Italy, I’ve stayed in a little village called Castel Vittorio, there’s not much to do but it’s a cozy medieval village, then you could drive to Bordighera and walk around in their old town.
It's not though. All things are intertwined. It might help you feel good to say that but ultimately the government are made of people from the country.
@@canismajoris6733 Yes, in Iran an Irish tourist was recently arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison on spy charges because he was taking pictures of the country. This guy sugar-coated A LOT . Saying that a country is safe because nothing happened to him is just a plain fallacy. It can be indeed a beautiful country with nice locals but would you risk getting arrested out of nowhere and being thrown in jail without even a fair trial, just for the sake of "nature and hospitality"? A country may be safe on the a street level, but what do you even do when government itself is the bad guy?
@@rodolfocaires9613 This kind of highlights his point that the government and its people are 2 different things. Of course… I take your point that going there to enjoy the people is not worth the risk of the government
@@canismajoris6733 The government are a small group of extremists, hated by pretty much everyone there. It's like comparing the people of Syria to ISIS when they had taken over land..
I am an Iranian- American and am so glad to see you relay the decency and the charisma of these countries which are on your fav list. I'm So glad Iran is on the list and as much as the American media portrays Iran as a hostile nation, videos like your shows that we are all part of the human corpus and we all want peace and love and a roof over our heads . I love Philippines and it rightfully deserves to be on the top spot. You are an honest visitor and I wish you luck. God Bless
Thanks Drew for spreading the love and clearing out the misconceptions about my country,Iran🇮🇷 It’s such a shame that people around the world are scared to travel there or think of it as a war zone !
@@zahrabl6470 I really wanted to go to Iran but my husband said, that,is not safe for american to go there. Hopefully 🤲🤲 one day everythiimg will be different.
The portion of Afghanistan made me suddenly start crying involuntarily. Seeing those clips and hearing your words made me wish how much I had the opportunity to experience that country the way you did. I spent a couple years cumulatively in Afghanistan as a Marine and then as a contractor, but my experiences were vastly different. Despite being there in a different capacity, one of the things I remember most is how gorgeous that country is, and how varying the terrain is depending on where you are. Sunrises in the mountains and valleys in the Nangarhar & Kunar provinces will always stay with me. I would have loved to see where the Buddha’s stood, but the country was surrounded by history everywhere. I remember coming to land our helicopter at a small FOB south of Kabul and having a guy point to an old structure on top of a small hill and yelling “f*cking Alexander the Great, dude.” I remember taking a picture of the old fort from a distance and thinking how neat it would be to go walk through there and think about the history of that spot. The most kind and deserving people ever. One of my happiest memories is of when we gave a pack full of random books to a local villager in our area. The tears of joy and him wiping them away and asking us to take his picture with us and the books. He was learning English and hoped to come to the U.S. one day with his family. His only way of practicing English was with troops and old pages from magazines and other reading stuff he had collected over time. Giving him that bag of random books was like a pathway to his dream in that moment. It’s interesting now, looking back at all the people you met in what feels like an entirely separate life, and thinking where they’re all at now. How many got out, how many are hiding, how many are dead. All displaced. That said, those are some of the toughest people I’ve ever met so I have hope. Inshallah, right? Thank you for the memories, and I couldn’t be happier that I’ve stumbled across your page.
As a Persian, no offense to you, I found it quite insulting to be said we're similar to Afghans! Vast majority of Iran's population is educated! There are more than 2000 universities all over Iran and some of the best schools of the world like Sharif university. Majority of Iranian either don't believe in Islam and dont identify themselves as Muslim specially among the young generation of Iran (exactly opposite in Afghanistan). Iran's cusine, literature and cultre is incomparable with Afghans and you mentioned it's similar! They're not! Iran government is to blame for all these.
@@EnigmaizerhIf anyone should be offended it should be the Afghani people who were compared to the Iranians. The Afghans are a people who are known to be warriors and unconquered. You do not speak for the majority of Iranians, you only speak for yourself. We know you are a liberal aka lgbtqwxyz supporter and tolerater.
I also served in Afghanistan and traveled all throughout the country. The landscapes are incredible and it breaks my heart knowing that almost every single living soul in that country only knows war.
@@hikingwithhollywood I can relate. I served in Laghman Province and remember on our convoys from Jalalabad and back thinking "man, it would be awesome to come back here on vacation"
Many thanks Drew for mentioning Iran as your second favorite country! I'm from Iran. I've visited 15 cities here and have wonderful memories of all these cities. Countries that I hope get the chance to visit are Australia, Austria, France, Belgium and United kingdom
@@sohelsaheen yes, we dont do many of islamic rituals like saying prayers, early arranged marriage and...most people of big cities in Iran are neither religious nor too traditional. WE DANCE,WE DRINK and We start a romance whenever and whenever we feel like!
@@MojdeMirzaee I see. But why still you are not cut Islam from the name of your country as we see it is Islamic Republic of Iran. May be the village people will resist it?
@@sohelsaheen it's little bit complicated. Majority of Iranians who live in small towns and villages still believe in Islam even if they don't practice it!
The best statement in your video is "The people are different, and the govt is different." Nothing could be more true. I am Indian and our country is having frequent arguments with Pakistan. But wherever I go and I see Pakistani people, they love Indians and they don't view us as enemies. Bottom-line is never ever should politics come in the way we see different people and their countries
I loved Afghanistan, which I visited in 1975. Herat was like stepping back 1000 years, all mud brick buildings, even my hotel, almost no cars, just horse carts and electricity only about four hours per day. I remember falling asleep to the sound of horses pulling their carts. The people were fantastic. They were the most proud, independent people I've ever met and no foreign power can ever invade them successfully. The Russians and Americans were fools to try. I hope this country regains it's freedom soon. I rank it as the most interesting country I've been to, I been to over 110. Can't wait to go back. Turkey, Mexico and the Philippines are also great places. Other countries I loved include Greece, Brazil, Nepal, India, and many more.
Actually the USA was supporting the people and the government. The purpose of the Afghan war, was to rid the country of the taliban. I don't think you want to support the taliban.
I am literally crying tears of joy dear Drew. As a Persian/ Iranian, it is a great honour to be ranked #2 out of 179 countries! Literally amazing! I've always wished more people would come to Iran and discover this ancient gem that literally shaped the world starting 3000 years ago with the Achaemenids, then the Parthians, then the Sassanids, and since the Islamic golden age Persia was the biggest contributor to arts, poetry, architecture, design, science, mathematics and so much more... Thank you Drew I love you from your Iranian brother 😊❤️
We Indians love Iranians too❤. We share a lot in common. Nowadays many Iranians come here to study. Also we have the largest Zorastrian population in the world, and they are our pride(we call them "Parsee"). They have given us gems like Homi Jehangir Bhaba, JRD Tata, Dadabhai Naoroji, Freddie Mercury etc. Love Persian culture, both muslim and non-muslim❤
As an Iranian born, raised there, it makes my heart so happy it's one of your faves. Politics ruined the character of Iran, but beneath that, its exactly as you described it. Cheers. ❤
Despite what some might think, most people in the US want to work towards normalizing relations with Iran. We have a lot of respect for the people of Iran, Persian history and culture. I hope to visit someday.
i could honestly listen and watch drew talk about the different countries he’s been to for hours and hours and i’d never get bored. unfortunately it is very difficult for me to travel, but through your videos i learn so much about different cultures, cuisines, people and landscapes. it’s so interesting, fascinating and important. i really appreciate it! 🙏🏼
@@drewbinsky you’re awesome, Drew & I love how open-minded you are & don’t let western misconceptions dictate your decisions & experiences. That’s why you are greatly appreciated.
