🔵 *Hope you are ready for this new series from Honduras,* it is definitely a heavy place, the people are very kind and fun people. Sadly, many of them are facing unimaginable hardships on a daily basis. Throughout this series, I hope to share with you a slice of their reality whilst visiting many areas of the country, the good, the bad and the ugly. If you want to see a photo I just posting on my Instagram of Honduras Capital city, you can see that here: instagram.com/p/CM9b3klFGCZ/ Thanks for watching and as always please share your feedback in a comment below. Nick 🇭🇳
You are one of the best proper investigative journalists of our time. I'm truly greatful for your effort, integrity and balance in everything you do. Thank you.
I am from Honduras and currently living here (dental student), I will not say that everything is fine , because it's not. Most of the facts are right. Its sad that our goverment is the worst, democracy does not work how its supposed to. Elections are always rigged by corrupt politicians and this always leads to more poverty, its a vicous cycle. Not only the less fourtunate want lo flee the country in hopes of a better life , but the middle class youth want leave and never come back. Its the sad truth. Like in any other country , locals know where its not safe to be , know that we have to be cautious when walking in public places etc etc, but overall its safe to say we don't all live in constant fear (I can't speak for everyone). So im actually impressed that you visted some hot spots that most locals would never, but that's our reality. Thanks for visiting our country I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. Besides our sad circumstances im proud to be a Honduran and pray for a better future for our country in hopes that younger generations will overcome the corrupt system.
@Le Semen Demon Did you not read the part she says that she still lives there? Stop generalizing that all of us are leaving in the caravans, she’s a student in Honduras. Most people who leave don’t have any economic funds to survive a day, they are mostly part of the poor population. You sound ignorant.
You just spoke the truth I honestly feel more safe in San Pedro than what I do here in Houston TX...Houston there is homicides all the time and robberies
@@jaciaaron2977 yes it is, don’t be naive. I lived there for two years, nowhere is safe except major tourist areas like La Ceiba. I loved the country and the people but it isn’t safe, I highly recommend avoiding it for now:
@@JonathanVachon777 It seems these days the majority of television journalists go out to show a specific topic already knowing which way they are going to spin it and try to exaggerate it as much as possible without putting anything in context, just for for shock value. It's all about the ratings. That's why this channel is so refreshing, he puts his pre-conceptions aside and just has real conversations and asks real questions.
And why should we see this??? Trying to raise support for a foreign country? Americans don't care about these people's problems and we don't want to pay their bills for them. If you're so upset for them you send them your paycheck. Instead of trying to trick idiots to support dumbocrat voting lists.
I think everyone in the world already knows life is a struggle everywhere. Except of course for pretty rich boys traveling the world to flirt with danger for clout online. *cue the dubstep*
@@ross8474 I'd feel sorry to be another brainwashed American thinking you can't be happy and free anywhere else but in the states...the world's a big place buddy
My family is from Honduras. I was born in USA and have been to Honduras plenty of time to visit family. Never felt unsafe in San Pedro Sula so I agree it really depends on what you do and where you go. I’m excited for the rest of the videos!
Agreed. I'm currently visiting honduras since my parents are from there. It's my last day and im am extremely thankful for every second of it. San Pedro Sula is quite beautiful judging by my short visit to it then moving to my final destination. Honduras is not all bad. I hope it gets better and safer in these dangerous parts.
Yes!! I have been to SPS when ir was named the most dangerous city In the world and when it got better. I was also leaving the country for the military coup. Unless you are there doing anything stupid then you will be fine. In fact if you go as a tourist that it will be one of the best experiences of your life
For the record, I lived in Honduras (just outside San Pedro Sula) for 5 years and never had any issues with violence or feeling unsafe. Honduras is a beautiful country and safe if you stay out of the areas you should not be (like every other country). The people are amazing and helpful to foreigners and you are far more likely to be helped as you travel than feel uncomfortable. Please don't let this video put you off Honduras, it is not a reflection of what life is like for foreigners in Honduras.
Indigo Traveller's documentation during keeps getting better and better every series. Also, doing good things for these places bringing attention to them. Stay safe though!
As a follower of both channels, it's interesting to see the correlation between a clearly collapsing global economy, the onslaught of natural disasters, the health crisis and migration. We are clearly in deep trouble everywhere.
Hey David!!!!! Come here for some truth? Surprised but not surprised Truth finds Truth and birds of a feather and all that! Love your work it’s helped me for four five years now!
I am midway through this video and I realize a common theme throughout all of indigo traveller's documentaries is that people just want to be heard and they want peace. La paz. Honestly. This is devastating to view and simultaneously grounding to see how resilient people are or can be. Thanks for sharing this insight. Cheers.
I went to Honduras this year pretty much anywhere in a road trip during couple weeks , some parts can be sketchy, if you do the right thing , you won’t get in trouble like anywhere else in the world ! People are amazing despite of all things going on out there , these people are strong!!Thank you for sharing Indigo , I look forward to watch more !
As a Honduran, I thank you for your braveness to come into my country. I know that for people from abroad it's a tough choice to make. Furthermore, showing the world what's happening in Honduras is a major thing because media is bought by the powered people and don't show reality in a daily basis. My take as a San Pedro's citizen, is that if you get the luck to be born in a middle class family you would have the opportunity to grow to some extent, however, for people that have grown in poor neighbourhoods will be almost impossible to get a better quality life. We the people of Honduras need to make a change in our communities and culture, from low class up to the highest. At last, it's a chance of improvement for all of us. Be a better Honduran, help us each other, don't skip the line or go through a red stop. We Hondurans know that we have to make those decisions as citizens, there is a lot of people that criticize the government which is truth, they are one of the major reasons we are in this situation. Nevertheless, we need to start also judging ourselves as citizens. How good are we with our own communities. I hope the best for my country, I hope corruption ends, which I think in order to do so, we have to start educating ourselves outside of the government system which give us pretty much nothing to open our minds or have the opportunity to analyze. Let's rebel ourselves with mentality. “Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.” G.O.
