You have no idea how happy MAYA was seeing herself on the video! she is saying Miao to everyone who watched the video twice! hopefully you won't have much obstacles sharing your stories as you had with the last two videos. i am sure we will hear more stories, the snake spared our lives back in the desert for a reason !

For future reference, when you go online to set an appointment they are always full for months. The trick is, they aren’t actually full they just set them that way. Just call them and they will manually give you the appointment in one of those “full” spots. They have been doing this since the big C hit.

As a Moroccan i am proud and honored that you "ended up" in our neck of the woods so glad you had a good time and hope you come back

One week ago I needed an emergency passport too as my passport got stolen in a robbery in San Francisco. Luckily my home country has a consulate in SF and I could get an emergency document on the spot to get back home Am so thankful that I wasn't stuck

WOW. This last week trying to figure out why this video was originally deleted was stressful, but having you guys come back and show it some love once again means the world to me. Thank you guys for appreciating my work and what it stands for.

Loved it both times i watched

You know you're in a house with a good vibe and a person of culture if they have a cat. This video randomly popped up on my feed and I’m so glad I watched it! What a beautiful video, an incredible story, and by letting the world guide you where you needed to end up, you got to experience the Sahara with what seems like an amazing, kind group of people! As a person who doesn’t travel much (I've been to just China, Vietnam, Singapore, and Russia), this is very inspiring, educational, and truly enjoyable! It is incredible to see how even though we may not understand what someone is saying verbally, we can all feel each other's emotions Morocco fun fact: Morocco is famous for the tree-climbing goats, who climb such trees to eat argan fruit (which is then digested, and its kennels pooped out) as part of the process for argan oil.

Moroccan hospitality was like nothing i have ever experienced. I had a blast travelling around Morocco with the boys and we met some amazing people and made some great friends.

Sometimes the greatest adventures are away from our intended path, incredible vid!!

Humans chilling with humans, smiling, and having a good time. I love it. This is the kind of life I wish everyone could experience, all the time.

Wow Luke, I watch many storytellers on KZfaq but no one ever beats you! This was amazing! I mean all those unexpected situations and the people you’ve met and the way you tell the story! I’m in love with your work! Never give up, we needs you as our inspiration! You are naturally talented! Brilliant guy! Well done! Xx

This unexpected friendship with these beautiful people is so wonderful.

This is what interaction between humans should be. It shouldn't matter where you come from, your background, etc., just be respectful and healthy curious about others. I wish you all serenity in your life. Much love from Italy. 💜

so good we watch twiceeeee!

Sometimes life just has other plans for you, and it's amazing when it works out! Going with the flow is the best way to travel. That emergency passport took you on such a great adventure. Not only did you get to camp in the Sahara, which few people can say they have even seen, but you also got rained on in the Sahara which is rarer still...and you experienced it all on your birthday...PRICELESS! And you formed friendships for a lifetime! A fun fact about Morocco, Morocco was the first nation to publicly acknowledge American independence, allowing American flag-flying ships in their ports on December 20, 1777. France was the first in general as Louis XVI said he recognized the US on December 6, but he didn't sign the treaty.

For someone with zero chill, you absolutely amaze me. The way you make it all seem so easy and natural, to make connections with people like that. I went on a spontaneous weekend trip to stay in a campervan with $15 return plane tickets and I spent the majority of the trip on the verge of a panic attack, assuming everything would go wrong. It didn't, of course. I want to live more like this. I will say though, as a woman I do get a little scared sometimes, I don't think I would be so brave but part of that is to protect myself. so idk..

This vid came served up to me by the YT algorithm. This experience as it unfolded hit me in a surprising way, I started crying, out of nowhere, remembering all my own similar travel experiences of when I was your age, 20-30 years ago. I was young, single and in love with the world, these friends made I still have, and keep, and these experiences that I still cherish. Your video really stuck the nerve, the emotions came in a flood.

Saving this epic video from algorithmic failure 🙌🏽 PS “I wish I understood” #relatable 😂

Your videos are healing I also believe that everything happens for a reason, especially while travelling when I had similar situations to yours and ended up having amazing unexpected experiences !

