    The reason why that the other travelling to Iraq videos are viral on youtube and they got a hundreds of thousands views its because they did wrote the title in Arabic, maybe u should do that too, it was fun to watch and sorry for your bad condition room u stayed at. U should v got better if u had more friends in iraq.good luck with your travelling adventures 😊

    I love that you made a comment about being an introvert, I do the same thing while traveling, just got and hide from people after a long day 😅Thank you for posting these videos! It’s awesome to see so many places in Iraq and how excited locals are to see a foreigners and how welcoming everyone is.

    I am an expat since we(family) went to Dar es Salaam when I was 5. I was born in England. I was in MN sailing the world for 20yrs. Came ashore and worked for 10yrs in ME. Retired to Thailand 23 yrs ago. So for about 72 yrs have off and on I have been an expat, my passport is British, I think I have same problem as you. I tell people where I was born, but tell them I don’t really belong anywhere, the longest is Thailand.

    It was expensive because you went to Basra during the Gulf cup. GCC countries are mad about football. Couch surfing with male friends is very, no offence, taboo. I know you're a respectable and honorable woman, but in some Arab countries you need to couch surf with female friends. GCC countries are mutant countries. Very weird countries; sometimes disgusting, Iraq is far better.
