I had not heard of the author (apparently he has an online presence) but I enjoyed his passion for visiting all of the countries in the world. Covid put a pause in his goal, but he is making up for it now! He gives tips on how to stay safe while traveling and really experience the local context. I appreciated his tips and enthusiasm! I probably will not visit many of the places he talked about, but I did enjoy being an armchair traveler reading about his adventures. A good book that I would buy for my son (who is in his 20"s) before he embarks on traveling to other countries.

Thank you to Netgalley and BenBella Books for an ARC and I voluntarily left this review.

In exchange for an advanced copy of Just Go by Drew Binsky, I was to provide honest feedback about the book.

Just Go, by Drew Binsky, discusses how travel to most parts of the world can be done with relative safety if you follow certain tips Drew provides. One of the very few people to have visited every country in the world, Drew has found himself in unsettling situations at times, and he uses his experience to provide advice for others considering to visit what are are deemed “dangerous” areas that many travelers may not even consider traveling to. Although I will most likely keep my own travels to the more developed areas of the world, I did find some advice that is important for safe travel anywhere. I was able to live vicariously through some of his stories, and I wish there had been more detailed stories included of far-off lands many of us will never be able to experience first-hand for ourself.

I would first like to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Overall, I really enjoyed this book! As someone who has always thought of herself as pretty adventurous, the author definitely impressed me with all of his stories of places he’s been and experiences he’s had. i also appreciate his outlook on travel — that it’s a way to access our shared humanity, gain confidence, and learn about other places beyond what western media tells us. that’s exactly why i love to travel so much. no matter who you are, this book will definitely inspire wanderlust in you and give you practical advice on how to actually get to these places. i will be looking at flights right after finishing this review.

A good handbook that gives tips and advice about traveling. As a middle age woman I would have liked this more in my 20s, and still feel many places are not the best for a woman alone, but still... Good read and one I recommend if you want to travel to other countries.

Just Go by YouTuber Drew Binsky is about Drew's global adventures and tips to get the best from your travels. He has visited all 197 countries, after all, and did so by the age of thirty. The book is jam-packed with gorgeous photographs and the layout is easy to follow.

Amongst other topics, he includes visas (extremely difficult for Venezuela), cultures, scams, food, openness to learn, packing and people. He encourages travelers to be safe, social and spontaneous and to find similarities. Hearing how locals view your home country is fascinating. As an international travel, I agree 110%. There is nothing like travel adventures...they prompted my husband and I to make a huge move to a different continent and culture.

Binsky describes many of his most impactful and memorable adventures such as his favourite destination (one of mine, too), hospitality of the Middle East, "dangerous" countries, jungle tribes, chocolate hills of the Philippines, and salt flats of Bolivia. He even provides vlogging tips. I like his three rules for big adventures as well. What makes this travel book stand out are anecdotes, photography and unique experiences. Often it's the little unexpected details which create lasting memories.

My sincere thank you to BenBella Books and NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy of this inspiring and encouraging book.

I received a free copy of, Just Go., by Drew Binsky, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have never heard of Drew Binsky before, apparently he is a popular Youtube and content creator. I just like to read about travel, Drew gives good bside tips on travel, what to pack, how to feel safe, avoid (as much as you can) being scammed, tips on language, how to socialize, etc. This is a real good read, I fond it to be interesting and helpful.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Drew Binsky is my favorite travel vlogger. I admire him as a traveler and appreciate his genuine enthusiasm, curiosity, and desire to meet people around the world. These qualities are evident in his travel videos and I was looking forward to seeing them reflected in this book too. Alas, my digital ARC was not so easy to read which means I will be picking up a hard copy of Drew's book when it comes out BUT it must be said that the photos are amazing, there are lots of them, and they make me want to quit my job, grab my passport, and head to any of the `121 countries I haven't been to. yet NOW. His travel advice is down to earth, practical, and helpful particularly if you have aspirations of travel vlogging yourself.

This was such an enjoyable read. The book includes travel advice as well as stories from some of Binsky’s adventures around the world. Any kind of traveler can benefit from this book as it inspires and furthers wanderlust. I especially appreciated the stories about some countries I do not plan to travel to, which is one of the main reasons why Binsky is such a valuable voice. Through his passion, Binsky distinguishes governments from people and shows more similarities among people than not while still celebrating other cultures. I am eager to check out his videos now!

Thank you NetGalley and BenBella Books for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

This book is different from other travel books because of how spontaneous this guy is. Binsky says he doesn't always have reservations at every place and that's how he has such great adventures. He also talks to people to learn the best ways to see the most unique and beautiful sites in different locations.
Not all of these adventures are for everyone -- as an older woman, I'm positive I wouldn't be able to do some of these things for several reasons. But the advice in this book could make anyone's travel experiences better.
Most people don't travel enough, and this book is a great argument that great experiences are not totally out of reach. I'm inspired, and I'm going to try to decide what I should do next.
Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I have been a HUGE Drew Binsky fan for a long time and have followed his YouTube channel. I’ve always enjoyed his down to earth approach on traveling the world and his core value that we are all the same, no matter where you come from.

I could not wait to get my hands on this book the minute I heard it was coming out. It was a wonderful insight into how Drew travels and the things that make his storytelling unique. I highly recommend this for anyone who is a Drew Binsky fan or anyone who’s looking to travel more and broaden their horizons.

Have you ever wanted to travel the world connecting with locals? Drew Binsky, one of the youngest people in history to visit all 197 countries in the world, wrote a guide called Just Go, to help people learn how to travel the world like a pro. In Just Go, Drew covers safety tips and preparedness tricks. One of his pro tips is "find reputable touring companies." One of the most important things I learned from the book is that you can actually get a passport from more than one country, and certain passports can get you into some countries that other passports cannot. Drew has incredible insight to traveling, and that is because he has lived it by impressively going to all 197 countries around the world. In Just Go, Drew gives a packing list and tips on using ChatGPT or asking a friend on how to find your next big adventure. He also shares how to say "thank you" around the world, which can help you be more friendly when conversing with the locals in whichever country you travel to. Throughout the book, Drew shares his adventures and his photos from his journey around the world, and he gives his best tips for being a travel vlogger. If you are looking for a book that gives you the inside scoop on traveling the world, this book is for you. I give this book five out of five stars, and I definitely recommend this to anyone looking for their next adventure. I might just try that challenge of asking ChatGPT what adventures I should try next.

I couldn't put this down. Drew Binsky is currently the youngest person to have visited all 197 countries in the world (a feat he accomplished by age 31). As someone who does not spend a lot of time on Youtube, I found myself curious to look into Binsky's popular videos that he references throughout. Binsky pairs travel advice with anecdotes of his experiences in a way that is truly inspiring. The thesis, in short, is that most of humanity is good, and that by opening ourselves up to the world and its inhabitants, we will see just how much we have in common. A true must-read for avid travelers or for those who are just looking to read about someone else's adventures.
