Challenges for American Travelers
In an interview, Drew highlighted a common problem faced by American travelers who want to travel the world: obtaining visas in politically tense regions. He shared his most challenging experience entering Venezuela, noting, “I ended up getting the visa from the Venezuelan embassy, but they were difficult because of the sanctions and political tensions between the US and Venezuela. But I was able to get one last minute.”
Embracing Diverse Cultures
Despite the difficulties, Drew’s travels have also brought him unforgettable moments, particularly through his interactions with indigenous tribes. “I really like visiting indigenous tribes because it shows a different side of the world that is not so consumed in technology and electronics,” Drew explained.
He finds these encounters humbling and plans to continue visiting tribes in Africa, South America, and India. “It’s humbling to meet people and see how they’re living in faraway places; I plan to keep visiting them [indigenous tribes] mostly in Africa, but also in South America and India.“
Adapting to New Environments
Drew’s ability to adapt to different cultures has been rewarding. He remarked, “I never had any issues getting to know other people and making them comfortable on camera.” His ease in connecting with people worldwide has allowed him to document their lives and share their stories with a global audience.
A Favorite Destination
When asked about his favorite country, Drew unequivocally chose the Philippines. He described it as “the most beautiful country in the world, super safe, and full of nice people. It’s like everything you could want in one country.” Despite his love for the Philippines, Drew and his wife plan to move to Dubai in the future, drawn by its unique culture.
The Joy of Traveling
Traveling, whether it involves relaxing by the pool or embarking on adventurous explorations, offers endless fun and excitement. Drew Binsky’s journey across every country in the world serves as a testament to the rich experiences and diverse cultures that await those with a passion for travel.
