I Just Got Banned From North Korea

Hey friends! THANK YOU FOR 4 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS! We just hit it a few hours ago!! Just a little travel + life update for you: Tomorrow, I am heading to Antarctica and attempting to visit the actual, geographic South Pole (i.e. the Southernmost point of planet earth) where I will be completely offline for 8 days. It's the most ambitious trip of my life to date and I hope that I will make it there safely! Have a wonderful upcoming week and I will report back to you guys once I get back to Cape Town safely. Peace and love to you all! If you want to follow my trip in real-time, follow me on IG! www.instagram.com/drewbinsky/

I ran the Pyongyang Marathon the year before you did. I was scared senseless the whole time I was there. We were driven to the courthouse where Otto Warmbier had been tried, and told that if we stepped out of line we would meet a similar fate. It's not an experience I would either repeat or recommend to others. Textbook Orwell.

A little clickbait-ish: You didn't get banned from North Korea, every American did. It's a shame because the content is genuinely informative.

This man is very much appreciated im a felon and can’t experience the places you do but through these videos I feel like im there with you drew!!!! Thank you

Good for you for standing up and bringing awareness. Hats off Drew

Thanks so much for all of your content Drew! You are the reason I wanted to start travelling in the first place. Keep up the good work!

May just be one of the best story tellers on the platform! Going to vicariously live through you Drew

Thanks for posting!

It is really sad how the North Korean citizens can't leave their own country. It's so difficult to comprehend what they go though. I feel so bad for the citizens there.

Stay safe Drew !!!! Love your videos. Your joy and respect for others , everyone needs your open minded approach to the world. ❤❤❤

Thank you for covering your travel there and sharing all the insights

I've really enjoyed watching your videos of your journey across the world. Keep up the amazing content and stay safe !

Hey drew, you really inspired me to look and explore the world and the places I can’t go or can’t see u show them for me. Thank you for that and keep doing what you’re doing. 10 million subs is just around the corner 😊

Drew's lucky to have been able to visit every country on earth, something very few people have done. I don't think that's really possible anymore

Glad u help break ice between countries/ people

I show your videos especially the one on North Korea to my social study classes. Keep up the good work.

"A traveler and a story teller"... I respect that man. Don't let anybody stop you. Safe journey my man.

Congratulations on the 4 million subs!!! I applaud you for going to places that most people would intentionally avoid. I have seen the beauty in these countries as well as fear in your videos, the common denominator in all of them is how wonderful the people are. Despite that, I have no intention of visiting any of the horrible countries on our planet, if I were younger, perhaps. Have a wonderful time on the South pole!

This why I watch you bro! You always keep it💯

I have been a fan of your channel since about 3 years ago when I first set foot on a plane leaving my home of South Africa for the US. After watching every single video and subscribing to your news letter I feel like I am there with you. It actually inspired me to live abroad and travel. Crazy difficult but so worth it! I now have been living with my fiancé in Thailand for the past 2 years teaching English. We are going to South Korea in March of 2024 for our honeymoon and our bucket list item of visiting the DMZ will finally be ticked 🎉 We are super excited and watching this video just makes me wish it was sooner! Thanks for being the awesome guy you are and never stop doing what you are doing! You are inspiring! Be safe!
