My trip to Syria was one of the most eye-opening journeys I've ever made. It was tough to reconcile my awareness of the recent tragic conflict in the country, with the beauty and positivity I experienced there... But certainly, the people of Damascus MADE my visit. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me there with open arms.

  • I'm crying because despite the fact that the economy in Syria is still recovering, the bread maker and the ice cream shop owner didn't let you pay. Thank you so much for letting us come along this journey.

    As a Syrian, I would like to thank you for soo many things. First of all thank you for using the term crisis instead of civil war. 2nd thank for your courage that lead you to take a trip like this one and see the beauty of Damascus for your own eyes, despite all the trouble surrounding it. Damascus only reflects the beauty of its visitors, if you can see and appreciate its beauty, then you are a beautiful person yourself, thats what I believe. Thank you for appreciating those simple gifts, it shows what a kind hearted person you are. Finally as a hardcore party animal, I’m a bit sad you didn’t show night life in damascus :p. It too has a tase of its own. Also, rest assured you are always welcome, you have got yourself another home. Greetings

I haven't been in Syria since I was 9 years old and now I’m 20 years old now. Thank you so much for showing people the real Syria ❤️❤️❤️❤️ when you talked about bakdash ice cream I cried and remembered when I was eating it in my childhood 😭

    I was born in Damascus,, My family immigrated to the USA in 1986,,I was 16 years old then. so I've been living in The US since 86 ( 34 Years ) and let me tell you,if I could push a button right now that would take me back to the moment I boarded the plane to come here I would step right off of that plane and Stay in Syria. I was too young to realize that I was born in one of the Greatest countries in the world. I miss you Syria <3

    As a Syrian, I would like to thank you so much for opening people's eyes to our Syria. I really wish I get back to Syria asap, it's been almost two years and I really wish every day to go back there, despite all the circumstances.
