He spent 18 months teaching there, earned his black belt in Taekwondo and traveled to 20 countries in Asia during that time.

In 2015, he quit his teaching job and began focusing on traveling full-time,[7] starting with a 3-month solo trip across India.

[7] In 2017, his girlfriend at the time, Deanna Sallao, bought him a camera when they moved to Hanoi, Vietnam, which prompted him to create and begin posting videos on his YouTube channel (also called "Drew Binsky").

[5] He has over 12 million followers on social media and holds two Guinness World Records: visiting the most UNESCO Heritage sites in a 24-hour period and for quickest suitcase packing.

[14] In October 2019, Binsky met Zablon Simintov, who was thought to be the only remaining Jew still living in Afghanistan at the time, and featured him in a video that accumulated over 1 million views.

[15][16] His channel's three most viewed videos depict his encounters with Wim Hof in the Netherlands, the "tallest people in the world" in South Sudan, and Thai Ngoc—a man who claims to have not slept since 1962—in Vietnam.
