A globe-trotting man who has set foot in every country around the world has disclosed the most terrifying place he’s ever encountered.
Drew Binsky documents his extensive travels on his YouTube channel, which boasts nearly 4.5 million subscribers.
Having journeyed to every single country, Drew has amassed a wealth of stories to share.
In an earlier conversation with UNILAD, he discussed the best place on Earth that has ‘everything you could want’ and the country where he intends to eventually settle down.
Although the world offers stunning destinations and diverse cultures to explore, not every location is a must-see.
Drew opened up about the most frightening place he’s ever had the misfortune to visit.
“The scariest country I’ve visited has to be Chad, hands down,” he started.
“Back in 2018, I spent time in N’Djamena, Chad’s capital, and largest city. Never in my life have I been more scared, threatened, or attacked (both verbally and physically) than I was in that hot, dusty, and beaten-down, deserted city.”
Drew elaborated: “I was involved in a disastrous police chase on a motorbike and was attacked by over a dozen people for trying to take a photo. If it wasn’t for my 6’6” local friend (AKA Bodyguard), then I’m not sure I would have made it out of that country alive – no joke!”
Despite the harrowing experience, the YouTuber learned valuable lessons from his time in Chad.
He also offers advice for anyone considering a trip to the Central African country.
“The lessons I learned from my experience there are the following: always ask before taking a photo of anyone, avoid crowds, including any demonstrations or protests,” he shared with UNILAD.
“Chad is extremely dangerous due to the risk of terrorism, civil unrest, violent crime, and kidnapping. I strongly urge that anyone who plans to travel to Chad to seek professional security advice and always err on the side of caution.”
But it’s not all doom and gloom, as Drew has previously expressed his admiration for the Philippines.
“I think it’s the most beautiful country in the world, super safe and full of nice people,” he previously shared.
“It’s like everything you could want in one country.”
For those interested in more of Drew’s adventures, his book, Just Go, is now available in all major bookstores.
