Drew Binsky is the latest foreign travel blogger to visit Pakistan, and he loves it

Along with Iran, Pakistan is the world’s most misconceived and misunderstood country, he says.

Hot on the heels of Rosie Gabrielle, American travel blogger Drew Binsky is the latest foreign tourist to arrive in Pakistan to enjoy the country's hospitality.

Binsky is documenting his travels on his Instagram page, which is now peppered with shots of him posing with the flag and even enjoying a typical desi head massage from a local barber.

Before arriving in Pakistan Binsky posted a message on his page revealing that people had advised him to be very careful when visiting the country since it's 'a terrorist country'. He responded: "Well, I cannot wait to connect with the humble people in this country, from Karachi to Lahore to Islamabad to the remote Northern mountains, and tell stories for you all to witness the beauty of this country.... And India — I really do love you, but these comments I’ve been getting from you guys are outrageous, and I can’t wait to see your reaction after you watch these upcoming videos in Pakistan, and realize that Pakistani culture is almost the same as yours."

Binsky was in Karachi on Pakistan Day and posted a picture of himself with flag-bearing policemen, saying: "I just spent the last 15 minutes dancing in the middle of a busy road with policemen singing, dancing and waving Pakistan flags. WHAT IS LIFE?!"

The blogger has been to a whopping 153 countries since 2012, and works as a full-time video maker, travel blogger and content creator.

After his few days in Pakistan he stated that: "Along with Iran, Pakistan is the world’s most misconceived and misunderstood country."

I know we're meant to do cartwheels every time we see some white skinned foreigner show any interest in our country, but this American looks no different to the hordes of contracted Blackwater thugs who used to stroll around Pakistan, harassing our people in their own land. Eva Zu Beck, Rosie Gabrielle, Cynthia Ritchie - all welcome. This guy - not.

@Anon It's less about looks, more about demographics. Virtually every white male American who has set foot in Pakistan has brought nothing but his own native prejudices. They should all be vetted rigourously, and ideally hindered enough that they eventually decide to go back to where they came from.
