I'm probably too late for this, but I just want a flight back home to New York after being trapped in Myanmar for 3 years and having to live in hiding from the military for 2 years. Basically I was working here for a short contract and was in a warehouse accident just before COVID really spread. My business visa expired in May of 2020 (3 years ago) because I was unable to work after reconstructive surgery and a month in the hospital, and in order to extend a business visa you need a company sponsor. Well I had a falling out with my former employer because they would only pay a small part of my medical bills despite the accident being their fault - I fell through some rotting floorboards of their warehouse while working and onto a metal machine below, shattering my upper arm into 6 pieces and injuring my back. So due to our falling out, I couldn't get sponsorship from them and I couldn't get a new job because I was bed ridden. The visa expiring wouldn't have been a big deal, immigration couldn't help me, but the government put it a notice saying that anyone who overstayed because of the border shutdowns and airport closures for COVID would not face penalties. That was the civilian government. In February 2021, the military took power in a coup, and by the time they reopened the borders it was clear they were jailing foreigners for overstayed visas. They also arrested at least I've foreigner for not having a recently updated residency form, which I have not been able to get since my visa expired. So basically if I try to leave it I'm caught here in looking at a 5+ year prison sentence. Most foreign prisoners have picky served a few months or weeks of these sentences (in terrible conditions) before being released early when the junta needs to make themselves look better. The whole thing is just a political game. I could possibly smuggle myself into Thailand without external help, either by a multi-day fishing boat, or over land with the help of pro-democracy rebels, but then I have a problem with the Thai officials for having illegally entered into Thailand (though a much smaller problem). Like I said, in guessing I probably missed this anyway, but if you guys have any connections into Thailand who could smooth things out for me if I could manage to get myself that far, that would be amazing. I want to see my Nana one more time while she's still alive and somewhat coherent, and I want to meet my first niece and see the rest of my family, and not be living in fear 24/7. I know it's a longshot, but I figure you guys must have extra good fixers all over the world, and you made the offer to fly someone to their dream destination, and right now my dream destination is home, despite even having a fianceé here who has been great at keeping me held together, but I could be more help for her just working part time a little in the US and sending her money, since the dollar goes so far here, and then I can come back here when the rebels win the revolution in maybe another year or two. I can't live like this never leaving my apartment and not knowing when I'll ever see my family again. The US Embassy has not been helpful at all and just told me my only option was to turn myself in to immigration, as if this was my fault.
My dream destination is CZECH REPUBLIC. I never have been out of Asia and never had travelled to Europe before. I guess its my long time dream for me but I have not been able to save for I have been helping my 10 siblings once in a while. By the way I am the youngest. But I take so much pride on helping them out. I would like to share my lige and travel with you as well. Soon!
This episode feels like you are just making a joke of the stuggle that millions , if not billions of people go through to access something that a few take for granted and don't even have to think about. You had a problem so you just threw $150,000 plus at it, a sum which is more out of reach than heaven for most people. There are really no words to express the injustice of this passport scam we are facing in the world right now. We are all humans, born equal but as soon as we enter this world now, we get our rights taken away from us. Most frustrating of all is that immigration is a new and horrible invention, humans have travelled for millenia and immigration was not necesary. Freedom to travel is a human right as long as you can move you should not be restricted from going anywhere. The passport and visa issue is a matter of life and death for a lot of people nowadays and it is one of the biggest forms of segregration still going on in the world. One rule for one set of people and another rule for others. There is no logic (despite how they try to convince you) to how countries decide their entry scam, it is just a rip off and there is no independent adjudicator to turn to. People lose life savings on immigration matters and families become destitiute not to mention the heartbreak and all manner of mental illness that families go through due to years of separation and some can even lose touch forever. The biggest lie they like to tell is that they need to keep their resources for theirr own citizens that is why they need to keep others out and its ususally the countries who were plundering nations, who now need to protect their resources for their own citizens. Then if you finally manage to jump all the hurdles, risk life and limb to travel, they ask you why can't you stay in your own country? Well I could ask you the same question, why didn't you stay in your own country from the start? Why do you get to decide you can explore the world but now get to make a rule that actually only certain people are allowed to explore? Whatever I know its a pointless argument.
I’m a resident of St Kitts and Nevis and was surprised to see to this video. It’s great to see that you guys loved the country I grew up in. I haven’t travelled much and would love to go Japan. Much love from SKN 🇰🇳❤
If I had to go anywhere in the world it would be Antartica with my dad as his dad/my grandfather earned a polar medal for his rescue work in polar cravasses, leading to him getting a summit named after him (Mt Wise). To visit this summit or even Antartica would mean a great deal as he died from lung complications early on in my dads life only a few months before I was born. It is so joyous to see Ammar able to fully appreciate the joys of travel without undue stress.
Was born to a Filipino mother and a Malaysian father, the marriage didnt went on papers. Was stateless (someone without citizenship) for almost more than 20 years. That is why i feel the feelings of Amar in his journey of getting alternate citizenship. It was really touched watching the video. I know what it felt like to live without or with limited citizenship rights. It was never easy. Managed to sorted the citizenship problem and got it last year. Havent had the chance to fly to another country. I hope one day i can visit the home country of my mother, which she has been talking about it since i am young. Hopefully I’ll get there someday.
I’m sure I’m not the only one but I literally cried watching this video. Ammar’s story hit too close to home. I moved to the United States 10 years ago from a country in Central Asia called Uzbekistan, I was born and raised there and didn’t want to leave but my parents thought it would be for the best. Not realizing that we would run into the immigration issue, where as soon as I got my American citizenship I could no longer go back home. It’s been 10 years since I’ve seen my family and it pains me every day. Luckily now with the new president in Uzbekistan they eased the laws and it became more possible, the issue now is the plane ticket is extremely expensive for me or any of my family to afford. But despite the American passport making it impossible for me to see my family for 10 years, I’ve definitely been taking advantage of it. I became a part time traveler, I’m 26 years old and I travel solo to countries I’ve never been before. Learning about other cultures, languages, lifestyles etc. Just two months ago I came back from a trip to Finland where my literal dream came true, I saw the northern lights. Thank you, Yes Theory for not only making amazing content but also being so encouraging and touching our souls in the way that you do. We love you guys❤
Congrats on your American citizenship. If you may, can you elaborate why you can't return to Uzbekistan? Does Uzbekistan prohibits dual citizenship or do you need to do national service in Uzbekistan as well?
@@matteoclementi family immigration, my dad is American. I was 15 years old so my parents made the decision for me. They thought it’d be best and I’d have more opportunity to grow here, just wish they did more research at the time and realized that since Uzbekistan doesn’t allow dual citizenship I wouldn’t be able to return home and see my family for 10 years because of it, and how much it would affect me later on
So how is it that you can travel time part time to other countries but you can’t afford a ticket to Uzbekistan? I can’t imagine the price is that much higher than most other tickets?
Seeing Ammar's airport experience was so nice :') he was so happy and must have felt so good after having been treated with so much disrespect for so long.
I agree that it's really outraging to see people being stereotyped just because of their citizenship, especially for a guy like Amar. It doesn't make much sense
when you have a lot of friends and money this is easy. Come take a look at my fucking life and tell me how i am goint to travel the world as a debt slave living from month to month and even then not even making ends meet. Eveyone who can even take a holiday should not take it for granted, so many people can never go
The emotion that Ammar has always shown through this channel has sometimes been tough to watch. To see Ammar so joyous and excited made this video special.
Coming from Nigeria, raised in an underprivileged family. I got the opportunity to travel for the first time this year at 28 years old. Getting the visas were hell, scammed by travel agents. I live in kazakhstan now as an international student on a little funding. My greatest fear is still how i can get visas to travel to other countries during and after my studies. Its sad that some of us are born without freedom, but we hope to give our all in life to give our children the freedom we seek. I truly understand Amar, and the Yes theory team are great guys. I immediately went to St Witts and Nevis website but i saw the citizenship was by investment. I hope one day, the universe will smile on me too😊
Applying visas is nothing, never ever goto agents. Always point out , which is the official website for that destination country and just follow the process, terms and conditions and eligibility and just apply. You can save a lot of money if you applying directly through official website of that respective country.
I'm sorry to tell you that and I don't want to discourage you but the EU and UK will probably cancel the visa-free access for those types of passports. In fact, any citizenship by investment will likely be excluded from the visa waiver privilege. This will also give ideas to other countries so if I were you I wouldn't really rely on such passports. What I'm saying already happened to Dominica and Vanuatu for example. Also, Hungary used to have a such program and now the US doesn't allow a visa-free access for people having a Hungarian passport but who were not born in Hungary. Also, the EU puts a huge pressure on any country that has visa-free privileges to the Schengen area and that offers a golden passport. They made everything to make Greece and Hungary abandon their programs and they succeeded. So be really careful when you're about to invest money on such things as when it's cheap and fast to obtain a citizenship, it only means that the program will lose its credibility.

Hi! I'm from South Africa and I've always dreamed of seeing the world. Last week, I went skydiving for my 21st birthday (repping Seek Discomfort obviously). I've been following you guys since 2018 when I was at a point in my life where I was afraid and unconfident in the world and myself. Watching you guys has taught me to say eff it, and ever since I've been doing more and more things that scare me. My parents were born and raised in Apartheid South Africa, the majority of the population was born during Apartheid, and in the country there is still a gaping whole where trust between people should be. I think that Africa has been overlooked by the world and by its own people because of the pain of the past and the deep lack of trust. My biggest dream is to travel around Africa and to learn from it and it's people no matter how much this terrifies me. This being said, I would love to go to Rwanda.
Your videos inspired me to get a passport at 33 years old with a toddler. I have avoided discomfort while dreaming of faraway places and obsessively watching travel videos. Yours is the first that has truly lit a fire inside me. I studied French for many years and, afraid of studying abroad, quietly let it slip away. Your videos have shown the importance of connecting with others even with a language barrier. I started taking French lessons again and my dream is to visit Guadeloupe, very near Ammar’s new home country, to speak French with locals and immerse myself in their culture.
St. Kitts has a pretty neat flag! The green symbolizes the islands' fertile land (the Kalinago originally named St. Kitts, Liamuiga, meaning "fertile land"), the red symbolizes the bloodshed against slavery and colonialism, the yellow represents the nation's continuous sunshine, the two stars represent the islands and hope and liberty, and the black symbolizes the people's African origins. Besides Hamilton, something else the islands are famous for is being the home of the viral alcoholic vervet monkeys that the BBC once showed on Weird Nature. Vervet monkeys aren't native to the islands, they're originally from Africa and snuck on ships. They adapted there by eating sugarcane, but they just love to snatch people's drinks right on the beach!
