HELLO THERE:
We are Joe and Liisu, full-time travelers from Estonia on a mission to break stereotypes, show diverse cultures and wander in the magical nature. Joe, a seasoned traveler of 8 years, began his journey while working in Australia, New Zealand and Canada (holding over 25 different jobs). Liisu, a former medical doctor, joined the adventure 2 years ago. Now we live on the road, exploring the world either from our backpacks or in a van.
This is really a special experience. I’m so happy to get to know this country through your channel!
Their friendliness was very impressive and I hope I can visit there one day too!
I like your optimistic, positive, and calm attitude.
No matter which country you are in, my mood will get better after watching you!
Thanks a lot for sharing, really super great job! 👍🤩🙌
Thank you so much!
@@WildVikingTravels It is my honor, thanks to you too!
Take care! Happy travels! 👍🥰🙏

Hello there! I’m super glad you enjoyed Kuwait, first of all I’m happy about your thoughts on us. And to talk about the two negatives at the end of the video I first have to say thanks for stating them, we need people to know about these problems and actively try to stop it. Secondly, while we don’t have a lot of green power we are working on it, the government is building the Shegayah green power plan in southern Kuwait which has a solar farm, wind turbines, and other green methods to create electricity. Thirdly, the pollution is a horrible thing that we Kuwaitis are also actively trying to tone down on, the government also added more environmentally friendly laws on industries and all that but still we need more work. Finally the littering, that is one thing me as a Kuwaiti have been acting against this, though it’s still largely present which is a sad thing I like to think it’s getting better because of the knowledge people have nowadays. I am not trying to devalue your comments since they’re actually valid, I’m just explaining what we as a country have been doing. I think personally the green energy will be the easiest to implement and the littering the hardest to stop 😢
Anywho I hope you’ll visit soon cause I’ll be inviting you to a lot of museums!!
Welcome to your second Country ❤️ 🇰🇼
I'm so glad you visited this country and shared it with us. Also that you showed both sides of the 'coin'. Happy, safe travels!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. You showed the locals in a positive light. Very well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is an awesome video, i liked how true you represented your experience from the places you visited, prices, people… etc., as for littering my heartache when i see it after people hangout. Fortunately, Kuwait published EPA (Environmental Public Authority) in the late 1990s and is also developing its environmental laws to keep up with the fast urbanization and all the pollution that comes with city life. So, after the camping season is over(March), campaigns are made by the EPA to clean up the desert, in addition violates camps that harm the desert habitat since all these temporary camps are authorized by the municipality and paid insurance to the country.
Thanks again for your true feedback and representing my country beautifully!
The efforts you are putting in your videos is just amazing 👏🏻 to see and of course experience through your videos🎉🎉.

Thanks, will do!
You video headline is wrong Kuwait mostly grew from the sea trading , in summer pearl trading and winter is trading between Africa and India because Kuwaiti where very good in building wooden large boats. I come from Kuwait and we never grew with camels. There is nothing with camels it’s beautiful animal and God best creation
You are correct, I will get it changed
That’s wrong the camel is part of our culture

"Your origins are from Persia, and you are not an indigenous inhabitant of the Arabian Peninsula! How dare you say this to the visitor! The desert and camels are an integral part of the culture of the entire Arabian Peninsula, from Kuwait to the farthest reaches of Saudi Arabia, you distorter of history and cultures."

@joe you actually have a very distinctive look you could model so do not sell youselve short as having influencer potential and @Liisu you are so sweet and always look quietly amused!!!
Awesome
how do they call cafe americano in kuwait? nice video from you guys
Kuwait is a NYC of the middle east 😍
Was the visa easy?
Welcome to Kuwait 🤍🤍
Another interesting video guys. As you are in the Gulf I do TOTALLY recommend Oman. I visited solo a few years ago, just birdwatching. I thoroughly enjoyed it, super friendly people of course, Arabs and south Asians, great landscapes and no skyscrapers. Oman has stayed low level and retained more of its traditions than elsewhere in the Gulf. Plus you can legally camp anywhere in the desert and mountains or along the coast.
Ohh man, we actually just made it to Oman and first impressions are absolutely amazing!
It feel like the kind of Arabia you see from the movies 🤣👍
Totally, you'll love it but don't get stuck in the Empty Quarter 😎
Kuwait has plenty of oil and cheap with low sulphur in it , extremely rich , but they don’t keep investment in their country , they have many big refineries in oman and African countries
👍❤
Pearl monument in Qatar in a Kuwait video 🧐
Yea, sadly Kuwait doesn't have much representation of their pearling past... So I had to use a shot from Qatar to deliver a visual point
Come to saudi arabia
Just to correct retirement age can start after 40 so around 20 years f government services for en and 15 for woman early retirement plans
I was working there in 1991 - 1992, just after the war.
I met many TCNs and OFWs who were brutality treated and abused by both male and female Kuwaitis. I also found Kuwaitis to be impolite and arrogant.
As for prices, in 1991, I paid £12.50 for a pot of tea and 2 pieces of cake, the equivalent of £33.63 in 2024.
Wow.
Our experience was luckily a fair bit different 😅

Ugh, the trash is terrible but Kuwait is not alone eh! People simply have no respect for the environment they are enjoying! UK, EU, North Africa, all the same, crap everywhere! As a campervaner, prefering to camp in remote places, the trash is everywhere 😞 Most places we can easily collect two or three sacks full of garbage! People, you took it there, take it home with you and dispose of it properly!
Kuwait is IRAQI governorate and the British gave it to a tribes who came from Saudi Arabia at that time after discover the oil
it’s in the past
Why u keeping sayin sh!t , losers
