Eating on the Floor with NO FORKS!! (Mauritania)



THE FOOD IN MAURITANIA IS SO GOOD!

I was lucky enough to be invited into a local home for a traditional lunch today. Little did I know they dine while sitting on the floor and eat with their hands (no spoons, forks or knives). I cannot decide which I enjoyed more -- the taste of the food or the entire experience in itself. Let's just say both!

They dressed me in a boubou - a long, white, loose-fitting traditional garment that is typically worn every day by men. All I can say is that life is great out here in the Sahara desert!

P.S. Do you want me to do more food videos? To be honest, I prefer cultural/people videos over food, but if this gets good feedback then I will sprinkle these in more often!

Seeing His Dad for the First Time...

This is one of the most touching father son stories you will ever hear. When Xavier saw that I was coming to Mauritania, he immediately reached out and offered me a bed in his father's home in the capital city of Nouakchott.

Little did I know, it was his second time ever seeing his father. Here is the complete story that I hope you enjoy watching. Can anyone out there relate to Xavier with seeing your dad (or mom) for the first time as an adult? Please share your stories below.

WHO KNEW that the world's most expensive city for expats and tourists is Luanda, Angola?!

That's right -- it's not New York or London or Singapore or Dubai.... Not even close. It's Luanda Angola --, and if you don't believe me, you can ask BBC News, CNN and The Guardian.

I am not kidding you that I just saw a 13'' Macbook Pro listed at $4,200 at an electronics store Luanda -- I just bought the exact same computer in Arizona for less than half that price!

After spending the last 3 days in Luanda,, I've been surprised in many ways... but none more than the outrageous prices. You can learn all about it in this video.

Just curious -- Did anyone about this before watching this video? Or is this totally news to you?

What can you DO with 25 EURO in MAURITANIA ????????

*Support my channel by making a donation and make my dream come true.*
I'm dreaming of a Mustang since I was a child. Help me raise funds to afford it (I will keep it until I die)


On my last 24 hours I only got 25 Euro's in Mauritanian currency left.
I decided to make a video about what you can do with 25 Euro's in Mauritania.

You can do a lot more with the money I got, but I decided to go to the top end places of the city so I could enjoy my last day well.

The Indian Head Wobble Explained

What is the Indian Head Wobble? If you've ever been to India, or spoken with an Indian person, then you may have noticed that their heads move in various directions during conversation.

I am a very observant person, and I have noticed this since the first day I stepped on Indian soil years ago.

As a foreigner coming to India, it can be very confusing to understand what it means when people are bobbling their heads around, so here is a video explaining my thoughts... To be honest, I still have a hard time understanding what the head movements are saying!

If you are Indian, or if you can help better explain what it means, then please share your thoughts below in the comments!

Join my travels on Instagram @drewbinsky!

**PLEASE NOTE** this video is not intended to be offensive to anyone. It's simply a fun video that I made about my realizations after speaking with so many Indian people. I actually love the uniqueness that it brings to their culture, and I am finding the people of India to be amongst the friendliest I've ever met!

This morning I woke up in Guadalajara, Mexico, thinking I'd have a nice sit-down meal for lunch...

But when my local friend Carlos spontaneously told me about a restaurant in town that has a Guinness World Record for the 'World's Fastest Service' and I immediately took my camera out of my backpack and we were on our way there.

LITERALLY, we got our food in less than 10 seconds from the moment we ordered it. 10 SECONDS!! And believe it or not, the food is delicious and I'd go back here in a heartbeat!

If you ever find yourself in Mexico's second-biggest city called Guadalajara, don't miss out on Karne Garibaldi!

20 Hours on the World's Deadliest Train (Africa)

???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

This is probably my favorite adventure that I've ever taken. And I did it with my good friend Thomas, from @YesTheory. We hitched a ride on a 20-hour ire ore train, that travels across the Sahara Desert of Mauritania. It's the world's longest, heaviest, and most dangerous train, and let me tell you, it was the experience of a lifetime.

I've been wanting to take this train ride ever since my first trip to Mauritania in 2019. And after Thomas invited me, I couldn't help but say yes.

Thank you for watching, and stay tuned for more videos across this incredible West African nation called Mauritania!

Spending $100 in ISTANBUL in 24 Hours (Crazy Cheap!)

✅ SUBSCRIBE for More Travel Videos:
???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

GUYS, ISTANBUL IS AMAZING!! Have you ever been? If not, this video will convince you to go.

**Watch until the end to see how I almost didn't make it legally into Istanbul**

A few days ago, I spent the wildest 24 hours in Istanbul and budgeted myself with $100 to see how much fun I could have in the city.

This was my 4th visit to Istanbul, and every time I go back, I love it more and more. It might be the most electric and vibrant city in the world.

This is the 5th sequel to my “$100 in 24 Hours” series — but I think it’s the best one because Istanbul is MUCH cheaper than the previous few cities (Hong Kong and Barcelona)... The affordability enabled me to go ALL OUT on a $100 budget — kebabs, kumpir, coffee, baklava, tea, shisha, Efes beer and TONS MORE!

Lastly, the fact that I got into Istanbul, Turkey is a MIRACLE ... Have you heard about the Turkey/USA mutual visa ban?! Just 3 hours before my plane arrived in Istanbul (literally), all U.S citizens were banned from visiting Turkey indefinitely (the Turkish government mimicked the U.S.'s ban last week which prohibited Turkish citizens from entering the USA). I read this news while sitting on the runway in Tel Aviv, and I was so nervous that I was gonna get detained, deported and/or questioned by the Turkish immigration, but I made it in safely!!! I think I was the last American to get a visa on arrival. I hope this stupid visa ban goes away, and both U.S. and Turkish citizens are able to visit each other's country again. I hate politics.

Eating From The Floor in a Saudi Arabia Restaurant! ????????

#saudifood #sauditravel #riyadh
One of the first things I love to do when travelling is to try the local food. And when in Saudi Arabia certainly no difference. It was only a few years ago that women would not have been allowed to socialize in a restaurant with men but the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has changed and progressed a lot in recent years.

My friend Lee and his Thai girlfriend took me to a traditional Saudi restaurant where you sit on the floor and eat with your hands (if you are local!)

The food is simple but tasted great and is known as Chicken Mendhi.

Where to Stay in Nouakchott | Review: Best Semiramis Hotel | Best Hotel in Mauritania?

#hotelreview #nouakchott #traveltips

Finding a really comfortable, clean and modern place to stay in Nouakchott is NOT easy. But I was so super happy that I found the 'Best Semiramis Hotel' because I couldn't imagine a better place to stay in this city. Patrons there raved about how they always came back to the place and I could see why. Friendly and helpful staff, a great little restaurant and a comfortable room was just what the doctor ordered for a stay in this West African nation! So check out my 5-minute review!
