Thanks for being on this journey with us in discovering more of the untold places & human stories around the world! We love & appreciate you all!
You deserve min. 25 million sub
russia is a terrroris state
I got so excited when I saw this video pop up. It's really funny that years ago walking down some street in Venice and ran into Ammar, and now I finally see you guys exploring my country.
After seeing you guys starting to travel a lot, I thought many times about reaching out to offer some snippets of stories unique to Georgia, because there are indeed so many niches of life to explore there. So, I'm glad you found your way there eventually. I wish I was there at the moment to say hello, but my next trip home is a month away.
I hope you explore more. Keep in mind though that the more you inquire about the state of modern Georgia, the more you will hear takes motivated by certain internal agendas. I hope you'll be able to dodge that and get as pure of an experience as possible. But our past is something that unites everyone there and you'll almost certainly hear true and genuine stories about it, similar to those of the woman in this video.
I doubt you see this comment but if you need any advice on the place or any help piecing together the big picture of our story, please feel free to reach out. Whatever I wouldn't be able to help you with, I could at least direct you to someone who can.
Hello, Im from Georgia, i wanted to meet u so much, if u are still in Georgia please meet
Thanks for sharing!
"Thank your mother for raising a good son" is such a beautiful compliment to Ammar and his family
You can feel that woman's love through her words, even after everything she's been through, It's inspiring. Thank you for listening to her and sharing it with all of us 💖
I am from Georgia and I am proud that one of the best channels in my opinion has been in Georgia and recorded this amazing video! thanks!
I want to mention that Georgia is more than this!
რანაერად წარმოაჩინეს საქართველო , გეგონება საილენთ ჰილია . მუსიკა ადევს თავი მეგონა საშინელებათა ფილმში არადა წყალტუბოა რა )))
Where are you from again?
@@Deme_Demetre 😂. Yeah I guess to a viewer with no knowledge of this place it might seem like the land is abandoned. But they point out many times it is a small chunk of land in the vast populated country. Most viewers will understand this is like an abandoned park tied to a countries history.
Can confirm as an American who visited Georgia that Georgian culture, hospitality, and life is amazing!
Georgia w
Having Thomas and Ammar back traveling together is like a portal back to a simpler time! Thank you for the great content lately guys!
He is just 24 Years old. He looks and voices himself as if he is double that age! Amazing video and amazing human I hope the best for him.
I could not believe he was 24.
Yeah such a nice genuine seeming guy
The woman living in the abandoned building is the epitome of a good and faithful servant. I pray she gets to return to her home. She also gave Ammar’s mother the ultimate compliment. Amazing woman.
Thank you Ammar for coming back to Yes Theory Adventures, we miss the dynamic between you and Thomas. It is so special to have the original Yes Theory Crew
That woman seemed like just such a good, pure soul. So thankful for everything, even though it wasn’t a lot. And so quick to open her home to strangers and make them feel comfortable.
I hope she is still doing well.
The interview with the old lady was amazing. It is people who have survived war who are the most compassionate and kind and always advocate for love and peace. They understand the pain. Thanks for telling her story.
BTW please bring back your black Love Over Fear hoodie with the flowers and vines on the sleeves! I missed getting one before and now it's off the Seek Discomfort site
“love is the only thing that lasts”
I feel the same way, this woman is amazing
I'm from Sweden, born in the 90's and I guess pretty privileged for growing up where I did. I really appreciate when you visit these places in Europe and tell us more about these forgotten places that's such a huge part about our history. I wish we had learnt more about this and Sovjet in school, since it's so close to us. Please, keep telling us about Eastern Europe, it's very interesting and eye opening. Thank you!
during World War II, Sweden was the main supplier of iron ore to the Third Reich, In addition, military supplies of the German army were passing through Sweden, Swedish intelligence actively cooperated with German intelligence, and thousands of Swedish volunteers fought in the Wehrmacht, SS and Finnish army
@@ushkizaiki9859 Good for Sweden
I visited Georgia (including Tskaltubo) in 2022, and it remains the most amazing country I've ever seen. The people are incredibly warm, the atmosphere is so honest, the history is rich, and the food is to die for. Hoping YT will do a video on Gori next.....
