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.
Don.t believe the western mainstream media. They all lie and put Venezuela allways in a bad spot. I won.t say it is perfect, but Venezuela is changing, Venezuela is recovering and the most places are quiet safe. It is a country worth to visit. When i speak for myself i love Venezuela with all my heart. Love to come there.
I don.t like Maduro, but Machado is the worst person to be in charge, she is extreme left, pro US and pro Democrat and Liberal with other words a WEF puppet. Gladly many Venezoelanos see that
Haha i love that hes like "its changed a ton, and i recommend you actually talk to someone from here to see for yourself" and then asks someone from there, and the first thing they say is "well it hasnt changed much at all"
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.
Estás muy equivocado jamás puedes comparar la inseguridad de tu país Colombia, y Bogotá con Venezuela !! Jaja que risa solamente ve a Venezuela y verás que. Nadie roban Bogotá es una marginalidad en comparación a Venezuela ve y ya está
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.
Yo conozco Bogotá y también te roban hasta los celulares en pleno día,yo conozco algunos países y en todas partes hay inseguridad ,hasta en Francia cuando estuve hace un año,y es uno de los países más visitados del y no por eso van a dejar de ir,así que toda Latinoamérica roban
Que mala fama le dan algunos colombianos a Venezuela da risa y de dónde será que salieron los Narcos y los Sicarios,y ahora se la dan de gran cosa cuando todo el mundo sabe la historia de Colombia 😊
I used to live in both Caracas and Bogota about ten years ago and they were like chalk and cheese.....I actually used to go to Bogota to escape the violence and madness in Caracas. Now Caracas looks totally different......so few people compared with before.....no way could you have cycled along sabana grande like he did ......
I lived in Venezuela on and off for twenty years and watching the video it looks totally different.... There's a lot less noise and traffic for starters.....going back a few years, if you had tried to cycle from Caracas to Maracaibo or San Cristobal you would've been lucky to get five kilometres out of the city before being hit by a truck or robbed and given a good beating or worse. In the video Caracas has the feeling of a ghost town.....
@@XploreWithRoger it was an adventure every day. But, I was young then and very lucky. Today I'm getting old and my luck probably wouldn't be enough. 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!!
@@rossellinirossicalrossc3507As a Venezuelan I can assure you that we need international travelers so our people can do business and benefit from the touristic industry. Venezuela has a lot to offer and it would be nice if tourists can get a taste of our beautiful culture regardless of our political situation.
@@zomaye9 A homeless person will never say anything positive about his country because he thinks that'll make him look like it's his fault that he's in that situation.
Good job, Roger. Thnks for teaching the foreigners about the sitiation that my country is living now in 2023. Not all is well, but the country is safer than in 2017. Things will get much better when Maduro finally goes away.
@@AIP404 Dumb comment? No. God is more powerful than Maduro. He defied God, and he said Maduro is out, he has the last word. Prophecies are not a dumb thing, and next time, connect your tongue to your brain. God bless You.
Thank you for clearly breaking down the safety situation; useful insight. This year, I traveled to La Guajira in Colombia, and wanted to cross the border to Venezuela, however, couldn't fine much information on the safety. Still, I'm not convinced to visit the country, even the people that claimed it's fine, seemed hesitant.
Thanks for watching and good to hear it gives you an idea about the safety in Venezuela. You can watch my other videos as well, I think that will convince you that it's safe enough to visit.
As a Venezuelan residentt,i may Say they security is much better than years ago. You can use your Mobile phone everywhere ( it was imposible years ago because the theft robbery). Ando go yo a disco or restaurant at night without problems. Of course ,some zones are dangerous like new York, rio, Acapulco, París, and tourist continue visiting this cities. Only Bad propaganda. Saludos Roger
Hey bro just wanted to say your videos are helping me learn some new Spanish words and you talking to other people helps me being able to understand people talking more. I appreciate your videos man! I know you’re going to Brazil but I hope the Spanish talking continued or you go to another país donde la hente habla español. Muchos gracias Roger!
I was there and I could not believe how clean it was ....the food super markets were also amazing and you can find anything you want. I was Very surprised as to how great Venezuela is after having that crisis a few years ago.
@@31000or The security has improved a ton. I walked and drove everywhere and I didn't feel ever unsafe, even at night. I can tell you that if somehow, Maria Corina Machado somehow is able to take power in Venezuela, the Venezuelan economy is going to take off like a rocket as you will have a lot of Venezuelans coming back with skills and resources, and the foreign investment will explode with foreign companies coming back into the country. Venezuela could be a paradise. I was even thinking that Venezuela never gets hit by too many natural disasters.... hurricanes always go north and never hit the Venezuelan coasts , so the country is so privileged in so many ways, and overall the people are awesome.
Tks for your insight of Caracas, Venezuela. So many Venezuela immigrants are coming to USA hoping for a better life for food & jobs. USA is expensive to live & it is a rude awakening that will be disappointing for them to succeed, especially if they don't speak English. Glad you & your dog are good, was worried as you were biking the busy streets. Stay safe.
