American blogger Drew Binsky announced on Instagram that he's stuck in Pakistan amid tensions between India and Pakistan. He said he's doing alright and he loves Pakistan, urging both countries to make peace not war. Binsky is a travel vlogger who was recently in India and experienced "the worst business class" flight.
"I’m stuck in Pakistan right now due to the conflict with India, and all airports are closed. Thanks for all your thoughts and messages - I’m doing okay! I love this country and excited to continue exploring the Northern regions until I can get out," Drew Binksy wrote in his post.
In the voiceover, he described a protest that was going on at the place where he was when he was taking the video. He also said people are mostly unbothered there though it was "pretty crazy feeling for her" to be in Pakistan this time.
“I’m actually up here in the north, near Kashmir, which is the tense region," he said. “It’s pretty crazy to be here right now. I’ve been receiving thousands of text messages and calls from you guys from reaching out. Thank you so much. I just want to let you know that I am safe. It’s a pretty crazy feeling to be stuck in a country where all the borders are closed," he said. “People here are pretty unbothered by what’s going on. Shops are open… just another day in the life here," he added.
He was supposed to fly back to the United States from Islamabad this weekend.
In December, Binsky called out Air India as he took a London to Amritsar flight. He aid there were broken seats, unclean surroundings and poor service. "Can you believe I paid $750 to upgrade for this? I'll never be flying Air India again!" wrote Drew in his Instagram post.
Drew Binsky was born in Dallas, Texas, and was raised in Arizona. Binsky graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2013 with degrees in economics and entrepreneurship. His study abroad in Prague sparked his travel passion. He also taught English in Seoul, South Korea, for 18 months, traveling to 20 Asian countries and earning a black belt in Taekwondo. He started full-time traveling in 2015 after a solo trip across India. He has visited all 197 UN-recognized countries, completing this goal on October 29, 2021 in Saudi Arabia.
