I Spent A Day With The World’s Loneliest Man: A Journey into Isolation
In this captivating video, Drew Binsky takes viewers on a profound journey to meet Mehmet, the world’s loneliest man. For 17 long years, Mehmet has lived in complete solitude in Turkey, untouched by the modern world and isolated from any neighbors. The only companionship he knows comes from his beloved goats, with whom he shares his simple life.
Drew first learned about Mehmet through a small article on a Turkish news site and was compelled to book a flight immediately. What unfolds in this video is a touching exploration of loneliness and human connection, showcasing not just Mehmet’s daily routine but also the beauty and challenges of living a life far removed from society.
Thanks to local guide Anil, Drew navigates the stunning landscapes of Turkey, providing insights into not only Mehmet’s life but also the rich culture surrounding him. This video is about more than just isolation; it’s a poignant reminder of the different paths life can take and what truly matters in our connections with others.

Obrga Drun!! ❤❤❤❤
I think he could really use a dog (s)
kambingnya dicuri😢😢😢😢😢 sehinga membuatnya pergi dan tingal digunung😢😢😢😢
혼자이지만 위대한 삶.
This video is amazing… First of all, as a Turkish person, I was so happy that a YouTuber I’ve been following for a long time came to our country—welcome! I hope you’re happy here. Uncle Mehmet was a bit cautious and reserved toward you at first because he lives alone, and as you can understand, he’s been living by himself for years and needs to protect himself, but he was very happy to have you there and really enjoyed the day he spent with you. It’s very obvious—you can tell just from the way he came straight to you as soon as he woke up in the morning 😂 Thanks for everything—the video was perfect. We want more videos from Turkey. Take care love you❤🇹🇷
Мы все рабы цивилизации. И я в том числе. Я часто думаю об этом. И очень расстраиваюсь. 😢
There are moments I sometimes feel living a life of solitude..separated from society would be amazing.
Maybe one day you go back there and bring him a tent 😁just to cover his rooftop safe him from the rain 😁🙏💖💖
In the mountains he doesn't worry about man stealing his goats. All he worries about is the prey that will eat his goats. If I wouldn't be so afraid of the dark I would be in the mountains. Being alone nobody can hurt you
hoşgeldiniz
He asked you to go away for a bit because the goats are running around and scared and It was hard for him to put them in the pen.
Special episode ❤❤
Love and respect for the old man 😊❤
Staying away from sugar and oil has enabled him to reach that age
Very good video
Hello everyone, I am the guide, Anıl in the video🙏🏼
Isolated in the mountains, only his goats and a mind blowing lifestyle…
It was a privilege to visit such an extraordinary man with you guys abi.. And witnessing his life with his goats was mind blowing.. We even talked about him almost for a week after the trip..
I still cannot imagine how he lives in that shack😱
Great video Drew, thank you. But when asked, he said he is NOT lonely
sounds like hes struggling, not at peace imo, and yall bringing him stuff like hes homeless. Bro chooses that life then complains about goats being sick, and thief's
Autistic with special interest in goats, doesn't fit in a near-typical world. I admire his tenacity.
Monsieur super sympa malgré qu'il est isolé de tout le monde
C’est complètement malade à 23:20 ses chèvres lui répondent
Человек уединился с природой.
Love from india ❤
