Travel advisories are nothing new for the United States.

Consider the countries the U.S. has warned its travelers about visiting in the last month or so. Over the weekend, the government put out an advisory for those looking at a trek to the Republic of South Sudan, citing "ongoing fighting, intercommunal violence and violent crime." The State Department also asked U.S. citizens to "consider carefully whether you need to travel to Bangladesh, in light of the latest attack in a series of extremist events."

Venezuela – a country embroiled in a crippling recession and subject to high levels of violent crime – was the subject of an advisory earlier in the month, as were Iraq and Mali. And in June, the government warned about travel to Afghanistan, Kenya, Libya, Turkey, Ukraine and Yemen.

In short, tumultuous countries in which safety cannot reasonably be guaranteed are periodically flagged by the U.S. and countries elsewhere as destinations where visitors should exercise caution – or perhaps avoid altogether.

So it may come as a surprise to many Americans that the U.S. has been the subject of similar admonitions around the world.

Citizens from the Bahamas to the United Kingdom to New Zealand have been cautioned about traveling to America in recent months, with international governments warning about LGBT acceptance, race relations and the threat of an impending terrorist attack.