I'm not sure why you consider SEA a dangerous place. SEA is very safe, their murder rate is lower than most of American countries, maybe with the exception of the Philippines. SEA as a region only lags behind East Asia, Oceania and Europe.
To my friends I’m like the most well traveled man in the world but when I watch this channel I feel like I don’t have a single stamp in my passport. What a legend you are, keep bringing us the real news that’s rarely shared with us from the sources we’re supposed to trust.
am from San pedro Sula and I've been staying here for 7 years but i heard of the Rivera Hernandez so it was a fun learning fact and its a better exchange money rate in the bank than the black street market thank you for representing my country. Big fan of yours! be safe
You're so great at what you do nick, visiting places with huge issues but making sure the focus remains on the place and its people (and not you, the RUclipsr) . You facilitate the story telling us a respectful and dignified manner, which is so important. Thank you for allowing us to see what life is like in these places.
Years ago, before I went to Mexico city, I was terrified because of what i read, but then I went there and found the most warm and welcoming people, the point is, if you go looking for trouble, you find it, if not , its wonderful, enjoy your travels.
Thank you for making this video and showing the hard but true reality of my country. As a Honduran who lives in Honduras it hurts me to no end to see my country bleeding. Thank you again for this video ❤️
@Schuyler Jones las escuelas públicas (las del gobierno) son muy malas, pésima infraestructura y educación. Sin embargo, hay muchas escuelas privadas y bilingues, que son excelentes.
@@jussiuutaniemi3767 Honduras is a beautiful five star country. Is a country with so much potential and beauty, sadly corruption it also a big part of the reality of my country. You should totally come, I'm sure you are going to love it.
Spent almost a month in Honduras, never felt unsafe. Didn’t go out at night, and paid attention to my surroundings. A lot of poverty, but the people were decent, respectful and humble.
I lived there for a year when I was 18 (in Danlí). Its dangerous if you hang out with the wrong people or go in the wrong neighborhoods. Warmest people on earth and so beautiful, corruption is a dick.
This is where my dad is from and I always daydream of moving there.... but then not really because I know I’m lucky to be in the USA. Please post as much as you can about this country!! The fact that this is so current is legit blowing my mind. It’s like I was meant to find this video! Can’t wait to see more.
I mean you could still stay around there on the Atlantic side even if it’s not San Pedro Sula. The Bay Islands like Roatán is peaceful & touristy with minimal crime. My ex has family from all over the Atlantic side. Most spoke English as a first language or a 2nd language. They always felt safe there even though a lot of them spent most of their lives in the US. It’s safe to say most islands off the coast of Central America are safer than the mainland (like Belize & Nicaragua).
@@eliv.o7105 Have you been to the country? If not, then I recommend you to stop commenting if you’re not even informed on the current situation of the country and the past events that have caused it to drown in corruption. Watching a documentary or news is not “ knowing the country” This country has suffered a lot, call it a “dump” or whatever you want but at least they continue fighting to someday hopefully gain justice for the destruction the politicians have made.
Your nationality has saved your skin numerous times, Nick. As a Kiwi, you pose no threat or danger, as those who hear that you’re from New Zealand are puzzled and unsure how to react. If you were from the US, then that may provoke aggression from those who are not so friendly to the Stars and Stripes. Go well and keep showing that friendly Kiwi wherever you go!
This view is true. Americans will find themselves unwelcome in many latinamerican regions because of the awful perception some people have of the USA government and corporations. You can´t imagine what goes on behind-the-scenes in order to shoot some scenes by our friendly Kiwi. It´s not simple as it seems. So, most people who don´t speak the language should avoid visiting certain nations or regions just because THEY feel friendly toward other nationals. Stay were your feel safe and have access to all you need.
I'm from Honduras, but I don't think anyone would hurt him if he were American. They ask him if he is American because of his physical appearance because he actually looks like one. I have seen some Americans with their Protestant churches living in Honduras.
really? i never felt threatened in any places i went in central america because i was american. i traveled as a solo female and most reactions were asking why i was alone/where was my husband. nothing to do with america. i think that's a weird generalization. just don't be a dick and you won't get treated like one.
I traveled to Honduras in 1996. I was a young backpacker and a bit oblivious to the element of danger there. I spent a week on Utila, one of the Bay Islands, and traveled along the coast and into the interior where I did some hiking in a national park (and almost stepped on a deadly coral snake!). Coming from Guatemala, I visited the spectacular Mayan ruins of Copan, then headed to San Pedro Sula. I honestly didn't know how dangerous it was and I think being a bit oblivious to all of that was actually good, otherwise I may never have gone to Honduras and experienced the warmth of the people and beautiful scenery. There were a couple of times that I didn't feel safe and managed to get back to my cheap hotel room. I should probably say that I have a lot of experience traveling through "third world" countries where poverty and crime rates are high and was born in Venezuela, back when Venezuela was a relatively safe place to live. But I feel comfortable exploring such places although now that I'm older I am more cautious...
Subscribed! As an immigrant from Honduras I thank you for attempting to shed light on the terrible corruption that plagues the world, specially felt in my homeland, thank you!
Do you think that the common population has to do lots on how the country is the way it is? Hondurans have a bad rep in Guatemala and El Salvador and here in Canada, within the Latin community they have a bad rep too...violent and don’t like to work? Why is that?
