This is one of those trips that was way too short and I knew from the beginning that it would be so (alas - not enough time in between a million different plans). It's also a slightly unusual episode, with a crew helping me film it. Next episode: the Mesopotamian marshes in Iraq, one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. See you next week 😁🙌

This to me is exactly what a travel video should be. When you demonstrate the humanity and culture honestly, it can only bring the world closer together...and we all need that. Thank you.

My heart melts seeing how this craftsman talks of his father. This is an emotion my heart resonates with. He did a gesture selling something made by his father. I keep quite few of my father's sculptures and wouldn't sell them for anything.

I sure hope to visit Iraq too. The people seem so friendly. Much respect from Denmark to Iraq and its people 🇮🇶🇩🇰

[Notsuper]

Im crying, im an iraqi but have never seen someone cover iraq with this much honesty and appreciation. Thank you Eva

I was in Iraq with my boyfriend in 1974. It took us forever to get a visa but we kept trying in every country as we travelled North Africa and the Middle East until finally an embassy accept us and we had visas. When we entered Iraq we saw 1 western business man that 1st day and then never saw another tourist fir the rest of the month we were there. It was a different time than now and definitely more prosperous for Iraqis. What a beautiful people they are. I recognize some of the art and buildings in your video, so thankful to be reminded of that journey

[tresahwang]

I am from Australia 🇦🇺 makes me so happy to watch this video to learn more about Iraqi people, and culture.

Thank you for sharing the richness of the Iraqi people and culture 👏🏾 👏🏾

I am excited to visit one day 🇮🇶 ❤️

[frank-ivo]

“Cradle of civilization” and those two great rivers- that is how exactly the textbooks told us about Mesopotamia’s contributions to international culture and history. So it was really heart- breaking that Iraq was, in relatively recent history, more read about due to wars and conflicts.
I hope the people of Iraq will be able to rebuild their nation back to its glory.
Inshallah.

That young carpenter woman at the end of the video impressed me so much! She's doing her own thing inspite of the difficult circumstances (and she has so much talent!). She's a real inspiration and a true lighthouse for her fellows. I wish her the best of luck for her dreams to come true! 🍀

[relaxinnature]

I am from Finland this is the first time for me seeing how Iraq looks like, and I am shocked! Every thing looks great and normal and the ppl are so friendly! I think we shouldn’t listen to the media! Much love from Finland ❤️

[TetrisN]

Wishing nothing but peace, economic prosperity and happiness to the people of Iraq from your neighbor Pakistan.

What I like most about Eva's vlogs is how she goes beneath the surface of the places and people she meets, in a way that is respectful and appreciative. I teared up when the coppersmith offered her a coffee pot his father had made. A gift or artisanship, history and deep personal connections.

[olfabouallegue]

Iraq the cradle of human history and civilization .. my dream to visit this beautiful country, one day inchallah !
Much love from Tunisia to Iraqi people ❤❤❤❤

[fatimahabunaji]

I remember when I was in intermediate school in history class the teacher used to say "Baghdad is a city of rising and falling through time" now, after watching your video I have grasped that meaning very well! Yes it's a city which is timeless, not only the city ruin and the historical places but the people themselves are full of amazing heritage. Thank you Eva.

[courtneywilt]

That interview with the female carpenter was amazing and shows that no matter the place in the world women are begining to change the game for themselves and that is really important. We need more brave, smart and determined women like her to stand up in this harsh world.

[danielazziptrips]

The last lady does an incredible job? She is so talented!! Super glad that people like her, who want a different path in life, can also be recognised! Thank you for sharing her story with us 😊

[tommorris]

Wow Eva, I'm totally blown away!! I had absolutely no idea Iraq was such a hidden treasure!!
Steeped in so much history and culture obviously, the Iraqi people have struggled for so many years with wars, terrorism and oppression, it has obviously taken its toll but they are slowly finding their feet.
Thank you for opening my eyes xx

[beefpares]

This changed my perspective towards baghdad. I saw so many smiles all over the video. After so many conflicts, people just wanted to be happy.

[Longhunter]

I spent 3 years in the Baghdad area. I loved my time there, made many Iraqi friends, and fell in love with the place.

[SeaCummins]

I ache for what Iraq has gone through and the sweetness of the people shown candidly here. I’m glad you had the camera crew.
