Peace
Today, I'm traveling to Türkiye at night
And I have three tickets given to me by Turkish Airlines for free
So I thought instead of me using them
I will give them to three people
I search for them randomly on the streets
In random ways
And take them with me!
So the challenge that I get them to travel with me tonight!
Ready?!
Yalla (Let's go)
I'm searching for people to travel with me
I want one person
- I just met him!
We can just leave now
Yalla
Trabzon
Almost the most beautiful city in Türkiye
I wanted to go and show it to you and I didn't want to go by myself
So I thought let's do this experiment
People always
Find it hard to find a travel partner
So what would happen if
I go down the streets and ask people to travel with me
Are you free today?
Can I ask you a question?
Ready?
- Yeah
Wanna travel?
- Yalla
Today
- Yalla
Are you free?
- Yalla
Yalla
- Where to?
To Türkiye
- Yalla
So fast to agree
We found one!
[laughs[
[exchanging phone numbers]
We haven't recorded yet, Muhammad greets me
- Assem
And he said he's ready
- Of course we're ready
I'm not joking though
- For real, how many days?
Four days
- Yalla
Until Thursday
He didn't ask for details, we didn't even know his name
What was his name?
But I have his number though and I will call him back and make sure
So that he wouldn't think we're joking
- Listen, send me the video so that I will show it to my wife
- So that she wouldn't think I'm uhmm traveling with someone
We are going today to a place
You wouldn't believe
The Boulevard
Ready?
Yalla
I came to the place I have coffee in most often in Amman
Its called Kahwe Black
And we'll see if someone who works here might get convinced to travel
I want one Americano
How much?
One dinar
It's ready!
I have a question
I'm traveling tonight
I'm searching for someone to travel with me, I need one person
Who's free? Anyone free?
- What time tonight?
At dawn tomorrow
Would you come?
- I'm in!
In?
- I'm in, a 100%
Last say?
- A 100%
For real?
- No joke
That's it
To Trabzon, Türkiye
You have a Jordanian passport?
- Yeah
You took the vaccine?
- Yes
What's your name?
- Muaz Abu Laban
Muaz Abu Laban, second guy
- Hala walla
- On who's account?
Mine
Coffee is tasty here!
I was joking, there's no flight
No, there is a flight
[laughs]
I'm speaking for real
Talking to Muaz' manager: Would you allow Muaz three days off?
- Of course
- Yes!
For sure?
[laughs]
You need to work without him for these four days
- I just came to work, I start at 10 so, how lucky I am!
- Turn the camera off, let's see if if this is for real or not
Such a lucky guy
- Don't prepare dinner, I won't be here today, alright?
- Send me the picture of the passport
- No joke
Unfortunately Assem was not able to come with us anymore
So we still had a place for two people
If you like his spontaneity, leave me a comment maybe I'll surprise him with a another trip
I'm traveling to Türkiye tonight and I'm searching for someone to travel with me, would you like to come?
- Yeah
You would?
- Yes, I want to go to Türkiye
Tonight!
- Yalla
For sure?
- For sure
Everyone agrees without hesitation, how is that so?
You don't have a job?
- I do have a job
- I'll take a vacation
You can take a vacation?
- I need to talk to my manager, he's over there
How did you agree without asking your manager?
- He's over there
Let's go ask her manager
Yalla
Dana is taking us to her manager to ask him if he would give her a vacation
She might not come with us anyways because she has been there for a million times before
Hello
- Welcome
How are you doing?
[greeting each other]
- An employee has all his rights given to him
- The rights that are found in the law
When we stop recording what will happen?
"No vacation! No!"
- Turn that camera around please
- Dear brother, we are ready
- With full support
😢
Turns out she have been to Türkiye so it didn't work out
My salutations to our Jordanian people
Who are very outgoing
I expected that people needed a bit of convincing to come with us
Everyone said "yeah"
Are you ready? "yeah"
Rea--
I don't know how they take their vacation from work
We arrived to Dawar Paris (Paris Circle)
In Downtown Amman
And I will upload a story now and the first one who sees this story
And comes to me
He will go with me on the trip
This is our second way of finding a stranger to take with us
Let's see
Alright guys, I am in Downtown Amman
In Paris Circle
So the first person who comes here
As I said in the previous story about the conditions
I will take him with me to Türkiye tonight
I uploaded the story and now we wait
No one wants to go to Türkiye for free?
Seems that all the Jordanians have been to Türkiye
Hello, how are you?
Ibn Hattuta
- I just watched your story
For real?
So he came, what is your name?
- Anas
Have you been to Türkiye before?
