VLOG #297 - Let me know your thoughts in the comments section 🙈
Appreciate your support! 😉
*This was a heavy day for obvious reasons,* I found myself constantly overwhelmed. A huge thank you to Jose for organising this day, translating and sharing his horrific story. He uploads regular photos to his instagram, check it out for a glimpse into a Venezuelan's life: instagram.com/ayarzamusic/ - Tell him I say hi!
Much love to all Venezuelan's at home or abroad for what their nation is currently facing, our thoughts and hopes are with you all. 🇻🇪
Really dig your videos my friend. Truly informative with a culturistic vibe. Hope you stay well and stay safe in your journeys. Much love and God bless. - J.C. Miller - TranKQuiLL
Indigo Traveller let this be the year of the crisis ending
Thoughts and prayers for Venezuela.
I was about to ask how are you doing, bc you seem to be bit down. Damn, it is not easy to see all the hardships and meet people who live in tragic conditions every day :/
But I do want to say, I appreciate what you do. And, as I wrote once, my Venezuelan friends appreciate what you do as well. You show the situation to the world. Thank you ♥
@@krystynach.6084 YES! What Krystyna said, I totally agree, very nice/compassionate and perceptive comment! :)
Damn, Jose went through hell that day, like a zombie apocalypse homeless people running after him on the highway right after escaping a kidnapping.
Unreal.
@@IndigoTraveller But Real...
I was thinking the story sounded like a scene out of the walking dead! Didn’t think civilised society could collapse into that kind of chaos. the tv writers weren’t writing fiction.
Dulce Wilcox 😨
@@Flutterbyby Yes, they didn't. The sadly thing is that every bad, sad or horrible story you can hear about Venezuela, mostly of them are totally real sh ** t.
I’m Venezuelan and I honestly love how you show the reality of the country, keep it up man
Thank you Kenny!
Socialism is cancer
I'm brazilian and I really feel for your country man, sadly to see this situation, it's a really beautiful country :|
God bless you Kenny! Better times ahead, stay strong!
@@shannepatrickhodgsoncuthbe9322 Marxism is cancer. The word "socialism" has so many meanings nowadays that it's better not use it.
I'm venezuelan and i just want to say thank you for such a great work you did. This is the closest and more accurate report of my country that i've seen in youtube. You got into the slums, pro-government neighborhoods, opposition neighborhoods, got to the surroundings areas of Caracas... So thank you, you're very brave!!
Appreciate that! Thank you!
Its amazing but i wish he had to change to go to the state of Zulia to Maracaibo and those places there is the actual real crisis its crazy as hell Caracas and its surroundings are relatively "fine" in comparison to the rest of Venezuela.
He is still alive.
That is important.
@@IndigoTraveller I have been to the same place - before they built it. This is crazy. Note, she ate "fish and arepa" .. roots.
Greetings Americo, I just saw the documentary and it is excellent with details of the reality we live. Take care A lot of brother, we continue in the fight from our homeland ..
You don't have to justify where your staying mate, you live how you can live and they live how they gotta live. Unfortunately that's life how it is right now. You are doing great work showing how they are living in that country. Keep it going pal
Yes,I agree with you. This is very good comment.
Thank you both for the understanding .
@@IndigoTraveller :-)
Unfortunately that's how life is? Unfortunately that's how the world is? When people resign themself to that attitude then that's well UNFORTUNATE.
@@paulden3158 thats because people all over the world even on the richiest countrys lost the will of fight for a better living, they just resing themselves to live like that, one good example its here on Venezuela.
I love that you showed this. You have done an amazing job documenting the living conditions in Venezuela. Thank you.
Thanks Carla!
Yeah!!I had just gone to your channel 20 minutes ago looking for an update from you...Being a Grandma, I worry about your safety when we don’t hear from you in a while.😄 Loving this series. Safe travels.❤️
Haha beautiful, thanks for caring and watching! :)
im into grannys.
I could not finish watching this. It just kills me. I visited Venezuela in the 70s. Such a beautiful country. So much pain for its people.
How was it like in Venezuela back in the 70’s
With all due respect to everyone, while thoughts and prayers are great, but this channel needs support. These images of real people in real situations need to be spread everywhere. Indigo has close to a half a million subscribers, it should be ten times that, or more. These videos are truth, with no angle, agenda, or spin. In this world of staged news, we need the truth. This is it.
