finally seeing Ammar to be able to do this with zero stress is indeed, heartwarming.
I’m a resident of St Kitts and Nevis and was surprised to see to this video. It’s great to see that you guys loved the country I grew up in. I haven’t travelled much and would love to go Japan. Much love from SKN 🇰🇳❤
Was born to a Filipino mother and a Malaysian father, the marriage didnt went on papers. Was stateless (someone without citizenship) for almost more than 20 years. That is why i feel the feelings of Amar in his journey of getting alternate citizenship. It was really touched watching the video. I know what it felt like to live without or with limited citizenship rights. It was never easy. Managed to sorted the citizenship problem and got it last year. Havent had the chance to fly to another country. I hope one day i can visit the home country of my mother, which she has been talking about it since i am young. Hopefully I’ll get there someday.
Coming from Nigeria, raised in an underprivileged family. I got the opportunity to travel for the first time this year at 28 years old. Getting the visas were hell, scammed by travel agents. I live in kazakhstan now as an international student on a little funding. My greatest fear is still how i can get visas to travel to other countries during and after my studies. Its sad that some of us are born without freedom, but we hope to give our all in life to give our children the freedom we seek. I truly understand Amar, and the Yes theory team are great guys. I immediately went to St Witts and Nevis website but i saw the citizenship was by investment. I hope one day, the universe will smile on me too😊
This is such a beautiful story
I’m sure I’m not the only one but I literally cried watching this video. Ammar’s story hit too close to home. I moved to the United States 10 years ago from a country in Central Asia called Uzbekistan, I was born and raised there and didn’t want to leave but my parents thought it would be for the best. Not realizing that we would run into the immigration issue, where as soon as I got my American citizenship I could no longer go back home. It’s been 10 years since I’ve seen my family and it pains me every day. Luckily now with the new president in Uzbekistan they eased the laws and it became more possible, the issue now is the plane ticket is extremely expensive for me or any of my family to afford. But despite the American passport making it impossible for me to see my family for 10 years, I’ve definitely been taking advantage of it. I became a part time traveler, I’m 26 years old and I travel solo to countries I’ve never been before. Learning about other cultures, languages, lifestyles etc. Just two months ago I came back from a trip to Finland where my literal dream came true, I saw the northern lights. Thank you, Yes Theory for not only making amazing content but also being so encouraging and touching our souls in the way that you do. We love you guys❤
St. Kitts has a pretty neat flag! The green symbolizes the islands' fertile land (the Kalinago originally named St. Kitts, Liamuiga, meaning "fertile land"), the red symbolizes the bloodshed against slavery and colonialism, the yellow represents the nation's continuous sunshine, the two stars represent the islands and hope and liberty, and the black symbolizes the people's African origins. Besides Hamilton, something else the islands are famous for is being the home of the viral alcoholic vervet monkeys that the BBC once showed on Weird Nature. Vervet monkeys aren't native to the islands, they're originally from Africa and snuck on ships. They adapted there by eating sugarcane, but they just love to snatch people's drinks right on the beach!
Seeing Ammar's airport experience was so nice :') he was so happy and must have felt so good after having been treated with so much disrespect for so long.
"I dont think this is a moment to give up. I think its a moment to regroup, and trying to look at what our options are" that gave me goosebumps
As an Egyptian , I was crying throughout the whole video as I will never be privileged to even be able to afford this passport and that everything is really hard and I have to work 100x harder to be able to even dream of traveling and the amount of unfairness and sadness I am feeling now is crazy 💔
As someone that is planning on moving to St. Kitts for Medical School this video helped me see how beautiful it is as well as how kind their people are. As a fellow Caribbean gal I hope this is a good experience. I will also add that this whole starting med school and moving has brought me a lot of discomfort, anxiety and doubts. I will take your messages of “seek discomfort” as a sign from the universe telling me to go ahead and not have fear, but to welcome the experience with love. Thank you. ❤
So happy for you Ammar ♥️ I'm holding a Malaysian passport & after you share your story, I realize how privilege we are 🥺 Wish everyone who is kind can travel happily 🤍
Born and raised in the most remote parts of Kenya, Africa, I struggled to meet my basic needs. Despite the fact that I enjoy travelling, I have never had the opportunity to travel outside of my country due to financial constraints. My dream destination is China; the country has many exciting adventures that I would like to experience. YesTheory has been my greatest motivation since discovering this channel. After watching your video with WIM HOLF, you inspired me to face my health problem, asthma, which I have had since I was a child.
When you said "I don't think this is a time to give up but it's a time to regroup." I can't think of more appropriate words for everyone right now.
This inspired me - I’ve booked a holiday to St Kitts a a direct result of watching this story ❤🇰🇳
I'm from Tunisia and we have 34 visa-free countries we could go to ( i can't even go to Egypt without a visa, which would be freaking great cause I'd love to explore everything Egypt has to offer) it's really frustrating. I totally get how Ammar felt. I'm so glad you made it man and I hope you see your family soon! and honestly anywhere in the world would be great to see especially Australia
The country I've been dreaming of going to since 2014 is India. The reason is that I met an Indian guy on Facebook and we have been friends ever since. I am from little town of Lithuania, India seemed soo exotic to me! Over the years, we both grew together talking about our cultures, our backgrounds, starting families and growing professionally. I started to admire Indian culture so much thanks to Raj!For me personally, he is the person who has walked with me through the most difficult paths of my life, who has supported me emotionally, even though he was in another part of the world, I still felt I had him completely in my life. And that connection is still there. He will always be important to me, even though we don't talk every day, but he has a part of my heart. I know that one day, no matter what happens, we will meet so that we can look into each other's eyes, not through a screen. ☺️
The emotion that Ammar has always shown through this channel has sometimes been tough to watch. To see Ammar so joyous and excited made this video special.
That guy who helped you on Nevis - some random stranger you flagged down - was amazing!
