We made it into #syria #kurdistan it was a little scary crossing the boarder as ofocurse we have absolutely no idea what might transpire, we just have to trust the people on the ground that are advising us and looking after us. This was the beginning, it was cold and wet so so nice to meet. #syria deserves not to be ignored #kurdistan deserves not to be ignored. There is a lot of coming from all sorts of different directions. I heard that isis surrendered yesterday but that does not mean it's all over the Syrian people or the Kurdish people, it's a story I'm not in a position to tell you all learn a lot from my short time there and I hope that peace will come to every one on all sides soon. #totalworldtour
