The Most Underrated Country I've Visited | Lebanon Travel Vlog

I'm Lebanese and I felt so happy watching this vlog. Lebanon is truly so gorgeous and I felt that you represented it really well

I am so happy to see that you had such a good time. Thank you for showing your audience the beauty that is this tiny mismanaged piece of heaven! My country has been through so much yet every time I have taken my European friends (I am Lebanese but moved to London when I was 7) they have reminded me just why I fell in love with Lebanon in the first place and they loved it just as much! I actually moved to Beirut and worked there for 3 years after graduation and it’s sad to witness what has happened since 2019 but like we always say, Lebanon WILL rise again.

I lived in Beirut for a year in the early 2000s (I was bureau chief for the news outlet I worked for at the time.) It's difficult to describe to those who've never visited just how culturally rich, historically significant, and downright beautiful the country is -- though you do a pretty darn good job of that here.🙂 The people of Lebanon are easily among the friendliest and most helpful I've ever met, the food is amazing, and the history and culture can't be beat. It's had a rough go of it over the past 50 years or so. Yet even with the civil war, the refugee crisis, economic problems, and the 2020 blast, it's still easy to see why Beirut is called the Paris of the Middle East, and why the country as a whole is a favorite among people from all over the world.

Such a BEAUTIFUL country!! Thank you so much for sharing and helping to bring Lebanon higher up on our list

As a Lebanese, this video was so heartwarming to me ... and thank you for visiting my home town Tripoli. It is severely underrated and underrepresented, even though- in my opinion- is one of the most charming cities in the world <3

I'm Lebanese and I loved your video. My father immigrated to America during the Civil War and grew up with much of the devastation it entailed. Thanks for sharing, Lebanon is beautiful and deserves all the recognition!

if you were my history teacher in school I might have actually learned something. I'm not sure what it is, but I really enjoy when you pull education into your videos, your voice is easy to listen to and you always make things relatable and interesting. Thank you for this!

I love these videos so much. Highlighting such beautiful aspects of countries and cultures. So cool to see the resilience of people like Sarah despite some major adversities. Great video

Hi Elena! I’ve been subscribed forever and I remember watching videos from the last time you were in Beirut! I’m half Lebanese but have always felt very disconnected from my culture, I have never been to Lebanon and it’s of course at the top of my list to visit. Thank for highlighting such a beautiful place and people, I’ve been looking forward to this one🇱🇧

As a (half) Lebanese, this video warms my heart. While life in Lebanon can be tough, watching videos like these help remind me of all the beauty and culture that’s out there that can hardly be paralleled anywhere else. Thanks Elena for bringing exposure to this beautiful country. I watched your content for a long time and wish we could have crossed paths! I hope you will come back again someday because there’s so much more to discover! ❤

talking about Home has always been bitter sweet for me, thank you for representing it in such a good light <3 !

This video is definitely my favourite of the series so far

Love this series! Was just thinking yesterday that I was excited for the next one. Elena always delivers for us!

I'm so excited for this series, it's so obvious the work you put through each episode from the narrating to the editing! Can't wait for the next part!

I've been waiting for this vlog😍Glad you enjoyed my beautiful country

This just made my day! I haven't been able to visit home in the past couple of years. Despite now living in New York, nothing tops Beirut, the city of my heart <3

I found your channel a week ago or something and I'm really fascinated by how you are travelling while learning the culture and the history. Also the female lense idea is awesome! Great work, you are amazing.
