When it comes to travelling, some countries are deemed to be safer than others.
One man, named Henrik Jeppesen, who has travelled the world, explained that while he was expecting to experience some problems, he didn't expect to have so many.
Writing about his top 10 terrible moments on his blog, Every Country In The World, Henrik explained how he avoided prison in North Korea, had his passport stolen in the Gambia, gotten chased and robbed in Brussels, and had severe food poisoning in the Andaman Islands. Unlucky!
But, according to him, one experience in Pointe-Noire, in the Republic of the Congo, was particularly 'horrifying'.

Henrik had been booked to stay at a hotel near to the beach, and revealed that he decided to visit the coast when his nightmare began.
"On my day of departure, I decided to take some photos of the beach, but suddenly a man was yelling at me from a distance running towards me," he wrote.
After becoming concerned that he was being fined for doing nothing wrong, Henrik went back to the hotel, changed his shirt and booked a taxi to pick him up from the lobby.

But the unpleasant experience continued at the airport, too.
"I arrived at the airport, and some guys grabbed my passport and wanted to check in for me," he continued.
"I refused when I found out these guys were not airport staff to check my ticket, but there to make money out of people."
Henrik explained that at first, the men wouldn't give him his passport back. But the ordeal continued when, although he managed to retrieve his passport, a police officer then started trying to fill out his departure forms for him, despite him not needing the help.

He then arrived at security where he had one of the worst experiences of his entire travels.
"The guy did not speak English but wanted to check my entire bag and my pockets, including the wallet," he said.
"He said it is not allowed to bring CFA out of the Congo, despite its primary currency in West and Central Africa.
"I refused to let him see the wallet and he got very upset and said something in French that felt very threatening."
Henrik explained he became extremely concerned that the man would 'call some of his friends at the airport to get as much money out of me as possible'.