The way you all interact with eachother and with strangers from all over the world is truly inspiring. It keeps reminding us we are here in this life journey altogether. Personally, I have never been out of Europe and it is my dream to go to Costa Rica. When I'm there I would love to help at an animal sanctuary, cherish nature, learn Spanish, meet new people and learn how to surf! Thank you for putting a smile on our face and reminding us how beautiful live can be when you choose love over fear.
Holy shit, the amount of effort you guys put into a single video is unimaginable. The fact that you can put several thousands of dollars into one small segment of a video just proves that you and your team actually care about what you are doing. Not even just that, but also the videography, the dedication to the camera shots and the film quality is astonishing, and then theres the fact that these heart-warming moments, like Ammar being able to finally travel where he wants and NOT get stopped by an immigration officer is just amazing to hear and great to watch. If I were to pick a place for my dream country to visit, it would probably be Japan, I'd love to go there because of the History, Culture, Cuisine and the general kindness of the public. Even just to learn about the country is astonishing, wither thats the geography - like the huge mountains in the snowy north, or the boiling volcanoes in the heated south, it is all stupidly interesting. Same with the history, like how the last 100 samurais defeated an entire Mongol army, and how emperors have been backstabbed over the many years. I find it amazing. But seriously, I personally think this video is seriously well made, and I am extremely happy for Ammar.
having dated an egyptian who was going through the same immigration process and getting passports I know just how bad everything Ammar is going through is just awful. Being able to see his face being free is absolutely amazing. I cried tears of joy for him. Im so happy for you! Thank you for sharing this.
As someone that is planning on moving to St. Kitts for Medical School this video helped me see how beautiful it is as well as how kind their people are. As a fellow Caribbean gal I hope this is a good experience. I will also add that this whole starting med school and moving has brought me a lot of discomfort, anxiety and doubts. I will take your messages of “seek discomfort” as a sign from the universe telling me to go ahead and not have fear, but to welcome the experience with love. Thank you. ❤
I've been a supporter for 4 years now and seeing Ammar finally be able to travel with no stress was so heartwarming to see. From the first video I watched you guys have always preached to “seek discomfort”. As someone who struggles with anxiety who hates the idea of going outside their comfort zone, seeing you guys do what you love to do and spread the message of doing what makes you uncomfortable to experience those adventures, those unforgettable experiences that you wouldn’t have otherwise is truly inspiring so thank you ! I personally have always wanted to go to japan. Since I did a project on it in elementary school I fell in love with the culture and it has been a dream to visit since. Thank you guys for the endless videos that you put so much effort into from all of us !
This was so heart warming. I've never seen anything more genuine in my life. I've been crying tears of joy seeing this. You all have been a huge inspiration and influence on my life since I was ten. At my job I constantly yell my customers and coworkers to seek discomfort and live their best lives. I strive to bring your message to the world and live it. I am a barista making minimum wage and I don't get many travel opportunities. If I had a dream destination it would be Finland. I am slowly falling in love with a girl from Helsinky that I met while camping with my moms friends. I've sadly never had the opportunity to go and meet with her again. She told me that someday we have to see the northern lights and visit Lapland. Thank you for both helping me out of depression and keeping me seeking love and discomfort. Please it would mean more than the world to go to Finland! 🇫🇮
I can’t even afford to go on vacations as I’m an underpaid teacher and mom of 3. I don’t say this as a pity thing but as a THANK YOU for sharing all of your incredible adventures. Sharing the hard time and the insanely beautiful good times. It truly makes me strive to do better in my life and to one day be able to travel with my babies. You guys are changing peoples lives and I hope you never stop shining.
You have such a positive attitude. You will definitely be able to travel with your kids one day. For now, why not mention your favourite destination in your comment. Maybe, just maybe they pick you 😄
@YogaBlissDance You missed the 'underpaid with 3 children' part. Your suggestion is to save when she has bills and children to think of. Unbelievable!
Guatemala. I was adopted as a little kid from Guatemala about 8 months old. I have always wanted to visit and explore and experience the culture that I have come from. If not me being able to visit maybe you guys will sometime soon! Ammars story is so moving and really makes me be grateful for the life I was given. So inspiring, love you guys!
My parents are Guatemalan and I've gone so many times. As a kid I didn't appreciate it but now that I'm older it's honestly such an amazing place to visit. I hope you're able to go someday!
I also wrote, another place, for them to pick me but I hope they pick you! Hope you get to see your roots! Knowing where we come from is such an important thing in life! Much love! Nat
My kids are Guatemalan. Their mom was adopted as well. She loved going back when I brought her. Go when you're ready. It is a truly beautiful country and culture.
Having been a subscriber for quite some time it's been amazing to follow Amar through this journey I'm so happy he's finally got a passport that can allow him to travel freely. I also wanted to say thank you to Yes Theory you guys got me out of a really tough time in my life and I'm now seeking discomfort, I've started traning for a half iron man at 16 and I'm going on loads of adventures with my friends. This summer I hope to go to Sri Lanka where my parents are from and experience that. From the bottom of my hart thanks again guys and keep seeking discomfort!
Coming from a conservative family I have always been an INTROVERT guy! If you ask my parents, few years back when I used to go out with them I wouldn't even utter a word. After watching Yes Theory and seeing you guys getting rid of your fear of rejections it struck me and ever since then I have been trying to get rid of mine too! It has brought so much positive change in me that I can't even express. It literally brought out tears to my eyes seeing Amar this happy and the amount of positive vibe he carries within himself. As a person coming from India I would love to visit California to hangout with you guys in the Yes Theory house to help me kick my fear of rejection out of the park! Keep making beautiful videos.
It seems fate had a lot to play in Ammars story of investing in a St Kitts passport. The first immigration officer he meets on the beautiful island is so very friendly and welcoming and his name means generous in Arabic. Wow. You just couldnt make that up. Its fab to see you back and cant wait to see your next adventure xx
I’ve watched RUclips for 5 years. And it wasn’t until last week that I discovered Yes Theory. My only regret is not finding you sooner! This content is brilliant, beautiful, meaningful, and truly, truly inspiring. My husband and I have cried so many tears over the last week as we have binged the videos. #seekdiscomfort
I’m genuinely so happy for Ammar, it’s crazy how often so many of us forget about this privilege we’re born with but don’t realise. Enjoy this man, you deserve it!
I hardly ever comment but this one brought flood gate of tears and a mangle of emotions. Hearing the devastating news Ammar not able to visit his mom angered me but also knowing you have an angel covering you. Then pure unfiltered joy of arriving and experiencing St Kitts and Nevis took me to other spectrum of tears, the happy ones. Yes Theory thank you for living so real and so transparent and the ripples you continue to leave behind. I've been on this journey with your from the beginning and I am nearing my 50's {yes it is true} and to see you all grow (ing) to incredible humans makes my heart incredibly happy. There is hope. May your journey of Yes Theory never stop and may we never stop inspiring each other. Yoh this was a long a** one. Oh and Norway Senja to meet Steffen Fossbakk would be elite { a not so young girl can dream}
This is so heartwarming to watch, especially the person who helped you guys. My new motto in life is "Have no fear." As someone who lives close to the equator, my dream destination is Svalbard! I'd love to experience cold weather.
As a 15-year-old Saudi Arabian girl, I have enormous hopes of meeting people, traveling, and experiencing the unimaginable. I struggle with moving out of my comfort zone due to my social anxiety, but watching your videos has truly helped me take baby steps toward overcoming my fear of being vulnerable and uncomfortable. I'd like to travel alone or with some friends without being able to always rely on my family to make me happy, thus I'd like to make myself happy by going to Barbados.
Born and raised in the most remote parts of Kenya, Africa, I struggled to meet my basic needs. Despite the fact that I enjoy travelling, I have never had the opportunity to travel outside of my country due to financial constraints. My dream destination is China; the country has many exciting adventures that I would like to experience. YesTheory has been my greatest motivation since discovering this channel. After watching your video with WIM HOLF, you inspired me to face my health problem, asthma, which I have had since I was a child.
using my dream destination entry to hope this person to be selected. I hope you get to experience the world outside of Kenya soon! You would be welcomed by me in the USA!
Its so beautiful to see Ammar travel without the headaches of immigration. As a Nigerian, I Can relate to this as well. The freedom that this passport comes with is unfathomable. Its so cool to see ST kitts through the eyes of the Yes Theory team. Such a beautiful country with beautiful people.
As a 46 year old disabled veteran presently laid up by injuries, watching Yes Theory really drives home how much life I've lost, and how things really need to change inside of me to learn how to live again. As beautiful of a life that Thomas and Ammar are living, it still hurts to watch, knowing my life has been wasted, and I am no longer capable of such REAL experiences. Maybe in my next life.
Jesus is will heal you my friend have faith nothing is impossible for god and with god❤ don’t loose hope Jesus have plans for you to prosper not to harm reach to him I’m sure he’ll heal you ❤love you ❤
You know you're watching @YesTheory when you realise you've been smiling solidly for the entire duration of the film. Keep strong Ammar. We're with you. X
I know for a fact I’m not the only one that tears up every time we see Ammar get so close to going home or have trouble at immigration. This was such a wholesome episode ❤ Without a doubt I’ll be a blubbering mess when he finally gets to go back to Egypt 💫💜 P.s dream flight, Africa. Zimbabwe area. I saw a documentary about it where they had a safari lodge along the Zambezi river where the elephants came to eat the mangos off their tree, I’ve been obsessed ever since. Big love guys x
As a viewer for an extended period of time, this was beyond heartwarming seeing the smile on Ammar’s face! My dream destination would be Amsterdam. Before my father passed, he promised that he would take me to see his “ most favorite place on Earth”. I really love what Yes Theory stands for and cannot wait to see what is coming up next! Keep Seeking Discomfort Everyone!
You are amazing guys!!! Ammar - congrats man! This is so inspiring. Me and my wife live in Canada, but originally from Ukraine, (Eastern part of Ukraine, where war started 9 years ago). We are trying to plan a trip to Europe (Italy or Germany), and trying to get our parents, my dad and my wife parents and brother to one of the countries near the boarder to see them first time in over 6 years. It maybe not our dream destination but is our dream to see our loved ones. It takes a lot of logistics and planning. Any input will be greatly appriciated. Thank you for what you are doing. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Ukrainian Heroes!
As an egyptian citizen, i feel your struggle, Ammar. i’m so glad that you’re choosing to be grateful and seeing that everything happens for a reason. I hope one day you get reunited with your family in Egypt and even do a meet and greet where i can meet and get inspired by you:) Much love to Yes theory.
As someone also born with an unprivileged passport and struggled my whole life with visas and immigration, I genuinely felt every single emotion in this video, especially Ammar's gratefulness and appreciation! Thank you guys for sharing this story! My dream destination for now is the Netherlands, to able able to visit my partner. We've been separated for a while and it's only her that come visit me (rarely) instead since she don't need a visa.
