I CAN'T BELIEVE I MADE IT TO PALAU - COUNTRY #195!!! 🇵🇼 Only 2 countries left (Jamaica & Saudi Arabia) until I can officially say that I've visited every country in the world!
It feels wonderful to be back on the road again, after a few months of hanging back in the U.S. This trip to Palau is one that I've been looking forward to for a LONG TIME, and finally -- after an 18 month delay due to closed borders -- I was on one of the first commercial flights back to this lovely Pacific Island nation.
And guess what? I had the chance to meet the President of Palau at his office! He gave me 2 hours of his time and I was able to ask him so many of my burning questions.
What an adventure my first few days in Palau have been, and I can't wait to show you more of this pristine country over the next 4 weeks. Trust me when I tell you that these stories are going to blow your mind!

Wode maya... you are one of our own man... Greetings from Nairobi Kenya
yeah man!!! he's a cool dude!!! I miss you bro, need to go back to Ghana soon
Wow American, Korean, and Filipino products in that store? Must’ve felt like home for you!
Someone's been to Lee Lee's international market in Chandler.
Its because not enough is produced on the island, this led to high obesity rates in these types of island nations
Good to see you here, keep up your awesome content too 👍
Because Palau Is close to Guam and the Philippines
@@user-ko1vi6px9s Besides, Palau and Guam is also part of the First Philippine Republic
I've never been to Palau but traveled 20 countries, some very small that people ask "where is that?" I love that the president of Palau is taking this opportunity to share his country to the world a bit more.
It’s underated
@@tomenation9646 its an island nation
“I’m gonna meet the president. I should probably have pants on right” 😂
It's because he's very used to shorts
@@jasonwilliamtjandra exactly
Was expecting Drew to be in Formals 😇, both were chilled out 🙌🏼
What timestamp did he say that
@@therealextra1 1:22
I would've been the first leader of a country to meet you if I didn't have such a busy schedule. But you know how much I adore my fans like you so I'm sure you understand
Hehe boii
bad boi
Ur all over his vids lol
@@fahimome2582 Hi
bro hows the progress on the nuclear bomb
English is the second official language in Palau. Thousands of Palauans live in the US and serve in the US military without giving up their citizenship (and without the need to obtain a visa or green card). The US is their closest ally and many things in Palau are modeled after the US, as is the capital building you saw in this clip. All the while, maintaining their traditions and passing down thousands of years of culture to their youth. Part of this is the immensely important task of preserving the pristine environment.
All thanks to the compact agreement of free association.
Imagine being Drew's grandchildren and hear about all his adventures 💙💜
and his recent scamming
@@joewymn1232 what did he do? Mention it.
@fleshnbone187 he made a video about it he didn’t just ignore it
@@jimmoefoe1471 czcams.com/video/iV9yINxyrZI/video.html this is the vid he explains it
@fleshnbone187 your wrong it was very true and under the advice of his lawyer he put up a video to save himself from legal troubles
I love how the president actually seem like he cares about the enviornment!
He kinda has to. The country is too small to destroy it without immediate repercussions
Truly RARE
Every Palauan does, including the President.
@@TheJangel1965 That is good to hear!
Those pacific islands are in extremely dangerous, they might not exist in the next 30 years due to climate changes and sea level rising.
The president of Palau 🇵🇼 is very humble and I think he deserves more genuine love and respect from the world 🌎 ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇲🙏
😀😊 yes
Palauan here! Can’t wait for more vids of your Belau adventures. Thank you for featuring our island home! 🇵🇼🙌
Alii palauan sister
Alii Drew I’m Palauan but currently reside in the United States thanks for covering us we are super underrated🇵🇼
I somehow became friends with half the island of Palau because they moved to the SF bay lol
Same
Palau is definitely my favourite country top 5! Love from Estonia!
🇪🇪❤️🇵🇼
Estonia can into nordic
Love from Palau🇵🇼
Estonia is a little bit bigger than Palau
hi Estonia! I'm your neighbor, latvia🇱🇻
@@OneChance9942 more than a little bit
It’s such a beautiful country. They’re truly blessed
Semi country
I love how President Whipps and Drew are dressed the same
I was thinking exactly the same!!
