Drew Binsky’s 10 years of travel

“It has taken me 10 long years to achieve this goal. It’s crazy to think that I’ve been on the road nonstop for the past decade, roughly 3,600 days,” he wrote.

The vlogger admitted that the pandemic delayed the finish by 18 months, but he never gave up on his quest.

Explaining why he cited 197 countries yet the United Nations recognize 193, he said:

“It’s very political. I add four to that- Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan and Vatican.”
