    Hey guys!!! Join me on an unforgettable and eye-opening journey in SYRIA as I embark on a 13-day solo adventure across one of the most conflict-ridden countries in the world. This is not your typical travel vlog, as I go beyond the tourist hotspots and dive deep into the heart of Syria, experiencing the culture, the people, and the everyday life in a way that few outsiders ever have seen before.
    From the ancient ruins of Aleppo to the bustling streets of Damascus and the lovely beach towns of Latakia, I capture the raw beauty and resilience of a nation torn apart by war. This is a side of Syria that you certainly won't see on the news, and it will leave you with a new perspective on the Middle East. Get ready to be moved, inspired, and maybe even a little bit scared as I take you on the trip of a lifetime.

      When you talk to politician as a tourist like you which you have a lot of follower is a big mistake and trust me none of them tell you the truth, like that Mayor in Sadad.
      The war in Syria start in 15 March 2011 as part of the wider 2011 Arab Spring protests to take down Bashar Assad Dictator and that was the time when Russa and Iranian dictator government with Qasem Soleimani start the was against Syrian people to save and keep Bashar Assad. and that is why 500,000 people get kild by Russians, Bashar Assad and Qasem Soleimani.
      So, ISIS exist in 2014, 3 years after Civil War in Syria.

    As a Syrian immigrant, I just wanted to thank you for this amazing video where you have actually spotted the light on the true reality of how beautiful the nature of people there. How amazingly old & historic every sight & street you crossed upon.
    This is us. This is our country. We had & still have people with different religions & ethnicities. Yet, we always managed to be simply beautiful & good loving as one.
    Unfortunately, in this life, sometimes things just turn out to result in a very hectic way..
    It’s so sad knowing that I have lost my country..
    It is so sad knowing that every destroyed street in there was once a school for children, a hospital for the sick, a shelter for the orphans, etc.
    It literally bring me tears when I see all of that destruction.. Especially when I know that I have had actually witnessed how beautiful Syria was & how genuine everyone was before the crisis.
    I really love you Drew! You are one in a billion type of human to actually go all the way, & even through danger just to shed a light on the true beauty of my country.

We in the West are drip red information and images of Syria which mean our perception of it is filled with war, bombs, guns, and misery. What I took from your video was hope, positivity, and joy, despite hardship. The hospitality and kindness and smiles of the Syrian people will stay with me for a long time. I really did think it was wonderful. Thank you for showing the heart of Syria to all of us. From Sarah, UK.

Clearly highly educated and a dignified, proud people, they are also gentle and sociable and accepting. I have learned so much from them, and I consider so many some of my closest friends. Knowing them and seeing the through line of how beautiful they are makes me want to go to Syria, learn Arabic, meet more, wish for peace, travel to work at refugee camps where I know they gravitate.....Really- they're amazing people.

    One lesson that has stuck with me from a friend from Saudi Arabia, is that the main cities, Riyadh, Damascus, even Aleppo, are much more culturally open and vibrant than is portrayed in our Western media. I think that your channel is a great example of that lovely message, so thank you.

    Dutch girl here. I am actually crying here and I don't cry easy.

How much can a human endure? These beautiful people deserve so much more! Their hearts are so pure. I love to visit Syria one day but sadly, even in 2023, it is not safe for a woman to travel alone to these regions.

      you must keep in mind that the syrian government won the civil war and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people, particularly sunnis or those against the government. some people never left syria, and it was those who stood by and supported the government who was committing atrocities at the time. many of the people you saw, and i note this also from the comments they made, are pro-government. there's another syria we don't see. one man in the clip said syria... muslim Christian jewish all welcome/ well, not really because the civil war happened for a reason and if you were anti gov, or sunni, you're still persecuted. just keep that in mind. peace :)

I remember in the early 90's when people from Sudan used to go for holiday in Syria and they come back with amazing stories about the beauty of Syria and its people. As Drew said, we look forward to a brighter future but someone needs to be held to account for the destruction of Syria.

War ignited due to rapid defence forces (which was formed by previous ousted president) and the army. From the outside it’s a rebellion but the reality is a regional struggle for influence over sudan. With loads of Arabs and African as well as eu, Russia and usa involved by proxy in some shape or form each after their own interest (but fronting human rights). The result is total destruction and civilians suffering.

It was sad to the aftermath of war, but coming from Croatia it was something we also went through. The people are the best, warm, hospitable, kind, humble, proud and respectful to all religions. I was also surprised to see people with red hair, so the Crusades were there. Safety, you will have a better change of getting in trouble in the USA, France, ... then in Syria. The exchange rate is crazy, but I would give them a bundle of money, they would count and return the change, never cheated. Hands off Syria, let them live in peace.

    Drew! You really inspire me to do exactly what you do. I would love to travel the world one day and experience these unique cultures. I sometimes get worried about potential danger, disease, and especially having the money to fund these trips but you show there’s ways to circumvent all of this. Thanks for making a positive change with your videos and getting a beautiful message out into the world!