Once again I'm crying tears of joy watching YesTheory..so happy for Ammar..the look of pure joy on his face .the weight off his shoulders..enjoy brother!!!
I love seeing the bond between the boys..how much love they have for each other and the support they give each other is so inspiring..this is how men should relate...big love to the team!
Congrats on your passport!! I really like your philosphy and enthusiasm. You set the bar high for going out of your comfort zone. I would like to see you do it for longer. You have a huge platform and you all have that x factor, please use it for damn worthy subjects like social issues, not just travel and fun. Keep having fun thou, it doesn't always have to be serious issues, even if you do a 3-5 min segment on a serious issue. You're artists, and art is about issues and advocacy.
"I don't think this is a moment to give up, it's a moment to regroup" Thomas you're too wise for your own good. Honestly that quote can apply to many different faucets of life's problems.
The first video I ever watched of Yes Theory was the trip to Tuvalu. Ever since I’ve fell in love with the concept of traveling to places that no one ever goes, exploring the area, and getting to know the people. Watching you guys inspired me to get a degree in english and embark on adventures, documenting my journey as I go. If I got the free trip I’d truly see no place more fit to go than where my inspiration began: Tuvalu. With somewhat clandestine twist of fate, a boy who grew up in a small town in Arkansas, and watched a RUclips video about a place no one’s ever heard of, would find himself there only a few years later. It would mean the world.
Great video, guys! I wanted to share that I'm currently homeless in Sweden and I haven't been able to see my one-year-old child in five months. Watching your videos has helped make my days at the hostel a little easier. Even though I don't have a dream country to go to, I appreciate the positivity and inspiration you bring to my life. Keep up the good work and peace.
As an Egyptian , I was crying throughout the whole video as I will never be privileged to even be able to afford this passport and that everything is really hard and I have to work 100x harder to be able to even dream of traveling and the amount of unfairness and sadness I am feeling now is crazy 💔
I have always wanted to go to Japan! I’m 38 years old and I’m about to get my bachelor’s degree after dropping out of college more than 15 years ago. Watching Japanese walking tour videos gives me comfort in times when I feel my lowest. I’m residing in the Philippines and travelling isn’t as easy compared to other citizens of other countries. Even if I’m not chosen, I’ll still work my way to get this dream fulfilled! So happy to see Ammar visit the country that has opened up and made his world reachable! Love you guys!
The privilege of freely travelling around the world is so much underrated. Congrats to Ammar, and greetings to the rest of the Yes Theory. On a separate note, I would love to go to New Zealand!
This brought me to tears, I have watched your journey for many years and I am so happy you got to visit St. Kitts and Nevis. As a Jamaican living in Canada and not being able to see my family for 12 plus years, this cuts really deep. I'm not usually a very lucky person but I am trying to live outside my comfort zone more and more each day. Sooo here goes nothing, my dream destination is Jamaica, to go back home to see my mom, dad and brother and have them finally meet their granddaughter, my baby girl born in 2020. I pray you will be able to see your family soon Ammar without fear, it is heartbreaking to see your tears, be strong❤❤❤❤.
Hey guys, I am pretty there are plenty of options and beautiful stories here. But I believe this one should be picked. I am already excited for them! And cheering up from Brazil…
I'm so happy to see Ammar finally being free, and when he said that speech about not taking it for granted i cried. Your videos never fail to lift me up , and they always restore my faith in humanity. My dream destination is anywhere with you just one day.
My dad is going through some tough times in his life right now, he lost his job 2 years ago and has since become an alcoholic. He has always wanted to go New Zealand to see the world from a different perspective. I would love for you guys to talk to him and give him some words of encouragement. Keep up the great videos and thank you to the whole Seek Discomfort team for helping me realize there is more to this world then fear and anxiety! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
Coming from South Africa the options for visa free countries are few and far between. After recently acquiring a Portuguese passport through my grandparents who were born there I’ve longed to travel to Portugal and the island of Madeira to see the church they got married in. Hopefully I’ll get there someday. Thanks for always putting out inspiring content to the world 😊
Isn't it beautiful how Kareems name in Arabic means generous, love how things came full circle ❤ This is just so heart warming, welcome to the Caribbean! It's true that selling citizenship does get a negative light, yet I am glad that someone with a heart like Ammars got to reap the benefits of the passport ❤
The whole philosophy of the Yes Theory team resonates so strongly, in such a positive way. Love not only the places and challenges but they way you engage with locals and support each other. Living in Australia, my dream is to head as far north as possible. I would LOVE to visit Svalbard. To experience life where sunlight ranges from all day to zero would be just so far out of my experience, would be just so, so, incredible. Keep pumping out the adventures, they are inspiring.
So happy that Staffan is now part of yes theory! He spreads so much joy and he is always the brightest light in the room! So happy that we are able to see him more often through this channel! Go Staffan! 💙🤗
Do you know from what video the clip 0:22 is from? ive been trying to find it in all of their channels but im struggling, Staffan is AWESOME! He so deserves it!
Seeing Ammar finally being able to travel, explore and just be there with the rest of the Yes Theory Crew is just.. oh man that really gets me in my heart.
My husband isn’t a US citizen and knows too well the immigration nightmare. So excited to see everything come full circle for you, Ammar! You’re an inspiration! Hawaii, Fiji, or Maldives would make this exhausted 4th grade teacher’s ENTIRE LIFE. Regardless of whoever you choose, thank you for making such amazing videos that encourage everyone to choose joy, positivity, and acceptance of everyone. We need more people like Yes Theory in this world!
As a person who lived abroad for 7 years, I cannot even imagine what it would be like to not be able to go back home for so long. I am glad to see you smiling guys. Indeed, freedom is everything. And btw, my dream destination is Patagonia in Chile. I'll get there one day :)
It fills me with joy to see Ammar this happy. I remember the videos where i wished for him to participate, but he wouldn't be allowed to pass the border or couldn't come along because of the egyptian citizenship. It always broke my heart to see Ammar, this kind, outgoing, and joyful man, to struggle so much, just because of such reasons. I hope to one day meet the yes theory members in person, somewhere on our earth. Until then, i thank you on here.
Being from a country that is only allowed by 46 countries visa free i know what Ammar is feeling and can relate to his pain and i wish him the best with his new found passport my dream destination would be Japan and if i get selected would be god sent thank you all for all you do and keep preaching positivity.
I really hope you win this trip, I feel like you deserve it more than anyone else in this comment section. I hope u overcome your limitations of your passport and be able to travel around later in life
This was a truly truly beautiful story and it was so amazing to see just how much even the smallest gesture's can mean in order to so dramatically improve someone's life day to day! If I could go anywhere in the world, especially with you guys, it would be to Fiji. I have had the privalidge to work with many many Fijians over the past few years here in the UK, and I can say from the bottom of my heart that I have truly never met a kinder people. I would love to go and experience where they call home and to help spread the word and love of their land to the world.
So happy for you Ammar ♥️ I'm holding a Malaysian passport & after you share your story, I realize how privilege we are 🥺 Wish everyone who is kind can travel happily 🤍
As an Egyptian who has gone through similar experiences, I truly feel Ammar's pain. Good for you Ammar, congratulations! As for my dream destination, I have always wanted to go to Tromso, Norway and see the northern lights!
hey bro im the only son do you have to go fill out papers and stuff to get a military exemption or is it automatically done and if u need papers what do u need
Seeing Ammar go through that heartache and pain broke me and reminded me of my own struggle, wanting to reconnect with family in Puerto Rico. You can honestly see how homesick he is and how much he misses his family. I'm glad this video showed he has the rest of the yes crew that can rally together like a real family unit. I really hope he is able to go home and visit his family in Egypt soon.
Iceland has always struck me as a place out of a storybook, I’ve never been impacted like that. It’s so beautiful it almost feels unreal, and I know that I’ll find myself there one day, that’s more of a promise to myself than anything. Thank you guys for really helping people, myself included, to strive to go adventure and experience the world. Today it feels so much easier to just sit and watch things through a screen, but life is so much more beautiful than that, and already in the time I’ve been subscribed and watching your content, I’ve pushed myself to see more places. I even went to New York for the first time in my life for the Iceman Premiere, and it was an experience I’ll never forget! You all deserve everything you’ve achieved. I feel Yes Theory truly has made the world a better place. Love you guys and congratulations to Ammar!!!!!
Every episode the stories just keep getting better and better. New Zealand and Iceland seem like two countries with amazing vistas that I have always wanted to visit.
I was actually crying when I see the immigration guy join you , he’s the kindest have ever seen , have never in my my seen immigration person so open like this , God bless him ❤
It's so heart-warming yet so hurtful to see such happiness on something as simple as freedom. Everyone deserves the right to travel wherever and i'm glad you have finally got the chance to do what you've always wanted to do; travel the world. This channel has been a huge inspiration for me and many of my friends, from the dedicated attitude towards each and every piece of content, to the other-worldly scenes of the amazing places you visit. But to answer your question towards the end, two places (because I couldn't decide between them) I have always dreamed of visiting is Iceland and the Philippines (very different I know) due to both their populations' general kindness, intriguing local cuisine and immaculate natural scenery that you don't see anywhere else from Iceland's Blue Lagoon and moss covered houses, to the Chocolate Hills and clear blue waters of the Philippines they are places that me and my friends could only dream of going...
I've been watching Yes Theory for years, and this inspired me last year to make a solo trip through Europe which was incredible, where I met so many new amazing and kind people, and that I would've never had the courage to do without you guys. So thank you so much for all you do, and my dream destination is the same as the editor's, lol, New Zealand, for me the most beautiful country on Earth, but also on the other side of it for me.
That is incredibly brave and courageous of you that is amazing!! I admire your effort to push out of your comfort zone! And OMG going to New Zealand sounds amazing!! Proud of you Micalius
I had heard a little about Yes Theory but only started watching your videos about a month ago. I have been traveling since 1996 and found myself becoming more and more addicted to pushing outside of my comfort zone and finding the kindness of strangers where ever we traveled to. Your channel really resonates with me. You do a much better job of communicating why my husband and I truly love those moments of discomfort and how travel has changed us. Thank you for putting this message out there. I feel seen.
I cried when I saw Ammar's relief on his face. That is what I wished for myself my whole life. As a Turkish citizen, I would like to visit the Greek islands I can see on the horizon without a visa. It takes insane amount of time and money just to get a Schengen visa for a week. Number of places I can visit without a visa is very limited.
I’ve been watching Yes Theory for 6 years and I’ve never lost the amount of inspiration and love you put out, even throughout your breaks. It has always been a goal of mine to travel to every Spanish speaking country due to my Hispanic heritage and aspirations to work for the United Nations (5 months away from my degree!). I would love to visit Equatorial Guinea due to the stories of the people and their generosity that can’t be compared to anywhere else on this planet. Much love Yes Theory, and Ammar, thanks for sharing your story and struggles, you have inspired not only me but everyone around me to overcome adversity, even if every door appears shut.
