As an American/Assyrian/Armenian, I enjoyed seeing a positive angle of my native lands which i've never been to. Thanks for your kindness and patience while meeting others. You're a good man. Assyrian history over there seems to be forgotten by the locals. Iraqi Assyrians are Christian. I would have loved to see our Orthodox church in Northern Iraq. Thanks for all your hard work!
We love Mexico and us Iraqis associate with Latin America and Mexico the most in the world, most probably because of the association of the times endured and relationships we’ve been through throughout the duration of the last 50-60 odd years.

Iraq is really a nice place just like America has its sins and cons like it's way too cheap and pretty cultural I could say that since I am iraqi and I live in iraq
The US media should never be trusted when they talk about what it’s like in other country’s they get paid by the war machine to paint a bad picture of places America wants to rob of its resources
Growing up in Iran, I learned Kurdish, Turkish, and Farsi in a family with Turkish and Kurdish aunts and uncles. I have always loved the language, the people, the food and the culture. We dance to Kurdish music in every wedding and loved the Kurdish weddings. Some of my closest friends were Kurdish. Watching this video, the vibe is so similar to my hometown in Iran. Would love to pay a visit to Kurdistan in my next trip to Iran.

@@le57693 you, guys, should get your heads off the sand! Enough of sectarianism and division. Politicians have been fuelling hate and sectarianism on purpose to divide you up, rule over you, and keep you enslaved. The sooner you understand this, the better! The problem is not who is who.
The globalist media wants you to believe that most nations outside of the west are incapable of peace. Because their paymasters the world banks want to reserve the right to invade at any point if there's something they want there.
That's because the western media has a disturbing obsession with destruction and violence. If there is a scene of devastation whether in America or in the ME, they'll usually be right there with cameras to capture their "shocking" news reports and footage, talking about how horrible it is and the "unbelievable tragedy and heartbreak". People rebuilding their lives and achieving prosperity is apparently boring to journalists.

@@joehoang4826 I was in the US Army and I got deployed over there during the war Operation Iraqi Freedom War back in 2003. I was in the initial push. While I was there my unit let me spend 3 days in Erbil for some R&R. My battle buddy and I had an armed Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers securing us around town anytime that we left the hotel. It was an experience that I will always remember.
Buckeyeboi Oh wow, this stuff is always crazy to hear. I can only imagine what memories you must have. Were you also stationed later on in Iraq? How do Iraqis compare to the Kurds? I had no idea that the Kurdish area was this safe. I was under the impression that it had been left to rot in a way and that troops had long pulled out.
@@joehoang4826 no I was never stationed there later on. Technically Kurds are Iraqis but they have their own culture, traditions, and way of life. However they live in the Northern part of Iraq which they call Kurdistan. Unfortunately the UN won't recognize them as their own separate country though. I think the Iraqi people as a whole are beautiful people, they were just oppressed by dictatorships for a very long time.

I can remember when I used to vacation in Iraq. It was so very beautiful and peaceful back then. It was one of the favorite vacation places in the world. Thank you for showing us the parts of Iraq that the mainstream media doesn't. It's a beautiful spot that you are in. Enjoy yourself in Iraq.
bohemoth1 hello! Sorry for my curiosity but as an iraqi myself i just wanted to know in what period u used to visit and where r u from?? Have a good day!
So beautiful and peaceful back then? When? They were in almost a 10 year war with Iran. Then subjected to harsh sanctions. Then another war that turned it into a complete disaster.
As a half English half Kurd, thank you so much for uploading this. I can confirm that Iraqi Kurdistan is VERY safe to visit. I think it's important to clarify the "bad shit" that Lucas was referring too: In terms of terrorist attacks - there are none. I believe what Lucas was referring to is the fact that the government are becoming increasingly more oppressive. You can't speak badly about the government in public because, as Lucas said, bad shit happens. The Kurdish people are THE most hospitable, and quite literally the nicest people on the planet, and i encourage you all to try and visit if you can. :)
I met some very kind Kurds in Turkey who welcomed us into their home :) I will never forget it! I've met other cultures who are equally as kind, too. ;)
Mathias Kildedal What do you apologize for?It's Iraq and this is northern Iraq There is no such thing as Kurdistan on the map of the world Kurdistan is the province of northern Iraq The Kurds, who are originally Iranians, are trying to declare independence from Iraq by stealing land they do not have. And iraq safe from 2017 . The war enden from 2017😒❤ 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I think the Kurdistan region is much different than the rest of the country. It’s safer and generally more hospitable because not being affected by the American invasion and the Shia-Sunni rift after the invasion.

