Nashville Public Radio presents a new, four-part series: The Country In Our Hearts — out June 5. In 1988, hundreds of thousands of Kurds fled northern Iraq as Saddam Hussein’s armies hunted them down. Many ended up in Nashville, making this southern city home to the largest Kurdish community in America. Their stories are epic. Stories of bloody genocide, freedom fighters, faraway mountains and the American Dream.

This travelogue is just one part of my dispatches from Erbil. You can read them all on the project’s landing page here. Friday — Sept. 13, 2024I had enjoyed my trip to the Qaysari Bazaar immensely, but I wanted to go back with someone who knew their way around. So when Suha Kamel, the journalist I’d met just a few nights ago, invited me to join her and a friend on an evening trip to the bazaar, I leapt at the chance. When we arrived, the sun had just set and the day had finally begun to cool off.

This travelogue is just one part of my dispatches from Erbil. You can read them all on the project’s landing page here. Thursday — Sept. 12, 2024The Qaysari Bazaar is an absolute marvel. Nestled in the heart of old Erbil, this sprawling covered market sits in the shadow of the city’s ancient citadel, which is perhaps the oldest continuously inhabited place on earth. My first visit was wonderful and wonderfully overwhelming. People have been buying and selling here for more than eight hundred years.

This travelogue is just one part of my dispatches from Erbil. You can read them all on the project’s landing page here. Wednesday and Thursday — Sept. 11 and 12, 2024My first few days in Erbil were spent exploring my neighborhood, making calls and sorting out the logistics of living in a new place. I secured myself an Iraqi phone number, and I successfully converted my stash of U.S. dollars into dinars.

This travelogue is just one part of my dispatches from Erbil. You can read them all on the project’s landing page here. Sunday through Tuesday — Sept. 8-10, 2024Breakfast at the Classy Hotel Ankawa is an excellent place for people watching. It quickly became part of my morning routine. I would wake up, get dressed and then go down to the breakfast buffet to eat my fill of fruit, bread, eggs and cheese.
