Man who has visited all 197 countries in the world shares the one he felt ‘most unsafe’ in

And his opinion may surprise you

A man who has visited every single country in the world has named the number one spot where he felt most unsafe.

YouTuber Drew Binsky has a very busy passport, having travelled to 197 different countries in his lifetime, and he's got plenty of opinions about the best and worst places he has seen.

While some of us UK folks can only boast to have been to traditional travel destinations in Europe, even if the Spaniards aren't too keen on hosting us anymore, Drew has been to every single one, including all the ones on the 'do not travel list'.

Whether it's wars, laws or in-laws, there are plenty of places that most people are keen to avoid, and there's probably only a handful of people that can claim to have visited North Korea, for example.

Naturally, Drew is going to be more positive about some spots than others, and while he's previously revealed Chad as the scariest place he's visited, he's now named the five areas he felt most unsafe in his many years of jet-setting.

He said: "I travelled to every country in the world. Here are the five places I felt most unsafe. Number one is Mogadishu, which is the capital of the East African country Somalia.

"This place has no rules, no laws. Al-Shabaab is present, which is an off-shoot of Al-Qaeda. Every time you leave your hotel you have to have a convoy in the front and back with four bulletproof vest military guys sitting on the beds of each truck with huge AK-47s in their hand, scouting out the area before you go.

"Last time I went, I visited my friend at the Hyatt Hotel, which actually is gone because it was attacked. It's just very scary and very unfortunate."

The UK government currently advises against all travel to Somalia, 'due to the threat from terrorist groups and continuing violence'.

Just in case you have a death wish and fancy knowing about the other four spots he names as particularly unsafe, Drew names Conakry (Guinea), Kandahar (Afghanistan), Port Au Prince (Haiti) and Tripoli (Libya), as his other four most unsafe spots around the world.

On the flip side, you might be better off visiting his favourite spot, which he previously revealed as Philippines, saying it has everything you could want.

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

While Drew's achievements are incredibly impressive, they are pale in comparison to Danish globe-trotter Thor Pedersen, who managed to visit every country in the world without visiting the airport at all.