Oh wow 😮. What an amazing adventure you had. You are blessed you found fun, wonderful people to celebrate your birthday with in a beautiful place🎉👏🏻. Thanks for sharing

KZfaq better keep this up this time, because this is a straight masterpiece. Happy belated birthday Luke

I think if you used and uploaded your filled American passport details/scan then the visa would've been approved. Even if the US embassy punched holes in your old passport, I'm sure you must've had a scan on your PC. If you showed up at the border with your emergency passport you would've been ~85% let through. India's visa application uses a lot of AI and it must not have recognized the rare US emergency passport and sort of auto-rejected. Visiting the Indian Embassy in Europe would've been the better play. Either way cool adventure! Highly recommend India, its an amazing place to travel to for sure.

Had the biggest smile on my face the whole video! It's truley amazing how close we all are, even strangers from all around the world!

Such a dope video brotha!

Things always happen for a reason . Without visa rejection you wouldn’t live fascinating experience in the Moroccan Sahara . Much thanks for the Moroccan guy who hosted you . Hospitality is deeply rooted in Moroccans

It's back! So happy to see it again!

What a truly epic journey! I’m so happy you met such amazing people who helped you a long the way, and I’m sure have made new friends with. Such a wonderful thing to watch. ❤

So amazing Luke! I admire that you're able to just get up and go on these adventures. Very cool

Morocco is a special place that deserves so much more attention and love. I've been one time and will be back for sure.

My absolute favourite storyteller on KZfaq. This is why you don't need the best cameras to tell amazing stories!

Luke, I’m a long-time follower and I am so deeply thankful for your happiness and kindness! Your videos clear me up truly and inspire

I’m so glad I stumbled across this channel. It feels very personal. Reminds me of when I travelled and enjoyed the simple things more. Life has been so stressful lately. I’m inspired to finally go back out and just enjoy life. Thank you!

This is so freaking cool. One of my favorite quotes from Brad Sham is that “you never know the end of the story while you’re standing in the middle of it.”

Luke, I see you becoming more and more 'present' throughout the evolution of your channel. You oftentimes present challenging situations that could be perceived quite negatively, but then quickly turn them into deeply meaningful and positive experiences. I love the philosophical 'theme' - your videos are inspirational!

this made me smile from ear to ear. what a gift for storytelling and capturing reality. We need so much more of this on KZfaq.

This is so far the most heart warming video, I have watched on KZfaq. ❤️

I'm a firm believer things happen for a reason! It's nice to see you had a great time and adventure with new friends in Morocco!

I have no idea who you are, and have never ever seen any of your other videos, but for some reason, the KZfaq algorithm recommended me this video. Wow. I was blown away. This video is absolutely AMAZING. I hope you do get to do your planned trip to India soon, but either way, it looks like you had a blast in Morocco!

oh wow!! luke you are always welcome to comeback to morocco,, hopefully next time u will be able to see even more landscapes because our country is so beautiful and diverse!! love you 🤍

this is my favorite video because it really demonstrates and highlights the humanity behind what you experience; so cool!

You made me go and look at my older US passports. Apparently the rules changed at the end of 2015. Prior to that I had 26 extra pages (A to X) added into my US passports several times. In the past you could just stop in most any US embassy abroad and requested extra pages. I do not recall a fee, if there was one it was small. At one time extra pages were sewn in but in my two most recent passports they were taped in. This was a convenient service while living abroad as several countries in the region where I resided used full page visas in addition to the common entry and exit stamps. One thing I will not regret is finally getting to the front of the line for my exit stamp and watching the departure immigration officer pull my exit card loosing the marked page and then watching them try for too long to find my most recent entry stamp in a passport with 50 plus pages and hundreds of similar purple stamps. Only to be repeated shortly later by the arriving immigration officer at the next country's entrance. I got very good at knowing the shapes and sizes of different stamps. If you travel or live abroad long enough you will experience the need to carry expired passports with unexpired multi use visas. My son was born abroad. I got him a US passport in short order. I had to go a special foreigners bureau to get an entry stamp in his passport for his being born into the country. On his fist trip abroad I took him with me to visit friends just before Christmas; his mom stayed home, but did give me a shopping list. At the border crossing I was delayed while immigration checked with her that it was okay for him to leave with me. When we returned from that first trip he received a dual national special visa in his US passport when I presented his birth certificate. As long as he carries that old passport he can enter visa free for life even though that old passport is long expired now. Other countries have similar procedures, some quite different, and procedures change with time. Many countries require an entry or special stamp in new replacement passports for lost passports; this can be a hassle if you fail to get that stamp in advance of departing. Countries want to stop people who over stay their visa and then "loose" their passport; a fairly common practice with some travelers and expats.

