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.

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 ♥
That guy's laugh could cure cancer 😂
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 ❤️
30:55 that kid at the back aint enjoying the song
Amazing video on Iraq.Perspective is a hell of a thing.
Never judge a book by its cover
U really shouldn't always trust what u see on the news :)
شكرا اخوانه الأكراد رفعتو راسنا تحيه من الموصل❤️
Skr xode hartm biji zarrma kurmanc kurdistan😘😘😘😘😘💎💎💎💎💎🥰🥰🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍👍👍🖐🖐🖐👌👌👌👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💫🙏💫💫💫💫💫💫🙏🙏🙏🙏💫
It's amazing to see Iraq from a point of view we never get to see otherwise 🥰 Thank you for sharing this experience with us ☺️
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
Kurdistan❤️❤️
The Iraqi Christians people are called Assyrian and Chaldean. They are not Arab or Kurdish. The world needs to know the truth. Don’t 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 ❤️✅😍
This really changed my perspective on Iraq and its beautiful people. Thank you for the work you do, Yes Theory 🙏🏽❤️
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.
thank you for showing my country and the christian history!
👍👏👳♂️🧕🌺☀️🌏🌹🕌💕 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 there’s people upset they don’t have a Mercedes... it just shows you how you really don’t need anything in this world but family, love and a different perspective to be happy! I’m 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 it’s still super dangerous because his base got attacked, but he’s fine .And that’s why it’s never safe in country’s 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 crazy🤯🤯

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
Brilliant vid I love all your videos
Though I’ve 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 couldn’t clap loud enough and I’m 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. She’s inspirational thank you for sharing. Lookin forward to my merch! 😻
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.
@matin lurkurd Okay ✌🏻 🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
@Ahmed Bassem there is no iraq 🐂😃😃😃😃🤣🤣🤣🤣
@matin lurkurd Hahahaha 😅😅😅 Ok 👍🏻
This is kurdistan not iraq
Welcome to #Kurdistan ♥️☀️💚
Love what you lot are doing, your truly connecting people all around the world and just bringing out humanity at its purest! Never change❤
Why just kurdistan
Iraq has many good tour spots
love Bader khan
🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶✌🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😘😘😘😘😘😘
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.
I’m Kurdish and I’ve 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 ❤🇵🇰
Love to iraq from PAKISTAN ❤🇵🇰
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 🇮🇪 I am fascinated with the Middle East and hope to travel there soon ☺️
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. ❤️
HEY YES THEORY- ON YOUR NEXT DROP - SCREEN PRINT SOME OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS ON YOUR CLOTHING. Imagining a collages of all the faces of people you all met to make up the Word YES!
34:28 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
such a beautiful country with beautiful people and unbelievable history and culture but so much of violence and hatred. It's really sad.
Start a company making prefabricated concrete walls. Then get some D9 dozers clear the area and start to build and teach.
Welcome to Kurdistan
Kurdistan❤🥰
Its Kurdistan❤️☀️💚 not Iraq
@Katrina I'm just saying the he's gonna call it Iraqi Kurdistan because it's formally known as Iraqi Kurdistan. When you guys get your independence, people will call it Kurdistan.
@Swiss You dont get my point you're probably not even kurdish. You would look at it differently considering we've been fighting for our independence so yeah maybe its iraqi Kurdistan to you and whoever agrees with you but it will always be Kurdistan for me and whoever agrees with me. Thanks for the information i knew already but did not need 🤦♀️
@Katrina it's formally recognized as Iraqi Kurdistan and is still in Iraq. For it to be recognized as Kurdistan, you guys need to get independence.
@Swiss Its Kurdistan not Iraq
He's gonna call it what the UN calls it.
I'm from iraq and welcome in your country ❤🇮🇶🇹🇯
Welcome to Kurdistan brother
where is kurdistan???? no have a country like that... u visited just Irak
Bruh
I love this!
This was so epic and beautiful ❤️
so you went to Kurdistan and called it IRAQ for the views???
gtfo
Love to Baderkhan and Iraq from Ireland!
This is just pure love.Mankind has been cruel to their own but it’s the act of a few that make us all believe that despite the darkness ,the people of Iraq have still so much to offer,so much culture so much history .Wish the world was borderless and we can roam free ...
العراق بلد الجمال والحضارات
yes bro love can change evry think ❤❤
Go to the south Basra Baghdad
if you guys ever want to visit the north India and want to explore best of the mountains please come in contact with Ronnie & Barty.
You've completely changed my outlook on Iraq

Nice place and presentation.

Nice . Biji kurd

my parents have a newspaper from the day i was born jan 26 1991 and it has news of the sadame regime on the front page
I was there with my UK car in March and I can honestly say it was safer than than you think.
Welcome to Kurdistan ❤️💚💛
well done thank you for this video at me home i am prety good about shear information with bro badrkhan😊😘
Welcome to iraq
I was for four weeks in Northern Iraq on business in 2004, in Sulaymaniyah to be precise. I found nothing than friendly and tolerant people, who wan't to work, have a family and live in peace. I wish I can go back there as a tourist on day.
COME TO PAKISTAN!!!
The girl should wear a normal thirt!!! Its called: respect other country culture!!!!! ‼️
its her choice , not yours and their is no rules in Iraq to wear a certain dress
Across Iraq means from Basra to Zakho which you didn’t do unfortunately so not quite there yet buddy
This video will make my day and i love the kurdish man and his last speach omg was so meaningful I hope iraq and Kurdistan find better safe life
Wellcome to Kurdistan