I am from Mexico and we have always had the best impression of Lebanese people because we have a sizeable community. They are very good active entrepreneur beautiful people. And it's known for the cedar mountain forests not the deserts. I actually went to Lebanon and fell in love with the country. I want to go back asap.
i am Filipino who works here in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, I was so sad that i was denied for a visa for Lebanon. i really like to visit Lebanon someday. im interested visiting the historical places if given a chance.
Thanks a lot for including Mexico on the list! 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 🇲🇽 There are indeed places to avoid, like anywhere else in the world, but if you travel with someone local who knows where to go, how to get there, and the best things to do, you will have an extraordinary experience. (That's what we do, sorry for the add). Just a clarification, the archaeological site of Teotihuacan is not part of the Mayan culture and not even of the Aztec one. It is older; it thrived until 750 CE, and the people that built it was, no surprise, the Teotihuacans. Later, the Aztecs named it Teotihuacan, meaning the birthplace of the gods. Apologies if someone already wrote this somewhere (there are too many comments!).
@@hockey_highlights_and_more Well the news are known for highlighting the most dramatic events everywhere, and they just want to sell the story. Mexico is perfectly fine to visit, it's just a mater of being a sensible traveller.
Idk pretty sure I heard a gun shot when I was in Tulum. And just recently there was news about a tourist from my country who was listening to music in the garden (in Tulum again) with friends when someone started shooting at them between the fence. She got shot but is alive but a couple of them got killed. That's not something that would happen in my country. (I did like my time in Mexico a lot though)
We traveled for 2 winters to Baja California & the next year to the west side of the mainland. Our family absolutely loves Mexico & even considered moving there, but I'm from the Philippines, so that's where we're heading.
Many Americans understand that. There are many people from Iran in my city and they are generally the nicest people. Governments get in the way of what could be great partnerships; not just America and Iran, but everywhere
@@thesunprostratesduringthen2957 yep definitely not the 40+ year sanctions put on us by the west or the American and British governments couping us multiple times throughout modern history no no its our "7th century religion"
I kinda knew Turkey and Iran would be on your list but was not sure. I am from Iran, Live in U.S. and live part time in Turkey soon to become full time. Iran, U.S. and Turkey have a special place in my heart. Over the years, anyone that has told me they were in Iran as a tourist or maybe working there, have never had one person say they had a bad experience. They all loved it. Love of guests is in our culture. Glad you liked it.
its a great country man. i am turkish and want to be doctor in USA. visiting Iran complicates visa process a lot. so millions cannot visit. its a tragedy
Iran kind of surprised me but then what you said reminded me that the West vilifies them so much. I've met many Iranians as where I live is pretty multicultural and they are all the most amazing people. One of my former coworkers was Iranian and despite it being more than 10 years since I worked at that company I think about him a lot as he left a big impact on my life.
thank you Drew for appreciating the beauty of the Philippines and putting it on top of your list. May you continue exploring the world. We wre with you.God bless!!!
I'm Namibian and so glad to see our country on your list. We are indeed a beautiful and peaceful nation. The Dutch like language you referred to is called Afrikaans. We would be happy to have you in Namibia again Drew.
@@MichouThe I get asked this question quite a lot. It's my father's last name and no he is not english. Its not unheard of for Africans to have english last names.
@@annawilliam2760 Hi! We went to Sossusvlei, climbed the Big Daddy which I think the highest in the world going down to the Dead Vlei, we had the jeep ride by the Atlantic Ocean with the Namib desert going to the Sandwich Harbour, it was AMAZING!!🥰😘 and went ATV riding inside the desert, going to the fossils area, I forgot the name!😁 oh, went to Swakopmund too! We landed in Windhoek before all that!
This guy literally changed my perception towards middle eastern countries. Especially Iran. I started to love Iran more and more. Edit : Great! Now Indians can visit iran without VISA. No hate, just love every country dr friends.
Japan (clean and orderly) and Prague (comfortable and majestic) are 2 countries at the top of my favorites list. I'm partial to South East Asia, otherwise.
@@rubys2980 yes our beautiful country has gone 1000 years backwards, my father used to tell me that there was a time when king Zahir Shah was driving his own car and used to meet people in picnic parks without any body guard, something that doesn’t happen even in the west, he used to say that there was so much peace that you couldn’t hear a single gunfire.
Love Türkiye and Lebanon as well. I've been wanting to go to Iran for a very long time..... for me it represents a fantastic culture. I've had many chance encounters with Iranians visiting Istanbul and they were all outstanding.... Greetings from Europe.
@@classics39 EU is just a political organization just like NATO or UN, when you send greetings from somewhere people generally don’t state the political organization their country is a part of. Also what do you mean by non-immigrant and stuff😂 A Turkish, Albanian, Serbian, Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian person can also send a greeting or any other message from Europe without being an ‘immigrant’. You gotta learn the difference between a continent and politics honey
@@utku_baloglu Too much fantasies, over thinking on your part.... when I am just not exposing my nationality here..... What exactly is it that irks you? A comment, that wasn't even directed at you. Can you pin down, what triggered it? Tell me, maybe I can help you then.
my mom was born in the philippines but then moved to venezuela where she met my dad who was from mexico. Interestingly enough, my dads parents were afgan imigrants who had initially come to live in the us but with all the drama were kicked out to mexico. now i live in japan with my beautiful wife whom i met in turkey, in capadocia, when we were both on holidays with friends. and as you thought i was finished it gets more interesting. my wife is from iran and her parents are lebanese imigrants So thank you drew for including all of my countries in your video and you re welcome any time in the future. stay safe
This video is really making us want to explore the world so much more! Turkey and the Philippines are places we've been longing to go to for ages. Good to hear they live up to the hype!
My favourite country was Greece. I went all over Europe in a 4 month trip and Reece was my favourite. The islands are SO CHEAP and VERY COOL. Definitely recommend to all of you guys.
Never visited Greece really, just here to ask something: I heard from someone that Greece is the best place to visit in the entire world, but also heard it is more expensive than Western Europe for tourists. Is it correct?
@@Papermarioenjoyersince2001 I have never found that in Greece - well certainly not the Greek islands. Cheaper than a lot of Western Europe (including the wine - soooo cheap and good)! Not sure about mainland Greece though - haven't been
I am from México, I have visited 16 countries and my favorites are: Japan, Morocco, Spain, Canada, Italy, Czech Republic, but every country has its beauty, tks Drew for the video, blessings from Mex 👍
It's amazing to know that Iran, Afghanistan, Mexico, Venezuela are included in your list. I have a notion that it is really dangerous to be in these countries. But seeing them in your list makes me wanna visit these places some day.