The country I've been dreaming of going to since 2014 is India. The reason is that I met an Indian guy on Facebook and we have been friends ever since. I am from little town of Lithuania, India seemed soo exotic to me! Over the years, we both grew together talking about our cultures, our backgrounds, starting families and growing professionally. I started to admire Indian culture so much thanks to Raj!For me personally, he is the person who has walked with me through the most difficult paths of my life, who has supported me emotionally, even though he was in another part of the world, I still felt I had him completely in my life. And that connection is still there. He will always be important to me, even though we don't talk every day, but he has a part of my heart. I know that one day, no matter what happens, we will meet so that we can look into each other's eyes, not through a screen. ☺️
@@shreevardhanmundhra7461 Haha! Thank you for the comment! That's what I want! But we're not a long-distance couple! We're just friends, it's just that our connection hasn't faded after all these years, even though he's newly married and I'm building a life with a wonderful guy! 🤗 I just want to meet a person who has had such a big positive impact on my life. Finances and life events just didn't allow it.
I’m filled with joy for Ammar!! This was such a hearty felt experience for him. I can’t wait to see what’s to come. If I had to choose a place to travel to… my dream destination would be Egypt .♥️🇪🇬
I absolutely fell in love with this video. I teared up when you mentioned Ammar not being able to visit home. I have not seen my family in Brazil since I was 15 . I work 60-70 hours a week to pay bills and have been yearning to see them again for some time now. It has been over 6 years and I just miss it all so much
I live in London. Was Born and raised here and have never left this little city. Throughout the years I have had many places on my bucket list to travel too. Greece, Sweden, Svalbard... However, I have met this wonderful person through online gaming, we have been talking for almost a year now and I think it's finally time to leave my nest and travel to Germany to meet her. We've always talked about what we'd do when we first meet each other, all the places we would go, all the acitivities there are to do there. Watching Yes Theory videso all these years made me say yes to discomfort and agree to go visit her in the Summer. It is now currently my dream destination to go to Germany as it would be one of the first steps to me being more adventerous, more courageous and of course to meet this special girl.
Your "nest city" London was my first step, like you said. I don't know if you love your city, but I've spent 3 summers in London and I changed completely. My advice, if I can, is after this experience don't stop. Every summer take 2 weeks to travel the world, and bring your special girl (Traveling in 2 is the perfect number for every trip). Try to visit every year different places and maybe come back in other again. Don't be shy to speak the local language and do not care about making mistakes. I hope I haven't been boring or annoying to you. Hope you gonna find yourself in Germany (beautiful country btw) and the right girl.
I´m from Colombia and with a huge effort I was able to visit and study English for a couple of months in Malta in 2019, where I met one my closest friends who is Taiwanese and we still keep in touch. Since meeting her, I´ve always dreamt of visiting her in her country so we can finally see each other after all these years. It´d be the experience of my life being able to see her again.
I took a graduation trip to St Kitts and then a few years later spent a week with my family on Nevis. Absolutely gorgeous islands, super friendly people, lots of fun things to go do.
This story was truly inspiring. I am a Kittitian and I am proud of how my fellow Kittitians embraced your warmth during your visit. Stay hopeful, Ammar will be reunited with his family. My dream vacation is a Euro trip. I would really love to visit Paris.
This episode made me so emotional, I'm an Egyptian and it's really hard to leave this country's boarders and because of that I've never been anywhere outside of Egypt. a dream of mine was always to visit Italy for the arts just seeing the sculptors and architecture in pictures gives me goosebumps and to be honest I'm a sucker for Italian cuisine. I just wanted to say I'm really happy for you Ammar your story is so inspiring and so motivating and I wish one day very soon you'll be able to come back and visit your family and eat a well deserved Molokheya and Mahshy Waraa Enab 😂❤
This is such an eyeopening experience to hear so many, even from the same country that aren't able to travel. I really hope you are able to travel to the places you want to see, experience the world for what it is, and bring your spark to the world. Thank you for sharing this RIA.
@@riasings Awww!!! Also what the heck I checked out one of your covers. Your voice is so strong yet softly focused. Have you ever been able to consider travelling? I know some about what Ammar has described about his experience, is yours similar?
My dream destination would be Australia. I have wanted to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef since I was a little kid, and it’s what inspired me to become a marine biologist! Especially now that all the corals are dying I feel like I should go sooner rather than later but it’s so far and therefore expensive. Also, loved this video. I am so happy for Amar to finally have an easy customs experience. It’s easy to take that for granted as an American citizen and it’s a good reminder to be grateful!
Since becoming apart of the yes fam 4 years ago, I always love watching your videos that perfectly encapsulate the connections we all have and the vast world to explore. Each second of the video makes me feel like I am vicariously living and experiencing the world through you, which has inspired me to step outside my comfort zone and go on my own adventures, with friends and even by myself. A dream of mine has always been Cambodia for it's rich cultural and spectacular landscape. Thank you for all the opportunities you give everyone and inspiring us all to make the most of our lives!
Great to see you guys and specially you Ammar enjoying that freedom ❤️ Personally I would love to hangout out with you guys in person anyhwere in the world !
Seeing Ammar this happy made me so emotional. After all he's been through he deserves to finally travel stress free and without going through the tedious process of applying for a visa. I love that the boys came along and shared this experience with you ❤️. The place that I'd love to go to is Australia, I feel naturally drawn to the diverse landscapes, culture, nature and its people
Thank You beautiful souls for bringing me much needed joy in my life. Thank you for filling my heart to overflowing. Thank you for sharing Ammars personal story that moved me to tears. Thank you for making Stephan a permanent team member, he always makes my face have big smiles. Thank you trip coordinaters, behind the scenes team, videographers and film production editors for making me feel like I've just taken each journey with you each time. I especially love seeing the deep gratitude you all have for your bonds of frienship and making life a miracle to experience together. #welldone I would love to solicit strangers anywhere in the world with all of you. My bucket list: Ireland Germany Paris, France Stephan's hometown ❤
As I looked through this comment section I saw that yes theory members never stop, every person who stated there dreams or locations was always met with someone in the comments offering assistance or a place to stay❤️ we love you yes theory because you inspire normal people to take a chance!❤️ please never lose that because you inspire millions ❤️
Dream destination is New Zealand. I would love to spend a week, take my camera, and show the world through my eyes. You could send me anywhere, and with my camera I'd show what I thought was beautiful. I love your work and all the choices you make. I wish I had the drive to do some of these things, I always find something holding me back, I want to travel, I want to see the world. I need to start fighting for it. Thank you again for all your videos, and all the inspiration.
This hits home for me so much. I'm (was) Indonesian. I attained a German passport after moving here after high school and been living here for a decade. This year, I came to Indonesia recently as a tourist and it was such a weird feeling. Seeing your vid, it reminded me again that home can be anywhere in the world that welcomes you with open arms. I'm so happy that St. Kitts & Nevis gave you the sunshine you deserve, Ammar! PS: The USA, California especially would be my dream trip. :)
You have probably heard that the german government plans to allow dual citizenship. I hope there is the possibility for you to get your Indonesian citizenship back (although i don't know if Indonesia allows dual citizenship).
@@dietapferetrantute7679 Indonesia doesnt allow dual citizenship. I am myself hold Indonesian passport. So traveling to other countries, sometimes nothing but a headache for me (all the paperwork, interviews etc 😢). So I also know the struggle
This is such a heartwarming story. I'm glad he was able to get to visit the beautiful country that gave him his freedom. For me my dream destination would be Zambia to see where my grandparents used to live and to visit family there who I have never met!
This video motivated me to search for a Yes Theory community in Romania and guess what? I found one on Facebook. Looking forward to Seek Disconfort together 🎉

I'm probably too late for this, but I just want a flight back home to New York after being trapped in Myanmar for 3 years and having to live in hiding from the military for 2 years.
Basically I was working here for a short contract and was in a warehouse accident just before COVID really spread. My business visa expired in May of 2020 (3 years ago) because I was unable to work after reconstructive surgery and a month in the hospital, and in order to extend a business visa you need a company sponsor. Well I had a falling out with my former employer because they would only pay a small part of my medical bills despite the accident being their fault - I fell through some rotting floorboards of their warehouse while working and onto a metal machine below, shattering my upper arm into 6 pieces and injuring my back. So due to our falling out, I couldn't get sponsorship from them and I couldn't get a new job because I was bed ridden.
The visa expiring wouldn't have been a big deal, immigration couldn't help me, but the government put it a notice saying that anyone who overstayed because of the border shutdowns and airport closures for COVID would not face penalties. That was the civilian government.
In February 2021, the military took power in a coup, and by the time they reopened the borders it was clear they were jailing foreigners for overstayed visas. They also arrested at least I've foreigner for not having a recently updated residency form, which I have not been able to get since my visa expired. So basically if I try to leave it I'm caught here in looking at a 5+ year prison sentence. Most foreign prisoners have picky served a few months or weeks of these sentences (in terrible conditions) before being released early when the junta needs to make themselves look better. The whole thing is just a political game.
I could possibly smuggle myself into Thailand without external help, either by a multi-day fishing boat, or over land with the help of pro-democracy rebels, but then I have a problem with the Thai officials for having illegally entered into Thailand (though a much smaller problem).
Like I said, in guessing I probably missed this anyway, but if you guys have any connections into Thailand who could smooth things out for me if I could manage to get myself that far, that would be amazing. I want to see my Nana one more time while she's still alive and somewhat coherent, and I want to meet my first niece and see the rest of my family, and not be living in fear 24/7.
I know it's a longshot, but I figure you guys must have extra good fixers all over the world, and you made the offer to fly someone to their dream destination, and right now my dream destination is home, despite even having a fianceé here who has been great at keeping me held together, but I could be more help for her just working part time a little in the US and sending her money, since the dollar goes so far here, and then I can come back here when the rebels win the revolution in maybe another year or two. I can't live like this never leaving my apartment and not knowing when I'll ever see my family again.
The US Embassy has not been helpful at all and just told me my only option was to turn myself in to immigration, as if this was my fault.
My dream destination is CZECH REPUBLIC. I never have been out of Asia and never had travelled to Europe before. I guess its my long time dream for me but I have not been able to save for I have been helping my 10 siblings once in a while. By the way I am the youngest. But I take so much pride on helping them out. I would like to share my lige and travel with you as well. Soon!
