TRAVELING ACROSS IRAQ FOR 7 DAYS (Kurdistan)

Dude it was seriously one of the best trips of my life ! So grateful to share it together and can’t wait for the next 🙏🙏

I full on broke down crying when the guide said all Iraq needs is love. This and your Afghanistan video have given me a fully new perspective on these countries and how welcoming everyone really is.

As a Westerner, I feel that we have a very brainwashed perspective of the middle east (particularly in the US and Canadian media). It's tragic. Thank you for sharing your experiences, to help dispel misinformation about how kind-hearted and peaceful most of the people here are.

He is such a beautiful soul, what a world we would have if more people had the same outlook on life as he does. So much love for his country❤️❤️

As a Kurd from the Netherlands, I just want to thank all people who made this video possible. It's so important for the world to see and hear about Kurds. Thank you, thank you! Baderkhan I hope to meet you in person one day. You radiate positive energy and love.

"We might walk slow, but we will never stop" - Baderkhan
Absolutely beautifully said. This is one of my favourite things ever said.

Your stories are unbelievable.

It was quite emotional for me watching this video.....I wish people could be more concerned of these people rather than stereotyping them

I’m an american living in kurdistan & I absolutely love this video so much. this nation is so special!!!

"it doesn't matter whether you are Yazeedi, Muslim, or Jewish we all pray to the same God"
He was saying this while the three of them had their arms on each other's shoulders pretty much hugging each other...i love seeing things like this that was so wholesome I love to see people from different parts of the world from different cultures showing respect and love to each other that's what it's all about ✌️ mainstream media forces people to think that we're all so different and that we cannot mingle with each other and that of we do we won't get along and that it will be awkward but in reality we're all so similar and can enjoy and respect each other's company and cultures and can even be brothers and sisters

The message at the end realy moved me (34:19). "We are different from outside but similar from inside". I wish more people come to realizing it! Huge thanks from Ukraine.

These people were all such beautiful souls ❤This video brought me tears. The fact that they are still so optimistic despite their situation, has changed my outlook on life. Sending the people of Iraq all my love, health, happiness, and peace. 🙏

Man I loved this so much.

Baderkhan is one of the strongest people I've ever seen. He radiates positive energy. It would have been so easy to fall into negative emotions with every thing he's experienced and seen. I cannot even imagine. I think if I ever got lucky enough to meet him, I'd probably super glue myself to him haha I need that energy in my life all the time. What an amazing person.

from someone thats originally from syria that saw the war for a good 7 years i understand the struggles and im so happy to see that our brothers in iraq are still doing good even after all the wars they had may god keep everyone in the world safe and protected

Welcome to Iraq my friend. We have nothing but love for people from all around the world and want nothing but peace, love and prosperity. Regardless of where someone is from, we share this planet together and have same goals an ambitions.

All the support to Iraqi people from the bottom of my heart! I wish only the best for you and I hope that humanity will start to change for better soon :)

Badarkan is a truly enlightened individual and needs to go on a world speaking tour. If he and people like him could tell the world such a simple message like people are not terrorists and just simply need love then I think the world could heal itself in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for this video and please keep up the good work, you too are helping to heal this planet.

"One day people will not call me a terrorist, but call me a tourist" wow, that's an emotional statement to process.

I’m from Iraq and honestly this was so sweet and I have never enjoyed a travel video this much before. I truly appreciate you showing the beautiful history of Iraq and not just be a tourist and show the food and all. I live in the US and sadly I have only seen Iraq for 20 days when I was young, I really hope Iraq gets back on its feet one day and go back to the front country that everyone knows Iraq for. I would love to do something to help Iraq go back to be a strong country but with a more positivity and safety for ALL Iraqis

as a kurd and long time fan of yes theory, id like to say thank you, the more attention the Kurdish people get the higher chance of us being recognized and protected from all of our "neighbors"

I HAVE NEVER LEFT MY COUNTRY EVER & ONLY BEEN TO VERY FEW STATES. THIS VIDEO MADE ME CRY SO MUCH TO SEE THE BEAUTY IN THIS COUNTRY & TO SEE HIM SAY ALL IT NEEDED WAS LOVE.🥺 IF ONLY PEOPLE COULD SEE THE BEAUTY IN EVERYTHING INSTEAD OF BEING HATEFUL TOWARDS OTHERS JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T LIVE UP TO THEIR STANDARDS OR JUST BECAUSE ALL THEY HAVE SHOWN US WAS THAT IT WAS NOTHING BUT WAR ZONE & TO STAY AWAY. IT IS EXACTLY VIDEOS LIKE THIS THAT HAVE ALSO CONVINCED ME TO MOVE TO ERBIL, IRAQ THIS FRIDAY OCTOBER 28TH, 2022. MAY GOD PROTECT US ALL NO MATTER WHERE IN THE WORLD WE ARE.❤️ BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER & ALWAYS TRY YOUR BEST TO BE POSITIVE NO MATTER WHAT & REMEMBER LOVE & PEACE CONQUER ALL. 🥺❤️🎀 THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER.❤️🎀

By far, one of my favorite episodes on this channe. Thank you so much for opening our eyes. LOVE, PEACE, NO WAR!!!

