Shout out to to our neighbors and brothers from Kurdistan for giving such a wonderful image of our country
Of course you can say that Kurdistan is not iraq for alot of reasons but still you are making a good reputation for us to the world and for that we thank you...
This is coming from someone who lived in Kurdistan for over than 5 years, much love❤️❤️❤️
Gutian Warrior since when kurdistan is not part from iraq ? you built it by Iraqi money ! Your history from Mesopotamia ! Your erbil castle is assyrian ! You were living in mountains and you came down to live in this country as many people came to iraq ! This is not your area this is iraqi area ! We used to be great country but since the invasions and the trash governments which are brought by America and Iran , we are all affected ! Instead of standing with your people! Your are throwing hate speech about iraq and iraqi people? Why ? Iraq is not arabic country neither kurdish, assyrian , muslim, jewish , christian, ezidian and neither sabian ! Iraq is for all iraqi people and we are living from its bounties ! This is betrayal , treachery and effrontery to say that when your country is being weak and iraqi people are being killed ! This is so unfortunate shame on you and i know not all kurd like you i have many iraqi kurd friends .. they are real iraqi not like you !

Welcome to Kurdistan ❤💚💛
Baderkhan’s smile and laugh just brightened my whole day. What a jolly guy! 😄
Isabella Busby-Priest yes, Baderkhan is certainly one of the most positive people I’ve ever met! ❤️
Lol yeah he's funny
Thank you for clarifying that this is Kurdistan and explaining why it's different to the rest of Iraq. Generally, I've seen vloggers portray Kurdistan as the whole of Iraq (to make Iraq seem safer) and news portray the south of Iraq as the whole of Iraq (to make Iraq seem more dangerous).
انا من جنوب العراق وهي منطقة امنة جدا 🤷🏻♂️لماذا تصدقون كل شي يقال على الاخبار
Fabulous message. NO MORE WAR!!!!!
Iraqis didn’t go to war they go to defend their land
Your video filled me with hope and optimism that kindness still prevails in humanity. Peace and prosperity of the Kurdish people from Europe, from Bulgaria!
Hello

Are u kurd? I like Kurdish traditional dance like dance and wave waist with hands that's I like... One more thing why Kurdish women are so beautiful and brave?
This is a gorgeous country!!!!! I really hope in the future there will be more peace and that there can be more people like you traveling everywhere!
The problem here is our government very corruption Everything in my country. Very good.

Beautiful country and people. Love from America. 🇺🇸
I’m from Iraq but I live in canada and I’m so happy to see that someone found out that we aren’t all wars and terrosits
Nope your country is full of war and terrorism, This is Kurdistan
I always admire how much work goes into your videos! From the history of the country, to the current lives of the people there, your videos are always so informative, heartwarming, and eye opening. Thank you so much for continuing to travel to all these places, giving us first hand account of how these places really are, and help us to humanize them. It can be really hard to not see a country as just a country portrayed on the news, but instead see the people that make the country what is truly is. Thank you for all your hard work Jacob, it's truly appreciated!!
Comments like yours motivate me to do what I do more than you can imagine. Thank you so much for this. Can’t wait to publish more content from the Middle East and other interesting places around the world. Thank you! ❤️
I love you 😍 Kurdistan! I miss you my beautiful homeland ❤️
Thanks bro, i’m from Kurdistan region and i’m living here in Sulaimaniyah province, you covered all facts about us as Kurds, so thanks for your efforts 👏🌹
Welcome in my country

I am grateful that you reflect a good image of Iraq, regardless of the media. With all of that Iraqi people, it is impossible to change and will preserve its kindness and dignity. Also, there are those who follow you from southern Iraq like me.💕
WELCOME TO KURDISTAN❤️☀️💚❤️☀️💚❤️☀️💚❤️☀️💚❤️☀️💚
Let's be honest. While technically you did go to Iraq, you actually limited yourself to Kurdistan which is reasonably safe and autonomous. During the American invasion not a single US soldier was killed there and it has long been very cosy with the West and even Israel. Obviously, the situation remains volatile because of remnants of ISIS, but it isn't like going to Mosul or Baghdad. As far as I know, even a visa is not needed for Iraqi Kurdistan. It's funny how a number of popular travel vloggers suddenly rushed there and boast about a visit to a warzone. it's not quite truth. In fact, Kurdistan was fairly safe to visit even during the US invasion when the rest of the country was plunged in violence.Otherwise, I did enjoy the video.
Yes, this comment section is freaking hilarious. Insulting the US government and saying it wants to destabilize the region while in fact kurdistan is only like it is now THANKS to the US government
Yeap, Kurdestan is pretty safe and peaceful. Considering that it is an independent "Kurdish" state it still has a neutral relationship with Iran, USA, Isreal, and relatively stable relationships with Turkey. Even in the middle of the war Kurdestan was safe and had a neutral relationship with everyone. It also has one of the most stable and organized armies in Iraq so it was never threatened by ISIS as much of other northern parts of Iraq. Going to Kurdestan is like going to Turkey or Iran. It is not a warzone. Many people still don't know that Iraq has some stable regions tho.
well Baghdad and Iraq's south districts are safe too, actually right now after the war on ISIS ended even Mosul and other districts that where invaded by ISIS are generally safe now but not too safe to visit as a tourist
@@falahati The kurdish region was actually massively threatened by the ISIS.
Thanks for writing this) finally someone
This video is surreal. More people need to see this!

I have to admit the caves gave me so much anxiety though! 😅😅😅
good job man. keep doing videos like that. i love how you take a break from footages to tell historical facts
You have always made very good quality videoes! Thanks for sharing such a special experience with us all. Happy to see that Iraq/Kurdistan have recovered from terrible times!
I love this! and you’re right it’s very important to be aware and learn about all kinds of places and not lump a whole country into one category. #explorior
I don’t know why this doesn’t have a lot of views? You deserve much more!
I really cried when I saw our history 😭
Thanks for your video ♥️
Amazing! It was a really useful video for us to understand more about this country, good job mate!
That was such a beautiful video Jacob and it's great to see you back on CZcams after a few months. For much of my life, whenever I had heard of or saw anything relating to Iraq, only one thing came to mind; war. It's unfortunate that that's the way I thought for so long but your journey across this country reminded me that while, yes, war has occurred here, that's not what this country should be recognized for. No country should stand out or be recognized for their wars or hardships because that's overlooking the general picture of what any place is about; culture, scenery, personalities and cuisines. Those elements are what really defines a country's history because those are things people are able to relate to. It's exciting to explore new avenues in the way of life. There are so many routes with different treasures that expose you to new things and adventures that captivate your imagination and propel you for years down the road.
The footage you captured was so extraordinary and it was so warming to see the people of Iraqi Kurdistan welcome you with open arms and show you what their way of life is all about. I was also blown away by the mountain regions you captured and the gorgeous mosque and temple, and of course that cave. I am so sad that Iraq had endured hardship and what you said regarding the tanks really struck a chord inside of me. It really is unfortunate that we have inventions such as tanks, which really do nothing but cause destruction. The world truly needs peace and you're doing your part in trying to make that happen. God bless you you legend and cannot wait to see where else life takes you this year and this decade.

Definitely should explore more.

I don't know why people disliked this beautiful Video
Because he talked about kurdistan
Many people hate kurdistan name
Simple, he had a perspective that only the western people sleep on the bed. The rest lives in hovels or caves and sleeps on a hallowed rock!
Because they hate Kurdistan name and racism people hate kurds long live for kurds and Kurdistan region ❤️
