    💡 *What an incredible trip this was and what a country Libya is,* full of challenges but from what I saw and the incredible local people I met, also full of hope and there was endless kindness towards me and each other. A huge thank you to everyone in Libya that made my stay that much better (you know who you are). As mentioned in the video, this will be my last video in a short while as I will be taking time to reflect on the incredible year of travel that I have been fortunate enough to lead so far, especially during this complex time that we all face. I truly hope you are all doing well and life is treating you well (relatively speaking in the current times). Thank you x100 for your consant support of my videos, it still blows me away and humbles me every single day. I will be back with more videos from fascinating countries before you know it! In the meantime, look after yourselves and those around you. Much love, Nick 💚🌎

      @Nickle - I also lived in Libya as a child - before Gaddafi - as my father was in the RAF supporting the US forces there, at Wheelas Air Base. The RAF contingent was called 'RAF Idris' after the King.
      We also visited Leptis Magna and Sabratah, which may have sparked my interest in ancient history.
      We may have avoided the toilets though!

      I've not really been to the east, and that would be cool.
      On the tourism front, they need to go the backpacking route first. Allow the lotus-eaters to vegetate on the beaches. That would open up to a Tangiers to Alexandria trip. Then it would all develop from that.
      The ruins etc. I just thought as a child that was normal. There was even a wadi along the coast that had dinosaur footprints and eggs in nests.

    My uncle works in the police force in Libya and I showed him your Libya series. The reason why the police is following you and watching your every move non stop is because (he assumes) you are a New Zealand citizen with New Zealand or European citizenship, and with Libya not being the safest country, a post-Civil War atmosphere with many militias, if god forbid you were to get attacked, kidnapped or even killed, that would cause diplomatic tensions and diplomatic problems between Libya and whatever country’s citizenship you hold. 🙃

    It's so easy today for young people to travel around the world. It wasn't like this when I was young, but I was also very adventures. So when I got married in 1961 my husband was offered a job with the American Air Force in Turkey. We moved to Adana and my husband worked at Incirlik Air Base. From there we made many trips around Turkey, Syria and Lebanon. Once we flew home to our country Germany to buy a car and drive it to Adana. That trip was an adventure in itself, because we had to drive through many backwards countries, like Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Turkey. In Turkey at that time you could not even buy a car.
    After Turkey my husband was offered a job at Wheelus Air Base Tripoli. We moved there in 1966 and I also could work on Base, which I couldn't do in Turkey, because the Turkish government denied the spouses a work permit. We had a wonderful time in Libya. Tripoli was so beautiful and the people there so friendly. We wanted to stay forever, but things changed, as everybody know the American Air Base was closed in 1970 and the Libyan Air Force took over. We stayed until 1972, because the Libyans asked my husband if he would train their personnel.
    We returned to our home country with two small sons, who were born during our time in Tripoli. After 5 years in Germany we wanted to see more of the world, so my husband found employment with a German company in Lagos Nigeria. This country was a completely new experience. From there we were able to make many trips to USA and Canada. In 1987 we moved to Australia. were we still live. We were able to travel due to seeking work in foreign countries. Now I am 80 year old and reminisce about all these places I've been, but my heart belongs to Tripoli.

      Dear Madam, I respect you, but the main reason for destroying my beautiful country, Libya, killing the good and beautiful Libyan people, and forcibly displacing the Libyan people to Egypt, Tunisia and other countries, is the intervention of NATO, Europe, America, Qatar and Turkey in the internal Libyan affairs. They justified their barbaric intervention with pretexts, false and fabricated arguments and forged papers, as they did with Iraq when they said that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction, and after that this was not proven with conclusive evidence to this day. Qatar and Turkey played a major role in supporting the terrorist organization Al-Qaeda and The criminal case has been in Libya since 2011, and Qatar and Turkey have exploited Security Council resolutions to send and plant criminals and terrorists who collected them from all countries of the world and purposely placed them in Libya so that they can destroy it more than it is now.

We, the Libyans, have for many years wished that there would be good relations with the United States of America in all medical, industrial and economic fields, and that our relationship with the American people themselves would be very good. We have never hated the American people and we still love And we respect the American people, but we hate those who are in power, in the White House, and in the American intelligence only, without others in the United States of America, because they succeeded in a very big way in keeping the Libyan and American people away from each other, as the previous regime in Libya did during the days of Colonel Muammar’s rule. Gaddafi, may God have mercy on him, and they were not given any opportunity for a democratic dialogue between the Libyan and American people. Thank you very much once again.

      I agreee. Till now media (msm), politicians, also ngos seems to prefer Libya on the bad level. What is totally not true and real. My heart is in Libya. In the last 10 years I get to know the Libyans. Living, being inside the country and I was never never in danger and felt never unsafe. Yes you have to be aware as Libyan history as still assumptions are there.
      Outside world is not helping by not naming the responsible people what commited (war) crimes. Only the smaller ones are named (sometimes). This is not helping the country. This is politic for own benefit.
      Related to migrants. Around a million (or more) migrants are living and working all over Libya. A real small percent is in Libya for a travel to Europe (or else). At my Twitter account Yvonne Snitjer you can find material, videos as earlier this week, you see the centre of Tripoli full with migrants (when else in the city a huge other group is playing football. They do this every free moment)

      Thank you and my respect to you. You will find many Roman, Greek, Phoenician and Germanic monuments, and even traces of the ancient man in Libya. You will also find very beautiful beaches with white sand and shiny waters in the ancient city of Sabratha, and a large 4-star tourist resort called Dar Tellil. A Libyan investment in cooperation with a Tunisian tourism company. It is located in the Tallil area of ​​the city of Sabratha, 8 km west of the ancient city of Sabratha, where the most beautiful beach in western Libya is located with a view of the pine forest behind it and the smell of pine trees mixed with the smell of beautiful sea breezes, I hope it will return Peace and security once again to my country, Libya, as it was before 2011, and tourists also return after the security and political situation stabilizes more and more, and a new president is elected next September. We are tired of the civil war and many Libyans are emigrated to Egypt and Tunisia and other countries because of the brutality and barbarism of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group and the armed militias backed by Qatar, Turkey and Britain are the ones who made Libya lag far behind in establishing peace, security, prosperity and economic development that was planned less in 2011.