Share this truth on every platform you're on. Talk about this channel with people you know. And, above all, chip in a buck or two to keep the truth coming.
These are people like us. They need their story told truthfully.
Thank you, thank you, Indigo Traveller.
💖
Thanks, from a venezuelan.
Thank you J Mason, means a lot to me. Much love.
beautiful call to arms
I traveled to Venezuela in 2010 and this breaks my heart. Your approach is gentle and humble, great video 🇻🇪
What was it like then.
@@guynxtdork chavez ruined our country it is like this since years
The place looks ok to travel now. I think videos pick up the perspective of the narrator. If they are scared of their shadow, then the video is made to show that perspective.
Steven Lee I’m sorry my comment upset you. I am not American. I was not trying to make a political statement, just an observation based on my travels.
@Steven Lee Man stop the crack. Really, it will kill you. Not good for you and your kids. Smoke weed or something like that.
As a venezuelan forced to leave my beloved country I must say this series of videos had made me feel deeply homesick and sad as well... It's like we had the most precious paradise and it seems to be lost... Something broke and innocence has gone forever... Such strange emotions... Anyway thank you very very much for sharing all this to the world and for keeping such a great attitude. Bless you!
Who caused the crisis in Venezuela?
@@patelivid1637 many people ask me this and I've learned I should say this disclaimer before giving any answer: "Yes: I'm venezuelan. Yes: I hate Trump but yes: I hate Maduro more."
You may not agree with me and I can see why but if you ask me for one name I would have to say Hugo Chavez. He didn't just "help the poor" like many people say so carelessly. He did it by spending the whole country's savings, he also created a new social class for his family and friends making them extremely rich and powerful which has turned the country into a Mafia-State-like government.
But pointing fingers to a name right now is useless. We should keep in mind that it was the majority of venezuelans who voted Chavez in 1998 (like the majority of germans voted for some other infamous guy at their time) and now they're still facing the consequences for that. People are starving, eating from the trash and they've got little values and little education left to use.
The country needs to be saved and like a cancer patient, there is no cure that is not harmful.
Lo siento mucho! Tu país se ve hermoso!
Speaking and sharing the truth is dangerous brother take care out there
Will do mate, thanks :)
Based on the North Korea series I think the uploads start after he's left the country

I just love that even knowing how dangerous it is to go to Venezuela as a tourist in these moments. He did it. I really appreciate that as a Venezuelan. Thank you so much Nick for being able to visit my country. That makes me really happy and proud. ❤
Thanks for show the reality of my country which I left 9 years ago for the same reasons me and my family used to have business and we had a very good life my dad used to pay extortion for 1 year huge amount of money and on top of that used to be rob every Friday in his way at home for different people , in the last days we received a letter saying to pay 20.000 euros and they will leave us alone my dad didn't have more money left because he used pay every week for one year so he decided to left the country with us and escape and abandoned everything 3 businesses, 1 house and 2 cars now I live in London
😲😢wooow sorry to hear that hope yall much better now
welcome to the uk, i hope you have a good life here :)
@@kimwarburton8490 thank you I feel good here
thank you so much for what you do, as a venezuelan abroad it’s hard to explain people what’s going on back in my country and these videos are incredibly helpful :)
Very happy to hear that!
The old expression: "It's a nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live here" but where Venezuela is concerned might be altered to: "It's a nice place to visit via a CZcams video but I wouldn't want to visit in person"....Sad really. Good Work Nick!
Your videos have been excellent but so sad. In our hospital we see many Venezuelans - when I tell them what I’ve learned from your videos it opens them up to talk about what they have seen and experienced. Thank you and be safe
Thank you.
@@IndigoTraveller Youre such a lying creep.
@@SuperGraficas why?
@@bricehenry1223 pro-Maduro
@@THEHamBot1 really I missed that part.
OMG! Thank you Nick, for showing our realities in Venezuela. When I had the opportunity to travel across my country I saw this poverty, people trying to live in their ways and also the beauty of our landscapes. Thank you again to visit us. Hope you return when we become big and free again!
I hope so to!
Venezuela is a beautiful country. It's sad that governments do some messed up things & fight over things that make things a mess for everyone.
