While the world is home to countless fascinating locales that you're likely dying to visit, there are also a number of places that you'd be best avoiding, and one YouTuber who has traveled to every single country reveals the scariest place he's been to.
Many YouTubers have made a name by showing some of the world's unexplored locations, as creators have shown some of the Earth's most remote communities alongside 'cursed' hospitals that you'd be best off avoiding.
If you're on a mission to go everywhere and anywhere though you're bound to encounter a few places that aren't as welcoming as you might expect, and that can often lead to dangerous scenarios that are best viewed through YouTube rather than real life.
You might be familiar with Drew Binsky, as not only has he amassed over 6 million subscribers on the video sharing platform, but he has also achieved the incredible feat of visiting all 197 countries across the world, with a new goal to meet every single president.

One look at his most popular videos and you'll be able to see some of the fascinating people and places that he's encountered on his travels across the globe, but there are a few countries and cities that he won't be rushing back to any time soon.
Drew recently revealed all of the places where he felt most unsafe on his travels in a video, and in turn has explained why one city in particular left him terrified.
"I travelled to every country in the world [...] Number one is Mogadishu, which is the capital of the East African country Somalia," Drew explained.
"This place has no rules, no laws. Al-Shabaab is present, which is an off-shoot of Al-Qaeda. Every time you leave your hotel you have to have a convoy in the front and back with four bulletproof vest military guys sitting on the beds of each truck with huge AK-47s in their hand, scouting out the area before you go."
That certainly doesn't sound like the idea experience, and while it might be memorable, it's understandably not something that he wants to experience again.
There's a good reason why Americans have been given a 'do not travel' warning for Somalia, and Drew even noted that a hotel he visited on his last visit is now destroyed after an attack, calling the situation "very scary and very unfortunate."
That's not the only horror that he had to encounter on his globetrotting journey though, as his visit to the capital city of Chad, N'Djamena, saw a somewhat similar experience.
"Never in my life have I been more scared, threatened, or attacked (both verbally and physically) than I was in that hot, dusty, and beaten-down, deserted city," he recalled, noting that he was even scared for his life after taking a picture of some of the locals.
