A man who has visited all 197 countries in the world says the best one he has been to has ‘everything you could want’.

I mean, that’s the same kind of thing people say about all-inclusive resorts, you know those kind of holidays with a load of different restaurants and pools.

But Binsky’s travels are far more adventurous than a only £200 for a family of four kind of deal. He’s been across ‘all 197 nations’ around the world, from the ‘scariest’ to the best,

Among a very exclusive group of YouTubers creating this kind of mad travel content, he says he’s visited most countries in Europe over three times.

And that led to him creating a whole ranking of his ‘favourite and least favourite nations’ on our continent. But spoiler, his ‘best’ isn’t one of those.

Probably one of the ultimate travellers, the lad from Arizona, US, has spent over a decade travelling the world – taking his YouTube subscribers along for the ride.

The 34-year-old has racked up over five million of them and he’s replaced his nation visiting challenging with the goal ‘to meet every President, leader or head-of-state’.

Binsky holds two Guinness World Records, one for visiting the most UNESCO Heritage sites in a 24-hour period and for the quickest suitcase packing.

He even released a book last year, titled Just Go, documenting his travel stories in writing.

What is the best place he’s travelled to?

Having seen so many places around the world, Binsky told UNILAD that the best country he’s visited is the Philippines.

“I think it's the most beautiful country in the world, super safe and full of nice people,” he explained. "It's like everything you could want in one country."

Although, it isn’t so much of a favourite he wants to relocate there as Binsky said he plans to live in Dubai in the future with his wife due to the ‘culture’.

What is the scariest place he’s been?

From encountering cannibals on Papua Island to navigating the 'world's narrowest city' in China, Binsky has had quite the variety of challenges during his travels.

But the one to have left the biggest mark seems to be his trip to N'Djamena in Chad.

He reckons it’s the 'scariest country he has visited, hands down'. The content creator visited back in 2018 and years later said: “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.”

Binksy claimed he was ‘involved in a disastrous police chase on a motorbike’ and was ‘was attacked by over a dozen people for trying to take a photo’.

"If it wasn't for my 6ft 6ins local friend, then I'm not sure I would have made it out of that country alive - no joke!"