@@eliv.o7105 Because of the caravans. The caravans are usually filled with immigrants from many countries from Latin America, specially Central American countries and Mexico. However, recently a lot of Hondurans have left the countries in those caravans because of the current situation of the country, if you know, the government is terrible, it’s a drug trafficking government that steals, kills and doesn’t care for their people. The people of the caravans are consisted of the poor population of those countries. Most of them run away because they are the most affected economically and socially. After the hurricanes many of them were left with nothing, multiple people died, and the government did absolutely nothing. We hate the president, he’s probably the worst president in the entire planet. He’s managed to destroy the country and drown it in corruption, poverty and violence in a lapse of just a few years. I just want you to be aware, that regardless of what reputation these people have, not all the country is like these. Honduras is a country that has endured a lot, but a lot of people still work hard everyday to make it better. There are hardworking, honorable and humble people, just as there are bad and lazy people. I guess it’s a generalization, but I really dislike that. It’s a very ignorant view, it’s like saying Mexicans and Colombians are all drug traffickers, Venezuelans are all criminals, it’s a very ignorant way of thinking, because I know people from this country who have sacrificed their life to give their family and kids a better life (legally) and to call all people from a nationality lazy or something else, it’s insulting. That’s my rant, hope you understood something at least.
@@eliv.o7105 The problem is not the Honduran people and culture. All it's problems are due absolutely to a corrupt government. You see, in 2009 we had a growing economy and the country was overall becoming more safe. But, USA took away our President, this because he was allied with Hugo Chavez. Since then, our presidents have been USA puppet for USA interests despite how cartoonishly corrupt they are.
@@eliv.o7105 we have enough proof of USA institutions stopping vote counting and ordering to declare a candidate who clearly din't won. I recommend a research on Luis Almagro for more accurate information.
@@leeloo2071 He says that because whoever has had touch with houndurians knows they don't like to work. 50 percent of them, which is too much, obviously not everyone. The caravans are mostly from Honduras, some form el Salvador and Nicaragua and finally just a very few ones from Guatemala.
I love how balanced you portray countries it gets a much more realistic view of the actual situations much better than mass media or many youtubers, love Ho duras coffee and love to their people!
@@giowrld3boss308 No, it's cheaper and easier to get. A lot of youth in Sudanese refugee camps, for example, sniff glue because that's all they can get their hands on.
I’m obsessed with his documentaries! They are so professional and I love the way they are edited. Nick asks great questions and I love his personality & demeanor…he’s a great listener & never forces his opinions or beliefs on others. It doesn’t hurt that he’s nice to look at and has that cute accent;-) I hope he keeps traveling it up…for those of us who can’t travel to these dangerous places, thank you for doing it!! Everyone should watch these, especially spoiled westerners (I may sometimes feel like one ha)
My family is from El Salvador and they have very similar problems to Honduras. I think you're one of the first youtubers I see go to Central America and talk about these problems
@@IndigoTraveller I’m like 50% Honduran and mixed with other ethnic groups in Honduras but my Mom would tell story’s about her going to school in Honduras and what it was like so i watched this video and i now know what it’s about because of this video
Goodness, your driver losing his wife and son then going through the hurricanes. Heartbreaking! I can imagine that this series might be a controversal one when it comes to the people from Honduras (and other countries) trying to migrate to the United States. I am an Amereican (now living in Norway) and have many family members and friends who are so against the people trying to migrate there. But others (like me) see exactly why they are doing it and have empathy and compassion for them. If more people saw these videos and saw why they want to leave behind maybe they would have a little more understanding of why they feel the need to leave their country. I feel that your vlogs are right up there with the National Geographic videos. Keep up the good work and please be safe. Hugs from Norway!
What's Norway's policy on migrants? How many asylum seekers have Norway admitted over the past 10 years? What policies & programs does Norway have in place to assimilate migrants? What share of migrants comes from poor countries vs. developed countries (eg Spain)?
@@taterkaze9428 I have lived here for almost 19 years. I moved here to marry my Norwegian husband so I do not know all the answers you are asking. There are many immigrants and refugees and asylum seekers in Norway. I don't know the exact numbers, but it is a lot. Everyone that moves to Norway is given the chance to go to the language school to learn Norwegian for free. Most of the refugees/alylum seekers are from the Middle East and from Africa, mostly Somalia. As a matter of fact, our next door neighbors are a family of 9 from Somalia. The country tries to intregrate them into society with Norwegians.
Been coming to Honduras since 2008 and living here for 7 years. I have travelled all over this country. Sure, there is danger here, but 90% of the country is safe and peaceful. I have never felt fearful for my life here, never!
@baileyboy73 baileyboy73 you're wife is probably from the hood, but now she got a sugar daddy, doesn't have to go back to the hood where she came out of.
Lot of respect for you nick. Its easy to travel to safe countries and mKe documentaries but your going to places many avoid! Watching from Ireland.respect !
This guy is showing a town that was hit by two hurricanes at the end of last year, he wasn't interested in showing the nice part of Honduras. Honduras has nice hallways all over the country, just check CA 5 honduras , look it's capital Tegucigalpa etc
Thank you for visiting and giving people perspective so they can make their own choices. Honduras is a beautiful place and most of the crime happens in neighborhoods the tourist would never visit anyway. Be safe
😭😭😭💔💔 I was there a couple years ago I was 22 on a mission trip to a children’s village in Tegucigalpita. The conditions were terrible there extreme poverty, gangs, violence. To see how much conditions have worsened since I was there especially from the hurricanes I am absolutely heartbroken these people have lost everything Oh Lord help these people!!!🙏🙏🙏✝️😭
Nick, yet again your going that extra mile to cover country’s in need, full respect from England for your continued independent journalism from places such as Honduras, you’ve covered many tough places in the past, good luck with this one, and god bless the people of Honduras. 🙏
Man, thank you for showing the world to us while we are on lockdown. Truly an eye opener. Hopefully you can go and visit us soon here in the Philippines. Keep safe
I visited it back in 2019 despite it’s troubles it’s a really beautiful country with great people but he’s not wrong it had a very edgy vibe the whole time I was there, their was an unfortunate level of danger
In the USA there are mass shootings everyday you could die anywhere including in a massage parlor or in a movie theater . Don't tell me Honduras in dangerous
In the 1970s it was a wonderful, safe place to visit and vacation esp Tegucigalpa and Lake Aqua Azul. Now, it's a war zone. Sad to see the people there suffer so much. Thank you for your report. I hope and pray they can see better times in the future.