Not surprised Venezuela is safe, all the criminals have come down here to Peru where they can be arrested as many times as they like but never have to go to jail.
Peru ya era uno de los países más peligrosos de Latinoamérica antes que los venezolanos emigraran allá 🤡 ustedes ya tenían el índice más alto de femicidios en Sudamérica.
I lived in Caracas between Sep 1977 and Aug 1979. At that time Venezuelans used to call the city "La sucursal del cielo", it means the branch of heaven on earth. Maybe it was not spiritual, but it was amazing. I spent two wonderful years. I was a teenager and me and my friends used to go out alone around the long metropolitan area. Never encounter a problem. When I left, I remember crying. It was a really amazing place to be young.
The guy who lives on the street saying that the city is not safe, he is rather showing that it can be safe, he lives on the street and instead of stealing he looks for fruit to sell, I mean you can't talk with a valuable camera and without a companion with a homeless person in any city in the world. I hope he can get out of that situation, he seems to be a good person. Good job Roger
Totally true. Venezuela is my 2nd home, and Caracas i know that city very well, i come there for more then 25 years. I liked your program, becouse it is like that. you give the right information.
I left the country 37 years ego, I'm 70 years old, I was watching this video, I had a hard time to recognize Sabana Grande. I'm surprise how the traffic became light. no cars ! I guess is good for the environment. The last time I was there was 16 years ego, traffic was terrible anyhow I used it, but the personal security very bad. Anyhow I have a motto : I don't believe everything that I read and I believe half what I see in videos. Good luck to the tourist that like extremes sport. Have a nice day
Most of the population has left. I know a woman from there. She still lives there. She showed me pictures of the streets in Coro this last Christmas. It looked like a gost town.
The fact is that Venezuela went from alternating with El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras as one of the most dangerous countries in the world to the 22 spot of murders per 100k, which is how you measure crime. I teach in Petare, and I walk the streets of El Silencio regularly, and I live in Sebucán, and I can assure you that the country has made a 180 degree change for the better. Visit Venezuela, where you will find hard working and friendliest people in the world.
Of course safety has improved in Venezuela. They have exported most of their criminals to other countries in Latin America. Now, also sending criminals to USA.
Look at it this way, about ten years ago there were around 200 murders on a busy weekend in Caracas.....it was a crazy place but also a lot of fun if you knew how to stay safe... ..
I trust the locals you interviewed. They said it’s not safe and not a good situation. Sure you, a European man, go there and have a great time and then report how safe it is and go back home.
Hi Roger, you talked in your video about taking much cash money because it’s not possible to get money from the bank. Can you explain this a little more, because if that’s true, I think that is a big reason not to go as a tourist. Because when that’s common everybody who has bad intention knows.
No tengas miedo no todo es peligro, los medios de comunicación exageran lo que dicen ,hay riesgo en todas partes incluyendo toda Latinoamérica, y habeces Venezuela es más seguro que sus vecinos, saludos y bienvenido😊
Me pongo nerviosa cuando hablas mientras manejas la bici, y estan esos autobuses. Lo mejor es que vayas concentrado manejando y ya luego le agregas la voz al video
Si entrevistas indigentes, obviamente te van a pintar el panorama muy oscuro. Debes entrevistar a personas promedio. No todos somos indigentes en Venezuela. A parte que son personas sin educación
Ahi esta el problema, Venezuela es una pais de contrastes y no puedes querer esconder que una parte muy grande de la poblacion asi existe solo por que personas como tu y yo podemos resolver y vivir medianamente comodos, por ver como menos a las personas asi es que Chavez entro al poder, recapacita pana
@@Auguzto. recapacita tu, todo el mundo evoluciona y los que se quedan atras son personas mayores que ya no contribuyen al sistema, hasta en las partes mas feas de Venezuela hay gente moviendose generando ingresos, ya es una minoría que se quedo atras.
Es importante para hablar con todo el mundo. Indigentes tambien tiene algo para decir y si tal vez el pinto el panorama mas oscuro pero otra gente habla mejor sobre la situacion.
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 😣
9:42 "I prefer to have a drink here in my homeland" - I prefer to go through hard times in my land rather than someone elses land. He's right. Some immigrants leave and actually arrive to a better life. But for millions of migrants life outside of Venezuela/their respective countries it's even worse for them.
After the behavior of the US and EU against Venezuela, this country should be the one fearing people from those latitudes. The best tourist in venezuela are the same venezuelans.
Horrible take. Look at what the government in Venezuela has been doing for the last 10 years and why the country went south, got dangerous and drove millions and millions of citizens to other countries. It didn’t get sanctioned just for fun.
What was that saying again? If something bad happens everything is fine until something happens…? I enjoyed the video but couldn’t help poking fun of that.
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.
Tremendo libro, me hiciste recordar viejos tiempos en mis escuela de sociología de la universidad central de Venezuela, las venas abiertas de América latina ❤
I did visit Venezuela Caracas and must say is very stressful especially when you don’t speak Spanish ! Constantly you have to look over your shoulder ? I am sorry for the people n Venezuela ! People are friendly but you have to always be carful of danger ! I don’t think Venezuela is ready for tourist and definitely will not travel again in near future !
