American Gets Royal Treatment in Iraq 

Actually brings a tear to my eye seeing how well they treated you.Through the power of positive energy, humanity will rise up.

"911 was 2001,yeah,it took you 2 years to invade our country,get in here". Funny,quick thinking,kind and a bit snarky. This man is after my own heart.

I was in Baghdad from 09 to 10 while in the army and a large majority of people were still hospitable to us. Despite invading their country for what turned out to be no reason they still treated me with kindness and were quick to pass on drinks, snacks and trade cigarettes. It really changed my perspective about everything and was a contributing factor to leaving the army

Dude........................these dudes were more genuine than anyone I've ever met. Absolute studs. They would literally give you the shirt off their back and ask you if it fits you ok. I hope these guys get what they deserve and they deserve the absolute best.

That’s right, I’m not dead. Just got locked out of my RU-vid account for the last month. Which means I’ve got a ton of content ready to go for y’all. Make sure you subscribe to keep up with the journey!

Ali is a lovely human being; his kindness, wisdom, and hospitality is something to aspire to. Your Iraq trip has been by far my favorite; what a wonderful culture with wonderful people!

What a bunch of lovely people Iraq has.

"Don't be an arsehole! The thing is not who you believe the most important thing is to understand the bloody message." That sounds fair enough to me. Jeez man, you almost look close to years at the thought of leaving Iraq. Bless them all. 🙏

this goes to show how the people of every nation have more in common with one another than the warmongers who believe violence is the solution.

Ali is such an intelligent and open-minded person. I could hear hi talking all day long

dude idk how you don't have more subs!! i've been binge watching all your adventures lately it's awesome how you interact with the locals! been loving the videos

“No you filthy American it’s not” lmfao that dude is so solid 😂

I’m falling in love with this form of human connection. This kind of content is so necessary to all of us as a collective eventually recognizing that we are all truly one. The paranoid country vs country age will be over! And it was Good!

These people are SO great. Imagine everyone was as kind as them, how awesome the world would be. Sucks that extremists and the news ruin what these people truly are.

This is one of my favorite videos of yours! Before watching it I thought of Iraq as a nation plagued by war; now I understand it’s far more than that. Keep up the good work man!

this is awesome to see. i’ve always heard wonderful things about iraq. i had a coworker who lived there as a teenager in the 80’s, and what she described was amazing. then in the later 80’s it started crashing down once invasions and inner conflicts began and she moved back. wonderful to see they don’t all hold our worst moments over us.

Im amazed by the Iraqi hospitality, we are all sad about what this country had gone through, we love iraq, greeting from Canada

As an Arab guy , I'm very proud of you Ali to show the real and blessed side of us

Man, I was fully broken down with "the kitty"... That the giving, the love, extends all the way down. That's how it should be. America could learn a lot from this culture. You're cheeky with the "Small Brain" but I see that heart of gold shining, my friend. Keep it goin'! and always remember ... I LOVE YOU!

I love that you are featuring countries that are not "tourist friendly" as they say. Didnt know its the other way around. I wanna go now!

Ali should be a tour guide, I’d visit Iraq tmr to hangout & sip some tea with that gem of a being

welcome bro any time you come for iraq our houses open for you bro anything you need we are here for you bro ty for coming 2 iraq and show the world what iraq is not only about killing and shit things iraq not like that and bro ty for real from my heart saying that

Soooo wonderful people. The owner just rode u to another city ☺️☺️ they are sooo sweet people it's so sad we haven't been able to travel there. 💐💐💐💐💐 فدوة لاهل العراق شكيد حبابين

Such a fascinating life you live bro! I'm too anxious to do the things you do, so I really appreciate you sharing your wild adventures with us. Your faith in humanity is amazing.

9:18 This guy is honestly so impressive, the message of don't be an asshole and trying to get the message of respect and love, no matter who delivered it, is honestly so wise and beautiful. Love from Sweden!

This is just so beyond beautiful, genuinely brought me to tears and inspires me to be a better person. Living proof of Ali's words that generosity comes back to you, somehow someway.

Iraq is such a blessed and awesome country for sure, all thoses peolpes in this vid are geniunely kind hearted

Dude your channel is severely underrated really hope you blow up

You got me cracking up in these man. You're the king of one liners 😂

"Thank you for coming along to Iraq" Duuude no THANK YOU for bringing me along with you man!! Right on bro!

the Iraq visits are some of the top 10 content you've made. thanks for this brave adventure

my boyfriend and i are binge watching all your vids everyday even if we already watched it already. love your videos

i was there around the same time and area that you were, its crazy that i didnt see you. im glad you enjoying my country man. i hope you come back and visit again soon

LETS GO HES ALIVE!!! GO TO DIFFERENT COUNTY

I love how every one of your videos has all these different characters that you somehow have met off-camera. I feel like you only show such a very small portion of your adventures. I love it

Good to see you posting homie.

Man, I'm so going to Iraq one day. What a lovely people, especially how our countries treated them.

I really enjoyed this one. The Guys u met were just awesome People. Amazing Hospitality..!! Amazing..!! It’s so cool that u go and get the Real Deal Scoop of what Iraq is Really all about. Love it. 🇮🇶✌️

This needs more views. Top video man

Some of my best friends are from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon. They are the most generous and selfless people in the world. I 100% trust these guys to have my back when shits hit the fan.

Hey dude, have only just started watching your channel. Love it. I went to Syria in 93 and out of 50+ countries I've visited was one of my favorites, along with Jordan. It brings a tear to my eye that the most beautiful people on this planet are treated with such inhumanity and can bounce back and remain what humanity should all be about. My last trip was to Myanmar in 2017 and once again absolutely beautiful people put through the wringer by way too much internal and external Govt. corruption and self interest. Very sad but anyway keep sharing and rocking dude, it's these experiences that will really change your perspective on humanity...

