He said getting visas was his biggest challenge (Image: Drew Binsky/ YouTube) After 1,458 flights and 1,117 buses and trains, one man has done what many can only dream of - travelling to every country in the world. By the age of 30, Drew Binsky had travelled to all 197 countries, with the incredible journey taking just under 10 years. The 33-year-old, who hails from Dallas, Texas, defined countries by the UN's official list - which is 193 recognised sovereign states, as well as four he had added on, Kosovo, Palestine, Taiwan and Vatican.
The additional four are the "most recognised" of unrecognised country, he told CNBC. Binsky - whose real name is Drew Goldberg - is about the 250th person to complete this impressive task. The well-travelled community refer to themselves as the "every country" club, and he is friends with a portion of them.
