Last year I made a video called "My 3 Scariest Travel Stories," and I've decided to do a sequel because I've been in many scary situations since then which often go undocumented...
In this video, I tell you about 3 more terrifying stories that have happened to me in Afghanistan, Yemen and Libya.
Please note that these stories are based 100% on my own personal travel experiences. I DO NOT hate these countries -- in fact, it's just the opposite. When you travel to every country in the world, you're often going to be put in situations like these, and I feel like it's appropriate to share them with you.
What's your scariest travel story? Please share in the comments below!

Good observation i didn't even notice it
I noticed it an i cant control my self i was laughing A LOT
Oh no I see them, nvm
What a bunch of slackers. Why don’t you go to 170 countries on your own change , without your mommy & daddy & 12 relatives to meet you? Yea, you! I know you .
Your story in Lybia reminded me of one of my crazy airport stories (not one or two funny experiences). I was just out of high-school when me and a friend from uni decided to spend the summer in USA. It was our first ever flight on an airplane...and this is what happened:
During the flight i suddenly notice that the girl sitting in front of me has a blue stamp on her visa while the one on my paper is black, so i slowly realize that it's a copy and i forgot the original home. We land at JFK in the middle of the night. At the checkpoint, the officer looks at my visa paper and after a short phone call strictly says: ''go to the back room''. It was my first ever time speaking with a native English speaker, so i thought i might have heard it wrong, but it was real. In the meantime, my friend was confused what was happening and didn't know what to do- to go with the group so she doesn't stay alone in New York in the middle of the night, in case i am sent back home or to wait for me so i am not left alone in New York in the middle of the night, in case they let me in...
I am sitting there in that back room, surrounded by people from different countries, dressed colorfully... I have to put my sunglasses on to hide the tears pouring down my face and i keep on thinking: ''my father had to take a bank loan for me to come here and now i may be have to go back...no, i can't go back home...i will hide and work as a waitress somewhere, until i save the money needed to give back to him.'' (just to mention, i was raised on a farm in a poor village in one of the poorest countries in Europe). I wait and i wait...until a tall uniformed woman slowly walks towards me, eating a donut, hands back my visa paper and tells me in a cool way ''next time don't forget your originals, alright''. It felt like a movie scene. So i'm finally running out of that back room, i am jumping and shouting with joy, and through happy tears hugging my good friend, who didn't leave me alone, but even persuaded the other girls from the group to wait for me. And this is how our crazy American adventure started with some crazy airport adrenaline...
@kareemsarhan3480 you must be a very unhappy person to have the need to comment something so unnecessary and mean. your comment was totally unasked for. i enjoyed reading her/his story! i hope you find some happiness in your life!🫶🏼

Drew risks his life to tell his travel stories. Thank you Drew
Drew, with all due respect, being questioned 10 minutes at the airport of a country in the middle of a civil war is pretty easy, compared to the questioning they do to some travelers at the US airports!
right? I remember few years ago they were questening a 5 year old iranian kid at the US aireport for hours away from his parents.
Actually lol all the us one can do is let you go if the Libyan officials saw that he was taking it he may have died
That’s because other countries security protocols suck. They actually believed some random foreign RUclipsr was an oil consultant and allowed him into their country. And in this case 2 different people from 2 different countries.
@@Vet0714you mean just Libya not all countries besides the US suck
@@chidubemgaming7563he didn’t say all countries besides the US suck he said there’s countries out there that have less lrotocol than the US and to be honest that’s the majority of countries.

Drew: Afghanistan is a very scary country
2 secs later
Afghanistan is in my top 20 favourite countries
Me: Surprised pikachu face
Also he wants a round 2
Because the people of Afghanistan are one of the best people I've met but their country is unfortunately been in war for almost 40 years, the safety of a country and the beauty of it is completely different things
Not for an Indian, they respect and love Indians

Wow, Drew, I held my breath hearing you tell you scary moments. I took more smokes into Indonesia than I was allowed and in airport, an officer was searching my suitcase but I was saved as my shampoo bottle had exploded on the plane and he got his hand in it and threw everything back in. Phew!!
Drew, I have been watching your channel for over a year, I confess, I do not want to travel to every country in the world; but you have an enviable lifestyle. Can you share any secrets for a beginner?
Drew Binsky 2020: Goes to scary countries
Drew Binsky 2022: Goes to Mars
Shall I ruin the 69 likes?
Sami Affes probably will 😂
There are no scary countries according to us Afghans scariest country is the U.S.
Moon landing is a hoax...
From what i know, it takes you way more than 2 years to get to mars. Like maybe 10-30 years idk
Every time i see you in Manila I get a really homesick. Lived there for nearly half my life, such an amazing city.

Idk he might be able to get philipines
sounds very wise.

Yeah, just get a Philippine passport and tell them your a mestiso OFW
To go to Middle East countries, he should get an Israel passport

Love your videos drew. Am from Nigeria 🇳🇬... Been hooked to your channel for days now can't seem to get enough of your adventures. I must say you are one brave man.. Thumbs up
Impressive man, you live your life at the edge all the time with all these trips. The sensation, however, after the danger has passed, must be incredible
You must be one very prayerful man. You always make it out of the craziest stuff...
I swear, in another video he told the scary story of entering Libya and said the cost of getting the visa was $1,000, but in this video he’s saying it’s $600. Is he making this stuff up?

But these are just normal travel stories...nothing happened. He put himself out there, things worked the way they work in the places he was, and everything worked out.