That man has an unbelievable outlook on life, his positivity really is contagious. A wonderful film as usual, thanks for doing this.

“...later people won’t call me a terrorist, but a tourist!” What a charming and upbeat man, we need more people like him in this world.

This was so incredibly deep and profound. Truly beautiful. The trip. The people. The culture. The scenery. Wonderful. The whole world is rooting for the people of Iraq

I have been in Mesopotamia and I am really in love with place and people there ! Wish Peace in Kurdistan ! ❤️💛💚

the stories people be having is unbelievable. there is so much hate in the world that people only know and believe what is on the news. this is why this channel speaks out to me and interests me the most. you see everyone’s different perspectives on things. everyone is human and more people need to be educated to know what is the truth. this video really speaks out to the world and i loved it. the man really has a lot of feelings and things to say about his country that a lot of people don’t know about and want to be able to speak
up. amazing job on this documentary!

Hi guys much respect to the "Yes Theory" group and to everyone that follows your amazing adventures around the world. I'm from South Africa, south of the African continent, southern tip of Africa. I would so love joining you guys and sharing all the information that's scattered out there in the world. Capture the love you try to spread, I must say that's really fullfiling an genuine. If I had the means, I would travel the world to try find you guys an join the cause. Cheers have more energy to continue an never give up on the world, I won't give up on you 👋💯🤗

thank you guys, for all that you do. on the one hand it makes me feel bad that I don't get out of my comfort zone, but at the same time your videos show, that we're all just human. thank you!

As a Big and old Yes Theory fan from northern Iraq ( Kurdistan), I never thought that one day I will be able to tell my story and the story of my people through Yes Theory's channel to the world.
When I met Thomas, at that moment I believed in the power of the law of attraction, and the power of the Internet.
Yes, Theory has shaped my life in many ways, and I don't know how thankful and grateful I'm for them.
Thank you Yes Theory, Thank You Badirkhan for letting this happen, and thanks to all the other crew.

Baderkhan has restored my faith in humanity. Despite all the hardships he endured since he was a child he manages to remind us that all we need is love and empathy ♥️

The condition of those ancient buildings is really impressive! I wonder what makes them so different from the ruins of rome and greece which haven't held up nearly as well.

as a fellow travel vlog enthusiast, seeing thomas, drew and lexie in the same video feels like an avengers type of crossover

of all Yes Theory episodes, this would be my favorite! thank you for showing Iraq, thank you for opening my eyes, thank you for changing the false narrative I had before. keep inspiring and keep spreading love ❤️

I love these middle eastern adventure episodes, the pure kindness and perseverance of the people in these areas blows my mind. so beautiful❤

Baderkhan: "Some day, people will not call me a terrorist, they'll call me a tourist". That's an MLK speech-worthy line. Well said, Baderkhan.
Thank you for this video. I've always wanted to see more of Iraq since my last, more 'unpleasant' visit. Well done!

Since there are not many people that have had an opportunity to really view the Monastery, it would have been great to see more of the Monastery and its architecture.

It's almost 2023, I have just recently found your channel, and while I am jealous that you get to experience these moments and I don't I also feel that you put out wonderful content (I LOVED your video on Syria). You absolutely deserve to have gotten to 10 million by now and wish you the best of luck on achieving that goal!

I did not expect to get emotional after watching this, and i'm from the Philippines. Love heals everything.

As an American, I have zero negative feelings for any country in the world despite what the media tries to portray. Iraq was absolutely beautiful, and the people even more beautiful. I would love to visit this place. Thank you for sharing. #LOVE

I want you to know that your videos warm my heart like nothing has ever in many years every video I see how wonderful people are around the world I make it a custom in my own country of Canada to befriend everyone as though they are a brother or sister I believe that you are on the right path to opening our eyes and the eyes of those around us to a world that we did not know was there because of those who wish to keep us apart I have never felt the joy that you give in giving me the ability to see these people in their own countries and the smiles and love that they give you your friend Ryan Beattie ❤️

Manifest that 10 mil subs and amazing content for 2021! You guys got this :)

Guys, please continue your path, you are opening eyes for a lot of people. World should be open for everyone.