This touched me 😢the people there are amazing

Love your channel bro I have been binge watching all day bro

I watch a lot of travel vloggers and honestly most of their vlogs are fun and show me the different cultures and people which is amazing but the reason i specially like your vlogs more than any others is because youre cool about everything. This may sound like an understatement but i really mean it. Things that should usually offend people, youre cool about them and you say yes to a lot of sus adventures which is also very entertaining. I think i just like your composure and personality alot be yourself man. Hoping for more of the same

Think how special anyone is after they endured an invasion of their country and still….they are as friendly as what we see here. Amazing.

they were so kind to you. that food looked rlly good too

i love your videos bro, i'm started watching since last day

New subscriber today, love your videos! Your feelings of Iraq is exactly how I felt first time visiting Thailand 1990, now I live here full time in Chiang Mai for 7 years! I'm never leaving..lol lived in San Diego for 30 years...I don't miss it.

I would love to go and see their Christian monasteries and the location of the battle of gaugamela. Iraq has so much to offer and I absolutely love the people there. They’re the warmest, kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Truly Gods people. I can see why Alexander the Great fell in love with it. Be careful over there. I’m glad you’re documenting your experience. Maybe, one day, it will be a safer place to visit. I hope we can make things right from what our stupid government did.

Man this is how it should be peace and love and getting to know your fellow humans brother to brother sister to sister. Very amazing and special on so many levels dude you are lucky to get to have such a beautiful experience.

This was an incredible vid. Thank you for showing us what the “enemy” look like. For real, the very best people.

Connor, you are a pretty wonderful dude, dude. Thanks heaps for sharing your adventures.

These blokes are something else how they take time out to show u around and share their space very hard to find the hospitality from their heart big up to ALI and his mates

"whisky bad" two seconds later: *lights cig and exposes everyone to secondhand smoke* Logic😆

ay any time ill see you upload a video in iraq ill try to get in touch with you and meet you and Ali aswell he seems like a very good hearted person you were soo close to my home in that coffe shop its like 5 mins walk any ways good luck in your trips bro

New subscriber here 👋🏼 but I think we can all take something from this vlog experience and learn a few things. Such beautiful vibes and culture for sure 🙏🏼

Cheers from Bulgaria

9:03 this guy has a really good message, I really love that anywhere you go you can meet people like that. the west has something to learn from these people.

Great stuff!

Brother make more videos, love the adventure

Enjoy your content. Stay safe. Maybe get out of Iraq soon?

Those guys feel good vibe . They got your back .

Such a good vibe :)

Homeboy with great English was hilarious to me dude! Travel Forever Connor!

Literally the most underrated RU-vid channel

Good vibes bring good vibes

Ali was amazing. They all were! That guy should have his own TV show with that sense of humor of his.

It's sad not not see women enjoying life in restaurants, shops an enjoying what the men get to do!.

Really makes me sad to think America played a large role in the destabilization of this great country. Iraq had so much promise and so much history. I hope it can recover to its former glory in the coming decades.

I was not expecting a hellcat in Iraq.

Really eye opening videos over your time in Iraq. Ive been binging your channel and this and Myanmar we're definitely my favorite legs of the journey. I had a question tho, do you feel like the camera and explaining you are filming for a youtube channel had an impact on your interactions and reception? Its clear the sincerity of the people you met(withholding the secret service general to the embassy guys hussle).

"Don't be an asshole and that's it"... Perfect. ✌️

this guy does great clips! - why are the numbers so low???

Love this video ❤❤❤❤

Amazing.

Great traveler and representative of our USA....nice work buddy

I've sat here and watched maybe 20 videos.. and I guess I'm a numbers guy but i gz'd you on 300k and that was what? 24 hours? 28 hours ago? You're killing it, don't change anything.. keep being you. YOU made me want to go outside, seriously cheers and stay safe.

that fade was fresh, barber was not messing around

Ali is the man 😂😂

I love you Iraq 🇮🇶 ❤ Love from USA 🇺🇸

Jheez that Clit joke was perfectly timed

🌍🌄🌎 thank you for showing the true situations....

Amazing ppl , I just wish I could visit like that as a woman , maybe someday

I can’t believe you are walking around these streets…in ‘06-‘08 it was horrifically horrendous street fighting…everyday…

This. Warms my heart so fucking much. This channel makes me so happy. B

ALL LOVE

Yes im from iraq and some of them scammer so careful again XD

Welcome ❤️‍🩹🔥❤️‍🔥

Crazy seeing Baghdad like that… I was there in the early 2000’s and I assure you, it was quite a different experience 😂

I'm really a fan of yours and I see how much you like everything. So that you don't have the same problem that you reported on here in the comments, it would be advisable to get a second channel, ideally even "independent" of the first one. there are many "truly independent" possibilities

It's really strange how they spend money to welcome you, even knowing that perhaps they won't see ever again. It's like hospitality from their heart. I guess that's why those people withstand all the wars and suffering and still finding hope. I guess Islam is not an evil religion as the media portrays it.

That's a proper barber you can tell cause he used a straight razor to line you up and took the smock off before he lined and cleaned your neck up

I love your videos man

i like these guys

0:20 chad music in the background

0:49 is that the sigma song playing in the back?

9:53 that guy fed you the fish after scratching his foot

Love Ali and his crew

Love your vlogs man, been watching them for a few days now after my kid son recommended it to me. P.s. you look like a narc from the 80s/90s.

Didn't know Craig Engels traveled the world, big fan of you mister