I will
This episode feels like you are just making a joke of the stuggle that millions , if not billions of people go through to access something that a few take for granted and don't even have to think about. You had a problem so you just threw $150,000 plus at it, a sum which is more out of reach than heaven for most people. There are really no words to express the injustice of this passport scam we are facing in the world right now. We are all humans, born equal but as soon as we enter this world now, we get our rights taken away from us. Most frustrating of all is that immigration is a new and horrible invention, humans have travelled for millenia and immigration was not necesary. Freedom to travel is a human right as long as you can move you should not be restricted from going anywhere. The passport and visa issue is a matter of life and death for a lot of people nowadays and it is one of the biggest forms of segregration still going on in the world. One rule for one set of people and another rule for others. There is no logic (despite how they try to convince you) to how countries decide their entry scam, it is just a rip off and there is no independent adjudicator to turn to. People lose life savings on immigration matters and families become destitiute not to mention the heartbreak and all manner of mental illness that families go through due to years of separation and some can even lose touch forever. The biggest lie they like to tell is that they need to keep their resources for theirr own citizens that is why they need to keep others out and its ususally the countries who were plundering nations, who now need to protect their resources for their own citizens. Then if you finally manage to jump all the hurdles, risk life and limb to travel, they ask you why can't you stay in your own country? Well I could ask you the same question, why didn't you stay in your own country from the start? Why do you get to decide you can explore the world but now get to make a rule that actually only certain people are allowed to explore? Whatever I know its a pointless argument.
Helo brother
Which agency did you use to acquire your St Kitts passport?
Thanks
finally seeing Ammar to be able to do this with zero stress is indeed, heartwarming.
@Leaked Videos bollocks
so many years watching these guys grow and I am more then in my feelings for Ammar
He cries about everything
He is from rich family who can afford to pay for St Kits passport. Majority of Egyptians are not so privileged.
@@americannightmare2109 that he does 😂 but still, it doesn't mean we can't be happy for him right? 😁

If I had to go anywhere in the world it would be Antartica with my dad as his dad/my grandfather earned a polar medal for his rescue work in polar cravasses, leading to him getting a summit named after him (Mt Wise). To visit this summit or even Antartica would mean a great deal as he died from lung complications early on in my dads life only a few months before I was born. It is so joyous to see Ammar able to fully appreciate the joys of travel without undue stress.
Was born to a Filipino mother and a Malaysian father, the marriage didnt went on papers. Was stateless (someone without citizenship) for almost more than 20 years. That is why i feel the feelings of Amar in his journey of getting alternate citizenship. It was really touched watching the video. I know what it felt like to live without or with limited citizenship rights. It was never easy. Managed to sorted the citizenship problem and got it last year. Havent had the chance to fly to another country. I hope one day i can visit the home country of my mother, which she has been talking about it since i am young. Hopefully I’ll get there someday.
Of course, you should pay a visit someday, a fellow Filipino here. Just curious, what citizen are you now?

I’m sure I’m not the only one but I literally cried watching this video. Ammar’s story hit too close to home. I moved to the United States 10 years ago from a country in Central Asia called Uzbekistan, I was born and raised there and didn’t want to leave but my parents thought it would be for the best. Not realizing that we would run into the immigration issue, where as soon as I got my American citizenship I could no longer go back home. It’s been 10 years since I’ve seen my family and it pains me every day. Luckily now with the new president in Uzbekistan they eased the laws and it became more possible, the issue now is the plane ticket is extremely expensive for me or any of my family to afford. But despite the American passport making it impossible for me to see my family for 10 years, I’ve definitely been taking advantage of it. I became a part time traveler, I’m 26 years old and I travel solo to countries I’ve never been before. Learning about other cultures, languages, lifestyles etc. Just two months ago I came back from a trip to Finland where my literal dream came true, I saw the northern lights. Thank you, Yes Theory for not only making amazing content but also being so encouraging and touching our souls in the way that you do. We love you guys❤
Congrats on your American citizenship. If you may, can you elaborate why you can't return to Uzbekistan? Does Uzbekistan prohibits dual citizenship or do you need to do national service in Uzbekistan as well?
Hi? How did you obtained USA citizenship? Could you elaborate it?
@@matteoclementi family immigration, my dad is American. I was 15 years old so my parents made the decision for me. They thought it’d be best and I’d have more opportunity to grow here, just wish they did more research at the time and realized that since Uzbekistan doesn’t allow dual citizenship I wouldn’t be able to return home and see my family for 10 years because of it, and how much it would affect me later on
you can meet your family in another country like Turkey
So how is it that you can travel time part time to other countries but you can’t afford a ticket to Uzbekistan? I can’t imagine the price is that much higher than most other tickets?
Seeing Ammar's airport experience was so nice :') he was so happy and must have felt so good after having been treated with so much disrespect for so long.
I agree that it's really outraging to see people being stereotyped just because of their citizenship, especially for a guy like Amar. It doesn't make much sense
"I dont think this is a moment to give up. I think its a moment to regroup, and trying to look at what our options are" that gave me goosebumps
when you have a lot of friends and money this is easy. Come take a look at my fucking life and tell me how i am goint to travel the world as a debt slave living from month to month and even then not even making ends meet. Eveyone who can even take a holiday should not take it for granted, so many people can never go
The emotion that Ammar has always shown through this channel has sometimes been tough to watch. To see Ammar so joyous and excited made this video special.
Coming from Nigeria, raised in an underprivileged family. I got the opportunity to travel for the first time this year at 28 years old. Getting the visas were hell, scammed by travel agents. I live in kazakhstan now as an international student on a little funding. My greatest fear is still how i can get visas to travel to other countries during and after my studies. Its sad that some of us are born without freedom, but we hope to give our all in life to give our children the freedom we seek. I truly understand Amar, and the Yes theory team are great guys. I immediately went to St Witts and Nevis website but i saw the citizenship was by investment. I hope one day, the universe will smile on me too😊
never surrender bruh !
Applying visas is nothing, never ever goto agents. Always point out , which is the official website for that destination country and just follow the process, terms and conditions and eligibility and just apply. You can save a lot of money if you applying directly through official website of that respective country.
I'm sorry to tell you that and I don't want to discourage you but the EU and UK will probably cancel the visa-free access for those types of passports. In fact, any citizenship by investment will likely be excluded from the visa waiver privilege.
This will also give ideas to other countries so if I were you I wouldn't really rely on such passports.
What I'm saying already happened to Dominica and Vanuatu for example.
Also, Hungary used to have a such program and now the US doesn't allow a visa-free access for people having a Hungarian passport but who were not born in Hungary.
Also, the EU puts a huge pressure on any country that has visa-free privileges to the Schengen area and that offers a golden passport. They made everything to make Greece and Hungary abandon their programs and they succeeded.
So be really careful when you're about to invest money on such things as when it's cheap and fast to obtain a citizenship, it only means that the program will lose its credibility.
@@anilgayakwad66It's just that in many countries you have no choice. It's agents, or nothing.

Hi! I'm from South Africa and I've always dreamed of seeing the world. Last week, I went skydiving for my 21st birthday (repping Seek Discomfort obviously). I've been following you guys since 2018 when I was at a point in my life where I was afraid and unconfident in the world and myself. Watching you guys has taught me to say eff it, and ever since I've been doing more and more things that scare me. My parents were born and raised in Apartheid South Africa, the majority of the population was born during Apartheid, and in the country there is still a gaping whole where trust between people should be. I think that Africa has been overlooked by the world and by its own people because of the pain of the past and the deep lack of trust. My biggest dream is to travel around Africa and to learn from it and it's people no matter how much this terrifies me. This being said, I would love to go to Rwanda.
Wow! Really love how you’ve incorporated Stefan into the group. His vibe is off-the-chart positive!
Your videos inspired me to get a passport at 33 years old with a toddler. I have avoided discomfort while dreaming of faraway places and obsessively watching travel videos. Yours is the first that has truly lit a fire inside me. I studied French for many years and, afraid of studying abroad, quietly let it slip away. Your videos have shown the importance of connecting with others even with a language barrier. I started taking French lessons again and my dream is to visit Guadeloupe, very near Ammar’s new home country, to speak French with locals and immerse myself in their culture.
St. Kitts has a pretty neat flag! The green symbolizes the islands' fertile land (the Kalinago originally named St. Kitts, Liamuiga, meaning "fertile land"), the red symbolizes the bloodshed against slavery and colonialism, the yellow represents the nation's continuous sunshine, the two stars represent the islands and hope and liberty, and the black symbolizes the people's African origins. Besides Hamilton, something else the islands are famous for is being the home of the viral alcoholic vervet monkeys that the BBC once showed on Weird Nature. Vervet monkeys aren't native to the islands, they're originally from Africa and snuck on ships. They adapted there by eating sugarcane, but they just love to snatch people's drinks right on the beach!
Ok?
Thank you I appreciate people like you ❤
@@sofiadaddario2634don’t be rude.
The way you all interact with eachother and with strangers from all over the world is truly inspiring. It keeps reminding us we are here in this life journey altogether. Personally, I have never been out of Europe and it is my dream to go to Costa Rica. When I'm there I would love to help at an animal sanctuary, cherish nature, learn Spanish, meet new people and learn how to surf! Thank you for putting a smile on our face and reminding us how beautiful live can be when you choose love over fear.
Holy shit, the amount of effort you guys put into a single video is unimaginable. The fact that you can put several thousands of dollars into one small segment of a video just proves that you and your team actually care about what you are doing. Not even just that, but also the videography, the dedication to the camera shots and the film quality is astonishing, and then theres the fact that these heart-warming moments, like Ammar being able to finally travel where he wants and NOT get stopped by an immigration officer is just amazing to hear and great to watch. If I were to pick a place for my dream country to visit, it would probably be Japan, I'd love to go there because of the History, Culture, Cuisine and the general kindness of the public. Even just to learn about the country is astonishing, wither thats the geography - like the huge mountains in the snowy north, or the boiling volcanoes in the heated south, it is all stupidly interesting. Same with the history, like how the last 100 samurais defeated an entire Mongol army, and how emperors have been backstabbed over the many years. I find it amazing. But seriously, I personally think this video is seriously well made, and I am extremely happy for Ammar.
having dated an egyptian who was going through the same immigration process and getting passports I know just how bad everything Ammar is going through is just awful. Being able to see his face being free is absolutely amazing. I cried tears of joy for him. Im so happy for you! Thank you for sharing this.
why thats madness
As someone that is planning on moving to St. Kitts for Medical School this video helped me see how beautiful it is as well as how kind their people are. As a fellow Caribbean gal I hope this is a good experience. I will also add that this whole starting med school and moving has brought me a lot of discomfort, anxiety and doubts. I will take your messages of “seek discomfort” as a sign from the universe telling me to go ahead and not have fear, but to welcome the experience with love. Thank you. ❤
did you move
Best Caribbean country I’ve visited!!!!!
where you from trinidad ?
this is really heartwarming. thanks for sharing!
