- What is going on, everyone?
I have a very exciting announcement to tell you.
I have just booked flights to my final two countries,
Jamaica and Saudi Arabia, country number 196 and 197.
It's a really exciting time for me.
This is a been a lifelong goal
to visit every country in the world.
And it's been incredible to be able to document
the experience and share it on YouTube with you guys.
And even if there was a pandemic
that delayed the finish line by 18 months,
it looks like, fingers crossed,
that it will be accomplished.
And I can't wait to cross that finish line.
It's just something that I've always dreamed of
since I was a kid, you know.
My parents bought me a globe for my eighth birthday present.
And every night before I went to bed,
I would spin the globe and memorize all the countries
and capitals and dream of visiting
the Seven Wonders of the World and faraway places.
And now that I'm able to do it,
and finishing every country in the world at 30 years old,
is a tremendous accomplishment.
And so I'm very grateful for this community,
for all you guys out there.
I'm very excited for what's ahead.
And I'm very pumped for the documentary that I'm making.
It's a really cool piece about visiting every country.
A lot of behind-the-scenes about life as a YouTuber,
and content creator, and just all the stress
and anxieties that travel brings
that I don't often communicate or showcase in my videos.
So we've been shooting in the last six countries,
but four of them are complete.
It was Ghana, Ecuador, Venezuela, and Palau.
I actually haven't posted about Palau yet,
but I went there, so I'm breaking the news to you
for the first time right now.
But the Palau series will be coming very soon.
And then just Jamaica and Saudi Arabia
are the last two ones.
And so it's gonna be a really, really cool project.
I can't wait for you guys to see it
on a big streaming platform coming your way soon.
But there's all these other working pieces going on.
There's a book that I'm writing.
I'm gonna launch a really cool NFT project.
And if any of you guys are involved in NFTs,
please send me an email, drew@drewbinsky.com,
would love to connect with you,
and share with you the collection
that I'm about to launch,
because it's gonna be really cool,
and it's gonna be one-of-a-kind travel collection.
I also have a podcast that's about to be launched.
And I'm just growing my team,
and building everything, and just kind of elevating
to get to the next level.
Finishing the countries is number one target,
number one goal, and that is going to be done very soon.
So I literally just wanted to pop in here for a few minutes
and kind of give you a life update.
Also, just so you guys can understand
the way my content is being shared.
Every Sunday, I'm gonna continue
sharing a new video from my adventure.
So I'm currently posting from Mauritania.
So every Sunday will be that.
And then moving to Puerto Rico and then Palau,
and then I'll be caught up in Jamaica.
But on Wednesdays, I'm gonna try to share
other bits and pieces of fun content,
like I'm doing right now, life updates,
and just kind of other things
that are going on.
So I'm trying to get two new stories out every week.
And I just want to say thank you
from the bottom of my heart, for tuning in,
for joining me on this wild adventure to every country,
for all your comments and emails and messages.
It really means a lot to me.
Thank you for supporting my "Just Go" merchandise.
You know, the reason why I wear these words
across my chest is because I believe
that the best moments in life happen
when you just go, and you be spontaneous.
And you get out of your comfort zone.
That's something that I've realized from day one of travel.
And I actually used to wear shirts that said,
"Just Go" in 2016 and 2017.
I just never sold them and made it a brand until now.
So we sold thousands of shirts over the last few months
since I've launched it.
And I hope you guys have been able
to check out the new collection,
the European collection design that I just launched,
and there's still a few available on the site.
So if you want to check it out,
it would mean the world to support the mission,
and be a part of the community and just grow together.
Also, another one of my businesses
that I've been really proud of is the travel hacking course,
which I launched about a month ago.
And we had 612 people sign up for it so far,
which has been tremendous.
I'm gonna be sharing some of their reviews
and feedback and testimonials soon,
but I can just say that we've had
a 99% positive-review success rate.
And people have said, they've got 10 X the value
from the course.
So I'm gonna link it below if you wanna check it out.
It's basically all my best travel tips, hacks, secrets,
resources that I've learned from visiting
almost every country in the world.
And I put it together in a very easy to understand,
a way, broken down into different chapters,
like how to find the cheapest flights,
how to make local friends,
what are the best travel apps,
and all the ways that you can budget yourself,
and use travel, reward points, et cetera.
Yeah, so that's pretty much the update.
As you can see, I have a lot of businesses going on,
and I'm trying to just stay on top of things.
And I have teams that are helping me,
which is great, but it- there's a lot going on,
and finishing the countries is something
I'm super pumped about.
So stay tuned for incredible content
coming your way shortly.
Have a wonderful day, wherever you are in the world,
please stay safe and healthy out there.
And comment below where you're watching from.
I always read your comments, and I want to engage with you,
and hear, "What's your name, where are you from?
What do you- what are you up to in life?"
Let me know in the comments below, I'll get back to you.
And with that all being said,
I'll see you on Sunday for a pretty incredible story, peace.
