    Things in Venezuela have changed dramatically .....After being there for a few weeks a month ago, I felt completely safe walking and driving everywhere, and things have improved a lot in many other ways. If María Corina Machado is somehow able to become president, the Venezuelan economy will take off like a rocket and Venezuela could be one of the best countries in the world.

      Only Maria Corina Machado (Controlled opposition) is not that good for Venezuela, she is a puppet of the West and realy bad for Venezuela.
      She is the one who give the country away for her own benefits.
      Best example is the case about British Guyana and the Essequibo which belong to Venezuela, she want to hand it over to the west, which is very bad and not honest.
      Basicly she sell Venezuela for her own benefits.
      I prefer Inaki Escariz.
      He is the real opposition and clean.

    I live in Bogota, Colombia. A lot of local people from Bogota, and Colombia in general, shit on Venezuela how it is "unsafe", "never go there", and similar bad reputation stuff - but based on your video and some experiences I've heard from a friend who stayed in Caracas for a month - it is literally the same as in Colombia; especially in a large city like Bogota. Safe during the day, sometimes risk of pickpockets, during the night it gets more risky depending in what "estrato" you live in. Lots of homeless people recycling and begging for money on the streets as well. People love to blame the influx of Venezuleans for these problems here, but from what I know from older generation - it has always been like this, it's just that the people always like to blame others for their problems.
    Thank you for sharing an insightful video - I really enjoy your content man; good luck with your travels and with your learnings. Latam can be a sketchy place, but it is an immensely beautiful and passionate part of the world ridden with many differences and contrastswhich you can see at every step.

      bro, always in the history colombia was more unsafe than Venezuela hahaha. Colombians are know here in Venezuela as the founders of several slums in Venezuela, and the greatest slum in Caracas, called Petare. Since 70s when Venezuela was great economically and they were bad, so many colombians came to venezuela and they brought at lot of their "malandro" (thug) culture, like sicarios (hitmen), prepagos (pay on prostitutes), secuestros express (fast kidnapping), their music vallenato. They was a big group like 5 millions of colombians were in Venezuela back in the 2000s. Now, they talk like they are saints and the venezuelans are the devils, because this venezuelan crisis. The new generation of venezuelans with the colombian culture and with Chavista mentalitty are what they are looking right now, and sure the roles have changed, right now is the venezuelans going to Colombia, and some of these are doing bad things... but in overall, Colombia was/is unsafer, come on, they are the creator of narco bands or carteles.

I'll tell you a quick story from where you were in sabana grande in the video. I was walking through there one evening at around dusk and there was a big crowd looking towards a panadaria.....I asked someone what was going on and it turned out that the malandros had tried to rob it and they had taken the owners hostage. At that moment shots rang out from inside the panadaria and people in the crowd dived for cover. A couple of minutes later everyone was back in position to watch the entertainment! Life was really real and poor people had no money for any entertainment besides the life in front of them......I was also in plaza francia when there was a massacre there under Chavez and also in macuto when the torrential rain brought down the mountain and caused the ensuing la guaira disaster. It's like another lifetime and hard to believe all that happened in those times. That's what I love about south America and Venezuela in particular, there are adventures everywhere and life is real, although sometimes very brutal. The thing I loved most was to spend time on Margarita, it used to be a paradise, although a little dangerous. Please be careful yourself and stay safe!!

    I have to call you out on one thing. You mention that you have to watch out like in any country. You are not the only one to say that, but I think it is false.
    Here in Canada, you can walk anywhere, even the worst section of a city, and not worry about safety.
    I was just in Korea and Japan, and I was able to wander at 2am in any neighbourhood. There just is no safety issues.
    So saying you need to watch out like any place is not true. There are plenty of places where safety is not even something to think about.
    Also, can you speak to the issue that you have to worry about the police in Venezuela?
    People are often detained by police for no reason and have to pay them to get free.
    The fact that you can't trust the police is a bigger issue than there being high crime.
    I know of a person that was stuck at the Caracas airport for days, because the army or passport control made him get money wired from his country to Venezuela to pay them. They wouldn't let him go until he did.

      No police man are going to atop you and ask for money if they know, and obviously will, that you’re tourist.
      The safety issue in Venezuela is the same than any latin american country, can’t compare Venezuela, Colombia or Perú with Canadá or Japan.
      One thing, I just went to Barcelona Spain 1 month ago and got robbed by a pickpocket. That never happened to me in Venezuela so far 😣

    Buenas noches. Venezuela es Venezuela con eso les digo wue nosotros no nos parecemos a ningun pais latinoamericano y eso de debe a nuestra historia. Un libro como "Las venas habiertas de America Latina" lo describe muy bien. Venezuel a diferencia de los demas paises de latinoamerica colonia de los españoles fue una capitania general. Venezuela por su ubicacion es el centro de latinoamerica limita con el mar caribe y tiene un clima espectacular. Venezuela fue y es casa para imigrantes Españoles, Portugueses, Chinos, Colombianos (6 millones), Peruanos, Ecuatorianos, Chilenos, etc.
    Venezuela es una potencia energetica mundial que es una ventaja pero una desventaja a la vez, porque diempre será asediada.
    Tus has visitado al país después de vivir un bloque que aun lo vivimos. Pero gracias a Dios wue estas aqui y te llevas una buena impresion.
    Antes de visitar un pais te recomiendo que estudies su historia.