- Yes, I went there
You are not qualified then
- For real?
It should be your first time going there
- No problem, on the good side we got to see you
So it's normal that you leave your job for four days?
- It's normal, my brother is in the store
That's good then
How are you?
- Alhamdulillah (praise be to God)
What's your name?
- Areej
Areej! How beautiful your name is
How old are you?
- Four
Four years old, do you like to travel?
- Nuh-uh
She doesn't like traveling
Go with me to Türkiye?
- Nah
No? We found someone saying no, at last
Welcome
- How are you?
How are you?
- How's it goin'?
All good
How are you?
How are things going?
- Alhamdulillah, excellent
May God grant you happiness
- May God protect you
May God protect you
- That's enough greeting, right?
Have you been to Türkiye before?
- Yes, I have been to it
We're searching for someone who hasn't been to Türkiye before
- Don't tell me there's someone who came before me
Have you been to Türkiye before?
- I want to go! I'm asking if someone came or not
Have you been to Türkiye before?
- No
Park the car and come down then
Haven't you been to Türkiye before for sure?
- No, I swear
First time?
- Yeah, first time
That's it! What's your name?
- Omar
You have a Jordanian passport?
- Jordanian, yeah
Are you vaccinated?
- Yes, everything
For real?
- 100%
You're free tonight to travel for four days?
- Let's leave right now, yalla
Alright, so we found Omar
Are you sure?
- Sure
I don't want to not find you in the airport
- Yalla
Say "If I don't come to the airport tonight, I will take responsibility of all the loses"
- Exactly what he said
- 100%
You lost it, we're sorry
- Oh for real?
For real, he's the winner
You didn't get it
- It's alright
[laughs]
- Off until Thursday
- With a salary or without it, whatever he says
Just bring your bag, passport, I'll see you in the airport
Hard luck for the rest of you
See you in the next trips
May I ask you a question?
- Yeah
What's your name?
- Hala Diab
Are you free tonight?
- Tonight?
- Tell me, what is it?
I'm going to Türkiye and I'm searching for someone to go with me
- Tell that to my parents then
Alright, it's on me though
- On you?
Yeah
- So nice!
- But we need items
Yeah so you prepare your items and we'll travel tonight, four days, I'm taking three people with me
- If it comes to me, I would go
But it's your parents decision
- It's my parents decision
I agree, not everyone can --
- Yeah
I have a plan
- What do you have?
I'm traveling tonight
To Türkiye and I'm searching for someone to go with me
- I'm traveling to Dubai honestly
Traveling tonight?
- Yeah
- I'm going back home
[laughs]
Alright then
- But why?
To record a video
You know, YouTubers and their silliness
But she looks free though
I'm free but I'm scared
In a year, you will reminisce saying it was the best decision of 2022
You guys are joking
- Go! Enjoy!
- I just met him!
- How would I go with him?
- Thank you for the offer, thank you
I'm traveling tonight, to Turkey
- Yes
And I'm looking for someone to travel with me
- Okay
I found two people and I need a third person
Would you go?
- To go to Turkey tonight?
Yeah
- Uhmm, I don't know
Until Friday
[laughter]
- I don't know
[laughter]
- What are you gonna do in Turkey?
Trabzon, it's nature and stuff
- Uh yeah, maybe
You would go?
- Uhm yeah
Okay!
- I have to tell Haidar
Seriously?
- Yeah!
Okay, call Haidar, you can call him
Okay
What a good morning
Hala
- How are you?
Hala hala
- Hi there
The strangers have met and gathered
[laughs]
We landed in Trabzon at last
It was Muaz' first time on a plane
- And the last one
Why though?
- My brains stopped
Really?
- It's horrifying, bro
Horrifying?!
Before we start the trip, by the way the ticket with Anadolu Jet
From Amman to Trabzon directly
Costs around $300 two-ways
So if anyone wants to come to Trabzon, you know the price
Peace be upon you
- And peace be upon you
[greeting each other]
We came in the morning as soon as we arrived, we're having breakfast
We came to Türkiye and we can't have but a Turkish breakfast
I just want to hear the sound of the crunch
After I recorded the video, I noticed that the three people who came
Needed a trip and also agreed to travel even before they knew it was all on me
But the question is
If they can take some days off from work and can travel with their own money
What were they waiting for?
I have learned an important lesson from this experience
That most of us can create the time and the needed situations
To do something we love
But we wait for a push
Someone on the streets stopping us and face us with reality
So my advice for you
Don't wait for anyone pushing you out of your comfort zone
Get out of it and push yourself by yourself
See you in the next video, from Trabzon
May God increase your travels
Peace!