Weh bang leo😁
Eh bang Leo dong
I've been a supporter for 4 years now and seeing Ammar finally be able to travel with no stress was so heartwarming to see. From the first video I watched you guys have always preached to “seek discomfort”. As someone who struggles with anxiety who hates the idea of going outside their comfort zone, seeing you guys do what you love to do and spread the message of doing what makes you uncomfortable to experience those adventures, those unforgettable experiences that you wouldn’t have otherwise is truly inspiring so thank you ! I personally have always wanted to go to japan. Since I did a project on it in elementary school I fell in love with the culture and it has been a dream to visit since. Thank you guys for the endless videos that you put so much effort into from all of us !
This was so heart warming. I've never seen anything more genuine in my life. I've been crying tears of joy seeing this. You all have been a huge inspiration and influence on my life since I was ten. At my job I constantly yell my customers and coworkers to seek discomfort and live their best lives. I strive to bring your message to the world and live it. I am a barista making minimum wage and I don't get many travel opportunities. If I had a dream destination it would be Finland. I am slowly falling in love with a girl from Helsinky that I met while camping with my moms friends. I've sadly never had the opportunity to go and meet with her again. She told me that someday we have to see the northern lights and visit Lapland. Thank you for both helping me out of depression and keeping me seeking love and discomfort. Please it would mean more than the world to go to Finland! 🇫🇮
This inspired me - I’ve booked a holiday to St Kitts a a direct result of watching this story ❤🇰🇳
I can’t even afford to go on vacations as I’m an underpaid teacher and mom of 3. I don’t say this as a pity thing but as a THANK YOU for sharing all of your incredible adventures. Sharing the hard time and the insanely beautiful good times. It truly makes me strive to do better in my life and to one day be able to travel with my babies. You guys are changing peoples lives and I hope you never stop shining.
You have such a positive attitude. You will definitely be able to travel with your kids one day. For now, why not mention your favourite destination in your comment. Maybe, just maybe they pick you 😄
Most countries are cheaper than U.S., like Mexico you could save money?
@YogaBlissDance
You missed the 'underpaid with 3 children' part. Your suggestion is to save when she has bills and children to think of. Unbelievable!
changing lifes how ?
Good ❤ Mama
Guatemala. I was adopted as a little kid from Guatemala about 8 months old. I have always wanted to visit and explore and experience the culture that I have come from. If not me being able to visit maybe you guys will sometime soon! Ammars story is so moving and really makes me be grateful for the life I was given. So inspiring, love you guys!
My parents are Guatemalan and I've gone so many times. As a kid I didn't appreciate it but now that I'm older it's honestly such an amazing place to visit. I hope you're able to go someday!
I also wrote, another place, for them to pick me but I hope they pick you! Hope you get to see your roots! Knowing where we come from is such an important thing in life! Much love! Nat
My kids are Guatemalan. Their mom was adopted as well. She loved going back when I brought her. Go when you're ready. It is a truly beautiful country and culture.
Having been a subscriber for quite some time it's been amazing to follow Amar through this journey I'm so happy he's finally got a passport that can allow him to travel freely. I also wanted to say thank you to Yes Theory you guys got me out of a really tough time in my life and I'm now seeking discomfort, I've started traning for a half iron man at 16 and I'm going on loads of adventures with my friends. This summer I hope to go to Sri Lanka where my parents are from and experience that. From the bottom of my hart thanks again guys and keep seeking discomfort!
So true, Good luck mate
Best of luck with the Iron Man!
That guy who helped you on Nevis - some random stranger you flagged down - was amazing!
Everyone you met was an advert for the tourist board! ❤
Coming from a conservative family I have always been an INTROVERT guy! If you ask my parents, few years back when I used to go out with them I wouldn't even utter a word. After watching Yes Theory and seeing you guys getting rid of your fear of rejections it struck me and ever since then I have been trying to get rid of mine too! It has brought so much positive change in me that I can't even express. It literally brought out tears to my eyes seeing Amar this happy and the amount of positive vibe he carries within himself. As a person coming from India I would love to visit California to hangout with you guys in the Yes Theory house to help me kick my fear of rejection out of the park! Keep making beautiful videos.
It seems fate had a lot to play in Ammars story of investing in a St Kitts passport. The first immigration officer he meets on the beautiful island is so very friendly and welcoming and his name means generous in Arabic. Wow. You just couldnt make that up. Its fab to see you back and cant wait to see your next adventure xx
Glad genuine people like Amar finally had a welcoming experience that all his friend always gets, he deserves it.
And his smile is just... contagious.
I’ve watched RUclips for 5 years. And it wasn’t until last week that I discovered Yes Theory. My only regret is not finding you sooner! This content is brilliant, beautiful, meaningful, and truly, truly inspiring. My husband and I have cried so many tears over the last week as we have binged the videos. #seekdiscomfort
I’m genuinely so happy for Ammar, it’s crazy how often so many of us forget about this privilege we’re born with but don’t realise. Enjoy this man, you deserve it!
Literally crying for Ammar cause he's so kind and wholesome and now he can finally enjoy the world
I hardly ever comment but this one brought flood gate of tears and a mangle of emotions. Hearing the devastating news Ammar not able to visit his mom angered me but also knowing you have an angel covering you. Then pure unfiltered joy of arriving and experiencing St Kitts and Nevis took me to other spectrum of tears, the happy ones. Yes Theory thank you for living so real and so transparent and the ripples you continue to leave behind. I've been on this journey with your from the beginning and I am nearing my 50's {yes it is true} and to see you all grow (ing) to incredible humans makes my heart incredibly happy. There is hope. May your journey of Yes Theory never stop and may we never stop inspiring each other. Yoh this was a long a** one. Oh and Norway Senja to meet Steffen Fossbakk would be elite { a not so young girl can dream}
This is so heartwarming to watch, especially the person who helped you guys. My new motto in life is "Have no fear."
As someone who lives close to the equator, my dream destination is Svalbard! I'd love to experience cold weather.
As a 15-year-old Saudi Arabian girl, I have enormous hopes of meeting people, traveling, and experiencing the unimaginable. I struggle with moving out of my comfort zone due to my social anxiety, but watching your videos has truly helped me take baby steps toward overcoming my fear of being vulnerable and uncomfortable. I'd like to travel alone or with some friends without being able to always rely on my family to make me happy, thus I'd like to make myself happy by going to Barbados.
Born and raised in the most remote parts of Kenya, Africa, I struggled to meet my basic needs. Despite the fact that I enjoy travelling, I have never had the opportunity to travel outside of my country due to financial constraints. My dream destination is China; the country has many exciting adventures that I would like to experience. YesTheory has been my greatest motivation since discovering this channel. After watching your video with WIM HOLF, you inspired me to face my health problem, asthma, which I have had since I was a child.
I was gonna say where I wanted to go but seems like you need it more than me.
using my dream destination entry to hope this person to be selected. I hope you get to experience the world outside of Kenya soon! You would be welcomed by me in the USA!
You'll be in China, friend. Greetings from South East Asia.
as someone who has been able to travel, I as well use my entry on you brother. I have faith you’ll get selected and I hope you the best in China.
Good luck ✌️
Its so beautiful to see Ammar travel without the headaches of immigration. As a Nigerian, I Can relate to this as well. The freedom that this passport comes with is unfathomable. Its so cool to see ST kitts through the eyes of the Yes Theory team. Such a beautiful country with beautiful people.
As a 46 year old disabled veteran presently laid up by injuries, watching Yes Theory really drives home how much life I've lost, and how things really need to change inside of me to learn how to live again. As beautiful of a life that Thomas and Ammar are living, it still hurts to watch, knowing my life has been wasted, and I am no longer capable of such REAL experiences. Maybe in my next life.
Your life was not wasted my friend, wherever you are from I thank you for your service.
As long as you’re still alive there is hope my friend.
Jesus is will heal you my friend have faith nothing is impossible for god and with god❤ don’t loose hope Jesus have plans for you to prosper not to harm reach to him I’m sure he’ll heal you ❤love you ❤
You know you're watching @YesTheory when you realise you've been smiling solidly for the entire duration of the film. Keep strong Ammar. We're with you. X
I know for a fact I’m not the only one that tears up every time we see Ammar get so close to going home or have trouble at immigration. This was such a wholesome episode ❤ Without a doubt I’ll be a blubbering mess when he finally gets to go back to Egypt 💫💜
P.s dream flight, Africa. Zimbabwe area. I saw a documentary about it where they had a safari lodge along the Zambezi river where the elephants came to eat the mangos off their tree, I’ve been obsessed ever since. Big love guys x
As a viewer for an extended period of time, this was beyond heartwarming seeing the smile on Ammar’s face! My dream destination would be Amsterdam. Before my father passed, he promised that he would take me to see his “ most favorite place on Earth”. I really love what Yes Theory stands for and cannot wait to see what is coming up next! Keep Seeking Discomfort Everyone!
You are amazing guys!!! Ammar - congrats man! This is so inspiring. Me and my wife live in Canada, but originally from Ukraine, (Eastern part of Ukraine, where war started 9 years ago). We are trying to plan a trip to Europe (Italy or Germany), and trying to get our parents, my dad and my wife parents and brother to one of the countries near the boarder to see them first time in over 6 years. It maybe not our dream destination but is our dream to see our loved ones. It takes a lot of logistics and planning. Any input will be greatly appriciated. Thank you for what you are doing. Glory to Ukraine! Glory to Ukrainian Heroes!
As an egyptian citizen, i feel your struggle, Ammar.
i’m so glad that you’re choosing to be grateful and seeing that everything happens for a reason.
I hope one day you get reunited with your family in Egypt and even do a meet and greet where i can meet and get inspired by you:)
Much love to Yes theory.
As someone also born with an unprivileged passport and struggled my whole life with visas and immigration, I genuinely felt every single emotion in this video, especially Ammar's gratefulness and appreciation! Thank you guys for sharing this story!
My dream destination for now is the Netherlands, to able able to visit my partner. We've been separated for a while and it's only her that come visit me (rarely) instead since she don't need a visa.
Once again I'm crying tears of joy watching YesTheory..so happy for Ammar..the look of pure joy on his face .the weight off his shoulders..enjoy brother!!!
I love seeing the bond between the boys..how much love they have for each other and the support they give each other is so inspiring..this is how men should relate...big love to the team!
Congrats on your passport!! I really like your philosphy and enthusiasm. You set the bar high for going out of your comfort zone. I would like to see you do it for longer. You have a huge platform and you all have that x factor, please use it for damn worthy subjects like social issues, not just travel and fun. Keep having fun thou, it doesn't always have to be serious issues, even if you do a 3-5 min segment on a serious issue. You're artists, and art is about issues and advocacy.
