This week, I traveled to the beautiful country of Iraq. All my life I'd heard of the war in Iraq and how dangerous it was to visit, but I wanted to go there and explore if for myself to hear the stories that didn't make it into the media. So, along with Drew Binsky, Lexie Alford and Cory Martin, we were taken around Iraqi Kurdistan by our amazing guide, Baderkhan.

No No No iraqโ. this is Kurdistan โ
you enjoyed in our country more then us
I live in Basra Iraq there was no reason for you guys to get scared to go into Iraq and the host scared you as well obviously the soldier is gonna ask who they are especially around that area but even if they knew who you were they wouldn't have done anything. if you wanted to see the real Iraq come to Karbala Baghdad Basra. btw the 100$ behind the glass is a currency exchange and he takes his precautions there's definitely a weapon hidden near him. I did love the video though.... much love from Basra Iraq.
LOVE ALL THE WAY FROM AFRICA , KENYA . WE ARE ALL ONE

Welcome to Kurdistan Kurdish people are friendly & helpful that's why I love them so i hope you were having a special trip there.
but this is not really iraq . this is Kurdistan and they are not arabs at all. The culture is completely different.

Hey guys when you visit this amazing places do you take any gifts for the kids?
Hearing that man sing nearly made me cry, it reminded me of my Armenian Family who have also suffered so much. The world is beautiful, people are kind, we only need the strength to see it.
This is our guide โgoogle maps took us the wrong wayโ ๐
WOW
Kurdistan and Kurdish people are truly very special. Generous and kind! Thank you for the amazing Video!!

Beautiful video but weโd really appreciate it if u donโt call us iraqis bc it is really offensive to kurdistan people idk why baderkhan didnโt tell u maybe it was okay for him but for majority of kurds it is :)
I will visit erbil for the whole summer, is there any kurdish Friend that want to give me a tour ? :)
Just amazing and also hearbrokeaking I'm from Kurdistan of Iran and i felt every second ... I've been in Kurdistan of Iraq but I've never seen it this way Thank you
sadly i can just like this video once... greetings from switzerland โฅ
That guy's laugh could cure cancer ๐
This video gives me a different perspective in life. I was teary-eyed it and gave me goosebumps while watching this video. We may walk slow but we will never stop. - Baderkhan โค๏ธ
30:55 that kid at the back aint enjoying the song
Amazing video on Iraq.Perspective is a hell of a thing.
U really shouldn't always trust what u see on the news :)

It's amazing to see Iraq from a point of view we never get to see otherwise ๐ฅฐ Thank you for sharing this experience with us โบ๏ธ
Fell asleep with youtube on and woke up to this, gonna try to carry that positivity with me today.
Bro I love this video. The guide is my favorite person ever
Badherkhan.... what a beautiful example of man
Kurdistanโค๏ธโค๏ธ
The Iraqi Christians people are called Assyrian and Chaldean. They are not Arab or Kurdish. The world needs to know the truth. Donโt believe when they say Christian that they are talking about Kurds or Arabs. Please people do some more research.
I love this mans laugh. You know it's not staged!
Done
Thanks so mach badrxan
Welcome to Kurdistan โค๏ธโ ๐
This really changed my perspective on Iraq and its beautiful people. Thank you for the work you do, Yes Theory ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ
It's Kurdistan north of Iraq. It really is very different than actual Iraq. You are more than welcome if you want to know more about it to ask. Much love and Respect! ๐
It does feel strange that there aren't many women around hopefully this can also change in the next generation.
This video made me very emotional. I was born in Iraqi Kurdistan and escaped because of the war. I've never seen my homeland until now. Thank you!!
Simply amazing.
๐๐๐ณโโ๏ธ๐ง๐บโ๏ธ๐๐น๐๐ Thank you very much!
love it
Long live Kurdistan
After watching this, i can see how ungrateful people here in the U.S are... this really changes my mindset on the world, they have so little and have been through so much yet they laugh and make the best of it, coming from me someone who lives in Miami thereโs people upset they donโt have a Mercedes... it just shows you how you really donโt need anything in this world but family, love and a different perspective to be happy! Iโm very moved by this!
What a masterpiece! Thank you for sharing this!
Baderkhan stole the show with his great personality
My lovely brother we are not iraq we are kurdistan i agree with you that we are not country but the day we come and we will be country
Looks Awsome there ! My dad is currently deployed there in the war he tells me the candy and foods are Awsome there but itโs still super dangerous because his base got attacked, but heโs fine .And thatโs why itโs never safe in countryโs like that .
We're going to go to kurdistan during summer I can't wait to see family there that we haven't seen for 6 years crazy๐คฏ๐คฏ
New subscriber๐ฅ
Anywhere else guys. Anywhere.
Hay Guy, that is not Iraq. Only part of Iraq, it means only north part Iraq. So, come to central Iraq where is Baghdad. Welcome, I am in Karbala, my nationality is Korean.
Kurdistan is not iraq, we are just kurd , plz dont insult us by calling us iraqi
am currently simping for lexi. wish i could one day travel the world too.
In india we say "if you laugh too much u will cry later". It's like maintaining a perfect balance as all things should be
Same in Turkey๐คฃ
Brilliant vid I love all your videos
Though Iโve been slowly exploring all the yes theory adventures, this vid was the one I shared with several friends and family members. Exploring places no one was allowed into through the connections of your guide, Baderkahn and his contagious laugh, it just needed to be shared. Got an ad to seek discomfort merch and was browsing the site when Lexi expressed the difference between male and female travellers. I couldnโt clap loud enough and Iโm glad she raised your awareness. I wish I could have gone the places I wanted when I first lived in Europe but I was too scared. Sheโs inspirational thank you for sharing. Lookin forward to my merch! ๐ป
Its ironic how the stereotypes tend to fill our heads what a butthole of a world these countries are (Iraq, Afghanistan), but holy moly, people who life there are the most beautiful, friendly people i have ever seen. I live in central Europe and people in here are so disconnected.
This is only part of Iraq, you haven't seen all of Iraq.

If you want people wont call you as a terrorists dont feed and support in sincar or kandil or in anywhere pkk, ypg, pyd, pjak. And dont trust to america any more.
Iโm Kurdish and Iโve always felt quite disconnected from my heritage and culture growing up in England and this was so amazing to watch thank you
Love to Kurdistan from PAKISTAN โค๐ต๐ฐ
Love to iraq from PAKISTAN โค๐ต๐ฐ
This is a very wide eye opening for everyone. We are all people, even if we don't have same religious beliefs but we all have our own God. We all deserve to be loved. "Changing one mindset, even if slow progress. One will call me tourist and not terrorist'" I was really touched by this. Thank you so much Yes Theory!
Amazing amazing video!!! Fully enjoyed it!!! Greetings from Ireland ๐ฎ๐ช I am fascinated with the Middle East and hope to travel there soon โบ๏ธ
Man. That was really eye opening.
There ain't no "Kurdistan" lmao
Puissant words of baderkhan healed me !!
Welcome to Bangladesh. Be our guest Maybe we can explore together. โค๏ธ