I was just looking at their outfit and comparing
Palau is one of the countries on my bucket list!
I wonder why it's called a "bucket list" 🤔
@@Unknowngfyjoh cause bucket has lots of space and can hold numerous quantities😊
It's amazing there! Best time of my life when I went to go visit my family over there in the islands
@@Unknowngfyjoh bucket comes from 'kick the bucket' it means all the things you want to so before you die
@@Unknowngfyjoh Because the list is a bucket. XD
This is amongst your best work! The airport arrival, unreal scenery, meeting a sitting president, holy damn! You deserve it after taking a week of thrashing in the comments. I can’t wait to get back out travelling, inspired!
czcams.com/video/CBWI5eBXGVE/video.html Unbelievable.
I went to Palau in 2017 to open the country's first skydiving center with a friend and the main investor who runs fish n fins scuba shop. What a MAGICAL place man. So so so pretty. Was there for 7 months and did over 50 scuba dives and 200 skydives. I'll never forget the love of the Palaun people. I must return. So cool you got to fly in our old jump plane and dive around with Udi! Great memories with that crew!
The president seems like a really good person! I would love to visit one day! Thankyou for showing palau to us!
Congrats on making it to Palau! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
czcams.com/video/CBWI5eBXGVE/video.html Unbelievable.
Wow! I really fell in love with this country ❤️❤️
Love you Palau 🇵🇼 from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
s h u t u p !!!!
HUGE respect to Palau´s president! Palau is very beautiful country!
I would count Hawaii only if you actually left the airport and ventured into Honolulu. Since you were simply at an outdoor section of the airport, it doesn't count
For example, back in 2011 although I had a layover at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson, I don't count it as a visit to Georgia since I didn't venture into Atlanta
You need to do a proper visit to Hawaii to complete your 50 states...it's what that state deserves. The state is a gem of culture and natural beauty
I live in Atlanta and yeah tho airport is not too far and you can see the skyline it wouldn’t really count.
I'm in love with Polynesian countries, so so interesting. Love and Peace to the people of Palau 🇵🇼
czcams.com/video/CBWI5eBXGVE/video.html Unbelievable
Its a Micronesian country
@@guccigandalf1395 what's the difference
@@somewhere2remember It's like saying I'm in love with doritos while you're enjoying a chocolate. Both are food but not the same and even though it taste good together is still not the same. 😅
Palau is in Micronesia a north eastern sector of the Pacific Ocean while Polynesia is southern part of the Pacific.
@@Gabsengeii thanks, I guess you're having Doritos this Sunday afternoon 😀 Peace and Bless to you.
I like the country, the president seems like a normal guy, it's like your friendly neighbour that decides to run for presidency and win, he's charismatic and yeah, love from Indonesia and stay strong Palau
I wish more countries truly cared about the nature on our beautifull planet. Hearing that president speak is like a breath of fresh air.
We truly cared about the nature and our beautiful islands! We always say this island is not belongs to us it’s belongs to our younger generations. ✊🏾 so let’s continue to preserve the best!!! 🇵🇼
love PALAU 🇵🇼 from ITALY 🇮🇹.
🇮🇹❤️🇵🇼
Really lookin forward to this series!! 🇵🇼
Hehe Boi
I now have Palau on my list! I have to swim with those jelly fish & that gorgeous ocean! 🙌🏻
Wow... i've just added Palau to my bucket list of countries to travel. Thanks for sharing this video Drew and thanks to Palau President. He looks so cool😊
Palau 🇵🇼 is about to have many visitors in next few months & the reason behind that would define be DREW . Thanks a lot .
Thanks for Visiting my Island 🇵🇼
My pleasure!
Drew then: All politicians, every single one of them, desire nothing but power and control.
Drew now: YAY I met a president!
Well, his statement was wrong and I'm glad that he can now realize it. I mean, all presidents desire power and control. Why? Because they want a political agenda and they want to achieve it. It doesn't mean that this is their only motivation. They need to seek power in order to achieve want they want, whether it is to work for private interests or for the people.
