Man who visited all 197 countries in the world revealed the scariest place he visited
If you looked up the definition of the word 'globetrotter', Drew Binsky's name would probably be somewhere in the description.
This bloke has really taken tourism to the extremes over the last decade or so, as he has ticked off a trip to every single country on the planet.
The YouTuber, who boasts a whopping five million subscribers, has documented his extraordinary visits to all 197 nations online.
But as I'm sure you can imagine, it's not all been sunshine and cocktails for Drew during his epic journey.

Between encountering cannibals on Papua Island, getting caught up in the chaos of Guinea's capital Conakry and navigating the 'world's narrowest city' in China, he's ran into a few challenges along the way.
But none of these places have left a lasting impression on him like his trip to N'Djamena in Chad did.
Drew reckons it is the 'scariest country he has visited, hands down' - which is seriously saying something, seen as though he's had a look around every far flung corner of the world.
The content creator, from the US, explained that he had spent time in N'Djamena, Chad's capital and largest city, in 2018.
And seven years later, he still hasn't got over his terrifying experience.
Speaking to UNILAD, Drew explained: "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."
"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 6ft 6ins local friend, then I'm not sure I would have made it out of that country alive - no joke!"
He also discussed his hellish holiday to the country in Central Africa in a video shared in April 2022, where he revealed that he left early because he 'had that bad of a time'.
Drew explained that after meeting his extremely tall friend who was acting as his chaperone in N'Djamena, they each hopped onto separate motorcycle taxis.
"We got lost from each other," he said. "My phone wasn't working. And, the motorcycle taxi that I jumped on happened to be a stolen bike, so I was caught in this big police chase.
"I was cutting through the dirt roads of the city. I got off the bike and there was a huge fight that broke out on the street, and people were grabbing my shirt, like wanting to kill me."
After all this chaos, Drew then hopped onto a random minibus to escape the madness - but he soon ran into more.
"Later on, I was taking pictures and I took a picture of a little kid - which normally, I get approval from the parents, but I didn't see the parents around," the YouTuber recalled.
"Then it turned into a huge problem and another brawl. People were trying to...literally, a guy threatened to take out a knife."
His spate of bad luck wasn't over just yet, either.
Drew said he was trying to keep 'calm' after his crazy day and had visited a shisha bar with his bodyguard to unwind.
"I walked outside to take a phone call and I stepped in a huge pile of poop," he sighed. "Like, human poop - not cow poop, like human faeces.
"I actually ended up booking my flight out early, because I had that bad of a time. And not to mention like everywhere you go in Chad, people kind of stare at you.
"As a traveler, it's a very, very, very difficult place to visit - not much to do and it's a place that is a little bit rough around the edges."
Despite his unfortunate experience, Drew says he would 'definitely give Chad another chance'.
Although he reckons the capital was 'really rough', he wants to head to the north of the country in the future and hopefully have a less tumultuous time.
Chad has been dealing with political unrest for many years and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) 'advises against all travel to parts of Chad.'
