]]> Christian Lindgren describes himself as a young(-ish) Norwegian fella who loves to travel. He often finds himself drawn to the places where no-one, or at least a few people, considers going to. The traveller, photographer, beer lover and adventurer has already seen over 100 countries. In his latest adventures he has visited Baghdad and Southern Iraq.

“After months of paperwork and waiting did I finally receive my tourist visa for Baghdad and Iraq a country that since the western invasion in 2003, been considered to be one of the most dangerous cities on Earth,” traveler shared. “During my travel in Iraq did I visit Baghdad – Samarra -Ctesiphon – The Ziggurat of Dur-Kurigalzu – Karbala – Najaf – Kufa -Babylon – The Mesopotamian Marshes – Basra. And I even took the local train from Basra back to Baghdad.”

Gates to Babylon, probably the most famous ancient city anywhere in the world. Located in South Central Iraq. It has been estimated that Babylon was the largest city in the world c. 1770 – c. 1670 BC, and again c. 612 – c. 320 BC. It was perhaps the first city to reach a population above 200,000. The gate here in Iraq is a replica, the original one is in a museum in Berlin German. Or like the locals says "The Germans is keeping it safe for now, it's safer there than here, but when situation here is good again, will we want it back."#iraq #travelblogger #travel #adventure #natgeotravelpic #beautifuldestinations #thephotosociety #instagram #yourshotphotographer #nofilter #worldnomads #iamtb #lonelyplanet #guardiantravelsnaps #neverstopexploring #middleeast

The remains of Wangdue Phodrang Dzong in Bhutan , a four-century-old architectural wonder that had dramatically stood on a ridge at the confluence of two rivers. the dzong was built in 1638 by the nation's founder, Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, and was among several fortress-monasteries constructed to help gain control of — and unify — the country. #bhutan #welltravelled #justbackfrom #passportexpress #passionpassport #openmyworld #goplayoutside #natgeotravelpic #wildernessculture #letsgosomewhere #ourplanetdaily #keepitwild #stayandwander #explore #travelstoke #doyoutravel #lonelyplanet #worldtravelpics #aroundtheworldpix #mytinyatlas #theglobewanderer #beautifuldestinations #wanderlustsyndicate #yourshotphotographer #thephotosociety #instadaily #instagram #nofilter
