There aren’t many people on the planet who can say they’ve been to every country on Earth, but adventurer Drew Binsky is apparently one of them.

According to the United Nations, there are 195 recognized countries in the world but the US intelligence agency, the CIA, would argue there are 237 countries in total.

Science Focus writes that the numbers differ due to there being a 'lot of disputed zones and nations that hold either full or partial sovereignty around the world'.

One content creator who claims to have visited every single one of these countries is called Drew Binsky.

In conversation with UNILAD, the Arizona native revealed he’s done everything from spending downtime with indigenous tribes in Africa to heading into the heart of India to meet with locals.

Earlier this summer, Binsky explained that while he has stumbled upon his favorite country which has ‘everything you could want’, his adventures haven’t all been sunshine and rainbows.

In fact, the traveler has faced trials and tribulations along the way, especially trying to move from the United States to Venezuela.

"I ended up getting the visa from the Venezuelan embassy but they were difficult because of the sanctions and political tensions between the US and Venezuela, but I was able to get one last minute,” he explained.

Meanwhile, Drew claims immersing himself in different cultures is really what gets him going

"I really like visiting indigenous tribes, because it shows a different side of the world is not so consumed in technology and electronics," he said.

"It's humbling to meet people and see how they're living in faraway places; I plan to keep visiting them [indigenous tribes] mostly in Africa, but also in South America and India."

But did Binksy find it difficult to adapt to and comply with his surroundings?

"Not really, I think it's rewarding I can meet people and document their lives,” the social media star confessed.

“So it wasn't never really difficult. I never had any issues getting to know other people, and making them comfortable on camera," he said.

While meeting tribes is amazing, there is one country that sticks in Drew's mind as his favorite.

When UNILAD asked him the best country he's ever visited, Drew replied: "I would say the Philippines. 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 the Philippines may be his favorite, Drew is planning to live in Dubai with his wife in the future due to the 'culture'.