Hey Luke , I am an Indian American , I am heartbroken you couldn't visit my country. However your trip to Morocco was amazing and absolutely loved it. Hope you travel to India soooonn

Awesome, Luke. I've had the pleasure of getting lost in Morocco a few times and I absolutely love the country and the people. I'm glad you had a good time!

This just came on my feed and im glad I watched, I didnt blink for the entire video and even felt like part of it, I was laughing and experiencing your joy. Amazing how it all worked out this way and Ayeman and company you are really beautiful humans

KZfaq can try to take the video away, but they can NEVER take away the experiences you had or the friends you made along the way.

i can’t put a finger on all the emotions this video made me feel, but i’m crying, this was so heartwarming

I am happy to see you experiencing a life of travel I cannot imagine experiencing myself, I am sure there are difficult moments that you don't always show but you also show us the beauty of the world and its people. Thank you for sharing your travels with us.

i love your willingness to explore the lesser-known parts of the world and show a completely unbiased view of your experience. your life is truly one of ideals, nothing you do is a waste of time, every second is cherished.

Wow. I'm a 58 yr old woman in Canada watching this. This was amazing. So many feels... Truly special, so happy for you. Thank you for sharing.

KZfaq recommended me this video and I'm really glad it did It was a nice, peaceful, and happy 9 minutes, when there's so much stress in the world.

omg. The mind of traveling together with your new friend and the way how you’re talking about him magical it’s touched my heart 💜 Wish you amazing trips with good people.

you made me have the biggest grin on my face the entire 9 minutes watching, this was quite a beautiful journey!

You are young and in your prime, this is the perfect time to go exploring, adventuring, and visiting/traveling. Good for you buddy, and thank you so very much for sharing all of your experiences in reality!

Morocco is such an amazing place... The people are amazing! So glad your detour was there!

You're showing some good real times! Inshallah Habeebee! Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday! Inshallah! - Ihab Halim.

Just checked back on this video, and WOW it jumped up from a few thousand to over a million. I know you’ve been struggling recently with getting the algorithm back on your side, it makes me so happy to see that you’re getting a payoff for all the hard work you put into these Videos. I can tell you love what you do, hopefully you keep this traction 💙🙏

You're so lucky to experience something like this most people will never be able too. Don't take anything for granted, I feel blessed that my grandparents took me to see 42 states. We'd travel every time we would have time out of school. I remember all of it even though I was young.

I love seeing a young person out there learning the joys of going with the flow! It's amazing what can happen when you just take it as it comes. Great content, subbed!

I don’t really have a word to describe how much your videos made my day particularly this one, it literally feels like adventure too, like I was physically part of the journey. I will watch your videos till my last breath. Bravo bro, bravo 👏

I watch A LOT of content on KZfaq. This is HANDS DOWN the best video I’ve ever seen. Seriously. Just from the standpoint of making lemonade when you got handed lemons (passport sitch) and saying “f it - I’m going to Morocco” then seeing the trust in mankind and seeing the spirit of adventure and just embracing it all. Dude. Amazing. There is just something that brings people super close when they trust each other like this. Absolute blind faith. Sometimes it doesn’t work but when it does - magic. This was magic. Way to live, man.

Many thanks for sharing your stories with us Luke. Hopefully this time the video will NOT be deleted! 💚fingers crossed buddy

We got you luke

I love how free and spontaneous you are! Bless you❤

This video is magical! Thank you for taking us on that journey! The idea that even if something goes wrong, it might lead to even more crazy adventures!

This video popped up out of nowhere for me, since I hadn’t followed or known of this channel previously, and I was truly inspired by this video and subsequently this channel. The video was incredibly personal, where I felt almost like someone standing on your shoulder observing and experiencing what you’d had, and makes me wonder about how I’m currently living life…in an internship, finishing up college, and wondering what I will do with myself.

You are incredible and resourceful. The situations you find yourself in are incredibly tricky to navigate and it's amazing you share this with us all. A true inspiration

after clicking on this video I was thinking this was going to be another one of those videos... I was completely surprised. He is a great story teller and this video just feels good. I cannot explain it, it is wierd. I hope he does not stop and continues to grow himself as a content creator, director and dreamer. I will be watching more videos and I think I will not be let down. I dont know if his channels are the only funding he has for his travels or where it might come from. He is making every dollar count for sure. Keep it up. Still just blown away....

WOW, you're a great storyteller! This is my first video I watched on your channel and after one viewing I am a fan. Well done young man. I can't wait to watch more.