That is my country. I would recommend you to visit the tourist places that I assure you will surprise you a lot but I think it is a very good thing that you teach the world the reality in which my people live. I am Honduran, I hope and you enjoy my country.🇭🇳
Yeah I remember those hurricanes, they were all over the news cuz previously there were two other hurricanes that hit Mexico so people were worried if those other two would come to Mexico but they only hit Honduras and El Salvador but much harder than the Mexican hurricanes.
@Tropical Breeze2000 sons will suffer the sins of the father. we spent years destabalizing Latin America and its finally starting to bite us back in the ass . its pretty much an open border now..
@Tropical Breeze2000 yup. See the effects in my own town. Schools overcrowded with a budget that is stretched to the breaking point bc of the ESL teachers that have to be kept on staff to teach remedial English and our little hospital is on the verge of bankruptcy bc of the insane amount of uninsured migrants that use the emergency room for everything. They're supposed to be reimbursed by the fed but the money is tied up in bureaucratic bullshit so it takes forever to reach their coffers. The u.s. will see a split in the next 20 or so years I believe bc this is not sustainable.
You have a Honduran Follower here! Honduras Is a beautiful country with amazing places where you can go, The food is delicious, people are so kind. The problem is that the government is trash and they kept the money by them self and the people don’t get help. If you have a job you’re bless, but obviously you’re getting 5-10 dollar a day. I recommend you to go places out of the big cities, everything is more peaceful.
Hey! You probably won't read this but I just want to say that I'm very thankful that you're making these video's and visit lesser known areas so we can get a realistic impression on them.
Very enlightening. Thank you for going to Honduras and sharing. I have to say I just yesterday drove past (twice, on the way to and back from my destination) the supermarket where 10 people were shot and killed almost a week ago in Colorado, USA. I can see the suffering in Honduras, and how vulnerable people are. But it’s not like the US is so great either when we can’t safely shop in a supermarket. It’s true that it was not organized crime that did this here. But I was struck that there was shock at six people were killed in the city center there and reflecting on how 10 were just killed this past week not far from where I live. We truly live in a violent world - I’m thankful for kindness amongst the violence as is shown in this video. 🙏🏼
Your best video so far! Very well filmed, edited and overall produced. The Honduran people seem very warm and caring. Probably an excellent country to visit if and when this Covid nonsense comes to an end.
Algo que tal vez no sepas, pero durante los huracanes Eta y Iota, se hicieron obras de caridad por el pueblo hondureño. El gobierno no aporto tanto como la propia gente, yo puedo decir que fui ayudar a repartir comida y ropa, sinceramente fue algo que te deja pensando en lo privilegiado que uno puede llegar a ser. Edit; se me olvido agregar, en las obras realizadas por varios ciudadanos se podia escuchar el canto de “Solo el pueblo salva al pueblo.”
I am from Honduras, I never felt as much love towards my country as the others... I was raised with the thought that one day I will live in another country. Honduras has a lot of potential to be a great place but sadly is not, maybe someday things will get better
As a Honduran myself I want to thank you for covering my beautiful country I can to the states very young and don’t really know the country and this is awesome and eye opening very sad to see my people living like that breaks my heart. Your journalism is appropriated, you’re awesome 👏🏼
It's "Jesus De Otoro". One of the sleepyest towns in Honduras. I've been there many times. No problems. You were with the US Army, that says a lot. I was with the US Air Force and now I'm a retired civilian living in Honduras. As US military members, we were greatly protected so nothing would happen to us, which would bring unwanted attention to our presence and get our commanders fired; and part of that protection was to warn us that every place in this country was dangerous - hence the going out after dark restrictions. I still comply with that as much as possible. But, I'd be doing the same in New York, Miami, and LA. Better to be safe than sorry.
Ok, well, I'm here in Honduras right now and I go out at night all the time. Honduras is no different than the USA. I would never go alone in the Southside of Chicago. There are areas of danger here in Honduras, but 90% of it is perfectly safe.
Saludos cordiales desde Europa a toda la fantástica gente de Honduras! 💜💕💜 Nací & crecí en Maracaibo, Venezuela, pero ahora vivo en Europa porque mi mamá es finlandesa 🇫🇮 Desde el fondo de mi corazón, deseo mejores tiempos para Honduras 💜💜 Ustedes se lo merecen! Te mando muchos abrazos a todos 💜💕💜
Watching this video I can't help but think a lot of the violence and carnage in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala goes back to the disastrous foreign policy of the Reagan Administration.
Partially, along with the U.S. deporting MS-13 and Barrio 18 gang members back to Central America and the U.S.'s support for military dictatorships and genocidal warlords which further destabilized the region.
Problems in nations south of our border goes all the way back to the fifties and our Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles. The term Banana Republic arose from our colonial and imperialist interventions and policies starting (but not ending) with United Fruit. Gun running, dope dealing, terrorist militia supporting Reagan was carrying on a long established legacy of negative US intervention in Central and South American nations. Those nations are plantations for one percenters in the US. Our government has long supported the exploitation of the people and resources in Central and South America, and sides with corrupt RW governments.
I am just addicted to your videos and your humble assessment of the countries and people you visit - the insights into life on the ground are not like most others on RUclips who often just fool around. Easy transition to a career in journalism when / if you have had enough of the travels (but please don't stop anytime soon!)
