I'm probably too late for this, but I just want a flight back home to New York after being trapped in Myanmar for 3 years and having to live in hiding from the military for 2 years. Basically I was working here for a short contract and was in a warehouse accident just before COVID really spread. My business visa expired in May of 2020 (3 years ago) because I was unable to work after reconstructive surgery and a month in the hospital, and in order to extend a business visa you need a company sponsor. Well I had a falling out with my former employer because they would only pay a small part of my medical bills despite the accident being their fault - I fell through some rotting floorboards of their warehouse while working and onto a metal machine below, shattering my upper arm into 6 pieces and injuring my back. So due to our falling out, I couldn't get sponsorship from them and I couldn't get a new job because I was bed ridden. The visa expiring wouldn't have been a big deal, immigration couldn't help me, but the government put it a notice saying that anyone who overstayed because of the border shutdowns and airport closures for COVID would not face penalties. That was the civilian government. In February 2021, the military took power in a coup, and by the time they reopened the borders it was clear they were jailing foreigners for overstayed visas. They also arrested at least I've foreigner for not having a recently updated residency form, which I have not been able to get since my visa expired. So basically if I try to leave it I'm caught here in looking at a 5+ year prison sentence. Most foreign prisoners have picky served a few months or weeks of these sentences (in terrible conditions) before being released early when the junta needs to make themselves look better. The whole thing is just a political game. I could possibly smuggle myself into Thailand without external help, either by a multi-day fishing boat, or over land with the help of pro-democracy rebels, but then I have a problem with the Thai officials for having illegally entered into Thailand (though a much smaller problem). Like I said, in guessing I probably missed this anyway, but if you guys have any connections into Thailand who could smooth things out for me if I could manage to get myself that far, that would be amazing. I want to see my Nana one more time while she's still alive and somewhat coherent, and I want to meet my first niece and see the rest of my family, and not be living in fear 24/7. I know it's a longshot, but I figure you guys must have extra good fixers all over the world, and you made the offer to fly someone to their dream destination, and right now my dream destination is home, despite even having a fianceé here who has been great at keeping me held together, but I could be more help for her just working part time a little in the US and sending her money, since the dollar goes so far here, and then I can come back here when the rebels win the revolution in maybe another year or two. I can't live like this never leaving my apartment and not knowing when I'll ever see my family again. The US Embassy has not been helpful at all and just told me my only option was to turn myself in to immigration, as if this was my fault.

This episode feels like you are just making a joke of the stuggle that millions , if not billions of people go through to access something that a few take for granted and don't even have to think about. You had a problem so you just threw $150,000 plus at it, a sum which is more out of reach than heaven for most people. There are really no words to express the injustice of this passport scam we are facing in the world right now. We are all humans, born equal but as soon as we enter this world now, we get our rights taken away from us. Most frustrating of all is that immigration is a new and horrible invention, humans have travelled for millenia and immigration was not necesary. Freedom to travel is a human right as long as you can move you should not be restricted from going anywhere. The passport and visa issue is a matter of life and death for a lot of people nowadays and it is one of the biggest forms of segregration still going on in the world. One rule for one set of people and another rule for others. There is no logic (despite how they try to convince you) to how countries decide their entry scam, it is just a rip off and there is no independent adjudicator to turn to. People lose life savings on immigration matters and families become destitiute not to mention the heartbreak and all manner of mental illness that families go through due to years of separation and some can even lose touch forever. The biggest lie they like to tell is that they need to keep their resources for theirr own citizens that is why they need to keep others out and its ususally the countries who were plundering nations, who now need to protect their resources for their own citizens. Then if you finally manage to jump all the hurdles, risk life and limb to travel, they ask you why can't you stay in your own country? Well I could ask you the same question, why didn't you stay in your own country from the start? Why do you get to decide you can explore the world but now get to make a rule that actually only certain people are allowed to explore? Whatever I know its a pointless argument.

Was born to a Filipino mother and a Malaysian father, the marriage didnt went on papers. Was stateless (someone without citizenship) for almost more than 20 years. That is why i feel the feelings of Amar in his journey of getting alternate citizenship. It was really touched watching the video. I know what it felt like to live without or with limited citizenship rights. It was never easy. Managed to sorted the citizenship problem and got it last year. Havent had the chance to fly to another country. I hope one day i can visit the home country of my mother, which she has been talking about it since i am young. Hopefully I’ll get there someday.

