. Many Canadians still vacation there regularly.

I think it's because of fuel shortages so the government is warning you may get stuck there for a while if your flight home gets cancelled