“Every Muslims are not terrorist and every terrorist are not Muslims”
What a story and documentary man! I hope every people should see this video and change their mindset about Muslim countries and people. Being a person from South Asia, I loved the way Iraqi people are and their tradition and culture. Beautiful content with beautiful story! Heaps of love ❤️

Your channel is opening me up to the world in a whole new way. I appreciate you guys for telling these stories.

This was AMAZING! So much better than any attempted documentary on any network or news organization. What I would also like to see was your hotel(simple as it is) it would just be fascinating to see. And also(if possible) costs, just in case, we too want to visit these places(if possible.)

Congratulations for your national holiday on 3rd October Iraq from your friends in Germany

It hurt my heart when he said, "People of the middle east, we suffer from terrorism more than anyone else in the world, so don't stereotype us as terrorists."

Baderkhan is the friend everyone needs. Just so positive and full of life! ❤
Thank you for making this. My husband did two tours in Iraq and he doesn't talk much about it. Thank you, now I know some what of what he experienced.

Very beautiful adventure, thank you for sharing. It's always wonderful to see the impact Yes Theory has on people when you guys meet people that follow your channel, keep inspiring people :D And Baderkhan is so wise and amazing, I love everything that he said! ♥

such an amazing beautiful story, Yes Theory always brings awesome story's but this one just blows everything out of the water. Baderkhan is such an amazing positive human, we need more like him is this world.

Baderkhan is awesome what a kind soul.. and his laugh is freakin contagious 😂🤣

My dad says the same thing about Bosnia people. This was back in the ‘90s. Two different people groups but one unique culture, that many didn’t or couldn’t see because of hate or fear or simply “the unknown”. He loved all Bosnians. He hurt to see anger there.

Beautiful, beautiful content!

Guys, this was brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing a different perspective of this wonderful people, they trully deserved it. Keep up the excellent work.

Laughter is medicine. Keep up your amazing adventures. We live vicariously through you. Thank you for your fearless spirit .🕊

This is the only travelling video that I cried while watching. Thank you for sharing reality with us. Love from Turkey 🥰

What an incredibly beautiful video. I want to go and immerse myself in the culture, warmth and human ness of these people. From Australia. Hugs

Thank You Yes Theory for bringing the truth about the Iraqi people and the Syrian people. We've been brainwashed by the mass media alot and that leaves a negative impact on our mentality. Through these kind of documentaries you're educating us that though they have gone through endless wars they still have the courage, strength, Love, kindness and generousity within them and that they strives towards a better future. Hope to see more inspiring videos from you in the future ❤️🙏.

"People will not call me a terrorist, they will call me a tourist"- what a fuckin legend!

"we might walk slow, but we will never stop" so powerful sentence. Thank you Yes theory for sharing us this wonderful story. Love from Philippines 🇵🇭.

This was a wonderful video

Thank you for this 🙏🏽 This video represent how my Kurdish people are. Loving, joyful, generous and full of hope. ❤️🙏🏽

Thank you again for opening my eyes and heart to the people of Iran. I hope to one day visit this beautiful country. God bless..

How yall don't have 10 million yet is wild. I only recently discovered your channel yesterday and it has quickly become my favorite.
Cheers and hope the goal is achieved this year!

“One day they will not call me a terrorist, they will call me a tourist”- What an incredible story. Thank you for showing this to the world!

"they brainwash us so we can't leave our imaginary world"💗
One of so many beautiful words in this precious video. Thank you so much!!!

Honestly without Matt it feels like something is missing all the time. The energy and enthusiasm level is different when Tom and Mat are together, like literally it feels like virtual beholders are in real adventure.

This video keeps me reminded that while we're a diverse species occupying this world, its often that the human spirit shares no boundaries. I was very fortunate to stumble onto this video. You have certainly blessed me, along with the Clip-Share community sharing your travels through this country, but more so to share your experiences alongside your guide "BaDakon' ... and please correct my spelling. Thank you so much.,

Something about this youtube channel brings me so much comfort, I love that you guys show respect appreciation to the culture and history wherever you go, it's amazing truly.

