______________________
In honor of March 23rd, also known as Pakistan Day, I've put together this video detailing and showcasing my journey and travels in Pakistan, and how this country became my home.
As a foreigner in Pakistan, I never take for granted how friendly and respectful locals are, and in this Pakistan travel video you'll get to see a glimpse of some pure Pakistani hospitality as well as various clips and moments from my travels to every province and territory.
It's the planet's most underrated adventure travel destination, with some of the most stunning trails in the world in both Gilgit Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Plus: equally empty historical sites that date back to the very beginning of modern humanity, and a variety of cuisines that I couldn't be happier with as a self-proclaimed foodie.
Follow along as you see EXACTLY how Pakistan changed my life since my very first visit back in 2019, because oh how it has ❤️
Pakistan Zindabad and bohot shurkria (thank you) for watching y'all! 🇵🇰
______________________
I have been traveling in Pakistan since April 2021, and my first visit to the country was a four-month trip back in 2019. I'm a travel blogger and writer and now will share my adventures via video too!
Subscribe for weekly Pakistan travel vlogs, Pakistan movies, and Pakistan food vlogs where I'll discuss Pakistani cuisine and culture. I'll also share my reactions of Pakistan, whether Pakistan is safe, what it's like being a female traveler in Pakistan, an American in Pakistan, a Foreigner in Pakistan and share Pakistani food and Pakistan market tours.
I've been truly blessed with extreme amounts of Pakistani hospitality and the reason I love this country is because of Pakistani people themselves. Expect vlogs from all over the country including Sindh, Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Chitral, Hunza Valley, Gilgit Baltistan, and more! I'll also get into living in Pakistan, things to do in Pakistan, and the best places to visit in Pakistan!

SALLAHU ALAYHI WASALAM
My wife and I visited for the first time last summer. Amazing Lahore, Peshawar, Islamabad and Muree. Samantha says in Pakistan "as a foreigner you are welcomed as an honoured guest". Captures the culture PERFECTLY. Beautiful people.
So glad you and your wife also got to experience the amazing reality of Pakistan! The reputation is comical after spending even an hour here!
@@SamanthaTaylorTravels Less than one hour. On arrival at Lahore I had not printed out the correct visa document. I was quickly gestured to a booth where a lovely young man with a printer printed it out for me. We ended up in two TH-cam videos and interviewed for TV in Muree. We've travelled a bit and ironically it is the places you are advised not to go to that feel by far the safest by a long way especially for women. Thanks for your videos.
@@divingfree That's amazing, I'm so glad y'all had that incredible experience! I totally agree with you on that! And usually all those warning are from people who have never been to the places they're talking about! Thank you for watching!
Love from Pakistan
Karachi?
I'm from Manchester, UK. Many friends over the years invited me to take a trip to Pakistan and I never went but last year I took the plunge and WOW. Literally the best holiday of my life. I can honestly say that I wanted to stay there. 1 country that I am planning to go back to.
As a fellow foreigner from Sudan 🇸🇩, I completely understand how transformative travel experiences can be. It's wonderful to hear that Pakistan😍🇵🇰 had such a positive impact on your life. I myself have also had the pleasure of visiting Pakistan and was struck by the warmth and hospitality of the people there. It's a beautiful country❤️ with so much to offer, and I'm glad that you were able to experience it firsthand. Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring others to visit Pakistan."🇵🇰
Thank you so much for your comment! So glad you also had a good experience here ❤️ I would LOVE to come to Sudan, I really hope I can someday. Have heard similarly amazing experiences from travelers 🤩
Praying for Sudan ....Allah bless on our Sudani brothers
@@imrananjum4295 thank you so much bro ❤️ May Allah bless you 🌹