I am also planning to visit this country on study basis so IS LANGUAGE A BARRIER INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE AS I ONLY KNOW ENGLISH .
@@harisharma1749 not in the cities. If you're in the villages you won't find much English but Tbilisi, Gori, Kutaisi, Batumi, Borjomi, etc you can definitely be fine with just English
I've been to Georgia last year and met hospitable people. While hiking through the forests in the small town of Lagodekhi, I was invited by a group of friends to a wine party where I was camping. It is worth noting the way Georgians do their toast (whether it's wine or chacha) and that culture is evident in this video. Each time we raised our glasses, they would recite a (usually lengthy) heartfelt gratitude or dedication for life, friendship, guests, and many aspects of life. 'Gaumarjos!' 🥂
My grandmother's caretakers are both Georgian women who immigrated to the US. They are two of the nicest most thoughtful people I've ever met. They are with her 7 days a week but also have their own families to take care of. It takes incredible strength to be able to move to another country for the goal of the battement of one's own family and give up so much. They have made me want to visit Georgia and said they will take good care of me when I do! Also, Georgia is the birthplace of wine, so if you partake, please try yourself a nice Georgian red wine. You will not regret it.
As a regular Georgian i want to thank you for getting interested about those hard time of our country❤
WE APPRECIATE IT
Omg. That moment between Ammar and the older woman was incredible. And here is my normal ask for larger sizes on your merch when you drop new ones. Please be inclusive of your entire community. 😢
Agreed, their sizes don't go big enough, for sure. And I thought being guys that make guys clothing it would be bigger but it's not!
Whoosh! The beauty of the lady who lived in the abandoned building. Also tearful from the love that radiated from her being. Thank you from Atlantic Canada, province of Prince Edward Island.
atlantic yes fam 🙌 NS here
"To love each other and care for each other, and through that the power above will know we're not all bad". Unbelievably moving. Thank you guys as always for shining light on what binds us together over what keeps us apart
After your mentions, so many viewers came to our channel!Thank you for your generosity! ❤
I there’s something Eerie seeing how much was spent on this just for it to become a ghost house with shards and memories of the past.
Neat.
I cried seeing Ammar cry listening to the wonderful woman speak, even though he didn't understand a word, the love she embodies and radiates touched his heart and that was so beautiful to witness. What Ammar said about blaming the environment when we are a part of the environment, and blaming the society even though we are society was so powerful, it really punched me in the gut. Thank you so much Yes Theory, y'all so damn impactful
Omg, I have been there! I went all alone to this place back in 2022. Took the bus and went exploring. I was a bit scared. But I am so glad I went!
At one of the abandoned houses people lived there, they invited me in and gave me tea and fruit. They couldn't speak English and I can't speak Russian or Georgian. But they were nice!
Perfect example. He was loved. It shows. He had a good childhood.
Amazing. I am in tears after watching that lady speak about love one another, love is all yhat matters. I am jealous of your interaction with each and every person you show here. This is my motivation as i use disc golf as my medium to do the same thing in Africa. Love you guys! Hope tonmeet one day, maybe even work together some how.
its the people that go through the most that understand the most. That lady is the perfect example of that
As Georgian, thanks for sharing our story in such a beautiful way, I’m crying rn. We can’t wait to see you back 🇬🇪
The first thing I said is look at how Ammar looks at her with so much passion and they just met their souls definitely knew each other in another life.
I saw the title and was like: yeah, you should come to Georgia. Got immediate chills once I realized this actually was about my country. I've been watching this channel for awhile now and never have I ever imagined you guys coming here. Thank you for showing interest and hope to see more videos from Georgia.
20% of Georgia is still to this day occupied by Russia.
The GOATS of production, editing, journalism! Keep it up!
I absolutely love Georgia. I was lucky enough to spend 2 months there last year. I hope that you do more videos there. To anyone who is unfamiliar with the country, its not a desolate wasteland. There is great natural beauty and modern cities. Amazing and ancient wine culture and incredible cuisine. I only just scratched the surface but the history there is also amazing. There could be an entire series of videos about Georgia alone.