I’m sure I’m not the only one but I literally cried watching this video. Ammar’s story hit too close to home. I moved to the United States 10 years ago from a country in Central Asia called Uzbekistan, I was born and raised there and didn’t want to leave but my parents thought it would be for the best. Not realizing that we would run into the immigration issue, where as soon as I got my American citizenship I could no longer go back home. It’s been 10 years since I’ve seen my family and it pains me every day. Luckily now with the new president in Uzbekistan they eased the laws and it became more possible, the issue now is the plane ticket is extremely expensive for me or any of my family to afford. But despite the American passport making it impossible for me to see my family for 10 years, I’ve definitely been taking advantage of it. I became a part time traveler, I’m 26 years old and I travel solo to countries I’ve never been before. Learning about other cultures, languages, lifestyles etc. Just two months ago I came back from a trip to Finland where my literal dream came true, I saw the northern lights. Thank you, Yes Theory for not only making amazing content but also being so encouraging and touching our souls in the way that you do. We love you guys❤

If I had to go anywhere in the world it would be Antartica with my dad as his dad/my grandfather earned a polar medal for his rescue work in polar cravasses, leading to him getting a summit named after him (Mt Wise). To visit this summit or even Antartica would mean a great deal as he died from lung complications early on in my dads life only a few months before I was born. It is so joyous to see Ammar able to fully appreciate the joys of travel without undue stress.

St. Kitts has a pretty neat flag! The green symbolizes the islands' fertile land (the Kalinago originally named St. Kitts, Liamuiga, meaning "fertile land"), the red symbolizes the bloodshed against slavery and colonialism, the yellow represents the nation's continuous sunshine, the two stars represent the islands and hope and liberty, and the black symbolizes the people's African origins. Besides Hamilton, something else the islands are famous for is being the home of the viral alcoholic vervet monkeys that the BBC once showed on Weird Nature. Vervet monkeys aren't native to the islands, they're originally from Africa and snuck on ships. They adapted there by eating sugarcane, but they just love to snatch people's drinks right on the beach!

Holy shit, the amount of effort you guys put into a single video is unimaginable. The fact that you can put several thousands of dollars into one small segment of a video just proves that you and your team actually care about what you are doing. Not even just that, but also the videography, the dedication to the camera shots and the film quality is astonishing, and then theres the fact that these heart-warming moments, like Ammar being able to finally travel where he wants and NOT get stopped by an immigration officer is just amazing to hear and great to watch. If I were to pick a place for my dream country to visit, it would probably be Japan, I'd love to go there because of the History, Culture, Cuisine and the general kindness of the public. Even just to learn about the country is astonishing, wither thats the geography - like the huge mountains in the snowy north, or the boiling volcanoes in the heated south, it is all stupidly interesting. Same with the history, like how the last 100 samurais defeated an entire Mongol army, and how emperors have been backstabbed over the many years. I find it amazing. But seriously, I personally think this video is seriously well made, and I am extremely happy for Ammar.

Your videos inspired me to get a passport at 33 years old with a toddler. I have avoided discomfort while dreaming of faraway places and obsessively watching travel videos. Yours is the first that has truly lit a fire inside me. I studied French for many years and, afraid of studying abroad, quietly let it slip away. Your videos have shown the importance of connecting with others even with a language barrier. I started taking French lessons again and my dream is to visit Guadeloupe, very near Ammar’s new home country, to speak French with locals and immerse myself in their culture.

I live in kazakhstan now as an international student on a little funding. My greatest fear is still how i can get visas to travel to other countries during and after my studies. Its sad that some of us are born without freedom, but we hope to give our all in life to give our children the freedom we seek. I truly understand Amar, and the Yes theory team are great guys.

I'm sorry to tell you that and I don't want to discourage you but the EU and UK will probably cancel the visa-free access for those types of passports. In fact, any citizenship by investment will likely be excluded from the visa waiver privilege. This will also give ideas to other countries so if I were you I wouldn't really rely on such passports. What I'm saying already happened to Dominica and Vanuatu for example. Also, Hungary used to have a such program and now the US doesn't allow a visa-free access for people having a Hungarian passport but who were not born in Hungary. Also, the EU puts a huge pressure on any country that has visa-free privileges to the Schengen area and that offers a golden passport. They made everything to make Greece and Hungary abandon their programs and they succeeded. So be really careful when you're about to invest money on such things as when it's cheap and fast to obtain a citizenship, it only means that the program will lose its credibility.