Sadly, there are areas of Los Angeles that are about the same, only with a lotta drug addicts & alcoholics too. The tent cities in Los Angeles are horrific.
Anyhow, I would love to visit Venezuela. It's beautiful there! The beaches and oceans are amazing!
It's sad to see people suffering anywhere.
I hope the governments can sort out whatever the issues are!
I've always wanted to see the mountains in Columbia and Venezuela where coffee is grown, chinchillas and some other indigenous animals live! I'd love to stay on a farm there for a while.
I doubt I could handle the heat & humidity on the coast. I would love to do some studies of animals indegenous to the mountains though (I'm a biologist, amongst other things).
So little research has been done there in Venezuela on the animals there! It would be amazing to do a study for a few years while living there!
Anyhow, it's a gorgeous gem there! I hope it's not over-developed in the natural areas!
I hope whatever's going on, it gets sorted out & people can get back to a better life.

@@IndigoTraveller i recomend u to see sinai south africa and argentina and dubai but i neve been in dubai regrd oran
Guy: "Dijo que le encanta la vista." (He said he likes the view)
Nick: "Hasta la vista" (bye)
lmao
pijafinocchio haha I was laughing at that too 🤣🤣 I was like wait what did I hear that right ?
estaba buscando justo este comentario jajaja
Lmao I was laughing at that too. Someone's been watching too much Terminator.
This is one of those times where i can't understand how this guy with such amazing and hight quality content has only 400k subs.
Keep up the good work, you're awesome
Thank you very much.
hearing the truth requires an effort, Indigo deserves more subs, but 400k is not by any means a small amount for something that's actually meaningful rather then.... you know what I mean
to reach so many people on quality alone, without promotion, is in itself already an achievement.
@@stanislavkostarnov2157 agreed on that too
The truth is terrible but true. Our friends started a small business in 2011 near Porta La Cruz. They were robbed at gun point tied up and left very shaken. They were fortunate to have not been harmed physically. Life is very hard there. Unless you have lived there it is difficult to understand how bad it really is. Living there one year was enough for me.
Interesting and sad and so scary what Jose had to go through! The highlight in this for me was the 2 flats these ladies showed where you could see they tried to make them homely. I loved the paintings on the wall, the curtains in the bedroom, whatever they were made of. I pray and hope things will improve for Venezuelans.
wow nick your content gets definitely more power in every video, I really like the way you decode the peoples life from rich to poor to midclass, I felt that you are the only traveler that has authentically get involve into this difficult lifestyle to understand for a foreign person , I am Venezuelan and still live here and can tell you are doing an awesome coverage of Venezuelans situation. Thanks for that.
Really appreciate this Frederic!
Wow! Jose's story was like a movie, so horrible. Our thoughts and prayers are with them Venezuelans. Thank you Nick for sharing all your experience with us.
Yes, very extreme. Thanks for watching :)
Mexico is no different than that.
Since I have never been out of country, it's good to see content that's not propaganda and actual footage and a very eye opening experience. Subbed keep it up
*PRO TIP: keep a fake useless phone and wallet with you at all times
Thieves already know that trick, be careful
I thought I had traveled the world, but you, sir, truly are. Thanks for a great channel.
Thank you Nick for a wonderful series on your travels in Venezuela. As an Australian who used to go to school and live in Caracas 38 years ago, your expose brings back many memories and shows how much things have changed...I still have a will to travel back there one day, hopefully when things can calm down and get back to normal..BTW , a big shout out to any expats who went to Escuela Campo Allegre and are watching this series..God bless to everyone for safe and happy travels and lives
Such a beautiful country, my heart goes out to those poor people.
Chirimena-Miranda!! When I was a child it used to be very hard to get there, not road, no unhabitants. Just one of the most beautiful beaches I have never seen (and I have traveled a lot). The Venezuelan Caribbean is magic, perfect.
This series has been amazing. Your work is amazing. Keep it up
Thanks Daniel!
You and your girlfriend share a youtube account? Duuuuuude....
11:27 José was telling her that you liked the decoration and stuff and you thought he was saying "hasta la vista" and said it to the lady 😂 this is quite hilarious if you actually understand spanish. No offense tho!
