This is NOT a story that I'm proud to share with you, but nonetheless, it's very important that it gets told.

This trip of traveling across West Africa in our own vehicle has been a nightmare in pretty much every category. We are trying to look past the negatives and stay positive, but it's impossible when situations like this are happening to us every day at every single border crossing and police checkpoint.

The level of corruption and bribery is out of this world, and we've experienced the worst here today on the border of Liberia entering Sierra Leone. We were scammed because we didn't have a cholera shot (which is 100% NOT the requirement, only yellow fever is). We were asked to pay $350, which we eventually settled at $150 (for 3 of us), and the worst part is that this money went directly into these corrupt officials' pockets.

These guys, in full uniforms, are bandits. Thieves. And it makes me depressed thinking about it. I feel defeated. But we are moving on.

In this video, discover the raw, unfiltered reality of daily life in the slums of Freetown, Sierra Leone ???????? where no other YouTuber but me will take you!

Join me on this eye-opening journey, as I meet up with a local friend who graciously invites me into his home, shedding light on the challenges and resilience of those who call this place home.

We start the day with fetching water – an essential yet difficult task that locals must face every day. Witness the harsh realities of child labor at a nearby mining site, where we'll interview one of the workers to gain insight into their struggles and aspirations.

As I venture deeper into the slums, explore the intimate living spaces that house these tight-knit families. Learn about the daily hurdles they must overcome, and be moved by their unwavering spirit and determination to survive.

Our Troubles in GUINEA (Conakry)

► SUBSCRIBE for daily travel videos:

After a rough few days in Sierra Leone, we have made it onwards to the next West African country of Guinea (Conakry).

It's been a wild 2.5 days here so far, from the challenging roads to the (once again) disgusting corruption and bribery that we had to deal with. But we made it, after 11 LONG hours of driving 150 miles, to the capital of Conakry.

Initially, we had a great time exploring the fish market at sunrise and then getting secret access inside the 2nd biggest mosque in sub Saharan Africa -- but then things quickly turned bad when thousands of policemen (armed with AK47s, helmets and bullet proof vests) stormed the streets in preparation for the riots which have been destroying the city.

We quickly ran (literally) back to our hotel and called it a day. We didn't leave the hotel anytime afterwards.

This region of the world is tough to travel across, especially in your own vehicle. At each of the dozens and dozens of police checkpoints, we are always pulled over to show our car papers/insurance, and even after we do correctly, the corrupt police will find ANY reason to pick on us (often times, making up some random law) until we pay them off. It makes me sad.

BUT I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS (in case you missed yesterday's video)! THE SIERRA LEONE GOVERNMENT SAW MY VIDEO ABOUT US GETTING SCAMMED AND THEY WENT TO THE BORDER TO ARREST THE 3 GUYS AND NOW THEY ARE IN PRISON! One step closer to making this region a safer place to visit for everyone.

POLICJA I ZŁOTO W TAKSÓWCE DO NOWEGO KRAJU W AFRYCE - GWINEA i SIERRA LEONE

Jeden z trudniejszych etapów podróży po Afryce. Presja, stres, agresywny policjant, biznesmen ze złotem w taksówce. Podróż z Gwinei do Sierra Leone jest pełna przygód. Ten dzień bardzo mocno mnie wyeksploatował. Na drodze usłyszałem takie słowa w kontekście podróży po Sierra Leone: Bracie, tutaj uważaj na siebie, proszę uważaj. Przestroga przed czyhającymi niebezpieczeństwami. Automatycznie włączyła mi się czerwona lampka w głowie. Jak faktycznie będzie w nowym kraju? Czy jest czego się obawiać? Na to pytanie i wiele innych, odpowiedź poznacie w kolejnych odcinkach z nowej serii.

Afryka, policja, złoto, Sierra Leone to brzmi jak niezły bandzior z Podlasia na Czarnym Lądzie.

How Safe Is Sierra Leone for Travel?

Full safety review:

Sierra Leone is located on the West Coast of Africa, sharing its borders with the Republic of Guinea to the north and northeast, Liberia to the east and southeast, while the Atlantic Ocean is to the west and south.

If you’re longing for nature, look no further than the Banana Island, offering natural beauty unlike anywhere in the world and a bunch of underwater and water activities.

Sierra Leone is naturally both rich and diverse.

Overall though many say it is the friendliest African country, the government of this country stands by their attitude that Sierra Leona is not the safest country to visit. It has extremely high crime rates, of both violent and petty crime. You should be vigilant and take all possible precaution measures in order to minimize the risk of something wrong happening.

AVOID Kurt Caz in Cuba!????????

I need to share something that has been haunting me since my recent trip to Cuba. I came across a crazy situation involving the YouTuber, Kurt Caz, and I feel that I must speak up about it. Please bear with me as I'm sharing with you the truth...

Just a couple of months ago, Kurt began posting Cuban videos on Fb,Youtube, tiktok etc that went viral, receiving thousands of shares and views. These videos had a crazy impact on the Cuban people, leaving them shocked and deeply affected.

I'm sad to say this, but so many people in Cuba hate him now. People have been probably imprisoned, and they will likely remain behind bars for years, all because he chose to expose them for his own gain $$.

Even a police officer confessed to me that many of the individuals he exposed are no longer free!!! (I hope it's not true)

During my two-week stay in Cuba, I heard the pain and anger firsthand from locals who couldn't even express their true feelings on my camera. They feared how their words might be edited and worried that it could be perceived as hatred towards the government, risking their own freedom.

Every day wherever I was going, because I was also filming, I listened to their stories, witnessing their hate towards Kurt. .

And really makes no freaking sense!!

Guys you need to understand that Cuba is a unique country!!!!

Why would someone expose these Cuban people who struggle to survive on meager wages?