I love the Philippine people. I have several Filipino friends. Thank you for sharing this video. I learned new things about some countries, like Lebanon and Iran. Love from Canada. 👊🏻
The way u ranked ur favorite countries is magnificent, u literally cared about every small detail in any country, I really love that u mentioned these underrated countries and u showed a whole different aspect of asia and Middle East to the world, keep going u are absolutely doing a great job🤎
Great to see Afghanistan 🇦🇫 in your top three. Glad that you were able to experience the culture, people and were able to connect. My husband is from Afghanistan. Would love to see that country one day
I live in germany but I'm afghan as I was in Afghanistan It was the best time in my whole life germany or Europe is so depressed and the nature the mountains was so wonderful and I feeled soo free to live in Afghanistan it was the best time.in my life :(
As an Irish person I love this video. I have always found Filipino people to be so warm and hard working and have a great sense of humor. To be honest iv met people from all the countries you have mentioned and found them great. I really hope to visit the Philippines one day.
You should visit my country someday. That is one country in the world that you would want to spend a week in but end up staying there for good. I wanna meet my uncle and aunt in Dublin too.
Irish have similar friendly and chatty vibes to Philippines, they're the heart and soul of that part of Europe. Down to earth, not a bunch of stiffs like the Poms haha.
My dad had a shipping office and he told me a story about a Philippine ship which stranded in the coastal regions of Kenya. He looked after them in terms of rations. The condition wasn't however one surprising thing is that they kept on joking and pulling pranks on each other. They loved my dad a lot and once they were back home they even sent gifts for my dad.
Filipinos are so used to disasters that even when the greatest flood in the Philippines happened (see Typhoon Ondoy), the people were still laughing and merrily singing happy birthday to a birthday celebrant even though the first floor of their house was already submerged. The Filipinos know that any disaster that they encounter is just temporary. As long as no one dies (or the house totally destroyed), then there is no need to be depressed.
As an Iranian-American, I find it bittersweet seeing Iran in your top 2 countries. Although I’m thrilled you love the country for its people, cuisine, and history, I’m also sad because the current geopolitical situation prevents me from going. Non-citizens with Iranian blood can be drafted into the army and can be used as the government’s bargaining chips. Inshallah one day I will get to see my grandfather’s birth country 💙🇮🇷
Loved Iran too. Many people had the same shocked reaction when I said I was going, but couldn't stop raving about the place and the hospitality of the people when I got back.
Honestly I wish I had the power to tell the world, We're not who you think we are We're not terrorist we're not strictly religious and we don't hate anyone...
Venezuela truly is magical. There is no place in the world quite like it. It’s been 5 years since I’ve been there, and I want to go back so bad. Even though I was born and raised in the US, as a Venezuelan myself, there’s something about it that gravitates me. It really feels like home. I hope things improve over there, I know I’ll absolutely move there if they do.
I honestly can't imagine, given their regime and current crisis. Can you explain the appeal? I would be afraid to go, and for context I've been to 5 South American countries solo, 3 said to be quite dangerous
@@sleepnomore6065 There is such a strong negativity bias portrayed in the media, especially regarding failed states such as Venezuela. All we seem to hear about from outside the country is how awful it is. What the media does not care to show is the rich culture, lovely people, and beautiful landscapes of Venezuela. A government, no matter how bad it may be does not define the people. In fact, the terrible government has united the people in solidarity against it which I have seen strongly in my own personal circles. We can’t ignore the issues that take place but we shouldn’t dwell on them either. I can’t describe why Venezuela is such a special place. It’s something that must be experienced. I’m not asking you or anyone to visit Venezuela, but I encourage you to look beyond what the media portrays and see a the richness behind my country. Fear might discourage some, but those who live beyond it live the kind of lives that most only dream of.
@@ArmyFrog Unfortunately, the appeal and charm that Venezuela had is either gone or disappearing. Maduro rigged the election and basically half the country has already fled to other countries. I'm not sure what the future will hold for Venezuela, but it doesn't look good.
As someone who’s Mexican (viva México 🇲🇽) and married to a Venezuelan 🇻🇪- this video makes my heart so full & happy! I can’t wait to visit my husband’s homeland and he suggested for your next visit to go to Mérida! And I would say in Mexico go visit Guadalajara because the food is to die for! Love the videos!
I'm new to your channel and I have to admit I let out a squeal when you said #1! I'm Scottish but also half Filipina, so it's my spiritual home and it makes me so happy to hear people appreciating it 🥹🇵🇭
Felt really good to see Afghanistan and Iran to be ranked among top 3 best destinations by someone who had traveled all over the globe. They really deserves to be loved and they're very rich in history, culture and by hearts. Love from Pakistan 🇦🇫❤️🇵🇰❤️🇮🇷
I have no qualms with Iran being up there (heard it's lovely and it has a rich history) but Afghanistan (it has a rich history as well but you just can't overlook the taliban) definitely doesn't sound like a place you should be recommending your viewers to visit...
Proud to be a Filipino, we‘re poor but still manage to smile and happy to offer and share what we have even to strangers- our Christian Way of showing love. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
I’ll never forget my Filipino best friend, he always puts a smile on my face when teaches me guitar, sadly the poor guy passed away one year ago from the damn COVID, rest in peace ferdy
What i like of this video is how Drew literally put countries like Iran, Afghanistan, Venezuela that all the media says they are the worse places in the world and not visit at all, travel all over the world really kills stereotypes
Yep, although these countries may be in unfortunate situations, they are often still amazing places that travellers love. There’s so much more to a country than political situation or poverty. Fully agree
I think he is being quite stupid. Any country where you cant walk around at night with freedom would not make my list. Afghanistan? Really? Its essentially a war zone. Its just plain showing off.
@@charlestownlawfirm5247 Did you even watch the video? He said he wouldnt reccomend it at the moment because of the problems happening now. Nothing show off about that. As for before the taliban takeover he loved it.
Yes, but Drew did great injustice to numerous other countries and not see many counties properly. For example. I love Greece as it has everything a country could have. Drew has Lebanon, Turkey and phillipines in his list. But Greece is literally a perfect combination of these countries combined. And what did he see of Greece? Almost nothing. And this is a metaphor for so many other countries he visited in a very poor way
I agree 100% with Mexico. I went for the first time in 2022 and absolutely fell in love with it. I can’t wait to go back to Mexico. I would love to go more into Mexico and do so much more!!
oh I have visited 124 countries turkey is definitely my favorite country.. they have wonderful beaches best night clubs the people are amazing the best cuisine in the world.. I go every summer.. Antalya , Marmaris, bodrum.. damn I can't wait to go back..
I love how gracious and kind you are about the people of these other countries. As Americans we often get the reputation for being ethnocentric (rightly so, in my opinion), so I appreciate the level of respect you're showing to others. The world is better when we realize how much we have in common and how much we can learn from other cultures.
I didn't expect to see my country Venezuela in this list. Thank you for sharing the side of the country that news don't talk about and enjoying the culture. Unfortunately I had to migrate just like millions of Venezuelans but it makes me feel proud to see you mentioning us in the top 5 and as your fav country in the American Continent!! Thanks! 🇻🇪 💛💙❤
We have the same sad story, shitty Gov, and people who wants to live a normal life. From Iran/Persia. On my behalf pass my love to your people except fucking Madoro.
Wow, thanks that Philippines is your number 1 favourite country. I’m from Philippines and I was born in Bohol. I agreed about what you said about us. We Filipino people are very welcoming, hospitable and even after we had super typhoon we still smile and we are resilient. I can’t wait to visit Iran, Afghanistan and other top 10 countries that you’ve visited. I’ve traveled more than 50 countries but I’ve not explored much in Africa. I’ve been to Japan, Turkey, USA, Canada and most European countries.
