There are few people who can claim they’ve visited every single country on Earth, but adventurer and content creator Drew Binsky is one of them.
Having traveled to all corners of the globe, Binsky recently shared his thoughts, including the one country that stands out as having “everything you could want.”
According to the United Nations, there are 195 countries.
However, the CIA argues there are 237 due to various disputed territories and semi-recognized states. Drew Binsky, who has explored them all, has seen the world in a way few others have.
His adventures have taken him from bustling urban centers to remote indigenous communities, each offering unique perspectives.
Binsky’s journey hasn’t always been smooth.

Despite the obstacles, he managed to obtain a last-minute visa and experienced Venezuela firsthand.
One of the things Binsky finds most rewarding is immersing himself in cultures vastly different from his own.
“I really like visiting indigenous tribes,” he told UNILAD, noting that these communities live “not so consumed in technology and electronics.”
This connection, he says, brings him a humbling sense of gratitude and perspective.
His encounters with indigenous tribes in Africa, South America, and India left a lasting impression.
“It’s humbling to meet people and see how they’re living in faraway places,” he shared. Drew is eager to continue visiting these communities, drawn by their unique way of life and the opportunity to document their stories.
Adapting to various environments, Binsky finds joy in getting to know people around the world.
“Not really,” he said when asked if he found it difficult to adjust. “I think it’s rewarding I can meet people and document their lives.” His openness and genuine curiosity help him build connections, making filming a comfortable process.
While every place he’s visited has had something memorable, one country has earned a special place in his heart.
When asked about his favorite destination, Drew didn’t hesitate. “I would say the Philippines. I think it’s the most beautiful country in the world, super safe and full of nice people,” he revealed to UNILAD. No wonder it’s also the place where him and his wife got married.
For Binsky, the Philippines offers everything a traveler could want.

Despite his love for the Philippines, Drew has plans to settle down in Dubai with his wife, drawn by the emirate’s unique culture.
Though Dubai is worlds away from the Philippines, he feels it’s the right fit for the next chapter of his life. The move will mark yet another adventure for this seasoned traveler.
From exploring indigenous cultures to navigating geopolitical hurdles, Drew Binsky’s travels have been as varied as they are remarkable.
For him, the Philippines stands out as the ultimate destination. As he looks forward to life in Dubai, one thing’s certain: Binsky’s love for discovering new horizons is boundless.