Hi! I'm from South Africa and I've always dreamed of seeing the world. Last week, I went skydiving for my 21st birthday (repping Seek Discomfort obviously). I've been following you guys since 2018 when I was at a point in my life where I was afraid and unconfident in the world and myself. Watching you guys has taught me to say eff it, and ever since I've been doing more and more things that scare me. My parents were born and raised in Apartheid South Africa, the majority of the population was born during Apartheid, and in the country there is still a gaping whole where trust between people should be. I think that Africa has been overlooked by the world and by its own people because of the pain of the past and the deep lack of trust. My biggest dream is to travel around Africa and to learn from it and it's people no matter how much this terrifies me. This being said, I would love to go to Rwanda.

The first video I ever watched of Yes Theory was the trip to Tuvalu. Ever since I’ve fell in love with the concept of traveling to places that no one ever goes, exploring the area, and getting to know the people. Watching you guys inspired me to get a degree in english and embark on adventures, documenting my journey as I go. If I got the free trip I’d truly see no place more fit to go than where my inspiration began: Tuvalu. With somewhat clandestine twist of fate, a boy who grew up in a small town in Arkansas, and watched a KZbin video about a place no one’s ever heard of, would find himself there only a few years later. It would mean the world.

Coming from a conservative family I have always been an INTROVERT guy! If you ask my parents, few years back when I used to go out with them I wouldn't even utter a word. After watching Yes Theory and seeing you guys getting rid of your fear of rejections it struck me and ever since then I have been trying to get rid of mine too! It has brought so much positive change in me that I can't even express. It literally brought out tears to my eyes seeing Amar this happy and the amount of positive vibe he carries within himself. As a person coming from India I would love to visit California to hangout with you guys in the Yes Theory house to help me kick my fear of rejection out of the park! Keep making beautiful videos.

The whole philosophy of the Yes Theory team resonates so strongly, in such a positive way. Love not only the places and challenges but they way you engage with locals and support each other. Living in Australia, my dream is to head as far north as possible. I would LOVE to visit Svalbard. To experience life where sunlight ranges from all day to zero would be just so far out of my experience, would be just so, so, incredible. Keep pumping out the adventures, they are inspiring.

I live in London. Was Born and raised here and have never left this little city. Throughout the years I have had many places on my bucket list to travel too. Greece, Sweden, Svalbard... However, I have met this wonderful person through online gaming, we have been talking for almost a year now and I think it's finally time to leave my nest and travel to Germany to meet her. We've always talked about what we'd do when we first meet each other, all the places we would go, all the acitivities there are to do there. Watching Yes Theory videso all these years made me say yes to discomfort and agree to go visit her in the Summer. It is now currently my dream destination to go to Germany as it would be one of the first steps to me being more adventerous, more courageous and of course to meet this special girl.

My advice, if I can, is after this experience don't stop. Every summer take 2 weeks to travel the world, and bring your special girl (Traveling in 2 is the perfect number for every trip). Try to visit every year different places and maybe come back in other again. Don't be shy to speak the local language and do not care about making mistakes. I hope I haven't been boring or annoying to you. Hope you gonna find yourself in Germany (beautiful country btw) and the right girl.

My dream destination would be Italy. Being from Australia, most countries around the world are so far away and so expensive to get to. Especially for someone like me who is a nurse, so I don't earn a lot of money. International travel is a luxury that I can't afford. I have always dreamed of going to Italy and immersing myself in their culture of food and wine. I would also love to see the beautiful countryside and beaches that Italy has to offer. It is such a picturesque country with beautiful people and world-renowned cities. This would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me to be able to go to Italy, and it would mean so much to me to be able to go to the country I have been dreaming about visiting since I was a little girl.

This is amazing! What is something you would view as "stop [ing] living your life just to exist," I have been struggling to figure that out for myself. I want to help others, bring valuable impact the world and others net positively without stripping away morals and experience the world with others, but I am not sure how to do that. I am scared of wasting my life the wrong way, but I don't know what the right way is. I am attempting school again because I have no other ideas atm. What's your plan for your next step?

This brought me to tears, I have watched your journey for many years and I am so happy you got to visit St. Kitts and Nevis. As a Jamaican living in Canada and not being able to see my family for 12 plus years, this cuts really deep. I'm not usually a very lucky person but I am trying to live outside my comfort zone more and more each day. Sooo here goes nothing, my dream destination is Jamaica, to go back home to see my mom, dad and brother and have them finally meet their granddaughter, my baby girl born in 2020. I pray you will be able to see your family soon Ammar without fear, it is heartbreaking to see your tears, be strong❤❤❤❤.

