@@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!
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.
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.
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
NEVER thought I'd see a UA-camr 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!
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!!
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 UA-cam.
Great video you guys as always. Time after time you find the general population are friendly and helpful, it's politicians and media that drag a place down.
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!
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!
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 UA-cam channel like this. Keep them coming Ben. 🎉
I love your channel. I grew up in Exeter and went to uni in Plymouth back in the day. I now live in New Zealand 🇳🇿. Your sense of humour and Alan Partridge references are hilarious 🤣
I see you and the other bloggers going to the Middle East and Central Asia, and I can't wait, to visit those places. Soon. I just came back from Georgia, The Baltic countries and Poland.
Tackling the Irritated STARE during any Travel adventures is really a difficult Task and so here Mr Ben and that Portugal Lady Kat is Performing so COOL in that Country Iraq now.
First time i seen a car covered in plastic, i guess he had bad experience in past.. We don't have trains up north where i live so its always nice to watch someone else travel with one, look forward to see your next adventure.
Great video. I can’t wait for more videos from Iraq. I’m the one that complains for more videos Mate. All the way from New York. Noisy city for sure. Iraq is nice and the people are really friendly.
Mate you are smashing it! None of this forced fuggery you see from most travel vlogs. would be great to see some more of you an bald in the future, the bants never gets old😂safe travels my friend 🤘🏻!
It was really nice to see Catarina open up more on this one, and those toilets looked hardcore, how do people get by without normal toilets man, our arses truly are blessed lol
Forgot to mention about you Ben, you are far more natural these days. You don't have the " youtube voice " anymore. Are you going to do Australia at any point. ??
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
Wow? I worked there in Iraq a lot, between 2009 and 2015, but ut was dangerous back in these days, so I never traveled there. A lot of beautiful changes there.
Easy benji... love ya videos... habeebi int.. yala haha... the guy in the beginning was asking where your from and u said Ben, then he said what country is that haha...
What a beautiful town was Basra! I cannot believe that after all the wars and crisis those ottoman houses survived. It looks a bit like Egypt or Albania or India.
8:07 💀💀💀💀💀💀 Any ways it's been great watching u having fun in Iraq and it's more fun watching Iraqi's confused by foreigners we don't get that many tourists 😂
ah man! I only visited Kurdistan 3 years ago, they were making sure at the border that I didn`t leave down south to Bagdad, not sure if it was for safety reasons or because I`m a solo female traveler but I would really love to visit Bagdad.
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.
Who needs TV when there are UA-cam channels like this... Awesome stuff!
You know it
I would Agree!! ❤

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.??
Never complains on camera.

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

Getting better than Mr Bald loving it

Any plans for an Iran trip? I know it is complicated with a Brit passport but it can still be done.
Nahhhh not until a tour isn’t needed
stay safe brother
Quality as usual Ben & Kat
GOD BLESS YOU VERY NICE INFORMATIVE VIDEO I LOVE TRAIN JOURNEY
ah man! I only visited Kurdistan 3 years ago, they were making sure at the border that I didn`t leave down south to Bagdad, not sure if it was for safety reasons or because I`m a solo female traveler but I would really love to visit Bagdad.
Belt and Road Initiative- here we come!
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.