Then stop watching American news + American agenda of black vs white, man vs woman ... And focus your attention into real topic and real knowledge, there is so much to learn about this world
Really looking forward to this series, Nick. I've watched most of your series (they're great!) and often wondered whether you'd eventually get to Honduras - I lived there for 2 years from 2014-16 and worked as a teacher in the Lake Yojoa area. I'm really hoping you managed to get to that part of the country in a later episode. Honduras is a wonderful country with great people and so much incredible natural scenery and wildlife. I'm hoping your series will reflect those positives, as well as highlighting the clear issues that exist there as well. In terms of safety, I personally never felt in any danger whatsoever during my time there - whether I was out and about in the local community, on public transport or visiting the big cities. However, I did quite frequently hear stories of crimes committed against friends of friends, or acquaintances of friends, relatives of students at my school etc, so although never directly affected it was clear that bad things were happening in the background. My theory was that as 'gringos' we were generally left alone, although of course you shouldn't ever lower your guard or go looking for trouble. I live in hope that the potential the country clearly has can one day be realised - the vast majority of people there deserve far better
You’re so sweet, thank you. I wish better for my country too, the government has sadly been destroying it slowly, so I wish for the situation to get better in the future and hopefully people will see the beauty of it. Have a good day :)
SUCH A SICK INTRO!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 Glad you made it out alive, man! My cousin went to San Pedro Sula many years ago on his way to the Bay Islands and had no idea what he was getting himself into. (He saw how much closer and cheaper it was to fly into SPS than Tugucigalpa and figured what the heck.)
Wow men thanxs for this amazing vídeo of my City i lived here in Sps, welcome i hope u like it, and is not than dangerous as all people think.. If u are a good person of course, take care men! Hope to see more soon
I've noticed in all these countries, the good people are the best people you will find, amazing people. And the bad people are as evil as you will find. No middle ground.
@@Killswitch1411 I agree and disagree.. let the good people in, if it is for the right reason, but let's not just accept the contents of other countries prison systems..
@@darrenburns123 But people have to understand is countries can't have a endless flow of people coming into their countries.. Resources are limited. jobs are limited, a huge influx of migrants puts huge strains on communities. Its frustrating, seeing the shit these people go through but its also frustrating opening the flood gates and there is no accountability for breaking laws.
It's amazing what you are doing just to show us the "not-so-touristy" places on earth. How do you cope with that mentally? I mean, you were in several places in the past few month that were anything but safe and sound. Do you struggle sometimes? Do you worry about your own safety?
You raise an interesting point, I never considered the impact on mental wellbeing. I've always been concerned about physical wellbeing. i work in qualitative research, researching health inequity. At times, depending on the nature of the research question, the job comes with exposure to secondhand trauma. As part of job safety, and perhaps working in a first world country (new Zealand) I'm fortunate to have access to health professionals that help me to process some of the experiences participants share (most related to childhood adversity, abuse of all types). So, I'd like to know what he does to keep well...
Mental health is something I have to apply necessarily discipline to working in such environments regularly. Health, exercise wellness and good people are key to keep balance personally speaking. Thank you for watching.
This guy when he visits a dangerous place i just pray that he goes back home safely! He is literally risking his life to expose such places to us! Be safe pal!
Hands down the best vlogger on RUclips! Your presentation and editing skills are superb! Journalistic approach is a force to be proud of! Thanks for your great work in teaching the world about the rest of the world. Your efforts are certainly selfless. Blessings to you!
@@MOBHITMOBHIT ohhhhhhhh yes I never thought about that.. Its really sad to see these beautiful countries with so much poverty and sadness. It is all brought about by design by these ruthless elites in political power on purpose.
@@customtoggle7938 Japan has money because of their ingenuity and sweat equity... Here’s a little factoid for you. They rebuilt themselves after getting nuked... TWICE. So, no excuses for anyone else.

🔵 *Hope you are ready for this new series from Honduras,* it is definitely a heavy place, the people are very kind and fun people. Sadly, many of them are facing unimaginable hardships on a daily basis.

You are one of the best proper investigative journalists of our time. I'm truly greatful for your effort, integrity and balance in everything you do. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
@@IndigoTraveller I mean it :)
Agree. Doing the job the media doesn’t do. Don’t even bother watching television anymore. Really appreciate what you do Nick!
Totally agree... The dude shows the good bad and indifferent, the way it should be.. 🏴🏴🏴🏴
Agreed
I am from Honduras and currently living here (dental student), I will not say that everything is fine , because it's not. Most of the facts are right. Its sad that our goverment is the worst, democracy does not work how its supposed to. Elections are always rigged by corrupt politicians and this always leads to more poverty, its a vicous cycle. Not only the less fourtunate want lo flee the country in hopes of a better life , but the middle class youth want leave and never come back. Its the sad truth.
Like in any other country , locals know where its not safe to be , know that we have to be cautious when walking in public places etc etc, but overall its safe to say we don't all live in constant fear (I can't speak for everyone). So im actually impressed that you visted some hot spots that most locals would never, but that's our reality.
Thanks for visiting our country I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us. Besides our sad circumstances im proud to be a Honduran and pray for a better future for our country in hopes that younger generations will overcome the corrupt system.

Indigo Travellers journalism is top quality, and the stories that he shows the world are not only important, but they're also an eye opener.
For the record, I lived in Honduras (just outside San Pedro Sula) for 5 years and never had any issues with violence or feeling unsafe. Honduras is a beautiful country and safe if you stay out of the areas you should not be (like every other country). The people are amazing and helpful to foreigners and you are far more likely to be helped as you travel than feel uncomfortable. Please don't let this video put you off Honduras, it is not a reflection of what life is like for foreigners in Honduras.
I wouldn't go there I mite be robbed and killed

💜💜🌏🇭🇳
As a Honduran, I thank you for your braveness to come into my country. I know that for people from abroad it's a tough choice to make. Furthermore, showing the world what's happening in Honduras is a major thing because media is bought by the powered people and don't show reality in a daily basis.
My take as a San Pedro's citizen, is that if you get the luck to be born in a middle class family you would have the opportunity to grow to some extent, however, for people that have grown in poor neighbourhoods will be almost impossible to get a better quality life.
We the people of Honduras need to make a change in our communities and culture, from low class up to the highest. At last, it's a chance of improvement for all of us. Be a better Honduran, help us each other, don't skip the line or go through a red stop. We Hondurans know that we have to make those decisions as citizens, there is a lot of people that criticize the government which is truth, they are one of the major reasons we are in this situation. Nevertheless, we need to start also judging ourselves as citizens. How good are we with our own communities.