"I don't think this is a moment to give up, it's a moment to regroup" Thomas you're too wise for your own good. Honestly that quote can apply to many different faucets of life's problems.
The first video I ever watched of Yes Theory was the trip to Tuvalu. Ever since I’ve fell in love with the concept of traveling to places that no one ever goes, exploring the area, and getting to know the people. Watching you guys inspired me to get a degree in english and embark on adventures, documenting my journey as I go. If I got the free trip I’d truly see no place more fit to go than where my inspiration began: Tuvalu. With somewhat clandestine twist of fate, a boy who grew up in a small town in Arkansas, and watched a RUclips video about a place no one’s ever heard of, would find himself there only a few years later. It would mean the world.
Same dude, first time I watched yes theory was trip to Tuvalu . honestly the best trip vlog I’ve ever seen up to date !
I was about to comment the same 😏😎
Same that was my first video also
Great video, guys! I wanted to share that I'm currently homeless in Sweden and I haven't been able to see my one-year-old child in five months. Watching your videos has helped make my days at the hostel a little easier. Even though I don't have a dream country to go to, I appreciate the positivity and inspiration you bring to my life. Keep up the good work and peace.
As an Egyptian , I was crying throughout the whole video as I will never be privileged to even be able to afford this passport and that everything is really hard and I have to work 100x harder to be able to even dream of traveling and the amount of unfairness and sadness I am feeling now is crazy 💔
May allah bless you ❤️
Why? You don't have to serve in the military
@@dstein3597 Money and passport
Don't feel bad many, many, many, people can't afford to travel, even with a better passport.❤
This is why I think this video is disgusting! He should have done his military service.
I have always wanted to go to Japan! I’m 38 years old and I’m about to get my bachelor’s degree after dropping out of college more than 15 years ago. Watching Japanese walking tour videos gives me comfort in times when I feel my lowest. I’m residing in the Philippines and travelling isn’t as easy compared to other citizens of other countries. Even if I’m not chosen, I’ll still work my way to get this dream fulfilled! So happy to see Ammar visit the country that has opened up and made his world reachable! Love you guys!
❤
The privilege of freely travelling around the world is so much underrated. Congrats to Ammar, and greetings to the rest of the Yes Theory. On a separate note, I would love to go to New Zealand!
This episode came to me "by accident" and hit my heart, as I seek my own second passport in another country. Thank you for sharing the journey.
This brought me to tears, I have watched your journey for many years and I am so happy you got to visit St. Kitts and Nevis. As a Jamaican living in Canada and not being able to see my family for 12 plus years, this cuts really deep. I'm not usually a very lucky person but I am trying to live outside my comfort zone more and more each day. Sooo here goes nothing, my dream destination is Jamaica, to go back home to see my mom, dad and brother and have them finally meet their granddaughter, my baby girl born in 2020. I pray you will be able to see your family soon Ammar without fear, it is heartbreaking to see your tears, be strong❤❤❤❤.
real
You really deserve to be picked, I'll be praying for you and your family and that you will be reunited soon :)
Praying that you will get to see them soon
Hey guys, I am pretty there are plenty of options and beautiful stories here. But I believe this one should be picked. I am already excited for them! And cheering up from Brazil…
It’s my dream that you get back to Jamaica. Much love to you- and God bless you
I'm so happy to see Ammar finally being free, and when he said that speech about not taking it for granted i cried. Your videos never fail to lift me up , and they always restore my faith in humanity. My dream destination is anywhere with you just one day.
My dad is going through some tough times in his life right now, he lost his job 2 years ago and has since become an alcoholic. He has always wanted to go New Zealand to see the world from a different perspective. I would love for you guys to talk to him and give him some words of encouragement. Keep up the great videos and thank you to the whole Seek Discomfort team for helping me realize there is more to this world then fear and anxiety! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
Coming from South Africa the options for visa free countries are few and far between. After recently acquiring a Portuguese passport through my grandparents who were born there I’ve longed to travel to Portugal and the island of Madeira to see the church they got married in. Hopefully I’ll get there someday. Thanks for always putting out inspiring content to the world 😊
Isn't it beautiful how Kareems name in Arabic means generous, love how things came full circle ❤ This is just so heart warming, welcome to the Caribbean! It's true that selling citizenship does get a negative light, yet I am glad that someone with a heart like Ammars got to reap the benefits of the passport ❤
The whole philosophy of the Yes Theory team resonates so strongly, in such a positive way. Love not only the places and challenges but they way you engage with locals and support each other. Living in Australia, my dream is to head as far north as possible. I would LOVE to visit Svalbard. To experience life where sunlight ranges from all day to zero would be just so far out of my experience, would be just so, so, incredible. Keep pumping out the adventures, they are inspiring.
❌Dont open this video or you will get cursed
⛔️ ruclips.net/video/ZhksIbRIWV0/видео.html
Give him the flight, Yes theory!
Good choice since no visa required 😊
Thanks for the support 😀With my wife and I being in our 60's, seeking discomfort helps keep us active and interested!
So happy that Staffan is now part of yes theory! He spreads so much joy and he is always the brightest light in the room! So happy that we are able to see him more often through this channel! Go Staffan! 💙🤗
Do you know from what video the clip 0:22 is from? ive been trying to find it in all of their channels but im struggling, Staffan is AWESOME! He so deserves it!
@@claudiaines5916 I think it will be featured in an upcoming video! At least they mentioned that before showing that clip 😁
@@jillvandeklundert3715 yeah that makes sense ahah thanks
makes a heart feels warm , thank you for what you did for him
If only there was a way for everyone we understand the pain THANK YOU
Seeing Ammar finally being able to travel, explore and just be there with the rest of the Yes Theory Crew is just.. oh man that really gets me in my heart.
My husband isn’t a US citizen and knows too well the immigration nightmare. So excited to see everything come full circle for you, Ammar! You’re an inspiration!
Hawaii, Fiji, or Maldives would make this exhausted 4th grade teacher’s ENTIRE LIFE. Regardless of whoever you choose, thank you for making such amazing videos that encourage everyone to choose joy, positivity, and acceptance of everyone. We need more people like Yes Theory in this world!
As a person who lived abroad for 7 years, I cannot even imagine what it would be like to not be able to go back home for so long. I am glad to see you smiling guys. Indeed, freedom is everything. And btw, my dream destination is Patagonia in Chile. I'll get there one day :)
The Patagonia is Beautiful :)
We took a South American cruise along the coast but never really made it to Patagonia. I bet it’s beautiful. Great choice!
It fills me with joy to see Ammar this happy. I remember the videos where i wished for him to participate, but he wouldn't be allowed to pass the border or couldn't come along because of the egyptian citizenship.
It always broke my heart to see Ammar, this kind, outgoing, and joyful man, to struggle so much, just because of such reasons.
I hope to one day meet the yes theory members in person, somewhere on our earth. Until then, i thank you on here.
Being from a country that is only allowed by 46 countries visa free i know what Ammar is feeling and can relate to his pain and i wish him the best with his new found passport my dream destination would be Japan and if i get selected would be god sent thank you all for all you do and keep preaching positivity.
I really hope you win this trip, I feel like you deserve it more than anyone else in this comment section. I hope u overcome your limitations of your passport and be able to travel around later in life
You deserve it. I hope you get lucky 🙂
@@jafhu Thanks you are really amazing....
@@EarthWalkerMan Thanks for the wishes you are really amazing
I just finished a Yes Theory marathon, and then they upload this right after. Yes theory is the best RUclipsrs on the platform, no question.
Welcome to the yes fam
Sidemen mate
This was a truly truly beautiful story and it was so amazing to see just how much even the smallest gesture's can mean in order to so dramatically improve someone's life day to day!
If I could go anywhere in the world, especially with you guys, it would be to Fiji. I have had the privalidge to work with many many Fijians over the past few years here in the UK, and I can say from the bottom of my heart that I have truly never met a kinder people. I would love to go and experience where they call home and to help spread the word and love of their land to the world.
Bula Vinaka 🤙🏽
So happy for you Ammar ♥️ I'm holding a Malaysian passport & after you share your story, I realize how privilege we are 🥺 Wish everyone who is kind can travel happily 🤍
As an Egyptian who has gone through similar experiences, I truly feel Ammar's pain. Good for you Ammar, congratulations!
As for my dream destination, I have always wanted to go to Tromso, Norway and see the northern lights!
Tromso is such an amazing place! I went there last month and unfortunately didn't see the lights but it's such a beautiful place.
Anywhere in the north of the Northern Hemisphere features the Northern Lights like here in Calgary Canada for example!
Went to Tromsø in October, but it was rainy and cloudy all the time
hey bro im the only son do you have to go fill out papers and stuff to get a military exemption or is it automatically done and if u need papers what do u need
Seeing Ammar go through that heartache and pain broke me and reminded me of my own struggle, wanting to reconnect with family in Puerto Rico. You can honestly see how homesick he is and how much he misses his family. I'm glad this video showed he has the rest of the yes crew that can rally together like a real family unit. I really hope he is able to go home and visit his family in Egypt soon.
Iceland has always struck me as a place out of a storybook, I’ve never been impacted like that. It’s so beautiful it almost feels unreal, and I know that I’ll find myself there one day, that’s more of a promise to myself than anything. Thank you guys for really helping people, myself included, to strive to go adventure and experience the world. Today it feels so much easier to just sit and watch things through a screen, but life is so much more beautiful than that, and already in the time I’ve been subscribed and watching your content, I’ve pushed myself to see more places. I even went to New York for the first time in my life for the Iceman Premiere, and it was an experience I’ll never forget! You all deserve everything you’ve achieved. I feel Yes Theory truly has made the world a better place. Love you guys and congratulations to Ammar!!!!!
Every episode the stories just keep getting better and better. New Zealand and Iceland seem like two countries with amazing vistas that I have always wanted to visit.
I was actually crying when I see the immigration guy join you , he’s the kindest have ever seen , have never in my my seen immigration person so open like this , God bless him ❤
It's so heart-warming yet so hurtful to see such happiness on something as simple as freedom. Everyone deserves the right to travel wherever and i'm glad you have finally got the chance to do what you've always wanted to do; travel the world. This channel has been a huge inspiration for me and many of my friends, from the dedicated attitude towards each and every piece of content, to the other-worldly scenes of the amazing places you visit.
But to answer your question towards the end, two places (because I couldn't decide between them) I have always dreamed of visiting is Iceland and the Philippines (very different I know) due to both their populations' general kindness, intriguing local cuisine and immaculate natural scenery that you don't see anywhere else from Iceland's Blue Lagoon and moss covered houses, to the Chocolate Hills and clear blue waters of the Philippines they are places that me and my friends could only dream of going...