I’m Venezuelan, but form a different state called Zulia - specifically in Maracaibo City. I encourage you to go there and see the reality of a state that gave everything to Venezuela and they destroyed it.
él ya se fue del país
@@tamanako2507 I would definetly go to see that
Edgar Sihues who destroyed it?
@@patelivid1637 The government, because Zulia is an opposition state so the investment there is practically nule
How do you guys survive? What happened to the protests? 🇺🇸 is close to this! One vote away! I pray for your country, and please pray for us. Thank you!
You are providing coverage of a place and times which wouldn't otherwise be exposed. Your visit is so much about the people, not the mountains, beaches, or bricks. That's the best part. You might try selling it to PBS or CBS in the USA, not that any of us want you to turn into a Casey Neistat. You are firmly on a track that you are good at.
Who is Casey neistat?
STFU CHABESTIA
Selling it to lying Western media who will only change the contents to fit their own narrative and political agenda? NO THANKS.
@@jontiswe [Null reply]
Your best video of an exceptional series -brutal but necessary for the rest of us to see. Can't rebuild unless there's law and order. Jose's story - it was so good, Nick, that you had him tell it to the camera and Jose, you're the man for telling it. That it could have been cops, current or former, it's like where do you start to turn things around? I've heard of major league baseball players (in the U.S.) going back to Venezuela where they're from and getting kidnapped, which is why a lot don't go back. Like I said before, in a comment to one of your previous videos, Venezuela didn't get to where it's at now overnight - it's been a long slide down a slippery slope.
I cant imagine life like this💔 my prayers to all the people of Venezuela 🙏🏻❤🙏🏻
Who could really imagine what life must be like in that areas in these days? The less I can, the more I thank you, Nick, for showing us some mosaic stones. Be always safe and take care whereever you will go next.
Thank you my friend as always :)
That's life under socialism. May God help us all
God bless Jose n people of Venezuela. My prayers for them.
I'm venezuelan, and I'm loving your videos about my country, you have a new suscriber, Keep going on!
When I was 14 a robber nearly killed me inside a school in Venezuela . He pointed his gun at my face and said that it was going to be my last day alive because I didn't have any money for him as I was just a simple student. He proceeded to load his gun and just after I said my last words a group of children with their teacher passed by so he decided not to shut instead he told me to leave and as I was leaving he hit me on the back of the head and i lost consciousness for a few seconds. After I recovered I heard that the same guy had killed 2 other guys in the school and that he is known for jumping over the fence into the school to rob and kill students. The teachers are so disgusting they never tried anything to stop killers to get into the school, never called the police because the anarchy is so bad that nobody cares about anyone or anything. There is no prevention, no help, no reasonable understanding for human life, and you can see all this reflected in the government actitud towards people of their own community. Basically the most terrifying thing could happen to you and people would ignore you or act like if it was normal and that you are for blame for criminal actions that attackers perform against civilians. IS DISGUSTING
I am so sorry you went through that, how horrifying not only to deal with that man but to lose any trust you had in teachers and adults in general.
Corruption is also one big problem in out country, fortunately, God had sent President RRDuterte whose advocacies are war on drugs and corruption.At least, criminalities have lessened except for those who have been warned but didn't listen so they were killed even if they were elected local goverment officials.Our Pres Duterte talks blunty and sometimes tackless yet he has made a big difference in our lives and of the nation
It is a real tragedy that corrupt power in the hands of a few can so destroy a paradise on earth. For a country rich in natural resources this is is such a failure of humanity. So sad.
Totally agree.
Totally agree it's such a beautiful country with so much potential.... but human nature is to destroy stuff obviously .... :(
corrupt power in Washington that is
@@dosmundos3830 exactly!

Very sobering video. Makes me appreciate the opportunities and safety of the country I live in. Thank you so much for your work, God bless you.
José’s story is overwhelming but is very common in the Venezuelan reality.. Thank you again for sharing Nick. Always awesome
Not only in Venezuelan, but in Latin American countries... In Brazil is the same

Lets hope the best for them :)
@@IndigoTraveller you should go to trinidad if you have a chance.
I've also heard that they are nice people.

Amazing videos! Top shelf! You really tell the whole story like no other media can... You are a brave and highly intelligent man and should be recognized by the main stream... Keep doing what you love and thank you for educating millions of us...
