I ask myself, why should I focus on the negatives when there’s so many positive things to say about Yemen?

Look, there’s no doubting that Yemen is undergoing some major problems like civil war, intense famine and excruciating poverty. But when I take a second to look past that, this is truly an amazing country from the food to the historical sites and hospitality. Yemen is capturing my heart like few countries ever have.

Please enjoy this video which shows off the good side of Yemen from my experiences in the country so far. I really wish the media would have more stories like this in Yemen (and other countries like Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Iraq) — don’t you?!