Well this president is running a country with the population of 18k people dude, he's basically a mayor lol
@@slurples149 I was thinking the same but I didn't want to be condescending. lol
I know that some political leaders are very accessible, especially during election campaigns but they would not want to spend time with a CZcamsr whose audience is not national but international because they would lose precious time that they can use to meet people who are actual voters in their country.
Nah
I met Palauans living in New Zealand
They are very nice people
Humble and always smiling
I'm glad you seemed to have a great time here ! A lot of us were following your journey while you were here and worried if you'd have any fun or even footage because of the weather so im so happy to see this video lol.
Thank you for visiting and for being kind to our people, land and oceans. 🥺 Do visit again and safe travels !
♥️
It is so awesome to see you out and traveling to new places again after covid shut that all down for so long. I can’t wait to see more of Palau and then Saudi Arabia! Love from Boston!
czcams.com/video/CBWI5eBXGVE/video.html Unbelievable
Dude, you are everywhere
Drew Binsky is a chill and enthusiastic guy. SO AMAZING!
The reason Koror is more developed than the capital:
Koror was the capital of the place for quite a long time starting in 1919 when it was the capital of the entire South Seas Mandate under Japan. Ngerulmud didn't become the capital until 2006. The plans for a new capital have been in development since the 80s after ratifying in the 1979 constitution that the government should establish a new capital on the country's biggest island. Because Palau lacked architects, engineers, and had to import materials needed from other countries, progress was slow. It didn't pick up until the early 2000s when Palau received a loan of 20 million USD from Taiwan in 1999 (hence the plaque at 10:39; Taiwan has helped Palau significantly and Palau is one of the few countries to have an embassy in Taipei). The complex cost over 45 million USD to build, and put Palau in debt
Only 271 people live in Ngerulmud, the least populated capital city of a country (not counting territories). The only settlement in the country to have a ZIP code, served by the USPS as part of Palau's Compact of Free Association
So when taking a loan, didn't they realize that one day they would need to repay it? :D I wonder why did they decided to build a new capital
omg bro, goherping man!
In a country with 18,000 people you are likely to just bump into the President in the grocery store.
hey Drew!! i’m so excited to hear you made it to Jamaica, have the bestest trip my guy!!🤍⚡️
actually it was palau
@@TPG128 actually he’s in Jamaica right now😬
@@toriholliday6887 uh ok
@@leggo3213 oh sorry
@CEREAL_KILLER574 correcting grammar in youtube comments is a vibe killer dude, plz get a new hobby. i said bestest, and i meant bestest😁
Wow, simply wow! Never expected such a welcome by a country
Palau is so underrated 🇵🇼
most of micronesia it so underrated
yahh palau is beautiful
This must be the epic one so far. Thank you for introducing this beautiful country cool people and mainly for giving the feel of travelling with you.
They are lucky to have such a small country They can make decisions about anything and turn on a dime was fantastic to see thank-you Drew great video once again
Love Palau from Zaragoza, Spain 🇪🇸❤🇵🇼❤🇺🇸
The most casual, laidback president I’ve ever seen. No bodyguards, no personal escort and he’s not even wearing a suit. He even talks just like a regular person
The president of Palau comes across like the head of a condo board. Same energy. I guess because the population of Palau is so small. It seems like a very charming place.
So glad to see you back traveling and I can’t wait to see the Palau series!
Every second you shared on Palau was amazing! Beautiful country and travel story.
```Thanks~~~~
Thanks for the invitation Mr. President. Sometime next year i will surely visit Palau.
Wonderful President. Greetings from Nairobi, Kenya
#Drew Binskey Congratulations for all your accomplishments 👍 love your contents

Amazing! It's so peaceful!
He's such a cool president ❤️
"your excellency" Now that's how you address a leader. Great job Drew
Totally enjoying your trips. Can't wait to see your visit to Jamaica.
WOW DREW!!! This welcome brought tears to my eyes. This was such an honor. 👍🏼💗
This dude is like a superman flying every where and just dont care about how bad to travel. AMAZING!
