Drew Binsky is a world-famous travel blogger who tours different countries and tends to get acquainted with their culture. Till date, he has been to 153 countries since 2012.
Binsky is a renowned travel blogger who said he withdrew Rs28,000 or $200 from an ATM when he landed in Pakistan, wrote, “Fact: I came to Pakistan and I haven’t spent any money. Why? Because nobody will let me. Seriously. This is the world’s best hospitality, by a long shot.”
In the video published on youtube, which has till now gotten 396,869 views. Binsky has also captured himself buying items in the streets of Peshawar, the vendors have refused to take money from him. Two girls, also exploring Pakistan with Binsky grabbed a few sandwiches to take pictures of and when they were going to put them back the vendor refused and gave them to the girls free of cost.
A previously published post by Binksy stated,”Truth be told, I’ve never received better hospitality in my life than in Pakistan. Along with Iran, Pakistan is the world’s most misconceived and misunderstood country. If you’ve ever been here, then you’ll know. Happy Pakistan Day!”
“Anywhere I go in the world, I always insist on paying — whether it be for dinners, gifts, taxi rides, experiences, you name it. But the people here in Pakistan (aggressively) won’t let me pay. It’s insane!!” he said.
Binsky clarified that it was not just the people help him explore Pakistan, his newly found friends, but “random street vendors and people I meet especially here in Peshawar”.
It is a seemingly great trip which Drew Binsky has had in Pakistan along with great hospitality shown to him by all the locals, with a humble and welcoming attitude towards the renowned travel-blogger. Binsky has faced no backlash and also deems Pakistan a safe place, given his extremely positive experience of traveling within Pakistan,