Loved this so much, I can’t imagine why KZfaq took this down. This was so beautiful and genuine storytelling and I love you’re doing what you’re passionate about!!!

Wow! Wow. Even living vicariously through you, through this KZfaq video, I feel like I've just experienced the kind of incredible adventure that Hollywood movies, reality tv, and even some commercials try to replicate but never truly succeed in delivering. This is a unique video, of its own right. The title drew me in because I wanted to know what a Purple US Passport could possibly be. The video kept me in, because it had something special in it. Something special which I'm not sure could ever be described accurately by any title. I have a "Favorites" playlist from the days of yore, when early KZfaqrs asked you to "Rate 5 stars and favorite the video." This video has earned a place in that list. It may not be any sort of recognizable accolade to you, but trust me, you, your adventure, and the video you've given to us, to me... this video touched my heart in a very unique way. --Thank you.

I’m actually crying rn idk why, this video is so beautiful maybe its cause i’m running on like an hour of sleep but i can’t get over it first video of yours ive ever watched

Wow! Just wow! Happy belated birthday! You give us something we really need! Human positivity!

Glad this made it back up. You did such an amazing job on this film and looks like you had a great time. Happy birthday, Luke!

This is really wholesome and inspiring. I hope to travel the world like that myself soon, and it feels good actually seeing that even if something very big goes wrong, it is possible to experience incredible unplanned adventures because of it. Happy birthday man!

I love vids like this, showing the truth of how 99.9% of people are really good and friendly 👍🏼

This video started so chaotic 😂and ended even more chaotic, but in an unexpectedly beautiful way. So happy to witness your experience on a path less traveled by many of us watching.

Glad to see the video back up. Happy for you!

Okay. I've just watch it through for real and you always create such art. You hit a heart string every time, your ability to connect with everyone you meet is a rare gift and it is quite frankly an honour to get to watch your stories. Keep doing what you're doing Luke

I love watching all your videos over and over.

This was interesting & helpful. Thank you.

It's amazing how beautiful people can be to strangers in so much of the world. Morocco is one of my favorite places. I'm glad you met such wonderful people.

Absolutely gutted by the previous video's removal, especially considering how your videos always inspire me despite any possible life problems to look forward to potential travels and doing something new, they are generally such feel good wholesome inspirational videos. Really hoping all goes well with this one. Best of luck and I'm really thankful that you provide such good content.

This is my first time watching one of your videos and I'm smilling from ear to ear. This was so wholesome and cute! I wish you all the best in life and hope to see more of your trips. Kudos from Brazil. New subscriber imediatly

Props to everyone is this video who was chill and inviting. Crazy how there’s places where people will do this for a person they met a few weeks ago

First video I watch from your channel. YT recommended it to me and I should say I'm pleasantly surprised. Great voice, nice personality and a pretty honest, down to earth guy. Love it!

i have never even discovered this guy's travel channel yet it's so wholesome, & mediating.

This is such an amazing vlog! Super story and adventure, Luke! Thanks for bringing us along the journey! :)

What a leap from your early videos, which were also fun. This is extraordinary. Good for you. Make a full-length film of all this at the end and run it in cinemas.

your videos are genuinely the most amazing I’ve ever seen on KZfaq, and i get so excited every time you upload to see what wild and amazing journey you’ve gone on. Your stories mean a lot to a lot of people and i hope you can keep doing what your doing.

Watching again for my boy because good guys shouldn't have to come last. Keep going Luke, you're so appreciated and your work is breathtaking 🙌

glad utube recommended your channel enjoyed ur contents ❤

So happy I clicked on this recommendation. This entire video was super heartwarming ❤

Luke's videos never fail to give me a sense of surrealism, I always end up looking at life through a new perspective every time he tells us the story of his adventures. Such a beautiful channel, I will forever be excited every time he releases a video!

Wow! What a great and safe video! Can’t wait to watch this over and over for years to come!

This made my day now I want to travel despite my illness. If simply watching made me feel this warmth, then actually doing so surrounded by beautiful cultures.

Really glad these videos are taking off I see your moving with caution with next video. Here’s to another 1m views

Glad the video is back up, I couldn’t watch it the first time it was uploaded :( It’s so nice to see you enjoy your time despite having to wait for your passport ! It’s also really heartwarming to see fellow moroccans being so welcoming🥹🥰

Inspiring as always! Thank you for posting these stories.

Great video. Love the journey. Gave me chills

happy birthday
