Hey friend thanks for your amazing video I'm from #Kurdistan. You always welcome back to #Kurdistan 🖐🌺

[@captaincrunch5507]

Curious, I’ve noticed you’ve mostly traveled to Muslim-Majority countries? Is it the weather, culture, food, religion, etc…that keeps bringing back? Safe travels

[@JasonBillamTravel]

@@captaincrunch5507 Mostly curiosity and a love for the people and culture.

It's pronounced Ar-beel, not er-bill.

[@ruthbartonico7531]

My heart goes to the Kurdish people. I hope they will be left in peace where they are! I pray that they will have a peaceful life with their neighbour countries, and that they get respect and love from them. My prayers for you Kurdish people....🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💖💖

[@johnreid2691]

unfortunately it's impossible to live in peace with neighbors led by political Islam, the sad news some of the Kurdish people copy the bad neighbor's culture instead of protecting their own great culture

Some these family's live such simple lives and are always so welcoming and happy...us people in the western world have alot to learn...keep up the good work

[@kardoxcenna260]

That’s actually quite rich way of living in the towns of Kurdistan. I doubt they live like that normally. Their breakfast was richer than normal because of hospitality culture.

[@halaldunya918]

Don't be fooled by these videos, this guy carries a camera and so gets special treatment, there's a lot of scum in the Middle East and other Islamic lands. The hospitality is exaggerated.

[@andyroo9381]

I really appreciate how friendly, warm, welcoming and hospitable the Kurdish people are. They have been through Hell but still welcome strangers into their home.

[@Ebru_33]

Kurdistan region looks like a safer place than central Iraq region

[@JasonBillamTravel]

It’s probably easier to travel solo in the Iraqi Kurdistan region for sure. The checkpoints are a lot less intense and they’re more familiar with foreign tourists.

[@thecoolers1975]

it’s very easier because kurdistan is a beautiful country and no one will ruin it

[@peshangmuhammad176]

I'm from Sulaymaniyah _ Kurdistan , I'd like to say " You're very welcome to my lovely country, Kurdish people and families are very kind person , Welcome again :) :)

Hi there, Jason, every video you post is now the very top quality imo. Your editing, the music & the effects are really outstanding. Kurdistan ❤ is a country with no friends, but a few mountains and surrounded by enemies. Despite all the corruptions which are going on, the citizens do not lose their optimism to host visitors. Thank you 🙏 for sharing, Sir. We look forward for more videos from you.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Thank you. That’s right, the hospitality is wonderful and a lot of people still have positivity.

Thank you Jason for showing my homeland Kurdistan to the world. We have a word in a Kurdish which goes, Me-Wan Pa- Rist. Which means guest-worshipper, because we love to have to guest over so we can feed them and just show them a good time. I love my people. I wish we could have our country back. We don’t want wars and fights we just want our land which anyone can come visit and we will treat you like one of our own. ♥️☀️💚