I visited 81 countries (on all continents). My favorites so far are: In Europe: Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia In the Americas: Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Dominica (island), Nicaragua and Costa Rica In east Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China and Japan In west Asia: Turkey and Iran (by far the most friendly and warm people I've ever met). In Africa: Tanzania and Kenya There are still 116 countries I haven't visited yet.. but I can already say - we are living on a truly magical planet, with an amazingly diverse humanity living on it.. if only we could grow up and learn how to live together on tye same earth without fighting each other and without trying to benefit only one group over another (only those who carry the same religious-national label as me), but with concern for EVERYONE's well being, then we could be living on a paradise planet, instead of turning it to hell for most to benefit only a few..
Afghans are hospitable indeed. In a country where you have something to offer it's hard not to be hospitable but in a country like Afghanistan where you have nothing to offer and yet you are hospitable without any expectation in return, that is genuine from the heart.
As a half Filipino half Turk, thank you for visiting both my countries! I'm glad we were able to give you good hospitality and see that you had a great time. ❤❤🇹🇷🇵🇭
@@grey17322 have you visited PH? I heard about Turkish food and of course, i love the touristy areas that Drew didnt mention 😁 if not for covid, I would have travelled there in 2020
@@islalakwatsa4730 Yes I have, I've been to the Philippines 4 times and I love it there! It makes me feel at home. And you are always welcome to Turkey, Istanbul and Izmir are the main cities I would recommend to tourists, these cities are the biggest metropolitan cities and you can find all sorts of Turkish cuisine there. (and of course in other provinces)
Iran being the second on the list just tells A LOT!!! Absolutely happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Iran, looking forward to seeing you soon in Iran.
I seriously envy your courage to travel to all these places. I plan to visit most of Europe in the future but seeing you talk about countries like Lebanon, Iran, Turkey, etc. makes me want to visit them first
yes I visited all of them but Turkey is already European. You'll see when you go. It's funny to me that Turkey is even in the same sentence as Iran and Lebanon.
@@emmastan785 Turkey and Iran have similarities. You are sounding like because Turkey is "European" its way better than Iran and you probably heard western media stuff. Iran and Turkey have border and there is Turkish population in Iran.
Thank u!,thank u,thank u Drew for putting my country PHILIPPINES as your top favorite one.It is not because your gf is a filipina but because,Philippines is truly an amazing nation in every way.You will always be one of the Philippine’s adopted son who promotes positivity and diversity in this complex world we are in.Kuddos to you!,..and just do what you love doing!👍👌🥰
What a fantastic video. How positive, well informed, open minded, intelligent, and coming from the heart. And how much respect and humility you show vis-a-via the countries and cultures you visited. I wish more people were carrying your mindset. I haven’t, of course, been to as many country as you have, but none of my favorites made your list - often the immediate neighboring country though. So Czech Republic instead of Hungary, Venezuela instead of Colombia, Lebanon instead of Syria, Namibia instead of South Africa. I agree with you on Turkey and Japan, and I would love to travel to Iran.
My ex is Filipino and introduced me to so much amazing culture, food, etc. I want to go sooooo bad. Thankfully I live in a city where we have a huge Filipino population so there's no shortage of ube and grandma's homemade pancit. The Christmas feasts are seriously to die for.
Umm no it's not...an ube jar only cost around 200ish pesos and no über is know because of Ube halaya and ube bread not to mention ube isn't necessarily rare you can find it on SM for 150P and bakeries for 200 a jar
As an Iranian I've always loved Afghan people and felt close to them.. I feel like pur culture is really close and I'm happy to see us next to eachother in this video. I really am sad for them and for us and I home everything gets better soon.
Iran and Afghanistan are strengthening ties. The railroad connection has been completed so trade will increase between the two countries but also the old silk road from China via AFG Iran Turkey to Europe is being worked on, inshaAllah. Can you imagine traveling to China train via AFG and vice versa? So, let's be optimistic :)
Even though I haven´t been to the Philipines (yet) I agree that Filipino people are some of the nicest people you can met anywhere in the world. So, I would say I agree about the vibe and the environment that you can feel there. BTW: I'm Venezuelan. I wouldn´t have expected that you chose Venezuela as your favorite country in South America! Since many people choose either Colombia or Brazil as their favorite. Thanks for that!
filipino culture are just different , we treat visitors like gold, even we dont have much, we let u eat first, we make sure u have a good shelter to sleep, we give our bed to visitors and we sleep right on the floor, very hospitable and generous. we respect everyone here.
Love the list and honest review! That is why I love drew since then! Always have a great content! Cheers! From WanderPeej (Philippines 🇵🇭living in Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 )
TURKEY has become my favorite country for my vacation. i eat healthy every time i go there and have more time to walk as exercise. their culture is very very rich, many historical places to visit., last time i went there was May of 2016 , the weather was so so amazing and perfect for more walking all day. i miss eating balik ekmek and havig salad everyday. this coming july, i will be there again for my 4rth time yeyyy finally . im very excited to visit again the haigia sofia comflex, ankara, izmir and kappadokia again. and buy many souvenires again.
So glad that you liked my wonderful country Mexico. Mexico is soo much more than nice beaches. First of all, ancient civilizations were born here like olmecas, mayas, aztecas, zapotecas, and we mexicans are heirs of the languages, cuisine, traditions, ruins and cosmovision of those empires, all to be discovered and enjoyed. Colonial arquitecture and art from the spanish domination times are in almost every city or town. And of course in the big cities and beach resorts you can have modernity and night life. Ancient ruins, colonial arquitecture, modern cities, beautiful beaches, jungles, forest, waterfalls, deserts, mountains, diverse cuisine and traditions like Dia de Muertos and the best parties in the world 🇲🇽
Thanks Drew for visiting my Country Venezuela 🇻🇪. It’s time to truly know what Venezuela is, such a beautiful places,lovely people and a perfect climate. I really appreciate it. God bless you! 🙏🏻🇻🇪
This makes me happy, seeing you've included Philippines in your number 1 list, yes Filipinos are friendly, warm and hospitable, and has lots of beautiful islands, beaches... i love the clips you included, it also makes me want to smile with them. Especially that one Filipino guy smiling and dancing haha just good vibes! :) Thanks for this!
I'm from Brazil and I hope one day I'll get to visit each and everyone of these countries. Our world has so much beauty and diversity, nature and people wise.
I think it's sad how most tourists think Brazil is only Rio and SP, when there are so many beautiful places that not even brazilians go to! Lençois Maranhenses, Bonito, Fernando de Noronha, Gramado... I've also been to a cruise in the amazon river that leaves from Manaus and it's amazing, you get to swim with pink dolphins and the food is wonderful of course. You also get to know native indigenous people and see a lot of nature.
@@marianat1393 Wow I think you know Brazil better than I do. Just imagine being in the Amazon rain forest, swiming with "botos" and contacting indigenous population. The food up there is also pretty special. They make fish dishes like no one else. I envy you! You're totally right. Actually, I wouldn't recommend São Paulo to anyone (despite being a cultural hotspot, with great cuisine and entertainment options). There are some places in my bucket list that I hope to visit soon: Chapada Diamantina, Pantanal, Chapada dos Veadeiros, Serra da Capivara, Lençóis Maranhenses and the Northern region. If you are planning a visit to Brazil, then I recommend exploring the beautiful state of Minas Gerais. I went there recently (Diamantina, Belo Horizonte, Serra do Cipó, Santuário do Caraça) and it was one of the best trips of my life.