I know right? I have to travel across the US frequently for work and I complain about the constant delays and frustrations. This guy travels 45 hours to get someplace like it's nothing. Hats off to him.
Oh my gosh !!!!! I have been waiting to see this thanks drew for coming im glad yuh had fun here !✨
Lol im from canada and i want to visit now so badd🤣🤣
This is absolutely beautiful Palau looks amazing not just location wise but all of it
Palau is one of the very best places I have been. If you're still there, try the burgers at Bem Irmii (the food truck).
My most favorite video of your trip, Drew! Been very curious about Palau and now you've made me want to go there even more! ❤
Beautiful 😍 I would love to visit Palau one day. Thank you for sharing your exciting journeys.🙏
congrats drew! looking forward for all the wonderful videos of sceneries in palau..
You're amazing!! Incredible trip.
They seem to be the most wholesome human beings on the planet, and their president seemed like such a chill guy.
While in Palau did you meet the traditional wood carvers? They carve beautiful story boards depicting the islands myths and ancient stories past from generation to generation. True artistry.
It’s so awesome you finally visited Palau 🇵🇼. It’s an amazing country, it might be small but it is packed with natural beauty and how they value nature is to be applauded. Amazing work Drew! Also you were here on Guam 🇬🇺 Drew you should have said hi 👋🏻 to your fans here including me!
What a president, love him. In future I will definitely visit Palau. Thank you Drew for showing us this beautiful country ❤ 💜 💕 ♥ 🙏
Love and respect Palau from Japan!
What a gorgeous meetup!! You two men rock!!
Seems like a chill guy
Thank you for visiting Palau🇵🇼
It depends how long the layover is. If you actually go into the city for a few hours, I would count it. But not just stepping outside the airport for a minute.
Drew you are a ROCKSTAR! We have never heard of Palau! Diving was amazing! You are making international connections! Congratulations on meeting the President! Great interview! ~Cara😊
Paradise 🏝🏖 !! Thank you for sharing Drew 👏🇿🇦
Great video. Congratulations on a new experience!
The jelly fish surrounding you omg so many of them !
Also the fact that they don't sting shoes how fascinating evolution is!
Also woow the president seems very sweet and knowledgeable! 😊
What a cool dude president Surangel is. Amazing how the government and people of Palau look after the environment and actually understand that we are a part of nature and not it's masters. Other nations take note!
Lovely place is Palau and I would love to visit someday.
Well done Drew👍🇬🇧🏴🇵🇱
Amazing tour ✨
Is wish there’s more to this video . Thanks for showing us our beautiful country of Palau 🇵🇼
Amazing drew I hope one day I travel and meet you while doing it

I been worked in PALAU back in 1992 I really love PALAU a peaceful place I'm glad to watch this video @ the president there he is very kind @ easy going person
Amazing Drew!
Now this is just pure excitement.
"... at the end of the day it's about serving people" ... Thank you Mr. President for reminding the whole world what is all about being a President in a simple statement, so true and so much unshared. May God bless You and your beautiful Country !
Looking forward to seeing more videos from Palau!!
It’s makes me so happy to see you visit my homeland drew, i wish you all the best in your travels. Kmal mesulang!
I'm a Iranian and I live in Iran I'm really happy that you like our country
Really love this! ❤️
Palau 🇵🇼
Chill country 👏
This video answers the questions that came to my mind after watching my first two of your journey. They´re coming up in no particular order on youtube. While on one hand I´d like to watch them in the order you made them, watching at random is marvellous too. I don´t usually comment on youtube, but feel inspired to do so with your travels and your thoughts. It´s a great thing that a president asked to meet you. I believe we are an ambassador for our country wherever we are and to whomever we meet. You are truly a great ambassador for the human race. 100% admiration.
Palau's President is such a gentleman ❤ Really such a good soul ❤💖
love your videos Drew! Palau seems like an amazing country can't wait to see more.
Beautiful country wow
He seems like such a nice guy! Glad you could make this experience, it is certainly a very special one.
