Itchy boots deserves some sort of world ambassador award for showing us that friendship and kindness exists everywhere.

[Sunny-knth]

This should be nominated as one of the best channels on YouTube

Hi Noraly, for almost 6 years you have shown us how beautiful our planet is and how nice the people are. For that I just want to say: Thank you very much 🙏

[Kratosss-et]

As an Iraqi who had to flee the country because of war. It breaks my heart to see those kind people are being controlled by unwanted people in power. No where in the world you will find the hospitality and kindness like those people. Thanks for showing this to the world

[filthefil]

I say we all, unanimously, declare Noraly as a world ambassador. I would've never seen the inside of Iraq if it werent for her.

[ladadiedada]

The only images I know from Iraq are from the war. Thank you for showing how beautiful this country and its people are ❤

[danrt]

First you blew us away with how beautiful Turkey was, now Iraq and its hospitality and friendly people. You are breaking down perceptions that we back in America have on that part of the world. Thank you.

[Dilbert]

This is the best travel channel on Youtube!

[malaudisa]

So nice to have an insider look at Iraq in such peaceful context, the hospitality and kindness of people is always so welcome and surprising.

[robertupchurch]

I can say for myself and I’m sure nearly all of your subscribers you take us on a journey to locations 99.99% of us will not have the opportunity to visit. Thank you so much!

[dlabor]

You pay back this hospitality by broadcasting their good deeds, warm hearts and the beauty of their country to the world.

Echt interressant om te zien hoe vriendelijk de mensen daar zijn en hoe mooi hun land is. Veilige reis verder Noraly

Iraqis and Kurds lovely people. I've met a lot of them. Their hospitality and friendliness is lovely to see. The west could learn a lot from their approach how to value life. Beautiful video.

Prachtig! Vorig jaar ben ik met mijn auto vanuit Koeweit naar Baghdad gereisd, ik ben het volledig met je eens wat betreft de gastvrijheid van het Iraakse volk. Wat een lieve mensen daar, zo ontzettend gastvrij, prachtige cultuur en schitterend land. Ik heb mij daar ook altijd volledig veilig gevoeld. Ik kan iedereen aanraden om dit mooie land te bezoeken!!!

[davidsmith]

I had to watch it all twice because once just wasn't enough. The channel that always puts a big smile on my face, even before I've watched anything. Noraly is the perfect antidote to all the bad news that engulfs us every day. No matter where she goes she sees the best in everything and everyone and nothing gets her down.

[sallylambert]

Thank you Noraly. Seeing the kindness of people is restoring my faith in humanity. As an American it has taken a beating lately.

We often get bad press about Iraq...so refreshing to see the charm of this country..

[Cornholio]

In 2018 I traveled in Kurdistan. I had the same experience with not being able to pay for my things, due to the lovely hospitality of the people. Its a amazing place to be and I cant wait to go back!! Never felt this welcomed in any country till this day!!

I and our peshmerga protected this monastery against isis. We protected many families that we rescued from Mosul area
