Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” & finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left home January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling! So we extended our 1 year trip to now FOUR years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before 2020! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)

#kurdistan #iraq #erbil

In this first episode, we will be exploring the capital city o, Erbil, the Rawanduz gorge, Gali Ali Bag, and some other waterfalls and we will taste some delicious Kurdish dishes.

In the next episode, we will be talking about the atrocities of the Islamic state ISIS,
about the sad history of the Kurds under Saddam Hussein
and we will dive into the spirituality of the region- we will be visiting ancient Assyrian and Chaldean monasteries
and Lalish- the holy place of the Yazidis- the worshipers of the 7 angels.