Thank you Drew!!!! Have been to Costa Rica recently and loved every moment of my trip. People were soooo nice. Some of my favorites are Iceland, Indonesia (Bali), Russia (Moscow), Morocco (Marrakesh) All Southern European countries :D Definitely loved Czech Rep ( Prague), Turkey (Istanbul). And Iran is my second home, I'm glad you like it there. Best wishes in your future travels.
Great video! loved your list, and I hope to visit all of those places one day. My favorite place, hands down, is Greece. So much history, the Greek people are very warm and friendly, (and most understand English) the gorgeous topography and beaches, and, of course, the amazing food! I have been there twice and have seen many different areas, and can not wait to return. My husband and I want to have a small home or apartment there someday for retirement. Keep traveling and sharing your adventures with us. 😊
I'm actually going to the Philippines for one year to help out at a charity project starting this summer, seeing them at #1 makes me more excited to go there!
Love that your favorite country is the Philippines. I'm Filipino and I agree with everything you said, from the people to the islands. I stayed in Mexico for a short while too, and I found a lot of similarities between both people
Nice! We share some countries in common! Here are my top 10 favourites: 1 - Egypt 🇪🇬 2 - Iran 🇮🇷 3 - Australia 🇦🇺 4 - Canada 🇨🇦 5 - Turkey 🇹🇷 6 - Malawi 🇲🇼 7 - Venezuela 🇻🇪 8 - New Zealand 🇳🇿 9 - Oman 🇴🇲 and #10 - Mexico 🇲🇽 Honorable mention to my homeland 🇧🇷💚
I put a smile on my face when I hear positive comments about my country. Everyone is welcome in our little home Mexico 😊 🇲🇽❤️🌍🌎🌏 Also thanks for the good comments about our hispanic brother Venezuela. 🇲🇽❤️🇻🇪
Where I’m from in east Canada, most of us spend our vacation at Mexican resorts or the Caribbean. Unfortunately most don’t leave the resorts so they don’t really experience the country, just the beaches that cater to tourists (I personally haven’t been to Mexico but there’s so many places there I’d love to see)
I’m from Southern California and consider myself lucky to live this close to Mexico. It’s a wonderful country with amazing people. Exploring the towns in the inland mountains is a must for any traveler.
OMG!! THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you so much drew for amazing feedback about our beloved philippines.🥰 I'm sooo proud to become a filipino. I hope you can also visit here in davao city, the no.1 safest city in the philippines. We will tour you around the city, and the nearby island like samal island, one of the famous island here in the philippines. Hope to see you here brother

@@Psycho-th8vb Just one of the best, not THE best. We do not have snow. Unlike Vietnam, it is a tropical country same as the Philippines, yet they have snow there. Filipinos, still needs to travel to Japan, Korea, US, Canada, or Europe just to experience snow. 😁
What are your fav countries? Do we share any in common? :)
mine is Switzerland
Italy, I’ve stayed in a little village called Castel Vittorio, there’s not much to do but it’s a cozy medieval village, then you could drive to Bordighera and walk around in their old town.
Currently in the UAE but my heart will always be home … Namibia !!!!
India

"Government is one thing, People is another thing", simple explanation about my country, Tnx Drew 🙏👍
It's not though. All things are intertwined. It might help you feel good to say that but ultimately the government are made of people from the country.
@@canismajoris6733 Yes, in Iran an Irish tourist was recently arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison on spy charges because he was taking pictures of the country. This guy sugar-coated A LOT . Saying that a country is safe because nothing happened to him is just a plain fallacy. It can be indeed a beautiful country with nice locals but would you risk getting arrested out of nowhere and being thrown in jail without even a fair trial, just for the sake of "nature and hospitality"? A country may be safe on the a street level, but what do you even do when government itself is the bad guy?
You miss the point. Just because government authoritarians are also Iranian, that does not mean Iranians are all authoritarian.
@@rodolfocaires9613 This kind of highlights his point that the government and its people are 2 different things. Of course… I take your point that going there to enjoy the people is not worth the risk of the government
@@canismajoris6733 The government are a small group of extremists, hated by pretty much everyone there. It's like comparing the people of Syria to ISIS when they had taken over land..

Thanks Drew for spreading the love and clearing out the misconceptions about my country,Iran🇮🇷 It’s such a shame that people around the world are scared to travel there or think of it as a war zone !

I really wanted to go to Iran but my husband said, that,is not safe for american to go there. Hopefully 🤲🤲 one day everythiimg will be different.
The portion of Afghanistan made me suddenly start crying involuntarily. Seeing those clips and hearing your words made me wish how much I had the opportunity to experience that country the way you did.
I spent a couple years cumulatively in Afghanistan as a Marine and then as a contractor, but my experiences were vastly different. Despite being there in a different capacity, one of the things I remember most is how gorgeous that country is, and how varying the terrain is depending on where you are. Sunrises in the mountains and valleys in the Nangarhar & Kunar provinces will always stay with me.
I would have loved to see where the Buddha’s stood, but the country was surrounded by history everywhere. I remember coming to land our helicopter at a small FOB south of Kabul and having a guy point to an old structure on top of a small hill and yelling “f*cking Alexander the Great, dude.” I remember taking a picture of the old fort from a distance and thinking how neat it would be to go walk through there and think about the history of that spot.
The most kind and deserving people ever. One of my happiest memories is of when we gave a pack full of random books to a local villager in our area. The tears of joy and him wiping them away and asking us to take his picture with us and the books. He was learning English and hoped to come to the U.S. one day with his family. His only way of practicing English was with troops and old pages from magazines and other reading stuff he had collected over time. Giving him that bag of random books was like a pathway to his dream in that moment. It’s interesting now, looking back at all the people you met in what feels like an entirely separate life, and thinking where they’re all at now. How many got out, how many are hiding, how many are dead. All displaced. That said, those are some of the toughest people I’ve ever met so I have hope. Inshallah, right?
Thank you for the memories, and I couldn’t be happier that I’ve stumbled across your page.
As a Persian, no offense to you, I found it quite insulting to be said we're similar to Afghans! Vast majority of Iran's population is educated! There are more than 2000 universities all over Iran and some of the best schools of the world like Sharif university. Majority of Iranian either don't believe in Islam and dont identify themselves as Muslim specially among the young generation of Iran (exactly opposite in Afghanistan). Iran's cusine, literature and cultre is incomparable with Afghans and you mentioned it's similar! They're not!
Iran government is to blame for all these.
@@EnigmaizerhIf anyone should be offended it should be the Afghani people who were compared to the Iranians. The Afghans are a people who are known to be warriors and unconquered. You do not speak for the majority of Iranians, you only speak for yourself. We know you are a liberal aka lgbtqwxyz supporter and tolerater.
I also served in Afghanistan and traveled all throughout the country. The landscapes are incredible and it breaks my heart knowing that almost every single living soul in that country only knows war.