A friend and I got held hostage in a hotel in Phnom Penh, it was definitely an experience I won't ever forget.
Damn, thanks for sharing. My mom was held captive/hostage and she refuses to talk about it. It still haunts her :/
The world can be a scary place, but it’s kinda worth it to see it.
I'm surprised that despite so much travels the scary travel stories are scarce. It seems the world is a safer place than many people think.
My personal scary travel story: when I saw someone getting mugged on Bali. That's it...
It is actually media makes everything seem more scary then it actually is
Ya.. being a white male also helps.
For a white male traveller, yes.
Drew would've definitely been killed if he went to the war sones
200 years ago, 15% of people met their death via another human, nowadays it's below 0.1% go enjoy life my friend!
Actually I'm so happy after saw these things can be happen in other countries. Also this year is gonna suck for the whole world.
1- Forest fires in Australia
2- Taal Volcano erupted in Phillipines
3- Earthquakes in Turkey
4- WW3 almost begun between Iran and USA
5- Coronavirus in China
6- Kobe Bryant dead
AND THAT WAS ONLY JANUARY
kobe bryant’s death isn’t much important when looking from a global perspective.
Don’t forget the people of Burma 🇲🇲 , people of Syria 🇸🇾, Iraq 🇮🇶, Palestine 🇵🇸, Yemen 🇾🇪, and so on. The list is too long . 😓😓 innocent children, women and men are dying everyday and no one says anything.
Hamish Still, he’s a legend. One of the best basketball players. He’s definitely significant.
David Almirante what just because he’s famous ??
In feb 14 i can no oneto date thats the worst😅
“ what do you do for a living?”
“ Oil consultant”
“ Who do you work for ?”

Hello drew, love your content. I think this is one of your best videos yet. Would love to see more like this, greetings from Denmark

With all the good comes a bit of bad; however, luckily, you are here today thank God and these experiences have made you stronger!

A) I stubbed my toe
B)i went to McDonalds and the ice cream machine was broken
C) When i was awake at 3 A.M and i opened the fridge and it was full of.....VEGETABLES
Lol

Actually the third one was scary, normally when you wake up at 3 AM it means someone, like a ghost, is staring at you hehe goodluck with that
Xd I don't even wanna get outta my bed in 3 AM your brave

You are so brave to travelled these countries😨
Lol the fireworks part is hilarious 🤣 always take care drew 😁
My scariest travel story
i was walking in my area and 2 dog almost bite me i was so scared that day
😂😂😂same here bro
Cool story bro
Your story line is so random!
Still love ya!
Be careful Drew! stay safe
amazing hes still alive , beating the odds
Slowly Slowly youtube is becoming Television. Like television, RUclips is also showing 2 to 3 ads that also long and continuous which cannot be skipped. Does anyone agrees??
Wot. Without ads youtube wouldn't survive. 100%
Read my comment properly. I didn't say that youtube shouldn't put ads in videos. I just said that youtube is putting long and more ads like television.
I had a similar instance myself while traveling from Bangkok to Malaysia. I decided to travel the route by train. First class sleeper train. Nice trip, great scenery etc. At the half way point in Hat Yai, Thailand, about 16 Thai soldiers in full combat gear entered the train for our protection. OK?I guess. No firefights along the way, every so far so good. Travel ended in Songai Kalok. Spent time there and walked across the Thai-Malaya border to travel to Kotha Baru. On the way back, a building I stayed near to in Songai Kalok was blown to bits by an insurgents bomb. Lady Luck was with me since if my travel dates were changed I probably would have been to close to the bombing and my life could have changed for the worse.
the scariest travel experience i've ever had was one time me, my dad, my brother and my dad's dog were driving in the rocky mountains in the winter, my dad's foot slipped off the clutch while shifting gears, we spun out and almost careened off of the mountainside
watched enough of Drew's videos to know now that he is more afraid of fireworks and actual gunfire.
The scariest thing that happened to me was when I was getting chased by a random guy at night, but then I woke up, I cried afterwards
3:28 he made a mistake. He wrote east instead of easy.
Drew : You are a crazy traveller 😁
So happy to meet on this digital platform 😊🤘
His guy grandchildren will never get bored listening to his stories.
You should come to the north of Portugal... It's amazing
Tuga!Sim
Nah it’s like a ghetto
no russia dude RUSSIA MY DUDE
I enjoyed telling em scary music starts playing
The drive from Salalah to Yemen was beautiful! I didnt get to the border, I recall driving over a valley with the setting sun beaming into it. An Omani soldier stood on a rock outcropping looking iver the valley at orayer time. We got to the other side and my passengers (fiance and her niece) talked me into turning around. We had no plans to cross the border just a bit of exploring.
Could you do a video on 'fixers'? Are those the locals that you travel with? Thanks for the eye-opening content!
What happened to the japanese guy he looks cool
He ded
He died and became a ghost

No suprise your toughest moments were in these 3 countries. when you go to certain places you know the risk. When everything is done, you are happy to have lived something "adventurous" but in their right moments, when you fear for your life, man.....it's scaring ! It happened to me few times, mostly once between Colombia and Venezuela in an area infested by bandits and guerrilla. But ...we are here now, stronger than ever. ! how is the saying ? "what doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger".
Lmaoooo oil consultants your life is a movie Drew that’s so cute you had a buddy to do it with you !!!
Just found your Channel !
