First Class Sleeper Train in Iraq 🇮🇶

[@Delicate-Sound-of-Thunder]

Who needs TV when there are KZbin channels like this... Awesome stuff!

[@BackpackerBen]

You know it

[@thomassmithUTUBE]

I would Agree!! ❤

[@ABloodyEyeFull]

​@@BackpackerBenYou and Kat should do a trip to Brighton sometime, it's a great, lively, friendly place in the UK. Not without it's problems, but in my opinion, the best place to visit or live in the UK. Anyhow keep up the brilliant vlogs!

Isn't Mr. Bald in Brighton?@@ABloodyEyeFull

Ben, I am a blind individual. Just want to say that love your videos, usually I cannot wait for your next one very adventurous you explain to us people that can’t see what you’re seeing and I love it. Thank you very much for all these adventurous videos that you’re putting out great content again, love your videos brother.

[@BackpackerBen]

Appreciate that mate! More to come ;)

[@JannyBesmircher]

You mean you love his audiobooks

[@FannyShmellar]

Takes some balls to do these trips for any man, hats off to you both. I have mates who served in Basra not all that long ago, so it puts it into perspective where you are.

[@williehannon9306]

Love your work Ben. Together you and Kat are a great team. She is beautiful and patient. T he chemistry is genuine and so watchable. Thank you both. Huge respect

[@BackpackerBen]

Thanks pal 👌🏼

[@dannyyarborough3014]

Kat is soooo funny!!! And has such a great energy she is hilarious!!! Love your travel vlog Kat is like coffee with cream and peas and carrots she's got to be a part of it she really brings the vibe!!! Your solo ones are great too but she's too funny!!

[@Maryhilton-ws6ol]

I think so too such a smiley face shes a star

[@cybermavenmusic]

I'd travel with you guys any day. You both have such a genuine vibe. I love it.

[@jackhui2812]

NEVER thought I'd see a KZbinr in BASRA. Awesome Ben and Kat! Kat sounds a little under the weather... Feel better Kat! Everyone here where I am is sick it seems.. Be safe, stay well!

[@BackpackerBen]

Cheers Jack 🫡

[@Happy_Snapper]

Katarina should have her own channel. ❤❤❤

[@craigcochrane1837]

Have to say Cat is a gem. She's great, she just cracks on with it. She doesn't moan about anything, great travel companion. Are you a couple.??

[@davidhall2327]

Never complains on camera.

[@Lionking1190]

@@davidhall2327I get the vibe she is real on camera. Probs complains as much as everyone in the moment but still cracks on with life anyway

[@markmcginley559]

Yea they're a couple. She seems like a really genuine girl. So easy to see they have a connection

[@William2Firearms]

Cat smokes crack?

[@William2Firearms]

[@Rianewjob01]

Fascinating video. You show a different Iraq from the one we know of from the war earlier this century. You’re an adventurous couple. Hilarious that the universal response to Kat saying she’s from Portugal is ‘Christiano’.

Great film folks, I’d say you’re brave to step out to somewhere many brits wouldn’t consider but it looks very friendly and the grub looks fab! Anyway, now subscribed, glad you appeared on my KZbin.

Glad you enjoyed it John!

[@KardosoMedia]

Hats off to Cat for making this trek! She’s a keeper

[@giraffesinc.2193]

I am so enjoying your journeys with the lovely, cheerful Katarina! Thank God you arrived safely and met so many friendly people along the way. Thank you again for your videos, Ben! Also, hope you get a Patreon one of these days!

[@ideogramma-sac]

Great job, as aways, mate. You have such a generous view about people and places you go. So do Kat. Please tell her this if you can: Kat, você é incrível, uma pessoa tão doce e tão determinada e corajosa ao mesmo tempo. Toda admiração e carinho aqui do Brasil!

[@AñdyOmar]

This video is awesome. Great presentation as well. Been to several different places in Iraq, but anything Southern Iraq was very welcoming. I am glad there is an informative KZbin channel like this. Keep them coming Ben. 🎉

Another banger! Really enjoying the Iraq vids! What are Cat's socials?

[@debbieanne7962]

I'd travel on the sleeper train. Used plenty of those toilets travelling through Asia. Squatting is actually a better way to toilet as is squatting when giving birth. I remember Kurdistan being beautiful from your last visit. Iraq home to the first civilization on the banks of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers

[@iankendrick5282]

Loved it brill

[@bren70ssss94]

The people are so friendly arent they , Kat is so cool never whinging and complaining

Best part about ur vids is cat wat a lovely girl she is, an angel, hope u treat her well as she's ur biggest asset

[@vanninintallinn]

That toilet looked no worse than anywhere else in the world or did the camera fail to pick up on something? The whole in the ground was OK and you’d probably not want to make contact with a seat anyway but maintaining balance on a moving train is hard.

[@garyreinke4741]

That place was a dump when i was there in 2007-2009 and still is i see