I've been watching Yes Theory for years, and this inspired me last year to make a solo trip through Europe which was incredible, where I met so many new amazing and kind people, and that I would've never had the courage to do without you guys. So thank you so much for all you do, and my dream destination is the same as the editor's, lol, New Zealand, for me the most beautiful country on Earth, but also on the other side of it for me.
That is incredibly brave and courageous of you that is amazing!! I admire your effort to push out of your comfort zone! And OMG going to New Zealand sounds amazing!! Proud of you Micalius
I had heard a little about Yes Theory but only started watching your videos about a month ago. I have been traveling since 1996 and found myself becoming more and more addicted to pushing outside of my comfort zone and finding the kindness of strangers where ever we traveled to. Your channel really resonates with me. You do a much better job of communicating why my husband and I truly love those moments of discomfort and how travel has changed us. Thank you for putting this message out there. I feel seen.
I cried when I saw Ammar's relief on his face. That is what I wished for myself my whole life. As a Turkish citizen, I would like to visit the Greek islands I can see on the horizon without a visa. It takes insane amount of time and money just to get a Schengen visa for a week. Number of places I can visit without a visa is very limited.
You have a chance.
Turkey must RETURN Occupied North Cyprus and you will get a chance to enter in the European Union.
Schengen needs to be protected againts people from third world like Turkey is
I’ve been watching Yes Theory for 6 years and I’ve never lost the amount of inspiration and love you put out, even throughout your breaks.
It has always been a goal of mine to travel to every Spanish speaking country due to my Hispanic heritage and aspirations to work for the United Nations (5 months away from my degree!). I would love to visit Equatorial Guinea due to the stories of the people and their generosity that can’t be compared to anywhere else on this planet.
Much love Yes Theory, and Ammar, thanks for sharing your story and struggles, you have inspired not only me but everyone around me to overcome adversity, even if every door appears shut.
The country I've been dreaming of going to since 2014 is India. The reason is that I met an Indian guy on Facebook and we have been friends ever since. I am from little town of Lithuania, India seemed soo exotic to me! Over the years, we both grew together talking about our cultures, our backgrounds, starting families and growing professionally. I started to admire Indian culture so much thanks to Raj!For me personally, he is the person who has walked with me through the most difficult paths of my life, who has supported me emotionally, even though he was in another part of the world, I still felt I had him completely in my life. And that connection is still there. He will always be important to me, even though we don't talk every day, but he has a part of my heart. I know that one day, no matter what happens, we will meet so that we can look into each other's eyes, not through a screen. ☺️
Why don't you send him an invitation letter to visit Lithuania?
Ur so welcome to India.. and guess what u got a new friend from India... Feel free to contact me when u reach India 🇮🇳
im half lithuanian
You should meet him first in person. That's all I can say.
@@shreevardhanmundhra7461 Haha! Thank you for the comment! That's what I want! But we're not a long-distance couple! We're just friends, it's just that our connection hasn't faded after all these years, even though he's newly married and I'm building a life with a wonderful guy! 🤗 I just want to meet a person who has had such a big positive impact on my life. Finances and life events just didn't allow it.
I’m filled with joy for Ammar!! This was such a hearty felt experience for him. I can’t wait to see what’s to come. If I had to choose a place to travel to… my dream destination would be Egypt .♥️🇪🇬
I absolutely fell in love with this video. I teared up when you mentioned Ammar not being able to visit home. I have not seen my family in Brazil since I was 15 . I work 60-70 hours a week to pay bills and have been yearning to see them again for some time now. It has been over 6 years and I just miss it all so much
I live in London. Was Born and raised here and have never left this little city. Throughout the years I have had many places on my bucket list to travel too. Greece, Sweden, Svalbard... However, I have met this wonderful person through online gaming, we have been talking for almost a year now and I think it's finally time to leave my nest and travel to Germany to meet her. We've always talked about what we'd do when we first meet each other, all the places we would go, all the acitivities there are to do there. Watching Yes Theory videso all these years made me say yes to discomfort and agree to go visit her in the Summer. It is now currently my dream destination to go to Germany as it would be one of the first steps to me being more adventerous, more courageous and of course to meet this special girl.
london little city? london ontario maybe lmao
@@mydogisbailey Was only going for a little sarcasm haha
Your "nest city" London was my first step, like you said. I don't know if you love your city, but I've spent 3 summers in London and I changed completely.
My advice, if I can, is after this experience don't stop. Every summer take 2 weeks to travel the world, and bring your special girl (Traveling in 2 is the perfect number for every trip). Try to visit every year different places and maybe come back in other again. Don't be shy to speak the local language and do not care about making mistakes.
I hope I haven't been boring or annoying to you. Hope you gonna find yourself in Germany (beautiful country btw) and the right girl.
@@lorenzosala6148 That was some fantastic and insightful advice, thank you!
I´m from Colombia and with a huge effort I was able to visit and study English for a couple of months in Malta in 2019, where I met one my closest friends who is Taiwanese and we still keep in touch. Since meeting her, I´ve always dreamt of visiting her in her country so we can finally see each other after all these years. It´d be the experience of my life being able to see her again.
I took a graduation trip to St Kitts and then a few years later spent a week with my family on Nevis. Absolutely gorgeous islands, super friendly people, lots of fun things to go do.
This story was truly inspiring. I am a Kittitian and I am proud of how my fellow Kittitians embraced your warmth during your visit. Stay hopeful, Ammar will be reunited with his family.
My dream vacation is a Euro trip. I would really love to visit Paris.
yeah but would you be embraced by Egyptians
This episode made me so emotional, I'm an Egyptian and it's really hard to leave this country's boarders and because of that I've never been anywhere outside of Egypt.
a dream of mine was always to visit Italy for the arts just seeing the sculptors and architecture in pictures gives me goosebumps and to be honest I'm a sucker for Italian cuisine.
I just wanted to say I'm really happy for you Ammar your story is so inspiring and so motivating and I wish one day very soon you'll be able to come back and visit your family and eat a well deserved Molokheya and Mahshy Waraa Enab 😂❤
This is such an eyeopening experience to hear so many, even from the same country that aren't able to travel. I really hope you are able to travel to the places you want to see, experience the world for what it is, and bring your spark to the world. Thank you for sharing this RIA.
You WILL get to where you want to visit one day. Keep pushing forward even when you are pushed back. Never give up!
@@NinjaFrog-nr3bs thank you so much for your kind words you made me tear up ❤️
@@dmaxsba thank you so much dear I’ll always try until the very last breath I have ❤️
@@riasings Awww!!! Also what the heck I checked out one of your covers. Your voice is so strong yet softly focused.
Have you ever been able to consider travelling? I know some about what Ammar has described about his experience, is yours similar?
Ammar deserves everything this world can offer. He has an amazing soul. You’ve got this Ammar ! ❤
My dream destination would be Australia. I have wanted to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef since I was a little kid, and it’s what inspired me to become a marine biologist! Especially now that all the corals are dying I feel like I should go sooner rather than later but it’s so far and therefore expensive.
Also, loved this video. I am so happy for Amar to finally have an easy customs experience. It’s easy to take that for granted as an American citizen and it’s a good reminder to be grateful!
Since becoming apart of the yes fam 4 years ago, I always love watching your videos that perfectly encapsulate the connections we all have and the vast world to explore. Each second of the video makes me feel like I am vicariously living and experiencing the world through you, which has inspired me to step outside my comfort zone and go on my own adventures, with friends and even by myself. A dream of mine has always been Cambodia for it's rich cultural and spectacular landscape. Thank you for all the opportunities you give everyone and inspiring us all to make the most of our lives!
Great to see you guys and specially you Ammar enjoying that freedom ❤️
Personally I would love to hangout out with you guys in person anyhwere in the world !
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ what’s wrong with you
@@CyprusHartford that guy a Jesus bot or some shit lmao
@@CyprusHartford nothing just wants to ruin a beautiful moment.
ok
Where was your grandma born, & does she still live there?
I hope she gets to see Alaska!! 🙏
Seeing Ammar this happy made me so emotional. After all he's been through he deserves to finally travel stress free and without going through the tedious process of applying for a visa. I love that the boys came along and shared this experience with you ❤️.
The place that I'd love to go to is Australia, I feel naturally drawn to the diverse landscapes, culture, nature and its people
Thank You beautiful souls for bringing me much needed joy in my life. Thank you for filling my heart to overflowing. Thank you for sharing Ammars personal story that moved me to tears. Thank you for making Stephan a permanent team member, he always makes my face have big smiles. Thank you trip coordinaters, behind the scenes team, videographers and film production editors for making me feel like I've just taken each journey with you each time. I especially love seeing the deep gratitude you all have for your bonds of frienship and making life a miracle to experience together. #welldone
I would love to solicit strangers anywhere in the world with all of you.
My bucket list:
Ireland
Germany
Paris, France
Stephan's hometown
❤
As I looked through this comment section I saw that yes theory members never stop, every person who stated there dreams or locations was always met with someone in the comments offering assistance or a place to stay❤️ we love you yes theory because you inspire normal people to take a chance!❤️ please never lose that because you inspire millions ❤️
Dream destination is New Zealand. I would love to spend a week, take my camera, and show the world through my eyes. You could send me anywhere, and with my camera I'd show what I thought was beautiful.
I love your work and all the choices you make. I wish I had the drive to do some of these things, I always find something holding me back, I want to travel, I want to see the world. I need to start fighting for it. Thank you again for all your videos, and all the inspiration.
This hits home for me so much. I'm (was) Indonesian. I attained a German passport after moving here after high school and been living here for a decade.
This year, I came to Indonesia recently as a tourist and it was such a weird feeling.
Seeing your vid, it reminded me again that home can be anywhere in the world that welcomes you with open arms. I'm so happy that St. Kitts & Nevis gave you the sunshine you deserve, Ammar!
PS: The USA, California especially would be my dream trip. :)
@anthonysubandi4057 - My home is in Southern California and you are welcomed in my beautiful state!
You have probably heard that the german government plans to allow dual citizenship. I hope there is the possibility for you to get your Indonesian citizenship back (although i don't know if Indonesia allows dual citizenship).
@@dietapferetrantute7679 Indonesia doesnt allow dual citizenship. I am myself hold Indonesian passport. So traveling to other countries, sometimes nothing but a headache for me (all the paperwork, interviews etc 😢). So I also know the struggle
yeah thats because carribbean people are welcoming but the same isnt afforded them in return
This is such a heartwarming story. I'm glad he was able to get to visit the beautiful country that gave him his freedom. For me my dream destination would be Zambia to see where my grandparents used to live and to visit family there who I have never met!
This video motivated me to search for a Yes Theory community in Romania and guess what? I found one on Facebook. Looking forward to Seek Disconfort together 🎉
How does every video yestheory makes becomes so damn wholesome, love it
