Challenges for American Travelers
In an interview, Drew highlighted a common problem faced by American travelers who want to travel the world: obtaining visas in politically tense regions. He shared his most challenging experience entering Venezuela, noting, “I ended up getting the visa from the Venezuelan embassy, but they were difficult because of the sanctions and political tensions between the US and Venezuela. But I was able to get one last minute.”
Embracing Diverse Cultures
Despite the difficulties, Drew’s travels have also brought him unforgettable moments, particularly through his interactions with indigenous tribes. “I really like visiting indigenous tribes because it shows a different side of the world that is not so consumed in technology and electronics,” Drew explained.
He finds these encounters humbling and plans to continue visiting tribes in Africa, South America, and India. “It’s humbling to meet people and see how they’re living in faraway places; I plan to keep visiting them [indigenous tribes] mostly in Africa, but also in South America and India.“
