Spending 13 Days Alone in Syria (During the War)

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.

As a Syrian, I am glad that you also showed the good sites of a country where u only hear negative stuff about. For me it just felt like I was put back in my hometown and experiencing all the wonderful things u did 🎉❤

[alisalloum]

As a Syrian, I'm incredibly thankful for this video and all the kind comments. We need more people like you, who are willing to break the stereotypes and show the world how beautiful our country is. I hope your issue will be resolved and you will visit us again. There's a really good place that you missed which you should visit next time... that's the countryside of lattakia and specifically Mashqita. Absolutely breathtaking landscapes that you couldn't even imagine

I’m Somalian, me and my siblings grew in Syria very early 90’s till 2006, it’s not new to me the generosity and kindness of Syrians people, that’s how they treat everyone regardless of their ethnicity or religion.

[katie-kbqd]

i’ve been interested in Syria because of my GI doctor. He was born in Syria. He basically saved my life twice, and the respect I have for him is insane

[frankhollidiaz]

My heart goes out to the Syrian people. Prayers for Syria💜💜💜🇸🇾

[dhistiratira]

[thijndeveer]

As a European it breaks my heart to see how sweet and giving these people are, sharing their homes food and culture with him. And when they lost everything and sought refuge in our countries we never gave them anything and demonised them. I'm so sorry for our lack of humanity...

I am from Jordan, we are the neighboring country of Syria ..
Syria has been an escaping destination for us Jordanians .. most people in Jordan would spend there weekends in Syria as it’s extremely affordable and with great tourism sites and best food . Syria is a welcoming country with so many different people and backgrounds living in harmony.. the sea, the mountains and the old cities, Syria is the source of history.. we in Jordan hope Syria comes back stronger and safer than before because it has the potentials

[TRIPNADZOR]

This is a country that has become synonymous with "pain" and "terrorists" in recent years. But is she really like that? And by the way, Syrians are so much like us. I also made a short video about Syria. I would be grateful if you would express your opinion about him.

[ADMG]

Im syrian and im happy that somone like you have finally recognized us!.The world needs more people like drew binsky

[Gooner]

Drew, I watched this video this afternoon and I can't thank you enough. I feel like my eyes have been opened, I learned so much. I felt quite emotional afterwards. 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.

Lived in Aleppo for four years...four of the happiest of my life. Those smiling, inviting faces seem so familiar. Thanks so much for sharing this video.

[Ganplas]

Balling my eyes out. Every time I see a Syrian smile in this video it makes me so happy for them, yet also so sad. I hope I can visit soon. What an amazing country

[piersp]

As Italian, I am so Happy to see people restarting to live a decent life after all they lived in the past. My biggest wishes of peace to the syrian people

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.
#ReBuildSyria ❤️

I recently just got back on a 3 week adventure of Syria. It blew my mind. I was born in Australia and went to Syria to see what it has to offer. I can honestly say that this holiday was one of the best that I have ever had. Can’t wait to see you again SYRIA. I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH !!!! ❤❤❤

[VLujo]

I've been everywhere, BUT Syria was one of the best country in the world. I was there last year in 2023. 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.

[sophiaisabelle]

Somehow Drew manages to keep us up to date with his life and travels. More blessings to him.

I’m not a Syrian but this video, story of resilience brings me to tears.
It’s true indeed nobody wins in war.