It's a beauty of Pakistan love from Russia
My wife is from Pakistan . This is how I also fell in love with the country too . Thank you for showing the beauty of Pakistan . A beautiful country with beautiful people .
You look Karachi
MashaAllah❤ Love From India 🇮🇳❣🇮🇳
Wish all Indias become like you 🙃...
I am saying that coz now a if I comment “Love from Pakistan” in this comment section of any Indian TH-camr, About 90/100 replies I receive from India is just ”Aata chiya? 😂” (need some weet?), “Lots of wheat🌾 from you dad India” & a lot more negative comments like that in which they are just mocking & making fun of Pakistan 💔💔🫠
Just because of bad economic condition of Pakistan 💔😮💨
@@MAD_MONSTER The Guy is Indian Muslim you can expect brotherhood from them The Internet Hindus aka B'akhts are the real problem
@@MAD_MONSTER bhai ap bol dia kro beef chahye 😂
@@MAD_MONSTER Pakistan is better than India in quality of life, happiness index, hdi, hunger index,crime rates,rape cases
@@MAD_MONSTER Ignore the comments or just tell them no need for atta plenty of beef. These baniyas BCs don't forget that their country too went through turbulent times before their economic liberalisation in the early 90s
I live in London now, but when i was a kid we did some trips to Northern areas, absolutely magical and adventurous. Most welcoming and hospitable people
Absolutely! Must have been even more serene and peaceful back then. The people are truly as amazing as they seem!
@@SamanthaTaylorTravels You are spot on, My parents would take me there, this year i will take my boys there inshallah
Imagine everyone telling you not to go to a country only for you to go there and meet your soul mate. Thats the reason you have to be open to possibilities. I am so glad you came here and met fareed. May you both have happy life.
That's so real and true I think about that often! The timing was so precise too, I truly believe it was fate! Thanks for the support 🙌
Love from Pakistan plzz be my guest in Lahore 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am from India and as an Indian I want to see peaceful relationship between the two countries. But just due to some border disputes and The shity political ideologies that exists in both the countries; it now seems impossible 😭.
Lots of love from India❤️
I completely agree! I spent 4 months in India and enjoyed it so much, I so wish it was a peaceful friendly border like Thailand and Cambodia or something 😞 we can only dream for now… thanks for the support!
Pakistan is beautiful!! The people are wonderful with huge hearts. Thank you Pakistan.
Welcome
I smiled ALL the way through this, likely making others in my work environment wonder what I was up to. Lol. Such a great video! Before watching your vlogs I never considered traveling to Pakistan, but it has since become my dream to do so. ❤
😍😍😍😍 I love this so much and of course, thank you! It would be so iconic to meet you here and I hope that happens and you get to see Pakistan!
You will never get the hospitality anywhere in the world like the Pakistanis their an amazing and beautiful hearted ppl xx

