Man who has visited every country in the world shares ‘one of worst' cities he has visited 'by far’

A bloke who claims to have visited every country on the planet has revealed which city he believes is the world's worst.

Drew Binsky reckons his track record for travel makes him more than qualified to rank the superior and inferior nations after having a look around all 197 of them.

He embarked on his mission to take the ultimate trip across the globe after ditching his teaching job in 2015 and committing to catching flights from one place to another full-time.

And after his former partner gifted him a decent camera, there was only one way this was going to end up - Drew creating an extremely popular YouTube channel to document his experiences.

Along the way, he's encountered cannibals on Papua Island, navigated the 'world's narrowest city' in China and bagged a beer as well as a full meal for just £3 in Uzbekistan, among other wild adventures.

But none of these places have shocked him as much as his visit to Conakry, the capital and largest city of Guinea.

Although Drew is no stranger to a bit of rough and ready - having travelled to notoriously crime-ridden spots such as Johannesburg and Honiara - he reckons this place is 'one of the worst' he has been 'by far'.

The US government issued fresh travel advice to Americans heading to Guinea in December, warning that people should 'exercise increased caution due to crime, civil unrest, and inadequate health infrastructure'.

Officials warned that there is 'considerable risk of crimes of opportunity in Guinea, especially in Conakry'.

Tourists were advised to be wary of pickpocketing, purse snatching, theft of valuables from vehicles, assaults, and residential burglaries - especially in crowded areas.

Travellers were also told that 'there are increased safety hazards and security concerns at night', while the US deemed the country's health infrastructure subpar.

Which probably isn't selling a trip to Conakry to you very well...but if you are still on the fence about whether to book one, just wait until you find out what Drew had to say about it.

In a video 'ranking the top 20 best and worst cities on earth', the content creator - who boasts nearly five million subscribers - explained his first ten minutes after arriving in the port city were already chaotic.

"We've already been stopped by two policemen," he told the camera, while his friend added: "The whole city is insane!"

The Texas-born explorer continued: "When I arrived there, there was a coup...there were policemen lined up on the streets with big shield and bulletproof vests, like war was about to break out.

"We got in the car and we drove off, ended up going to the next checkpoint ahead."

Drew then explained that an official had 'ratted them out' without providing much further context, before adding: "Now our driver, poor Marlin, he has to deal with all this crap. He's negotiating with them."

The YouTuber said that their chauffeur had to cough up a $20 (£16.25) 'bribe' to be allowed to proceed in the vehicle.

"This is by far one of my least favourite places in the world," Drew went on, before listing what other issues he had with his trip to Conakry.

"The entire city smelt like trash. It was like sewage everywhere and like, I have a high tolerance for dirty places and I've seen a lot of things around the world...but Conakry was noticeably the worst.

"People there were not very friendly at all. In fact, I tried to sit down at a restaurant and then some dude kicked me out for reasons that I don't know why."

Out of all of the 197 nations he has mooched around, Drew said that Conakry felt like 'one of the most unsafe'.

But it wasn't all bad - as he did enjoy a 'pleasant' visit to a popular mosque in the area.

"Other than that, I found nothing going on in the capital of Guinea," Drew added. "And it's probably a place that I will never visit again."

The YouTuber said that the city of N’Djamena in Chad and Delhi, India, also come low on his list.

On the other hand, he said that the Czech Republic's capital Prague, Thailand's tourism hub Bangkok and South Korea's Seoul made his top three.
