Discovered your channel the other week while I was working. I think my first video was of you in Vietnam. I absolutely love your channel, it honestly gave me a lot of new perspectives on how the world is like and that the people in some of these “hostile nations” aren’t hostile at all- it’s just the leaders. I can’t wait to see where your next adventure leads, though personally, I suggest not going to South America solely because the columbian jungles are not to be f*cked with
I'm a firm believer that there are good and bad in any place you travel. Fortunately, most are good people.

Digital nomads do a ton to help shape a realistic picture of life in other countries. With millions watching these vids every year, pretty soon nothing any govt says about another people will be taken seriously. Just look at all the vids from Palestine, which absolutely helps bring attention. After watching these kind of vids, I'm moving to Kusadasi Turkiye in a few months. Had I not watched these kind of vids, I'd never have been introduced to the beauty of that country 🇹🇷

This is what i miss about travel, especially across all corners of the Asian continent from the Middle East to the far East. The people are golden. Absolutely golden. And nobody does hospitality like the Middle East. Agressive as hell - you fear for your safety if you refuse food or drink in the best way 😂. It's such a nice reminder of the goodness of people in the world when all we see in headlines are the negatives. Hooray humans!

that's exactly what they did , it's the sha'ada it's bascially admiting "there is not god but allah" which in islam is considered to accept the religon as the true religon , therefore he's considered a muslim and he's not premetied to leave the religon, criticize it , or doing anything that oppose to it such as eating pork, drinking alchol , having sexual realationship before marraige , etc or in other world if he does than he could be sent to jail or executed in some places .

yes, it was the shahada, or profession of faith, meaning "I believe that there is no other god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet". When you say it with true intent and belief, you are a muslim.

according to islam if you say it than you are a muslim ( from what I know you need to say it 5 times , but in the video he only said it once) and they take it very seriously , so if you say you change your mind or want to leave islam it can result in a death sentence or an angry mob lynching you . so it's a very important to know this , he's lucky he can return to the us where this is extremly unlikely that those thing happen , but they can still happen if an extrimist is hearing about it . either way it's a form of forced conversion only it is done here by social pressure rather than violence but the distance between the two is a very fine line.