@@hikingwithhollywood I can relate. I served in Laghman Province and remember on our convoys from Jalalabad and back thinking "man, it would be awesome to come back here on vacation"
Thanks for sharing
Many thanks Drew for mentioning Iran as your second favorite country! I'm from Iran. I've visited 15 cities here and have wonderful memories of all these cities. Countries that I hope get the chance to visit are Australia, Austria, France, Belgium and United kingdom
It' seems a magical and misunderstood country.
Is it true here one Iranian guy here wrote that the young Iranian people do not consider themselves as Muslim?
@@sohelsaheen yes, we dont do many of islamic rituals like saying prayers, early arranged marriage and...most people of big cities in Iran are neither religious nor too traditional. WE DANCE,WE DRINK and We start a romance whenever and whenever we feel like!
@@MojdeMirzaee I see. But why still you are not cut Islam from the name of your country as we see it is Islamic Republic of Iran. May be the village people will resist it?
@@sohelsaheen it's little bit complicated. Majority of Iranians who live in small towns and villages still believe in Islam even if they don't practice it!
The best statement in your video is "The people are different, and the govt is different." Nothing could be more true. I am Indian and our country is having frequent arguments with Pakistan. But wherever I go and I see Pakistani people, they love Indians and they don't view us as enemies. Bottom-line is never ever should politics come in the way we see different people and their countries
Yes I totally agree! Im Pakistani and most of my friends are Indian and their the sweetest, most fun people I know.
Who are these Indians who are so hateful toward Muslims (Including Indian Muslim)?
I loved Afghanistan, which I visited in 1975. Herat was like stepping back 1000 years, all mud brick buildings, even my hotel, almost no cars, just horse carts and electricity only about four hours per day. I remember falling asleep to the sound of horses pulling their carts. The people were fantastic. They were the most proud, independent people I've ever met and no foreign power can ever invade them successfully. The Russians and Americans were fools to try. I hope this country regains it's freedom soon. I rank it as the most interesting country I've been to, I been to over 110. Can't wait to go back. Turkey, Mexico and the Philippines are also great places. Other countries I loved include Greece, Brazil, Nepal, India, and many more.
Actually the USA was supporting the people and the government. The purpose of the Afghan war, was to rid the country of the taliban. I don't think you want to support the taliban.
Afghanistan is now safer than before

I am literally crying tears of joy dear Drew. As a Persian/ Iranian, it is a great honour to be ranked #2 out of 179 countries! Literally amazing! I've always wished more people would come to Iran and discover this ancient gem that literally shaped the world starting 3000 years ago with the Achaemenids, then the Parthians, then the Sassanids, and since the Islamic golden age Persia was the biggest contributor to arts, poetry, architecture, design, science, mathematics and so much more... Thank you Drew I love you from your Iranian brother 😊❤️
We Indians love Iranians too❤. We share a lot in common. Nowadays many Iranians come here to study. Also we have the largest Zorastrian population in the world, and they are our pride(we call them "Parsee"). They have given us gems like Homi Jehangir Bhaba, JRD Tata, Dadabhai Naoroji, Freddie Mercury etc.

There are indeed places to avoid, like anywhere else in the world, but if you travel with someone local who knows where to go, how to get there, and the best things to do, you will have an extraordinary experience. (That's what we do, sorry for the add).
Just a clarification, the archaeological site of Teotihuacan is not part of the Mayan culture and not even of the Aztec one. It is older; it thrived until 750 CE, and the people that built it was, no surprise, the Teotihuacans. Later, the Aztecs named it Teotihuacan, meaning the birthplace of the gods.
Apologies if someone already wrote this somewhere (there are too many comments!).
Mexico was great i don’t know why people think it’s so dangerous, and I stayed at hostels mostly
@@hockey_highlights_and_more Well the news are known for highlighting the most dramatic events everywhere, and they just want to sell the story. Mexico is perfectly fine to visit, it's just a mater of being a sensible traveller.
Idk pretty sure I heard a gun shot when I was in Tulum. And just recently there was news about a tourist from my country who was listening to music in the garden (in Tulum again) with friends when someone started shooting at them between the fence. She got shot but is alive but a couple of them got killed. That's not something that would happen in my country.
(I did like my time in Mexico a lot though)
We traveled for 2 winters to Baja California & the next year to the west side of the mainland. Our family absolutely loves Mexico & even considered moving there, but I'm from the Philippines, so that's where we're heading.

Many Americans understand that. There are many people from Iran in my city and they are generally the nicest people. Governments get in the way of what could be great partnerships; not just America and Iran, but everywhere

Iran kind of surprised me but then what you said reminded me that the West vilifies them so much.

One of my former coworkers was Iranian and despite it being more than 10 years since I worked at that company I think about him a lot as he left a big impact on my life.

As an Irish person I love this video. I have always found Filipino people to be so warm and hard working and have a great sense of humor. To be honest iv met people from all the countries you have mentioned and found them great. I really hope to visit the Philippines one day.
You should visit my country someday. That is one country in the world that you would want to spend a week in but end up staying there for good.
I wanna meet my uncle and aunt in Dublin too.
Irish have similar friendly and chatty vibes to Philippines, they're the heart and soul of that part of Europe. Down to earth, not a bunch of stiffs like the Poms haha.
My dad had a shipping office and he told me a story about a Philippine ship which stranded in the coastal regions of Kenya. He looked after them in terms of rations. The condition wasn't however one surprising thing is that they kept on joking and pulling pranks on each other. They loved my dad a lot and once they were back home they even sent gifts for my dad.
Filipinos are so used to disasters that even when the greatest flood in the Philippines happened (see Typhoon Ondoy), the people were still laughing and merrily singing happy birthday to a birthday celebrant even though the first floor of their house was already submerged.
The Filipinos know that any disaster that they encounter is just temporary. As long as no one dies (or the house totally destroyed), then there is no need to be depressed.
As an Iranian-American, I find it bittersweet seeing Iran in your top 2 countries. Although I’m thrilled you love the country for its people, cuisine, and history, I’m also sad because the current geopolitical situation prevents me from going.

@@sleepnomore6065 There is such a strong negativity bias portrayed in the media, especially regarding failed states such as Venezuela. All we seem to hear about from outside the country is how awful it is. What the media does not care to show is the rich culture, lovely people, and beautiful landscapes of Venezuela. A government, no matter how bad it may be does not define the people. In fact, the terrible government has united the people in solidarity against it which I have seen strongly in my own personal circles. We can’t ignore the issues that take place but we shouldn’t dwell on them either.
I can’t describe why Venezuela is such a special place. It’s something that must be experienced. I’m not asking you or anyone to visit Venezuela, but I encourage you to look beyond what the media portrays and see a the richness behind my country.
Fear might discourage some, but those who live beyond it live the kind of lives that most only dream of.
Venezuela, are you kidding? This guy is joking ir he’s high , that country is a DUMPSTER surrounded by dirty favelas and a lots of ghettos
@@ArmyFrog Unfortunately, the appeal and charm that Venezuela had is either gone or disappearing. Maduro rigged the election and basically half the country has already fled to other countries. I'm not sure what the future will hold for Venezuela, but it doesn't look good.
As someone who’s Mexican (viva México 🇲🇽) and married to a Venezuelan 🇻🇪- this video makes my heart so full & happy!
I can’t wait to visit my husband’s homeland and he suggested for your next visit to go to Mérida! And I would say in Mexico go visit Guadalajara because the food is to die for! Love the videos!
