HOLY CRAP GUYS... I finally made it to Baghdad - the wild capital city of Iraq! It's a place that I've been dreaming of visiting for 5 years now, and I was luckily able to pick up the visa at the Iraqi embassy in Istanbul a few weeks ago.
In the first episode of this 9-part series, I document the stressful, yet exhilarating experience of getting into Baghdad with my fellow 'every country' buddy Alvaro ( Our first 24 hours has been a roller coaster of emotions, but in the end, I am LOVING it here and I can't wait to see more! ???????? Have I ever mentioned to you that the Middle East is my favorite region in the world?

Exploring IRAQ as an AMERICAN WOMAN: the TRUTH
In this video Chloe Jade Travels to Iraq as a solo female American traveler.
This video was recorded over a week of travel in December 2021.
Sadly, many people in the USA think that Iraq is a completely different reality than it is. The reason for this is partially because of our political history with the country, but also because of what has been portrayed in the media time and time again.
Although my footage is nothing similar to what I would film now, I really enjoyed sharing shorts of this trip. I hope I can somewhat relay the beauty of this country, and why everyone should visit Iraq if they get the chance.
The main video is about 40 minutes long, and there is an 18 minute Q&A at the end.
If you have other questions please leave them in the comments, I will try to answer as much as I can.
Thank you for watching ????

Inside SAMARRA, Iraq's Most DANGEROUS City! Not What We EXPECTED!
One of the hardest places to visit, SAMARRA! Multiple military checkpoints to leave the city of Iraq and then multiple checkpoints to enter the area of Saladin, all to see this unique invention, the Spiral Minaret. With no barriers or railings to precent you from falling off, the walk up is a tricky one, especially when the wind is HORRIFIC like it was for us today! On the way back we made friends with some members of the forces who really wanted a photo with us!

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. :)

SHOCKING World’s Largest Cemetery NAJAF ????????(You Won’t Believe This Is IRAQ)
Massive Thank YOU to our long term partner, SKYSCANNER!
Another great day exploring this beautiful country. Starting in the World's largest Cemetery which we have to admit is a strange way to start the morning, then we had our breakfast which we were not fans of, but we suppose you cannot like EVERYTHING! We then drove to the Ziggurat of Ur before spending the night in Nasiriyah!