@Yaser Arzoqi I'm American and I hate America for what we've done to Iraq and so many other countries. I hope you understand not every American "supports US troops" I say FUCK US TROOPS, born and raised American and FUCK THE US ARMY, THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THE SAME DONE TO THEM. America deserves to have China going street by street and rounding up 'combat age males'. I hope you can make the best of what your country has after American troops FUCKED IT.

I had no idea that the Kurdish area was this safe. I was under the impression that it had been left to rot in a way and that troops had long pulled out.
Buckeyeboi we love you 2 🌞
@@joehoang4826 no I was never stationed there later on. Technically Kurds are Iraqis but they have their own culture, traditions, and way of life. However they live in the Northern part of Iraq which they call Kurdistan. Unfortunately the UN won't recognize them as their own separate country though. I think the Iraqi people as a whole are beautiful people, they were just oppressed by dictatorships for a very long time.

😂😂😂
u dont know any thing about our culture thats how u talking shit

Relax man. It was a joke, my comment has nothing to do with your culture. Do your people not understand what humor is? This in no way offensive to anybody, why are people on RUclips always so pissed off. Have a coffee and chill tf out man. Its easy to be rude on RUclips, if u ever met me in real life, you wouldn't have the guts to say it to my face. Take your moods elsewhere, we happy people here.

@@Loran_mziri lol cool man, that was kinda unnecessary of me. Nothing but love, peace to your side of the world....
Thank you for showing the world my home country! Born in Iraq, grew up in New Zealand (Kiwi citizen) and living in Australia now. Much love Nick ❤️❤️
So you are an Iraqi Kiwi Australian. Are you Arab or Kurdish or Kiwi?
Heis in Kurdistan not Iraq
I am Assyrian, Christian minority from Iraq. New Zealand citizen but live in Australia lol.
beautiful place. greetings Kurdish friends from the US
very interesting, love from IRAN.
So surprised. I thought it was conflicts and poverty, instead I highly doubt I can even afford to live in such a wealthy place lol Looks beautiful and the people seem so nice. Great to see I was completely wrong. Love from Norway
REASON℠ this is the safest place in iraq!!! Like no conflicts no racism nothing , it has modern cities and stuff.
I live in Kurdistan now. Trust me real estate in Erbil is more expensive than most states in USA 😂😂😂
And most importantly no Isis
It's because this is Kurdistan, That's why it's important for us as the United States of America to back the Kurdish people against all its enemies. As they have been loyal to us.
REASON℠
Tusen takk bror!
Norge er også et flott land og herlig folk.
Jeg bodde i Norge mange år, mine beste år faktisk
🇳🇴❤️
Hey there! I am really got shocked after your vlogs and I am absolutely sure you have changed the mindset of a lot of people about Iraq
To be honest Literally, I am shocked a little bit as a person from Turkey. I was not expecting that such a beautiful area.
Thank you dear.
This is free Kurdistan 🙌 👏 ✨️

I can remember when I used to vacation in Iraq. It was so very beautiful and peaceful back then. It was one of the favorite vacation places in the world.
Thank you for showing us the parts of Iraq that the mainstream media doesn't. It's a beautiful spot that you are in. Enjoy yourself in Iraq.
bohemoth1 hello! Sorry for my curiosity but as an iraqi myself i just wanted to know in what period u used to visit and where r u from??
Have a good day!
So beautiful and peaceful back then? When? They were in almost a 10 year war with Iran. Then subjected to harsh sanctions. Then another war that turned it into a complete disaster.
That’s a beautiful church. Kurdistan looks like a beautiful country too. Peace from America.
You must know kursdistan is a part of IRAQ
All Iraq was gteat before USA brought Saddam to power . Go check the history how Iraq was in 1960s and 70s
k c Love you from Kurdistan 👉🌹❤️🌹👈
Thunder Emblem There is no country nammed Kurdistan, Kurdistan is IN Iraq
Thunder Emblem i agree
Hello I'm 52 yrs old nanny, never left the UK 🇬🇧 😄 thank you, love watching you travelling all over. Much love to everyone ❤ Xxxx
As a half English half Kurd, thank you so much for uploading this. I can confirm that Iraqi Kurdistan is VERY safe to visit. I think it's important to clarify the "bad shit" that Lucas was referring too:
In terms of terrorist attacks - there are none. I believe what Lucas was referring to is the fact that the government are becoming increasingly more oppressive. You can't speak badly about the government in public because, as Lucas said, bad shit happens.
The Kurdish people are THE most hospitable, and quite literally the nicest people on the planet, and i encourage you all to try and visit if you can. :)
I met some very kind Kurds in Turkey who welcomed us into their home :) I will never forget it! I've met other cultures who are equally as kind, too. ;)
And the most racist, very kind but really racist.
Love and Respect to the Great Iraq