I hope the best for my country, I hope corruption ends, which I think in order to do so, we have to start educating ourselves outside of the government system which give us pretty much nothing to open our minds or have the opportunity to analyze.
Let's rebel ourselves with mentality.

Check out my peace corps videos. I lived in Honduras for three years
I mean you could still stay around there on the Atlantic side even if it’s not San Pedro Sula. The Bay Islands like Roatán is peaceful & touristy with minimal crime. My ex has family from all over the Atlantic side. Most spoke English as a first language or a 2nd language. They always felt safe there even though a lot of them spent most of their lives in the US. It’s safe to say most islands off the coast of Central America are safer than the mainland (like Belize & Nicaragua).
Honduras is dump unless you go to the islands..
@@eliv.o7105 Have you been to the country? If not, then I recommend you to stop commenting if you’re not even informed on the current situation of the country and the past events that have caused it to drown in corruption.

Your nationality has saved your skin numerous times, Nick. As a Kiwi, you pose no threat or danger, as those who hear that you’re from New Zealand are puzzled and unsure how to react. If you were from the US, then that may provoke aggression from those who are not so friendly to the Stars and Stripes. Go well and keep showing that friendly Kiwi wherever you go!
This view is true. Americans will find themselves unwelcome in many latinamerican regions because of the awful perception some people have of the USA government and corporations. You can´t imagine what goes on behind-the-scenes in order to shoot some scenes by our friendly Kiwi. It´s not simple as it seems. So, most people who don´t speak the language should avoid visiting certain nations or regions just because THEY feel friendly toward other nationals. Stay were your feel safe and have access to all you need.

I love you greets
I traveled to Honduras in 1996. I was a young backpacker and a bit oblivious to the element of danger there. I spent a week on Utila, one of the Bay Islands, and traveled along the coast and into the interior where I did some hiking in a national park (and almost stepped on a deadly coral snake!). Coming from Guatemala, I visited the spectacular Mayan ruins of Copan, then headed to San Pedro Sula. I honestly didn't know how dangerous it was and I think being a bit oblivious to all of that was actually good, otherwise I may never have gone to Honduras and experienced the warmth of the people and beautiful scenery. There were a couple of times that I didn't feel safe and managed to get back to my cheap hotel room. I should probably say that I have a lot of experience traveling through "third world" countries where poverty and crime rates are high and was born in Venezuela, back when Venezuela was a relatively safe place to live. But I feel comfortable exploring such places although now that I'm older I am more cautious...
Subscribed! As an immigrant from Honduras I thank you for attempting to shed light on the terrible corruption that plagues the world, specially felt in my homeland, thank you!
Do you think that the common population has to do lots on how the country is the way it is? Hondurans have a bad rep in Guatemala and El Salvador and here in Canada, within the Latin community they have a bad rep too...violent and don’t like to work? Why is that?
@@eliv.o7105 Because of the caravans. The caravans are usually filled with immigrants from many countries from Latin America, specially Central American countries and Mexico. However, recently a lot of Hondurans have left the countries in those caravans because of the current situation of the country, if you know, the government is terrible, it’s a drug trafficking government that steals, kills and doesn’t care for their people. The people of the caravans are consisted of the poor population of those countries. Most of them run away because they are the most affected economically and socially. After the hurricanes many of them were left with nothing, multiple people died, and the government did absolutely nothing. We hate the president, he’s probably the worst president in the entire planet. He’s managed to destroy the country and drown it in corruption, poverty and violence in a lapse of just a few years. I just want you to be aware, that regardless of what reputation these people have, not all the country is like these. Honduras is a country that has endured a lot, but a lot of people still work hard everyday to make it better. There are hardworking, honorable and humble people, just as there are bad and lazy people. I guess it’s a generalization, but I really dislike that. It’s a very ignorant view, it’s like saying Mexicans and Colombians are all drug traffickers, Venezuelans are all criminals, it’s a very ignorant way of thinking, because I know people from this country who have sacrificed their life to give their family and kids a better life (legally) and to call all people from a nationality lazy or something else, it’s insulting. That’s my rant, hope you understood something at least.
@@eliv.o7105 The problem is not the Honduran people and culture.
All it's problems are due absolutely to a corrupt government.
You see, in 2009 we had a growing economy and the country was overall becoming more safe.
But, USA took away our President, this because he was allied with Hugo Chavez.
Since then, our presidents have been USA puppet for USA interests despite how cartoonishly corrupt they are.
@@eliv.o7105 we have enough proof of USA institutions stopping vote counting and ordering to declare a candidate who clearly din't won.
I recommend a research on Luis Almagro for more accurate information.
@@leeloo2071 He says that because whoever has had touch with houndurians knows they don't like to work. 50 percent of them, which is too much, obviously not everyone. The caravans are mostly from Honduras, some form el Salvador and Nicaragua and finally just a very few ones from Guatemala.

Goodness, your driver losing his wife and son then going through the hurricanes. Heartbreaking! I can imagine that this series might be a controversal one when it comes to the people from Honduras (and other countries) trying to migrate to the United States. I am an Amereican (now living in Norway) and have many family members and friends who are so against the people trying to migrate there. But others (like me) see exactly why they are doing it and have empathy and compassion for them. If more people saw these videos and saw why they want to leave behind maybe they would have a little more understanding of why they feel the need to leave their country. I feel that your vlogs are right up there with the National Geographic videos. Keep up the good work and please be safe. Hugs from Norway!
What's Norway's policy on migrants? How many asylum seekers have Norway admitted over the past 10 years? What policies & programs does Norway have in place to assimilate migrants? What share of migrants comes from poor countries vs. developed countries (eg Spain)?