Glad you’re enjoying Pakistan, loving our country and a great thanks to you for spreading the true and beautiful reality of Pakistan. Have a great travel and journey ahead ❤🇵🇰
Yes indeed Pakistan changed your life now you will definitely recruited for the jihad group which destroy usa and other western nations 😂😂😂😂
Going to Pakistan to learn how to ski has got to be the most awesome talking point while in Aspen Co...lol. Loved it. Great video, thanks...
LOL it really isn't a lie! I genuinely was terrified of skiing my whole life, my family never skiied, and this was my first opportunity 😂
Pakistan is going down srilanka path. I.e bankruptcy. I will visit Pakistan once economic and political stability returns
@@SamanthaTaylorTravels that's great, you overcame your fear and that's what counts. I, on the other hand, have a fear of heights. I tried to overcome it by going hang gliding and I'll never do it again. Pakistan seems like a great place for hang gliding though.
@@sterlinggrey1899 We do get quite a lot of them in the summer up here! How was that experience? It seems like something I'd love i theory but I'd also be very very scared! Same with paragliding.
@@SamanthaTaylorTravels well the thing with hang gliding is that it's an equipment based activity, just like skiing. And with anything utilizing equipment you have to know the equipment. Start off at small hills know the hang glider and move up higher. See the thing is I didn't know the equipment, friends said lets go hang gliding so I did. And even with that said, I did enjoy it a different perspective from up there, I won't do it again because I'm one of those males that does things, then reads the instruction manual to figure out what I did wrong.
Greetings from Canada ! My family moved to Canada in the 70s from Lahore Pakistan, we had some great memories when we lived there . I hope to visit again in the near future . The mainstream media should not be trusted, you need to experience it yourself .
Wellcome to Pakistan
Welcome to the country of great hospitality and wonders. welcome to Pakistan ❤
Proud to be Muslim ♥️🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Yes
I spent all of July 2023 in Northern Pakistan and loved it. Undoubtedly the friendliest people I’ve ever encountered in the twenty five counties I’ve visited. And the natural wonder blew my mind.
That’s amazing! So glad to hear you also see what I see. July is the absolute best time up here for weather 😍
It's May ,July will come after two months,ok.
@@shahidmehmood7944 I should have written July 2022.
@@didittraveller1260 don't bother ,such things does happen by every one cheers ,bst wshs
Samantha, what can I say but I'm absolutely enchanted with your Vlogs about the country of my birth (I'm an Ex-pat in the UK since 1966). I'm so very glad that you have wonderful and positive things to say about Pakistan (and I love that you pronounce it correctly too). Yes Pakistan has issues but that will get better in time once the current corrupt ruling mafia has been dispatched by the loyal public who are wholeheartedly behind Imran Khan. he is the saviour of our blessed land and he will strive to make Pakistan great and an exceptional place for the people and for tourists. It is a gem of a country with so much potential and natural resources and highly capable educated citizens who will get behind in improving Pakistan no end. Also, I'd like to congratulate you on finding your life partner and hope that you're both blessed with love, happiness, health, and success. Mashallah and Ramadan Mubarak to you and yours. :)
Thank you so much for this comment! I laughed at the pronunciation line, I do make sure I always do and not the American way haha! I totally agree, Imran Khan has done absolutely incredible things for tourism. Before it cost over $300 total and involved sending all paper work by mail for Americans, and it was he who implemented the online evisa system that made the process a lot easier and allowed foreigners to stay and enjoy longer. He truly revived tourism! Ramadan Mubarak to you and your family and thanks for watching 🙌
I'm a Pakistani and i live in karachi. For me there's no better feeling when i see foreigners (which you are not:) praise Pakistan in any way or when i hear something good about Pakistan through international or non Pakistani media.
We Pakistanis have made our peace with it, the way most of the world sees/perceives us and this is one of our finest qualities i.e to not care much or you can call it selective omission of dedicated consideration lol but it still feels good tho... Being recognized . Thank you Samantha, wishing you a great, wondrous life ahead.❤
Great love from Turkiye. I traveled Pakistan many times. Pakistani are so hospitable and country is so nice.
most well come again& Again our turkish bro's & Sister's
You are always welcome in Pakistan. Turkish peoples are our family. Everyone loves Turkish in Pakistan
Love from Qatar 🇶🇦 🇵🇰

Thank you for the video on Pakistan!
I had a very bad image of people from the US until I met this beautiful and kind lady from Illinois. She kinda changed my perspective for the US. We're good friends now. I invited her to visit Pakistan when I'm there (which she accepted) and the same goes for you. I'd be more than happy to host you or give you company on your trips in Pakistan next time 🤗
This is such a nice story! I totally understand why you feel that way as it is true many aren’t very open minded, but it’s great you found this person!
Glad you are showing "THE OTHER SIDE OF PAKISTAN"
that world totally ignore on purpose
GOD BLESS, MA SHA ALLAH

From the bustling cities to the serene landscapes, Pakistan's beauty is truly awe-inspiring. This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to explore the beauty of Pakistan and experience the warmth of its people.
Thank You
Thank you for visiting Pakistan ❤️
Being there with you from the start I am glad to see the girl who imagned being in Pakistan during her childhood despite never visiting it and from a country whose people knwo so little about it is now settled Pakistan and can be called a Pakistani...I guess it truly was a calling from the begining. Good to see you so happy
Thank you so much! I really do think it was a calling, I didn't get into this in this video but I had a friend from Karachi when I was 9 and read a ton of fiction books set in Pakistan. It's crazy when childhood interests come back in adulthood!
@@SamanthaTaylorTravels Would love to hear that story sometime in detail about your childhood and connection with Pakistan and how at that time never visiting this country you imagined it to be based on those fiction novels and how diff it was from that.
I love my country I miss my country so loving & caring people's. Pakistan zinda abaad
welcome to beautiful pakistan ❤🎉
Thanks for visiting our country n showing real face of pakistan.
Thank you, that's really my goal as I have never been anywhere that is so horrifically misrepresented. The media lies are so bad people are even surprised we have malls here 😪
