Binsky was born Drew Goldberg in Dallas, Texas and grew up in Scottsdale, Arizona. "Binsky" was a nickname given to him by his family, of Jewish origin. He attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison, graduating in 2013 with degrees in economics and entrepreneurship. During his junior year in college, he entered into a study abroad program in Prague, Czech Republic. He studied there for 1 semester, during which time he traveled to more than 20 countries across Europe.

After college, Goldberg took a job teaching English in Seoul, South Korea. He spent 18 months there, and traveled to 20 countries in Asia during that time. He quit his teaching job in January 2015 and began focusing on traveling full-time after that. By October 2015, he had visited a total of 73 countries. He also started a blog called "The Hungry Partier" (later renamed "Drew Binsky") and began documenting his travels on Instagram and Snapchat.

In 2017, his girlfriend, Deanna Sallao, bought him a camera, which prompted him to create and begin posting videos on his YouTube channel (also called "Drew Binsky"). He uploads videos daily onto that channel. In May 2017, he uploaded videos of an organized trip to North Korea on his YouTube and Facebook channels. The videos accumulated over 10 million views.

In 2018, he began working out of Bangkok, Thailand. As of January 2020, he has visited 189 countries, with plans to visit the 8 remaining countries by June 2020.