Exactly! Its so sad but its partly the blame on the honduras government,
@@taterkaze9428 I have lived here for almost 19 years. I moved here to marry my Norwegian husband so I do not know all the answers you are asking. There are many immigrants and refugees and asylum seekers in Norway. I don't know the exact numbers, but it is a lot. Everyone that moves to Norway is given the chance to go to the language school to learn Norwegian for free. Most of the refugees/alylum seekers are from the Middle East and from Africa, mostly Somalia. As a matter of fact, our next door neighbors are a family of 9 from Somalia. The country tries to intregrate them into society with Norwegians.

Very enlightening. Thank you for going to Honduras and sharing. I have to say I just yesterday drove past (twice, on the way to and back from my destination) the supermarket where 10 people were shot and killed almost a week ago in Colorado, USA. I can see the suffering in Honduras, and how vulnerable people are. But it’s not like the US is so great either when we can’t safely shop in a supermarket. It’s true that it was not organized crime that did this here. But I was struck that there was shock at six people were killed in the city center there and reflecting on how 10 were just killed this past week not far from where I live. We truly live in a violent world - I’m thankful for kindness amongst the violence as is shown in this video. 🙏🏼
Your best video so far! Very well filmed, edited and overall produced. The Honduran people seem very warm and caring. Probably an excellent country to visit if and when this Covid nonsense comes to an end.
Algo que tal vez no sepas, pero durante los huracanes Eta y Iota, se hicieron obras de caridad por el pueblo hondureño. El gobierno no aporto tanto como la propia gente, yo puedo decir que fui ayudar a repartir comida y ropa, sinceramente fue algo que te deja pensando en lo privilegiado que uno puede llegar a ser.
Edit; se me olvido agregar, en las obras realizadas por varios ciudadanos se podia escuchar el canto de “Solo el pueblo salva al pueblo.”
I am from Honduras, I never felt as much love towards my country as the others... I was raised with the thought that one day I will live in another country.
Honduras has a lot of potential to be a great place but sadly is not, maybe someday things will get better
As a Honduran myself I want to thank you for covering my beautiful country I can to the states very young and don’t really know the country and this is awesome and eye opening very sad to see my people living like that breaks my heart. Your journalism is appropriated, you’re awesome 👏🏼
You are a beautiful Honduran
Was in Jesus Del Toro, Honduras in 1998 building a schools with the US Army. Even then, they told us not to go out after dark in a that small town
It's "Jesus De Otoro". One of the sleepyest towns in Honduras. I've been there many times. No problems. You were with the US Army, that says a lot. I was with the US Air Force and now I'm a retired civilian living in Honduras. As US military members, we were greatly protected so nothing would happen to us, which would bring unwanted attention to our presence and get our commanders fired; and part of that protection was to warn us that every place in this country was dangerous - hence the going out after dark restrictions. I still comply with that as much as possible. But, I'd be doing the same in New York, Miami, and LA. Better to be safe than sorry.
Ok, well, I'm here in Honduras right now and I go out at night all the time. Honduras is no different than the USA. I would never go alone in the Southside of Chicago. There are areas of danger here in Honduras, but 90% of it is perfectly safe.
,@@johnrrosario every place in this country is dangerous, what a joke! Bald-faced lie!
The Host was really nice!! what a chill dude :)
Imagine being a resident and having that flood mess up your life. So sad to see the state of those houses.
I don't blame these people wanting to move to the us but the goverment on honduras is so corrupt that they don't care about their people.
New Orleans after Katrina was probably the worst
@@californiahunter5136 okay , but these people are already poor , so what is your point ? Plus the US helps their people soooo ?
Honduras has many beautiful places, and a lot of caring and humble people, but faces so many difficulties it breaks my heart.
Saludos cordiales desde Europa a toda la fantástica gente de Honduras! 💜💕💜 Nací & crecí en Maracaibo, Venezuela, pero ahora vivo en Europa porque mi mamá es finlandesa 🇫🇮 Desde el fondo de mi corazón, deseo mejores tiempos para Honduras 💜💜 Ustedes se lo merecen! Te mando muchos abrazos a todos 💜💕💜
Muchas gracias tenia un amigo de Venezuela pero no se que le paso): era mi mejor mia amigo
Watching this video I can't help but think a lot of the violence and carnage in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala goes back to the disastrous foreign policy of the Reagan Administration.
Partially, along with the U.S. deporting MS-13 and Barrio 18 gang members back to Central America and the U.S.'s support for military dictatorships and genocidal warlords which further destabilized the region.
@@TheFireElevator absolutely
Problems in nations south of our border goes all the way back to the fifties and our Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles. The term Banana Republic arose from our colonial and imperialist interventions and policies starting (but not ending) with United Fruit. Gun running, dope dealing, terrorist militia supporting Reagan was carrying on a long established legacy of negative US intervention in Central and South American nations. Those nations are plantations for one percenters in the US. Our government has long supported the exploitation of the people and resources in Central and South America, and sides with corrupt RW governments.
Jack McKeague...great point. 100%. Thank you.
@@TheFireElevator yeah don’t deport them..leave them in the USA 😂, what an idiot.
Oh man. They took you to one of the most affected and dangerous neighborhoods called La Colonia Planeta.
stay safe Nick... Look after yourself there mate ... Many Beautiful moments are waiting for you in Cuba !
Thank you! One day soon!
It's really nice to have a local guide. I always had to walk around solo.
I am just addicted to your videos and your humble assessment of the countries and people you visit - the insights into life on the ground are not like most others on RUclips who often just fool around. Easy transition to a career in journalism when / if you have had enough of the travels (but please don't stop anytime soon!)
I'm an uncultured American and love your educational series! so excited for you to reach a million.
What part of the US do you live in?
@@itachi-hf3kv the south
You should look up the definition of uncultured first before you make such a proclamation.