As YouTubers, we often expose scammers, and I don't support scams or illegal activities. I will personally do the same thing if someone scams me in another country!!

But exposing a scammer in India or Brazil is different from exposing illegal activities in Cuba. In India, the scammer may be upset about being exposed, but the government or police won't take drastic action against them. In Colombia too, filming prostitutes is permissible as it is legal there.

But in Cuba?????
These people are immediately sent to jail for yeaaaars!!

How can a Kurt Caz sleep well at night knowing that he filmed someone for a minute, made thousands of dollars from it, and that poor illegal person will end up spending many years behind bars?

These girls make a mere $10 a month, while he makes thousands from his videos, essentially sealing their fate in prison for years to come. And he even f**cking approached them!!
They didn't bother him!! They didn't harass him.He knew exactly what he was doing and he even said it on his video!!!

Unless you hate humanity…You simply can’t do that!!!

In Cuba, I got scammed within the first hour ($30 for a mojito). I filmed the whole experience and it could easily go viral! Just walking around Havana for 15 minutes, you'll find many scammers, prostitutes, currency exchangers, and illegal cigar sellers. They're everywhere! They come to you; you don't have to seek them out.

But remember, this is Cuba, not the USA or Brazil. In Cuba, anyone who takes advantage of a tourist faces crazy consequences. So, what am I supposed to do?

Expose them??

It's heartbreaking to know that these people are barely making $12 a month, while a simple meal costs $20! They engage in illegal activities simply to survive and put food on the table. They'll never become wealthy.

I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that I made thousands of a poor Cuban scammer..and on the top of that!! I send him to PRISON for Years!! That’s f insane!!

Some people are simply evil. I don't claim to be an angel or perfect, but certain actions are universally condemned unless one harbors hatred towards humanity.

Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of meeting Kurt in person, and I can assure you that he fully hates anyone who doesn't worship him, especially women.

Please understand that I'm not driven by envy or animosity, regardless of his 2 million followers or wealth. It pains me deeply that I once cared for him, supported him, and loved him. He is aware of the impact I’ve had on his life.

I really hope that karma intervenes.

I feel disgusted knowing how Kurt deliberately shared these videos across various platforms: YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Facebook, and even Facebook Reels.

And finally, I want you to know that I really didn't want to post this video. I have my own reasons for not liking Kurt, and I never planned to make a video targeting him. I really hate drama or starting fights on YouTube. All I wanted was to focus on my work and keep making videos.

But when I saw what happened and how Kurt's videos affected the people of Cuba, hearing their stories and seeing their fear of speaking up... It really upset me. And then seeing Kurt share those videos everywhere and the possibility of other YouTubers following suit just for more views... It put me in a tough spot.

Even though it goes against what I wanted, I have a responsibility as a man and as a creator to tell the truth. I have to speak up, even if it means facing the anger from his fans or you guys!

we need to talk.

In the past few days, I’ve been accused of selling peoples’ information, and I have no idea what is going on or how this even started. I would never do such a thing. From what I’m hearing, there seems to be a third-party scammer somewhere out there - so if you’ve been receiving false marketing messages from me, please screenshot and send them to my team (thedrewbinskyteam@gmail.com) and we can get to the root of this problem. So far, I have not seen any concrete examples.

I apologize for not addressing this sooner - I’ve been on the road and shooting some great stories in country #196. I’ll see you guys tomorrow for the first video in my Palau series ????????????

240 HOURS OF INSANITY! (West Africa Road Trip)

► SUBSCRIBE for daily travel videos:
► INSTAGRAM? Join me:

WE JUST COMPLETED THE MOST INSANE 10 day road trip across West Africa!! Wow, I cannot believe how many stories we have to tell for the rest of our lives.

I've been traveling with my Spanish buddy Alvaro, who is now 1 country away from visiting every country in the world, and we both agree that this has been one of the most difficult trips of our lives both mentally and physically. It's a logistical nightmare to plan, not to mention the constant corruption and bribery at every police checkpoint and border crossing.

But we did it.

And looking back already, it was an incredible trip and one for the memories. Thank you to everyone who followed our journey along the way! Many more stories to come from Senegal and then onwards to the Middle East and Central Africa!

Why I Really Don't Like This Country ????????

UPDATE: I WENT BACK TO BRUNEI TO GIVE IT A 2ND CHANCE!

While I constantly try to find the positives in every place I visit, there are a few nations that I just simply didn't enjoy.

The country of BRUNEI is one of them.

I went to Brunei back in 2014, three years before I made videos, but my negative experiences in the country have stuck in my mind ever since. That, combined with its absurd human rights laws such as stoning to death LGBT members, I felt like this video needed to be shared with the world.

Have you ever visited any countries that you didn't enjoy? Please share below, I'm curious to know.

HELLO FROM COUNTRY #172 - ERITREA!

I'm thrilled to be back in Africa where I will spend the remaining 3 months of the year! Many of you probably haven’t heard of Eritrea before and that’s because it’s a relatively new country and it’s notoriously difficult to enter (top 5 in the world). After 48 hours of roaming around the capital of Asmara and the ancient port city of Massawa, I’ve really enjoyed my time here.

I’m getting flashbacks to when I was in Ethiopia, yet also touches of Yemen Somaliland and Italy. Yes - ITALY! Eritrea is a former Italian colony and their influence is remarkably well-preserved in the form of giant cathedrals, pizza parlors, gelato shops, old Italian cars, appertivos and many people can still speak fluent Italiano.

The capital of Asmara is VERY safe, with kind-hearted people and surprisingly the weather is cold here (2,400 meters high). Unfortunately due to WiFi issues, I haven't been able to upload anything until now, but there’s no hurry because life is wonderful here! More to come soon ????????