Guys, I've seen you go to northern Iraq and that's amazing! But please feel free and be assured it is safe to visit the rest of Iraq as in Baghdad and other regions at the moment. Iam from iraq and luckily tourists are coming from around the world now! I hope you come again and you'll be most welcomed 💗

this is just wonderful 😌

This was an amazing trip. I expected everything destroyed but it wasnt. Again the people are so giving and kind. Thank you again

As what happens with youtube, I just stumbled upon your travel content and love it. So many travellers go to get another stamp on their passport, and with you guys, I love how you actually meet with locals and have such a great take away from everything you experience :)

Kurdistan is where my family comes from but it’s not very well known so it feels good to be represented on a channel as big as yours. Glad you had fun there :)

Seeing how you could with such ease fit in the culture and understand the similarities in us human no matter ethnicity is heart melting. As a kurd this video was a documentary, a diary, a movie. It will forever stay in my heart, would unwatch it and watch it again if I could, much love and prayers to Yes Theory.

I just got turned on to Yes Theory a couple months ago after stumbling across the Wim Hof documentary. Since then I have been binge watching all your videos. This is truly an amazing story of understanding people who are different, when the fact is we all have a lot more in common than we realize. Thank you for sharing this experience!

This documentary should be on a bigger platform, like Netflix or something. More people need to see this. The filming, the way they show the culture. It’s beautiful. ❤️

thank you baderkhan for letting this happen ❤

Honestly one of the coolest channel’s that is on youtube,really pleasant and enjoyable to watch

This is beyond amazing- deeply impressing the beauty of these people and their culture. Thank-you sooo much for what you are doing.

I love all your videos, I just wish I was young again and travel with you everywhere! It’s amazing the people you meet and feel the love everywhere you go and talk to! You are a blessing to show the truth through these people, what they have been through, and the history of their countries! No wonder other countries hate America! They always get involved in peoples business that they shouldn’t be!

@ 34:00 is one of the most motivational and beautiful speeches you'll ever hear. You can hear and feel how pure this man is. I wish there were more people out there like this man. The world would be a whole different place.

"we suffer from terrorism more than anyone else so don't stereotype us as terrorists" what a perfect thing to say. Everyone needs to hear that, especially in North America. Baderkhan is an amazing man. Amazing video guys. Videos like this are so important in bringing everyone together.

This is just utterly supremely well made, from scripting to cinematography to editing - just wonderful. Thanks Yes Theory!

I’ve been binge watching your videos for the past three hours , amazing content !! Love your morals and your drive to show us what’s going on in other parts of the world!

THANK YOU FOR CREATING THESE VIDEOS!!! You do so much for a connected world to share experiences, differences and similarities between people from all over the world.

How is this channel not at 50 million at least I don’t understand!!! 💯❤️‍🔥 thank you for spreading peace, Togetherness & love around the world! 💜💜💜

I love how you guys get a team together and just go out and get it. Living life, truly living it too. It's beautiful and I hope you guys keep exploring for all of us who can't

Baderkhan is the true example of someone who is patriotic. Instead of escaping from the situation the country is in, he wants to build and improve upon it until his last breath. This is what differs people like him from the people who think harming people other than their religion is what patriotism is. Mad respect!

Tbh, i just hope iraq won't face another war. That song, before knowing the meaning, omg, chills and tears. One of the places to go just because, they still have soooo many history to share to tourist.

It's very eye-opening to see this kind of video from Yes Theory. Like there's a beauty, generosity from a place that I never imagined it was existed. Thank you for this video. I first discovered this channel a few months ago and I can't stop watch all of your videos and all the people in it.
Anyway, I'm from Indonesia. Try to visit our country. Indonesia is the country that has the most ethnics in the world. It would be interesting for you to visit.😊😊

This was so inspiring. I've always felt that the Kurdish people are some of the most misunderstood and most welcoming people around. Erbil has been on my bucket list for ages now and this only makes me want to visit more.

Thank you guys, again... for who you are and all you do for humanity (via Yes Theory). Thank you!!

I would love to do half as much as what you do! Clip-Share has created such a platform for people like you to give back instead of greed of keeping the more to live a lavish lifestyle! Gold watches multiple rings, high class sports cars will never diffy a person but what heart you have and the love you give will diffy you as a person, so from me and millions of people i thank you for what you do to give for human kind in general. So much love 💙 I will one day create something like your channel to give all to others who deserve it all, thank you for inspiring me and many others who also do what you do.

“People will not call me a terrorist, but a tourist” . One of the best lines I have ever heard on Clip-Share. Baderkhan seems like an amazing guy. Well done Yes Theory, another amazing upload!

Those Baderkhan's words in the end were truly impressive! Everything this world needs is simply LOVE, no matter what our colour, religion or nationality is. Inside we are all the same.
YES THEORY, Thank You for sharing this message ❤️

This was a fantastic episode. Thank you for the Yes Theory crew for showing me this

So many great quotes from Baderkhan. What a great outlook on life he has. Truly touched!
