Simply incredible!
This was, without question, one of the best experiences that I've had in my extensive travels around the world!
The Kurdish people are the warmest, friendliest, and most open people I have met.
Is it safe to travel to Iraqi Kurdistan?
This is a commonly asked question, especially because Iraq is often viewed as one of the most dangerous countries in the world, however, it's important to note the difference between Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan.
Iraqi Kurdistan is a semi-autonomous region in Northern Iraq, and is much safer than the rest of the country. The travel blog, Against The Compass, provides a great write-up on the safety of Iraqi Kurdistan, and an excellent guide to traveling the country in general.
Further information, along with many other frequently asked questions, can be found in the FAQs section.