También Taxco y Acapulco! Disculpa, soy de Guerrero viviendo en Tejas. 😂
I'm new to your channel and I have to admit I let out a squeal when you said #1! I'm Scottish but also half Filipina, so it's my spiritual home and it makes me so happy to hear people appreciating it 🥹🇵🇭
Felt really good to see Afghanistan and Iran to be ranked among top 3 best destinations by someone who had traveled all over the globe. They really deserves to be loved and they're very rich in history, culture and by hearts.
Love from Pakistan 🇦🇫❤️🇵🇰❤️🇮🇷
On the other hand, he's a guy. A woman couldn't go there and have the same experience that he did.
FACTS!!!!!!!
I have no qualms with Iran being up there (heard it's lovely and it has a rich history) but Afghanistan (it has a rich history as well but you just can't overlook the taliban) definitely doesn't sound like a place you should be recommending your viewers to visit...
@@shaaravguha3760 I agree. Although as a female, I'm not sure what Iran is like to visit, especially if you are alone.
@@bingonamo7520’ve heard of many women going there and having no problems whatsoever. Not sure how it is now

Have you visited all of them?
Turkey is the best no doubt. Türkıye çok güzel
@Anish Kumar yes.
Can we all appreciate the fact that Drew Binsky never disappointed us with his content 👍👍👍
What i like of this video is how Drew literally put countries like Iran, Afghanistan, Venezuela that all the media says they are the worse places in the world and not visit at all, travel all over the world really kills stereotypes
A bot copied your comment
Yep, although these countries may be in unfortunate situations, they are often still amazing places that travellers love. There’s so much more to a country than political situation or poverty. Fully agree
I think he is being quite stupid. Any country where you cant walk around at night with freedom would not make my list. Afghanistan? Really? Its essentially a war zone. Its just plain showing off.
@@charlestownlawfirm5247 Did you even watch the video? He said he wouldnt reccomend it at the moment because of the problems happening now. Nothing show off about that. As for before the taliban takeover he loved it.
Yes, but Drew did great injustice to numerous other countries and not see many counties properly. For example. I love Greece as it has everything a country could have. Drew has Lebanon, Turkey and phillipines in his list. But Greece is literally a perfect combination of these countries combined. And what did he see of Greece? Almost nothing.
And this is a metaphor for so many other countries he visited in a very poor way
I agree 100% with Mexico. I went for the first time in 2022 and absolutely fell in love with it. I can’t wait to go back to Mexico. I would love to go more into Mexico and do so much more!!
oh
I have visited 124 countries turkey is definitely my favorite country.. they have wonderful beaches best night clubs the people are amazing the best cuisine in the world.. I go every summer.. Antalya , Marmaris, bodrum.. damn I can't wait to go back..
I love how gracious and kind you are about the people of these other countries. As Americans we often get the reputation for being ethnocentric (rightly so, in my opinion), so I appreciate the level of respect you're showing to others. The world is better when we realize how much we have in common and how much we can learn from other cultures.
I didn't expect to see my country Venezuela in this list. Thank you for sharing the side of the country that news don't talk about and enjoying the culture. Unfortunately I had to migrate just like millions of Venezuelans but it makes me feel proud to see you mentioning us in the top 5 and as your fav country in the American Continent!!
Thanks! 🇻🇪 💛💙❤
Saludos chamooo
Saludos de un Mexicano a un Venezolano que los dos tenemos muchas ideas erróneas de nuestros países!
I'm Brazilian and I'm very eager to visit your country, I'm just waiting for some political stability. This video made me even more curious.
We have the same sad story, shitty Gov, and people who wants to live a normal life. From Iran/Persia. On my behalf pass my love to your people except fucking Madoro.
Wow, thanks that Philippines is your number 1 favourite country. I’m from Philippines and I was born in Bohol. I agreed about what you said about us. We Filipino people are very welcoming, hospitable and even after we had super typhoon we still smile and we are resilient. I can’t wait to visit Iran, Afghanistan and other top 10 countries that you’ve visited. I’ve traveled more than 50 countries but I’ve not explored much in Africa. I’ve been to Japan, Turkey, USA, Canada and most European countries.
I visited 81 countries (on all continents). My favorites so far are:
In Europe: Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia
In the Americas: Peru, Cuba, Mexico, Dominica (island), Nicaragua and Costa Rica
In east Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China and Japan
In west Asia: Turkey and Iran (by far the most friendly and warm people I've ever met).
In Africa: Tanzania and Kenya
There are still 116 countries I haven't visited yet.. but I can already say - we are living on a truly magical planet, with an amazingly diverse humanity living on it.. if only we could grow up and learn how to live together on tye same earth without fighting each other and without trying to benefit only one group over another (only those who carry the same religious-national label as me), but with concern for EVERYONE's well being, then we could be living on a paradise planet, instead of turning it to hell for most to benefit only a few..
Everyone I know that's been to Peru describes it as one of the best places to go.
Dis you visit Sri Lanka ?
Peru is next on my list I have high expectations
Thank you for your kindness toward Iranians 🙂🌹
@@BigShowGunnoe wow welcome to Iran
Afghans are hospitable indeed. In a country where you have something to offer it's hard not to be hospitable but in a country like Afghanistan where you have nothing to offer and yet you are hospitable without any expectation in return, that is genuine from the heart.
As a half Filipino half Turk, thank you for visiting both my countries! I'm glad we were able to give you good hospitality and see that you had a great time. ❤❤🇹🇷🇵🇭
What a great combo you got there!
Where do you reside? Turkey or PH?
@@islalakwatsa4730 I was born and raised in Turkey
@@grey17322 have you visited PH? I heard about Turkish food and of course, i love the touristy areas that Drew didnt mention 😁 if not for covid, I would have travelled there in 2020
@@islalakwatsa4730 Yes I have, I've been to the Philippines 4 times and I love it there! It makes me feel at home.
And you are always welcome to Turkey, Istanbul and Izmir are the main cities I would recommend to tourists, these cities are the biggest metropolitan cities and you can find all sorts of Turkish cuisine there. (and of course in other provinces)
Been to Philippines. Such a beautiful country and what friendly folks. They are the most friendly people in the whole world.
Too friendly lol most the nurses sleep with Inmates in Prison haha

Iran being the second on the list just tells A LOT!!!
Absolutely happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Iran, looking forward to seeing you soon in Iran.
I seriously envy your courage to travel to all these places. I plan to visit most of Europe in the future but seeing you talk about countries like Lebanon, Iran, Turkey, etc. makes me want to visit them first
yes I visited all of them but Turkey is already European. You'll see when you go. It's funny to me that Turkey is even in the same sentence as Iran and Lebanon.
@@emmastan785 Turkey and Iran have similarities.
You are sounding like because Turkey is "European" its way better than Iran and you probably heard western media stuff.
Iran and Turkey have border and there is Turkish population in Iran.
@@emmastan785I have been too both Lebanon is better than Turkey
Thank u!,thank u,thank u Drew for putting my country PHILIPPINES as your top favorite one.It is not because your gf is a filipina but because,Philippines is truly an amazing nation in every way.You will always be one of the Philippine’s adopted son who promotes positivity and diversity in this complex world we are in.Kuddos to you!,..and just do what you love doing!👍👌🥰
What a fantastic video. How positive, well informed, open minded, intelligent, and coming from the heart. And how much respect and humility you show vis-a-via the countries and cultures you visited. I wish more people were carrying your mindset.