Thank you for sharing the heart tugging life on both sides of Venezuela. A lot of what goes on in Venezuela goes on here in South Africa. Sending you a big hug for taking us into the real deal.
My dad has been kidnapped two times in Caracas, luckily he is alive but he spent months in psychiatrist, he got traumatized for months. This was many many years ago, I was a kid still but I remember most of it, he didn't even wanted me to show up at the windows. It was really bad time for my family
Your buddy Jose is a real friend brother I wish the best for him and his family Stay safe be careful man
Another historical monument of time, created by the great Nick. These videos document moments that are unscripted masterpieces of Art. We're so lucky to be shown these patches of time that are unadulterated, in their most original state. From the scenery, to the people and the governments in which they reside; this is truly life as it is, everywhere Nick takes us. It's these reasons why I feel that these videos will be referenced to by Historians of the future, in their attempts to piece together the past. Nick, I don't think you understand just how great and how appreciated you are to/by us and to time itself. You are doing a great job, not only documenting time, but by giving us your perspective in the times in which we are shown. I hope these words can show you just a small bit of what you mean to all of us and encourage you to continue your work, not only for us, but for time itself. Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight, my dear friend and thank you!
Thank you Nick! Be safe! ❤🙏 I to worry when don't see a video from you, but looks like you have good people around you to keep you safe! Thank you to Jose and Lenny 🙏
Very sobering video. It's important to get the real story out there so people are under no allusion of the severity of the situation in Venezuela. I can't imagine imagine how stressful each day is for the locals because I imagine you're constantly watching your back
Much needed VLOG, it is not always about luxury planes, hotels and expensive food ! An eye opener. I hope normalcy returns in lol these countries very soon .
Venezuelan here, just subscribed. You shoud have a TV Show and at least 10 million subscribers.
Thank you so much for this series. I'll go to Venezuela in two days and your videos are really helping me understand and prepare for my ten days trip.
these videos are absolutely stunning. Amazing job Nick
Ok here is the thing about the satalite TV. Direc-TV used to be CHEAP in Venezuela, almost everyone I knew had either Direc-TV or Cable. I grew up in a barrio and I had every single channel package available. When things started going bad it got more and more expensive. That is why you see satelite TV antennas all over the place. Yes, some people did steal them, but they are the minority.
I'm pretty sure if you steal someone's satellite equipment they will quit paying for the service rendering it useless
@@DougPodzun well aware of that, but they used to steal the satillite dishes because hey are made of aluminum so they melted them and sold them, not because they were going to use the dish. It would be useless without the decoder anyway.
Thank you for your unbiased, unpolitical, personal, compassionate, straightforward report. God bless you and protect you!
I used to think Venezuela is safe from your previous videos and thought what you meant by 'posible dangers'. After hearing the story, I can definitely see why its dangerous.
Very interesting videos - thanks for giving us a balanced view of what the situation is like there!
Appreciate it!
czcams.com/video/7Ar_JkeNEgk/video.html
Another great episode. And again, thank you for showing how we live in my country. Jose's story is indeed far too common, I've myself heard it numerous times in my life. We don't only have to cope with hyper-inflation and miserable salaries, we also have to literally survive street crime, kidnapping and violence.
Some regions of Venezuela are more dangerous than others, but crime is rife in the entire country.
I can see why this is overwhelming, but thank you for showing us the discrepancies - not just between different areas, but also between how things used to be, and how they are now. These stories are heartbreaking, but you showing us makes a difference because it raises our awareness of the reality of what’s going on. The people you’ve been showing us seem so nice and just doing the best they can. Jose’s story was crazy! So glad he and his girlfriend made it out safely. I can’t imagine going through all that and finding out it’s not even that uncommon. Thank you, Nick for showing us all of this. We need to see it. 💚
I've been living in the states 3 years now I'm venezuelan and my body is here in Miami but my mind is still back home .. thank you bless you

The way I see it, you are just putting a spotlight on the reality in Venezuela. There is nothing wrong with that. I am enjoying your videos from Venezuela a lot. Keep up the good work from wherever you are in your travels.