Since becoming apart of the yes fam 4 years ago, I always love watching your videos that perfectly encapsulate the connections we all have and the vast world to explore. Each second of the video makes me feel like I am vicariously living and experiencing the world through you, which has inspired me to step outside my comfort zone and go on my own adventures, with friends and even by myself. A dream of mine has always been Cambodia for it's rich cultural and spectacular landscape. Thank you for all the opportunities you give everyone and inspiring us all to make the most of our lives!

Im 14, from Argentina but living in the UK. I feel so privileged to see how Ammar went through all that struggle and hard times that my problems feel miniscule compared to his. I love what you guys do and hope whoever joins your adventures gets the same joy as I see Ammar get when he visits these places. I especially would like to go to New Zealand. I just imagine it as the perfect place, Paradise even. Having lived in three different countries, I still feel like my discomfort zone has yet to been discovered. However, I do speak Spanish fluently so I have a wide range of places to go. (Do with that what you will :) Thank you for putting smiles on all our faces every video guys!!

It fills me with joy to see Ammar this happy. I remember the videos where i wished for him to participate, but he wouldn't be allowed to pass the border or couldn't come along because of the egyptian citizenship. It always broke my heart to see Ammar, this kind, outgoing, and joyful man, to struggle so much, just because of such reasons. I hope to one day meet the yes theory members in person, somewhere on our earth. Until then, i thank you on here.

First of all, I want to say, I love you guys. I think I speak for all of us when I say, you not only make our days brighter, but you make the world brighter! I've read comments with a much deeper reason for where they'd love to visit, so please, choose one if theirs. My dream destination is Italy, specifically Genoa and Sicily as that's where my family comes from. I've been studying Italian at college and my love for nature and geography I've realized is some of the most important things to me. I can't wait to travel more, but unfortunately, I don't have a job at the moment and paying for tuition is going to be very hard next year. In closing, Keep up the great work and never change, the world needs more people like y'all

It's so heart-warming yet so hurtful to see such happiness on something as simple as freedom. Everyone deserves the right to travel wherever and i'm glad you have finally got the chance to do what you've always wanted to do; travel the world. This channel has been a huge inspiration for me and many of my friends, from the dedicated attitude towards each and every piece of content, to the other-worldly scenes of the amazing places you visit. But to answer your question towards the end, two places (because I couldn't decide between them) I have always dreamed of visiting is Iceland and the Philippines (very different I know) due to both their populations' general kindness, intriguing local cuisine and immaculate natural scenery that you don't see anywhere else from Iceland's Blue Lagoon and moss covered houses, to the Chocolate Hills and clear blue waters of the Philippines they are places that me and my friends could only dream of going...

The country I've been dreaming of going to since 2014 is India. The reason is that I met an Indian guy on Facebook and we have been friends ever since. I am from little town of Lithuania, India seemed soo exotic to me! Over the years, we both grew together talking about our cultures, our backgrounds, starting families and growing professionally. I started to admire Indian culture so much thanks to Raj!For me personally, he is the person who has walked with me through the most difficult paths of my life, who has supported me emotionally, even though he was in another part of the world, I still felt I had him completely in my life. And that connection is still there. He will always be important to me, even though we don't talk every day, but he has a part of my heart. I know that one day, no matter what happens, we will meet so that we can look into each other's eyes, not through a screen. ☺️

This comment isn’t for me, but for my friend. I am lucky enough to have already been to my dream destination (Paris) and was also lucky enough to take one of my closest friends with me on my last visit there:Courtney. Honestly, I couldn’t tell you Courtney’s number one dream destination; she is so full of ambition and light and hope that I know there are a number of places that could fit the bill. After our trip together (which was her first out of the US) she went back to Paris on her own a few months later. She also started making plans to travel to other countries in the near future. She makes friends wherever she goes. Courtney is the definition of a dreamer: warm, filled with hope, open to people and cultures, and fiercely determined. While I cannot pinpoint the city or country, I do know that she would use the opportunity of this plane ticket like no one else would. She makes a difference in people’s lives every single day, and I’m hoping that you will now make a difference in hers.

New Zealand is a dream destination of mine. My grandma used to travel all over the world when she was younger and she always tells me that New Zealand is the most beautiful country she has been to. The nature, the animals and the people were what excited her about New Zealand. I would love to go and experience the beauty of New Zealand too.