I haven’t, of course, been to as many country as you have, but none of my favorites made your list - often the immediate neighboring country though. So Czech Republic instead of Hungary, Venezuela instead of Colombia, Lebanon instead of Syria, Namibia instead of South Africa.
I agree with you on Turkey and Japan, and I would love to travel to Iran.
My ex is Filipino and introduced me to so much amazing culture, food, etc. I want to go sooooo bad. Thankfully I live in a city where we have a huge Filipino population so there's no shortage of ube and grandma's homemade pancit. The Christmas feasts are seriously to die for.
They are open for tourism now. Let's gooooo
Idk i find your profile pic hilarious 😂
Ube is not even common food in the Philippines. It is expensive most Filipinos can’t afford it. The ube is only known because of an ice cream flavor.
Umm no it's not...an ube jar only cost around 200ish pesos and no über is know because of Ube halaya and ube bread not to mention ube isn't necessarily rare you can find it on SM for 150P and bakeries for 200 a jar
Love UBE so much
I almost cried when you mentioned México, thank you for that! It is truly a gem of a place!! Viva México 💚🤍❤
Viva la México from the USA
Been to Mexico several times and its a beautiful country just south of the border from my home in California.
And that’s why you’re the Philippines’ most favorite travel vlogger ❤️
As an Iranian I've always loved Afghan people and felt close to them..
I feel like pur culture is really close and I'm happy to see us next to eachother in this video. I really am sad for them and for us and I home everything gets better soon.
Iran and Afghanistan are strengthening ties. The railroad connection has been completed so trade will increase between the two countries but also the old silk road from China via AFG Iran Turkey to Europe is being worked on, inshaAllah. Can you imagine traveling to China train via AFG and vice versa? So, let's be optimistic :)
Even though I haven´t been to the Philipines (yet) I agree that Filipino people are some of the nicest people you can met anywhere in the world. So, I would say I agree about the vibe and the environment that you can feel there. BTW: I'm Venezuelan. I wouldn´t have expected that you chose Venezuela as your favorite country in South America! Since many people choose either Colombia or Brazil as their favorite. Thanks for that!
filipino culture are just different , we treat visitors like gold, even we dont have much, we let u eat first, we make sure u have a good shelter to sleep, we give our bed to visitors and we sleep right on the floor, very hospitable and generous. we respect everyone here.
Love the list and honest review! That is why I love drew since then! Always have a great content! Cheers! From WanderPeej (Philippines 🇵🇭living in Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 )
TURKEY has become my favorite country for my vacation. i eat healthy every time i go there and have more time to walk as exercise. their culture is very very rich, many historical places to visit., last time i went there was May of 2016 , the weather was so so amazing and perfect for more walking all day. i miss eating balik ekmek and havig salad everyday. this coming july, i will be there again for my 4rth time yeyyy finally . im very excited to visit again the haigia sofia comflex, ankara, izmir and kappadokia again. and buy many souvenires again.
Go to black sea region in Turkey its beautiful
Lol eating healthy in turkey, I always gain some weight because I can't resist their greasier cuisine. Have you ever visited Didim?
@@Undertale_1111 yeah the black sea region is underrated it's so green and blue and has its own unique cuisine
as an iranian,i'm so happy that you liked our country:) love ur vids!💕
Iran seems a very interesting country.
@@GreatCityAttractions it is interesting.
So glad that you liked my wonderful country Mexico.
Mexico is soo much more than nice beaches. First of all, ancient civilizations were born here like olmecas, mayas, aztecas, zapotecas, and we mexicans are heirs of the languages, cuisine, traditions, ruins and cosmovision of those empires, all to be discovered and enjoyed. Colonial arquitecture and art from the spanish domination times are in almost every city or town. And of course in the big cities and beach resorts you can have modernity and night life.
Ancient ruins, colonial arquitecture, modern cities, beautiful beaches, jungles, forest, waterfalls, deserts, mountains, diverse cuisine and traditions like Dia de Muertos and the best parties in the world 🇲🇽
Thanks Drew for visiting my Country Venezuela 🇻🇪. It’s time to truly know what Venezuela is, such a beautiful places,lovely people and a perfect climate. I really appreciate it. God bless you! 🙏🏻🇻🇪
This makes me happy, seeing you've included Philippines in your number 1 list, yes Filipinos are friendly, warm and hospitable, and has lots of beautiful islands, beaches... i love the clips you included, it also makes me want to smile with them. Especially that one Filipino guy smiling and dancing haha just good vibes! :) Thanks for this!
Drew's fiance is Filipina 😊
197 countries and Iran was #2. Amazing, thank you for sharing. You definitely got a new subscriber.
I'm from Brazil and I hope one day I'll get to visit each and everyone of these countries. Our world has so much beauty and diversity, nature and people wise.
And I hope to visit your beautiful country one day!! I have always, since I was a little kid, wanted to travel to Brazil!
Brazil is one of my favorite countries.
I think it's sad how most tourists think Brazil is only Rio and SP, when there are so many beautiful places that not even brazilians go to! Lençois Maranhenses, Bonito, Fernando de Noronha, Gramado... I've also been to a cruise in the amazon river that leaves from Manaus and it's amazing, you get to swim with pink dolphins and the food is wonderful of course. You also get to know native indigenous people and see a lot of nature.
@@marianat1393 Wow I think you know Brazil better than I do. Just imagine being in the Amazon rain forest, swiming with "botos" and contacting indigenous population. The food up there is also pretty special. They make fish dishes like no one else. I envy you! You're totally right. Actually, I wouldn't recommend São Paulo to anyone (despite being a cultural hotspot, with great cuisine and entertainment options). There are some places in my bucket list that I hope to visit soon: Chapada Diamantina, Pantanal, Chapada dos Veadeiros, Serra da Capivara, Lençóis Maranhenses and the Northern region. If you are planning a visit to Brazil, then I recommend exploring the beautiful state of Minas Gerais. I went there recently (Diamantina, Belo Horizonte, Serra do Cipó, Santuário do Caraça) and it was one of the best trips of my life.
As a Pilipino watching your vlogs, I cant believe that Philippines is number 1. Thank you for appreciating us . Amazing! 😍
Thank you Drew!!!! Have been to Costa Rica recently and loved every moment of my trip. People were soooo nice. Some of my favorites are Iceland, Indonesia (Bali), Russia (Moscow), Morocco (Marrakesh) All Southern European countries :D Definitely loved Czech Rep ( Prague), Turkey (Istanbul). And Iran is my second home, I'm glad you like it there. Best wishes in your future travels.
Great video! loved your list, and I hope to visit all of those places one day. My favorite place, hands down, is Greece. So much history, the Greek people are very warm and friendly, (and most understand English) the gorgeous topography and beaches, and, of course, the amazing food! I have been there twice and have seen many different areas, and can not wait to return. My husband and I want to have a small home or apartment there someday for retirement. Keep traveling and sharing your adventures with us. 😊
I'm actually going to the Philippines for one year to help out at a charity project starting this summer, seeing them at #1 makes me more excited to go there!

Mexico is getting a lot of love from travellers right now! I mean, it usually is but now more than ever!
Where I’m from in east Canada, most of us spend our vacation at Mexican resorts or the Caribbean.
