Drew Binskyhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/drewgoldberg (born: ), better known online as Drew Binsky, is an American YouTuber that does a wide variety of travel videos.
==About==
Binsky was born in Dallas, Texas and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona, he is an American YouTuber that makes videos about his experiences in every country he visits and the stories he finds. His original plan was to visit every country in the world, which he completed in October 2021. He goes to a country and reviews what's unique in a specific country. For example, he reviewed Lebanon and said that people there are multilingual and they have Byblos as the oldest surviving city in the world, to name a few facts that he said.
Sometimes, he shows one of these facts about a specific country in the thumbnail and title and talks about it. For example, he talked about Tuvalu, a country, having the domain name .tv, and the country gaining an income of 5 million dollars yearly over it.
Overall, although he primarily does travel videos, he occasionally talks about other stuff and stories, like the world's most addictive drug (the betel nut) and Mike Posner manually walking across the United States.
"Binsky" was a nickname given to him by his family, of Jewish origin.
He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, which he graduated in 2013 with degrees in economics and entrepreneurship.
As of October 2021 he has visited every country in the world, with his final country being Saudi Arabia.
==History==
He was born on May 24, 1991 in Dallas, Texas, United States and grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona, United States. His parents was bought him a globe at his 8th birthday then he spin it and memorize all the countries/capital/flags. He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, graduating in 2013 with degrees in economics and entrepreneurship, despite his previous tendency of partying often and getting bad grades back in 2010, as he mentioned in one of his YouTube posts.https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugzy9zU4HTY6fpltdJZ4AaABCQ During his junior year in college, he entered into a study abroad program in Prague, Czech Republic. He studied there for a semester, during which time he traveled to more than 20 countries across Europe.
Binsky launched his YouTube channel on July 25, 2012, and uploaded a video on the same day. His first video is about him trying to speak Czech.
On late 2022 (around August or September), his channel was hacked by someone impersonating ARK Invest, deleted (or at least privatized) all of his videos, and livestreamed a crypto stream starring Elon Musk.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNBQkupUENQ However, he was on a golf trip with his dad in Wisconsin, and his fiancée Deanna tried to inform him to get his channel back and contact his manager AJ. He got in contact with a man named Zachary and was helpful in this situation. YouTube noticed and brought the channel back to Drew.
==Border 197==
Border 197 is a potential 90-minute documentary that is going to be shot in his final six countries; Palau, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Ecuador, Venezuela and Jamaica. This documentary is going to be different from his typical videos because it will cover Drew's personal experiences and what he learned after visiting every country. It will not cover a compilation of his travels. Chris Weddings and Drew Binsky are creating this documentary together. It will be released somewhere in December 2021.http://drewbinskydocumentary.com/