@@chelseamedders4636 cool, I live in Dallas TX
Then stop watching American news + American agenda of black vs white, man vs woman ... And focus your attention into real topic and real knowledge, there is so much to learn about this world
Really looking forward to this series, Nick. I've watched most of your series (they're great!) and often wondered whether you'd eventually get to Honduras - I lived there for 2 years from 2014-16 and worked as a teacher in the Lake Yojoa area. I'm really hoping you managed to get to that part of the country in a later episode. Honduras is a wonderful country with great people and so much incredible natural scenery and wildlife. I'm hoping your series will reflect those positives, as well as highlighting the clear issues that exist there as well.
In terms of safety, I personally never felt in any danger whatsoever during my time there - whether I was out and about in the local community, on public transport or visiting the big cities. However, I did quite frequently hear stories of crimes committed against friends of friends, or acquaintances of friends, relatives of students at my school etc, so although never directly affected it was clear that bad things were happening in the background. My theory was that as 'gringos' we were generally left alone, although of course you shouldn't ever lower your guard or go looking for trouble.
I live in hope that the potential the country clearly has can one day be realised - the vast majority of people there deserve far better
You’re so sweet, thank you. I wish better for my country too, the government has sadly been destroying it slowly, so I wish for the situation to get better in the future and hopefully people will see the beauty of it. Have a good day :)
Incredible, after months those area looks like the hurricanes have past yesterday. Poor people.
SUCH A SICK INTRO!! 👏🏻 👏🏻
Glad you made it out alive, man! My cousin went to San Pedro Sula many years ago on his way to the Bay Islands and had no idea what he was getting himself into. (He saw how much closer and cheaper it was to fly into SPS than Tugucigalpa and figured what the heck.)
just watching this first video in Honduras and its amazing ! maybe your best yet ! be safe out there !
Damn it's 10pm in Australia and I have to work tomorrow.....oh well guess I'm going to work tired
Haha thank you, Phil!
Thank you for the content love from Australia
Thanks for watching Dale!
@@IndigoTraveller that was very tensed thank you for risking your life showing this to us
My biological mother is from Honduras. I've never meet her but thought about visiting the county someday. I was giving up for adoption in 88
Visit any of the surrounding "countries" as well. Its the same thing essentially. Centralamericans have ancestry all over the isthmus.
good luck on your journey, if you decide to do it🧡
Definitely a beautiful country to visit if you go more on the tourist side like Tela, Routan, Utila, la ceiba
From Armenia and Georgia(when I started watching)to Honduras 2021. Easily the most under rated travel channel!
Wow men thanxs for this amazing vídeo of my City i lived here in Sps, welcome i hope u like it, and is not than dangerous as all people think.. If u are a good person of course, take care men! Hope to see more soon
I've noticed in all these countries, the good people are the best people you will find, amazing people. And the bad people are as evil as you will find. No middle ground.
🤔
@@daithi1487 didn't mean to offend anyone, just my observation :)
Exactly why countries need to be carful who they let into their country.. We don't want to import the exact problem these people run from.
@@Killswitch1411 I agree and disagree.. let the good people in, if it is for the right reason, but let's not just accept the contents of other countries prison systems..
@@darrenburns123 But people have to understand is countries can't have a endless flow of people coming into their countries.. Resources are limited. jobs are limited, a huge influx of migrants puts huge strains on communities. Its frustrating, seeing the shit these people go through but its also frustrating opening the flood gates and there is no accountability for breaking laws.
It's amazing what you are doing just to show us the "not-so-touristy" places on earth. How do you cope with that mentally? I mean, you were in several places in the past few month that were anything but safe and sound. Do you struggle sometimes? Do you worry about your own safety?
I mean he's the 🐐 sooo..
You know, he just goes to that country.
He has kidnapping insurance
You raise an interesting point, I never considered the impact on mental wellbeing. I've always been concerned about physical wellbeing. i work in qualitative research, researching health inequity. At times, depending on the nature of the research question, the job comes with exposure to secondhand trauma. As part of job safety, and perhaps working in a first world country (new Zealand) I'm fortunate to have access to health professionals that help me to process some of the experiences participants share (most related to childhood adversity, abuse of all types). So, I'd like to know what he does to keep well...
Mental health is something I have to apply necessarily discipline to working in such environments regularly. Health, exercise wellness and good people are key to keep balance personally speaking. Thank you for watching.
This guy when he visits a dangerous place i just pray that he goes back home safely! He is literally risking his life to expose such places to us! Be safe pal!
USA is more dangerous .
Hands down the best vlogger on RUclips! Your presentation and editing skills are superb! Journalistic approach is a force to be proud of! Thanks for your great work in teaching the world about the rest of the world. Your efforts are certainly selfless. Blessings to you!
Man you keep blowing me away recently , gettin right in there amongst it.. love to see it so thank you!
Honduras still have many good things to give to the World.
Like what?
@@ishenichole7340 semitas, baleadas
Nah, fam. Come and bomb us, kill us all and then you can create a new and better society. Just keep the language.
@@ishenichole7340 beautiful jungles and Caribbean
@@MOBHITMOBHIT ohhhhhhhh yes I never thought about that.. Its really sad to see these beautiful countries with so much poverty and sadness. It is all brought about by design by these ruthless elites in political power on purpose.
You should make a series of videos in your home country as well Nick. It'd be fun to watch!
If this happened in Japan, one month later everything would look brand new, like no hurricane ever happened.
Not the same amount of development doe...
What's your point? Hondurus doesn't have as much money as Japan
@@customtoggle7938 Japan has money because of their ingenuity and sweat equity... Here’s a little factoid for you. They rebuilt themselves after getting nuked... TWICE. So, no excuses for anyone else.
@@turbo_fren that's true though, their precision and attention to detail made the best motorcycles and vehicles in the world.
Japan still hasn't recovered from the 2011 earthquake.
I always learn more and more about the world from your videos. I love the fact that you are so focused on making entertaining but educational videos about the world as it exists, not as we wish it were.
Very dramatic WOE
My people🥺, it could be such a beautiful country if the violence wasn’t such a bad thing and if it would be more modernized 🥲