It almost shocks your senses to see the beauty of the country and the ugliness of poverty next to each other. Venezuela is a beautiful country with so many beautiful people, it's sad what is going on. People tend to look down on the homeless but I wonder how many of us, in our comfy houses, with electricity and running water safely in our home and tons of food and gas for the car, how many of us could survive in that environment without any government help??? I'm not sure I could. These are strong, smart people.
Thanks for your kind words. We have been through many difficult situations due to the political, economic and social crisis in our country. Covering food and medicine expenses is impossible. It's hard to be healthy today in Venezuela. Only those who have access to dollars can cover their daily expenses. Going to a medical checkup is expensive. Prices are dollarized and the minimum wage was increased from $ 2 (40,000 Bs) to $ 15 (300,000Bs) and is also insufficient to cover basic day-to-day expenses. A medcal checkup can cost from $ 15 to $ 20. More than the minimum wage. I have been spending my savings to take my mom to ophthalmologic checkups.She needs an intervention on her right eye as soon as possible. We have already been to 3 different checkups. Looking for different options and budgets. She needs to be operated and the operation costs $ 2000 that we obviously do not have. I had to start a gofundme campaign to ask for donations because we can't cover that expense. The situation of public hospitals is deplorable. There are no inputs to perform the operations. All supplies must be carried by patients. Supplies that are dollarized. Sometimes there are blackouts during operations and they must be postponed. We try to be resilent, to be generous with those who have less chance than us. Although sometimes it is hard and difficult to stay positive when living this situation. I hope the situation changes as soon as possible. We had never been through such a hard situation in my family. We had never had to ask for help to cover medical expenses. We had never had to sell our personal belongings to buy food. I hope that no other country goes through this situation. And if it's happening, get them out of it quickly.
Honestly man what you do is so cool. This is real journalism. Keep it up. It takes a special person to go into these environments.
I feel so saddened that my country is facing this. Thanks for showing it all, stay safe
Very important to show this reality. Thank you
I see why my Venezuelan neighbors say they will never go back to Venezuela. very sad.
Which Venezuelan neighbors? Chances are that they are from the super corrupt upper class there and support Guaido. These Venezuelans you run into here never represent most Venezuelans.
Fantastic video. I live in Costa Rica and so many of my neighbors are Venezolanos who have fled Venezuala . I've heard so many horror stories, it's hard to process. You my friend are doing the internet a great deed of transparency. Not to mention what a humble person you are !
Thanks once again for truly risking your safety to bring us this awesome video. 👍👍

Thank you very much for another video from one of the hardest places to be in the world right now very interesting content..
What really makes me feel sad is that there is a whole new generation that do not Know what was Venezuela before Chavez/Maduro, even though, obviously there was poverty and a huge gap between poor and rich, was a top country, I really hope it will came out of this dictatorship government..😔
Screw you, It is the same here in this country. but you are too blind to see it.
Never put your eggs in one basket. Your dependence on oil revenue has cooked your goose.
Likely 200 years, several generations...History.. Rectification of a dreadful mistake in Voting, takes virtually forever [or another Genghis Khan] to correct.
This video, as negative as it may look, didn’t make me lose my interest to visit Venezuela someday. I hope the country gets better so that tourists could come back. I hope to visit Venezuela when it’s more stable and safe.
If they had money from tourism certain areas of the country could be transformed. Its a catch22 tourist don't go because its a mess and unsafe and it cant be made safe because of lack of money which could come from visitors. Its needs investment not US santions. A beneficent and risk taking invester could potentially benefit with a long term plan because parts of the country are so beautiful.
Honestly speaking what was bad about this video? More than 1/3rd of the world currently lives significantly worse than this.

Loooool no, Venezuela could be somewhere in Africa and it would make more sense.
Whoa! Another amazing video with incite into the real world. Thank you so much for what you do. When my "bell" rings, I drop everything because I know that I will be more than entertained, I'll be informed. I hope at the end of the series, you'll do a wrap-up and give us your thoughts and perspective and analysis. Be safe, my friend.

@@osuave7811 Great video! As usual it's the greedy elite wanting more and more and more money, it never gets enough for them. 1% owning more than the rest of the world's population, now THAT'S a real problem! Money rules the world and that's the problem, always. Not certain ideologies. I hope the situation gets better soon there, and that it will be without any large companies, banks, Western governments and super-rich people exploiting it. They need the best leader for their own interests and people, not the best for the US/West.
