"Thank your mother for raising a good son" is such a beautiful compliment to Ammar and his family <3

[alisoncamm]

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!

[Alwayshumanworld]

Having Thomas and Ammar back traveling together is like a portal back to a simpler time! Thank you for the great content lately guys!

[profligatepassages]

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.

[ericmcloughlin]

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.

[Queenmoller]

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.

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

[OriginalSourceOG]

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

“love is the only thing that lasts”

I feel the same way, this woman is amazing

[egogiirl]

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!

[MegsCarpentry-lovedogs]

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.

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

[dhruvmadiraju]

"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

[ImbajuBoythst]

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.

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!' 🥂

[giorgipagava]

As a regular Georgian i want to thank you for getting interested about those hard time of our country❤
WE APPRECIATE IT

[jacobseal]

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.

[roundhouse]

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.