My mother is Georgian, but I've grown up in America, speaking English as my primary language, and although I have a love for Georgia as if it is my home country, I go there every summer after all and all my family is there, but I am insecure with how 'Georgian' I really am. I don't look very Georgian, I don't speak it very well, and I feel like to 'real' Georgians, I'm just a foreigner.
Either way though, I have been waiting for a Yes Theory video in Georgia for as long as I've watched you guys, and I was very excited to see this. I must admit though, that when I saw what it was on, I was a little disappointed, as there is so much more you can talk about and see in Georgia other than Tskaltubo. The people, the hospitality, that's what makes Georgia, Georgia.
I was so relieved to see Thomas acknowledge the occupied territories, (I'd love to see you guys see more about it), and I was touched by your conversation with the Georgian Bebo (grandmother). I could understand everything she said (which isn't always the case for Georgian, but sometimes), and the way she talked and was hospitable, reminded me of all the Georgian Bebos I've known. Including my own.
But sadly, the day this came out, 3/30, I lost my grandmother, my Georgian Bebo. Coincidentally, she was from the west side, near Tskaltubo. The conversation made me tear up. Not only because she reminded me of my own Bebo, but it also reassured me that I am Georgian. I have experienced this world. I'm Georgian to my family, to the Georgians I know, and that's what matters. But honestly, even that doesn't matter, because as long as I matter to them, who cares what I am. This was a very important realization for me, and I thank you.
Hopefully you come back to Georgia, every Georgian will agree there's a lot more stories to be told there.
მიყვარხარ ბებო
Thats so cool. I’m also georgian, but from the state
My grandma passed away next day when we filmed it
Big Love from Georgia. I"'m sure you liked our astonishing country. It has one of the best histories, culture, cuisine, and beautiful landmarks which is worth seeing. ❤
its amazing how someone who i only understand via subtitles, could emit such strong emotions purely by body language. That lady has a heart of gold, and this world would be far better if everyone had the same love for everyone she has
A head full of fear has no space for dreams is seriously the coolest quote to date please continue to promote thay
I just turned 40 and I would love to get out of my shell and do something like this, unfortunately anxiety and separation issues I have from leaving my house keeps me inside most times! I so wish I could go on an adventure before it's too late! I know this wouldn't have been possible for me 10 years ago as I weighted 325lbs but I lost over 100 pounds and I truly wish i could get back to my old self :) Love your channel and I have been watching you here From Moncton NB Canada and wish the world was bigger for myself and my family!
As a Georgian, I want to thank each of you for telling this story. It means a lot to me to watch this video because I know that I am a part of it all.
this lovely lady‘s message to the world made me tear up🥺
may she live long, healthy and in peace and hopefully get to go back to her home❤
Ammar you are such a good soul it burns through your eyes and your presence, you don't even understand the language but you got her feeling, very touching. .. I'm only new to Yes Theory but I have binged so much, and absolutely love your content and what you guys do. All of you do your parents proud. ❤
When she said it felt like she knew Ammar for a long time, that really touched me. What a beautiful moment of deep human connection!
I am from Georgia, I am very happy, that you guys visited our country, there is a lot more to it, you can come back anytime and show real face of Georgia, this is more like an soviet side of it. Georgia is a country of history, obedient to God, which you can confirm by many Churches ☦️, that are here and most importantly very guest loving 🇬🇪 I would suggest checking "Tbilisi" out, it is our capital and by the older part of it, you can see the combination of history and modernity. Thank you so much again, I would be glad to see you here again!
i’ve been a part of the Yes Fam for so many years now and as a Georgian having you here makes me so so so happy 🥹❤️ ive been manifesting this moment for so long!! Thank you so much for shining a light on my beautiful country and sharing our story!
I hope that kind woman will have all her needs, and someone that also will take care of her
I visited Georgia 10 years ago to visit family friends for two weeks. I have known people from Georgia my entire life. I haven't made it back yet, but I really want to go back soon. It is truly one of the most incredible places I have ever been and one of the strongest countries in the world. I love them so much, they are the kindest people you will ever meet, and I am so excited for the future of Georgia.
I lived in nearby Kutaisi for a year and have been to Tskaltubo a few times. Very interesting places with so many abandoned buildings. Touching interview with the Abkhazian lady too.. Funny, i met Lucas a few times during my stay. Weird to see someone you know on a big YT channel :) Georgia is a very nice and beautiful country. Definitely worth a visit! Lovely people as well.
