PROFILE

Drew Binsky is a world traveller who has visited ALL 197 countries since 2012. He works as a full-time video creator with more than 13 million social media followers and 7 billion video views. He is also a 3-handicap golfer and a 2X Guinness World Record holder.

Binsky grew up in sunny Scottsdale, Arizona and graduated from The University of Wisconsin-Madison, with a double-major in economics and entrepreneurship. The travel bug first hit him when he studied abroad in Prague during his Junior year of university. After having an incredible semester of living in Europe and travelling to 20+ countries, he knew he wanted to make a career out of travelling.

Two months after graduating university, Binsky moved to South Korea to become an English teacher. During his 18 months living in Korea, he started his first travel blog – "The Hungry Partier" – where he could document his travel and nightlife experiences around the world. Determined to grow a global audience from day one, Binsky spent 50+ hours per week writing blog posts, networking with other bloggers, and growing his social media channels from the ground up.

After 3 years of hard work and patience, Binsky grew "The Hungry Partier" to 150K+ monthly readers and 100K+ social media followers. He rebranded himself to his name, Drew Binsky, which is how he is known on all social media channels.

In 2015, Binsky left Korea to travel the world full-time with the dream to visit every country in the world. Over the last few years, he has developed a love for visiting countries that are perceived as dangerous -- Afghanistan, Venezuela, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Libya, and Iran. Binsky enjoys breaking the stereotypes by sharing positive stories about people and culture.

Binsky plans to continue travelling to faraway places and build the strongest travel community on earth. His latest projects are a book, a 6-part docuseries (shot in his final 6 countries) and a course to help you become a better traveller and save money.
