Iraqi Travellers Cafe (ITC) is one best example of that bright Iraqi youth that reaches across cultures and breaks down barriers of prejudice, which is much needed. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to ITC for what they do. “

” I am so glad I found out about Iraqi Travellers Café when I visited Iraq for the first time! It’s a great way to get to know Iraqis and people from all over the world. Learn about different perspectives, ways of life and about what modern Iraq is really like, and of course meet people to share the journey with. The people from Iraqi Travellers Café really helped me have an amazing experience in Iraq. “

” Without the help and support from Iraqi Travellers Cafe, I would never have had the opportunity to explore Iraq in depth. ITC connected me with resources to explore the country independently, introducing me to some of the most hospitable people on planet earth! ITC should be an indispensable part of any independent traveller’s programme in Iraq! “