Finally, finally, finally!!! I am from Georgia and been following you guys since 2016 and I'm so happy to see you guys finally discovering and visiting our small country. What a wonderful first trip & video here, I hope to catch you around here next time Yes Theory! ❤
I don't think I've ever been this early, but I'm not gonna complain .
My parents were born during the Soviet era. My parents still miss the times because life was a lot more simpler with less things to worry about it. My mom was studying in university and my dad was a watch maker. Wish I could go back in time just see how it really was with my own 2 eyes. The architecture looks so classic and unique. The people from those times seem very genuine and realistic.
What that granny told everyone is eternal principle and main one: "love" and not fake one real love when you care for yourself not egocentrically but so you could help others. Of course if another person steps on your comfort zone you must give in and help them as a lot of people are doing that around the world. Everyone keep cultivating love.
I love all the elderly people shows on your videos because they are so kind and their stories hold a lot of value.
What a beautiful message from the sweet old lady. I hope she sees her home in her lifetime.
Guys I'm Georgian, i watch your videos for like 6 years and just imagined meeting you in my country 😄 that would be fun 😄
Shoutout to all the editors involved in the production! Very very noticeable highlights in the edit!
I've never heard spoken Georgian before, and oh wow, it sounds so pleasant to my ears.
I was born in Abkhazia 3 years before the war and my family, unfortunately, was a witness to the awful ethnic cleansing that went down. In 1992 of the Abkhazian people and then in 1993 of the Georgian people. We weren’t targeted because we were neither nationality, but had many friends from both sides. So we helped each targeted side escape until our own escape out of the country.
Watching this video brought back so many memories of when I got to finally visit Abkhazia in 2011. With trees and greenery growing through government buildings and the many that were abandoned due to the war. Thank you for an amazing video and the incredibly touching interview with the lady from Abkhazia.
As I long time viewer of the channel and a fellow Georgian, who's been in many countries you guys have visited, this video brings joy to my heart. Glad you guys were here, and hope you liked your stay ^_^
A few years back, my mother went on a guided trip to Armenia and Georgia. She loved Georgia and its people so much that she travelled back three weeks after her return and stayed for several weeks. She’s been literally all around the world but she thought Georgia had something special. She specifically mentioned the warmth of the people and the feeling of safety as a 70-year old woman out an about on her own.
That old lady is so strong 😢❤
Whenever I watch your videos, I am always reminded that no matter the differences between us (languague, ethnicty) we are all human beings. Seeing Ammar cry was such a beautiful reminder of the fact that we can connect on much deeper level than through words.
Omg you were in my country!! 😭 Can't wait to watch this!
I loved it!!! Please come back! we can find more stories for you 😁
Love the old duo getting back for a trip like this, you guys are so inspiring with every story, even though I am watching my mind gets in deep thoughts throughout everything that is happening within the videos, I can't wait to see more for this year!
Yes theory you guys are doing something so different. It gives me goosebumps just watching the videos. Appreciate you guys going out to these places and giving us the ground reality. Love you guys
I love Saturdays ❤️ The idea of choosing peace and love for every person on Earth is quickly approaching! Like usual, ya hit it outta the park again!
absolutely amazing episodes guys, such a story to behold and seeing the woman still holding on to something she loved is so sweet.
I am a Georgian. Thanks guys. I'm sure you enjoyed the food, music, people, and also the bright and glomorous side of this wonderful country.
"Love is the only thing that lasts" that old lady said and I really like it. I actually agree with her and I loved what she stated as a woman who witnessed the war. I also wanna say that history was never as enjoyable as today, this is the first time I wach something about history and not feeling bored. Thank you guys for the good energy that you share❤.
This is a better video then in a while (getting back to the roots of exploring/actually going outside of your comfort bubble) thank you
OMG! Guys, this is one of your most outstanding work! So interesting (I’m a huge fan of USSR history), so well-researched, so cinematic! I’m always in awe of your videos, but is one is truly exceptional! Congratulations! Yes Theory for life 🥹❤️
Amazing work. Thank you so much for telling their story! Georgia has my heart. Lived there for 6 years!