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤💕
Amazing video. Thank you So Much. I wouldn’t have thought Iraq/Kurdistan could be so beautiful.
Been watching your vlogs for a while, love them and keep going.
love from Sulaymaniyah
Thanks Parwar!
@@IndigoTraveller you should come to sulaymaniyah too. Or go to Hawraman
Im amazed on how different the picture of Iraq is when it is seen through the eyes of the media.... What an amazing country!
its kurditan not fucking iraq!
This is Kurdistan not Iraq dud completely different region ruld by Kurdistan government we have our own border with Iraq
@@eyeon1 Im sorry i thought this was Iraq since his title is "Walking streets of Iraq.
Mathias Kildedal
What do you apologize for?It's Iraq and this is northern Iraq
There is no such thing as Kurdistan on the map of the world
Kurdistan is the province of northern Iraq
The Kurds, who are originally Iranians, are trying to declare independence from Iraq by stealing land they do not have.
And iraq safe from 2017 .
The war enden from 2017😒❤

I think the Kurdistan region is much different than the rest of the country. It’s safer and generally more hospitable because not being affected by the American invasion and the Shia-Sunni rift after the invasion.
Kim Jong Trump it’s prosperous because of American liberation and security. That’s why they’re so grateful to Americans.
All the bombs you've dropped on us, obviously you wont be welcomed. 😂
hospitable
J X thank you
yes bit, people in south iraq are more hospitable
Spending all Afternoon with Your films. So good. Wish I would been there. But You give Us a sight!
Not that often showed/noticed. Love It!
Keep up the good work
My parents are from Iraq and my mom was telling me back in the 70's and 80's. 1 Iraqi Dinar was worth $3.75! Crazy, how much has changed!
The UK used to borrow money and take knowledge / studies from Iraq back then it was the Dubai of the middle east... times have changed unfortunately
@Yaser Arzoqi I'm American and I hate America for what we've done to Iraq and so many other countries. I hope you understand not every American "supports US troops" I say FUCK US TROOPS, born and raised American and FUCK THE US ARMY, THEY DESERVE TO HAVE THE SAME DONE TO THEM. America deserves to have China going street by street and rounding up 'combat age males'. I hope you can make the best of what your country has after American troops FUCKED IT.
@sean grant yeah but the thing is majority of these men are signing up by them selves they not been forced into it. Admittedly a lot of them get tricked and told lies by the government it's a touchy subject I guess
NICK - YOU ARE BECOMING MY FAVORITE YOU TUBE CHANNEL/HOST!! I LIVED & WORKED IN THE MIDDLE EAST, LOVED IT!! FANTASTIC PEOPLE/CULTURES/HISTORY!! - BY THE WAY THERE IS A LOT MORE WONDERFUL FOOD TO EAT BESIDES FALAFEL - KEEP THE GREAT VIDEOS COMING!!
Very cool to see your travels. What a great life you experience 🇨🇦
Beautiful country and people. Love Iraq, love the Kurds and love the great people!
I've traveled all over the world, but avoided visiting the Middle East thinking, as an American, I would be a fool to do so. This looks like a spectacular place to visit. Great food, people, scenery. Thanks for changing percptions!
Iraqi Kurdistan, lol, probably one of the safest places in the Middle-East (so not really crazy)
Go Kurds, secure your own freedom and security
Tsablis Thoj Hahahah you funny dude! This is going to be in your dream, this is our country which is Arab

I like how you showed all sights of the region poor to fancy ... well done 👍
Your channel should be on television. Your content is so raw and amazing thank you for sharing your travels with all of us!
Traveling to Iraq is not only for tourism but for dining experience. Change the falafel, such as the covered state, the beja, the peas, eggs and many other foods. The advice of everyone who loves to visit Iraq is the first thing to try Iraqi food.
Greetings, Hussein, from Iraq🇮🇶
Wow this is very nice and beautiful. It seems well developed more than could have people imagined. Thanks for the besutiful video. Keep it up and stay safe because we want to see more.
