    Thank you everyone who watched the Iraq videos! Back in the UK now and waiting for the next adventure. Remember, if you want some Saddam Hussein money from Iraq then comment below something and I’ll choose someone 👍

      I remember Simon Wilson invited a subscriber to come and travel with him and they had to send a video on why they want to travel with him. He did it with some subscribers for some different countries. And hotels 🏨 and accommodations were all paid for. They only had to pay for flights and food & drinks.

I've been watching you for a while and have made a few comments. I did mention about your delivery being a bit strained. However, you are smashing it now. I feel your being yourself now, far more natural. Your doing a great job, your taking a few risks and your content is great. Loving the places your going to. It does take bottle to go to these places, especially alone. Top man, keep it up, I'm getting to see places I wouldn't see normally. Top man

    Hi Ben.I’ve worked in Kurdistan and it is completely different too Iraq. Most British people don’t understand the difference but working with Kurds im very aware how patriotic they are of their own state. Personally the Kurds also for the most part have a different physical appearance. They tend to be more olive skinned than the Iraqis. Ben that posh hotel you had a drink in being a westerner they wouldn’t of even challenged you. I know it sounds arrogant but you’ve got to walk in like you own the place and they won’t even challenge you😂