I just went to Georgia for my first time. I was blown away by the country by far the most underrated country I've been too and will return again
I cannot believe you were in Georgia and I missed the chance to meet you. I’m such a fan. 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪 Hope you enjoyed Georgia !
I can
The tickets that were assigned to the people were free vacations for a whole month. Thomas, you are telling it as if it were a bad thing. On the contrary, the country cared for its people, so it made sure that the people, the backbone of progress, were rested and restored for another year of work. My grandparents went on vacation to the Black Sea free of charge because their companies took care of the workers. I loved joining my grandparents on their vacations.
Really love it when they bond with local people they're meeting for the first time. It's just so heartwarming! All the people they portray in their videos are So wholesome people❤
Much love to the Grandma :) Hope I'll meet her someday
Thank you for telling the truth in a authentic and genuine way. It speaks volumes of your guys character.
I am amazed by the stories you upload every time. I have been a fan since the pandemic started. I am shocked that the story for this week is about Georgia because Georgians are really kind and always welcoming. My girlfriend is from Georgia, and I wish I could travel with you to see her and check out this amazing abandoned resort. I am amazed by Georgians, even though I am Filipino. I am always really inspired by your Yes Theory tagline "Seek Discomfort." Thank you so much sharing this wonderful story 🥰
❤ Great episode guys!
Greetings from Greece (his mother came here to work)
And Also "thank your mother for raising a good son"❤
Yall are the reason I believe there is still good people in this world, thank yall
Where oh where do you find these people? Lucas is just so sweet!!! And the lady. Wow. Warms my heart. And Ammar is back with the love.
Great video, once more; so uplifting. Thanks for bringing us the world!
Wow, you are in Georgia. It is amazing and hope to see more videos from Georgia. 🇬🇪 🇬🇪 🇬🇪 🇬🇪 🇬🇪
The story was well told. Thank you. Love from Georgia!
Omgg I've been waiting for yestheory to come to Georgia for the last 5 years and finally you guys are here 🥹 It's a beautiful country with a lot of history and nature🇬🇪 I hope you will enjoy my country!! Much love ❤️
We recently had a trip to Georgia and Armenia from earlier this March, I would say that its one of the best places I’ve been to. Georgia is so beautiful and full of stories and history. I wish I could go back. 😌
I love your videos and the positive attitude you promote. Also being 75 your treatment of elder people is commendable. I live on the Oregon coast.
Man wheres the episode were you guys bring all the amazing older people youve talked to together. These guys have been through war losing everything. Think about the happiness and bridges you could cross bringing all these like minded people together to talk and let everyone see what can happen with everlasting hope and just being good people!
NO CUZ WHY AM I LITERALLY CRYING?! I've been waiting for Georgia episode for so long! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Such a great encounter with a lovely woman. She's got a heart of gold.
Thank you from Georgia. I absolutely didn't expect you to visit.
It’s incredible that every one of these incredible journeys is guided by a yes fam member from that region. Really goes to show you that The Yes fam is a global movement even in places you would not expect, glad I get to be apart of this amazing social family ❤️
amar kissing that woman's hand made me tear up. so much respect for Arab culture.
omg i visited tskaltubo and the spas in october 2023 really beautiful
You guys never fail with your content. Amazing. Thank you all.
YESTheory you inspire so many people to do so many things, thank you I wish one day I will travel and have a hint of travel experience yous have. Thank you on behalf every viewer on here
It must be so hard to meet these sweet people. I would be going back to these places to visit them. So many kind humans.
It's channels like this that help with my wanderlust along with my want to urban explore.
Thank you all for being amazing. One day hope to give y’all a hug and say hi.
Thank you for this upload too!
Absoluely amazing Gentlemen, what a crazy place. Much love to all from Australia, Peter.
As someone who has always loved to go to abandoned places and take beauty people.....this place....WOW.. it's amazin. !!!!!!
Thanks for sharing this!! ❤
You guys show how all over the world we all want the same thing! Love & peace! 🫶✌️
All of this videos are very informative.Before watching this channel videos i found that learning English is quite hard but after watching this channel videos i feel confident about learning English and also about my life.❤ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