Ni falta que hacen, el que no quiera venir que no venga. Ya antes venían olas de extranjeros. Por la crisis mermaron, no sea ignorante, esto no es una jungla. Y por el idioma, somos un país de habla hispana por favor, venga preparado para comunicarse, no sea ridículo 🙄
Venezuela looks really bad clmpared to how it was before. It was avery beautiful country. Too bad they dont even live good worh their neighbouring countries.
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.
That's good to hear, thank you for watching!
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.
Serious question. Why are so many coming to the U.S.? And who are they? Like where do they come from in Venezuela?
Don.t believe the western mainstream media.
They all lie and put Venezuela allways in a bad spot.
I won.t say it is perfect, but Venezuela is changing, Venezuela is recovering and the most places are quiet safe.
It is a country worth to visit.
When i speak for myself i love Venezuela with all my heart.
Love to come there.
I don.t like Maduro, but Machado is the worst person to be in charge, she is extreme left, pro US and pro Democrat and Liberal with other words a WEF puppet.

Look at it this way, about ten years ago there were around 200 murders on a busy weekend in Caracas.....it was a crazy place but also a lot of fun if you knew how to stay safe... ..
Things are way better back home in Venezuela than in the USA for me… I’m so happy to be back in my homeland where I belong.
I cannot get over your thick Dutch accent, but love watching ur videos haha
wait, so you're currently living in Venezuela temporarily or is it permanent? Honestly, despite me being an American, Venezuela intrigues me.
I trust the locals you interviewed. They said it’s not safe and not a good situation. Sure you, a European man, go there and have a great time and then report how safe it is and go back home.
Si es seguro 🙄
Buen video hermano, tenemos que grabar
Good job bro muy sympaticos chicos al fin
As a Belgian, I can just hear your Dutch accent from miles away
🤣
Hi Roger, you talked in your video about taking much cash money because it’s not possible to get money from the bank. Can you explain this a little more, because if that’s true, I think that is a big reason not to go as a tourist. Because when that’s common everybody who has bad intention knows.
No tengas miedo no todo es peligro, los medios de comunicación exageran lo que dicen ,hay riesgo en todas partes incluyendo toda Latinoamérica, y habeces Venezuela es más seguro que sus vecinos, saludos y bienvenido😊
Me pongo nerviosa cuando hablas mientras manejas la bici, y estan esos autobuses. Lo mejor es que vayas concentrado manejando y ya luego le agregas la voz al video
Los Gringos así andan en todo Latinoamérica, cerca de los buses en bicicleta 😂
Si entrevistas indigentes, obviamente te van a pintar el panorama muy oscuro. Debes entrevistar a personas promedio. No todos somos indigentes en Venezuela. A parte que son personas sin educación
Si, no tiene sentido hablar con alguien que no trabaja y vive en la calle, en cambio el otro señor me dio risa porque dijo yo si trabajo
Ahi esta el problema, Venezuela es una pais de contrastes y no puedes querer esconder que una parte muy grande de la poblacion asi existe solo por que personas como tu y yo podemos resolver y vivir medianamente comodos, por ver como menos a las personas asi es que Chavez entro al poder, recapacita pana
@@Auguzto. recapacita tu, todo el mundo evoluciona y los que se quedan atras son personas mayores que ya no contribuyen al sistema, hasta en las partes mas feas de Venezuela hay gente moviendose generando ingresos, ya es una minoría que se quedo atras.
Es importante para hablar con todo el mundo. Indigentes tambien tiene algo para decir y si tal vez el pinto el panorama mas oscuro pero otra gente habla mejor sobre la situacion.
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 😣
It seems you are making Venezuela your permanent home?
I'm still travelling :)
9:42 "I prefer to have a drink here in my homeland" - I prefer to go through hard times in my land rather than someone elses land. He's right. Some immigrants leave and actually arrive to a better life. But for millions of migrants life outside of Venezuela/their respective countries it's even worse for them.
After the behavior of the US and EU against Venezuela, this country should be the one fearing people from those latitudes. The best tourist in venezuela are the same venezuelans.
Horrible take. Look at what the government in Venezuela has been doing for the last 10 years and why the country went south, got dangerous and drove millions and millions of citizens to other countries. It didn’t get sanctioned just for fun.
Venezuelan here, the only people we fear are communists and chavistas, not people from the US
I am a United States citizen, wanting to visit Venezuela so bad!!! but I don’t know how to get the visa or if I even need one anymore
U.S. citizens must obtain a visa to enter Venezuela legally.
Thinks are bad and will still bad in Venezuela, always gonna be until maduro go.
Jesus loves you
So does the devil, we have be seen now to be a totally inclusive society not to offend anyone 😊
What a good old guy at the end
🇻🇪
my friend has been killed there 15 days ago, safety is something else!
Here, we don't have mass shootings like in the US. (36 this year alone, and counting).😮
Jakob told me that Venezuela is a super save place
Watching from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Don't tell people safer, otherwise it will be shit full of tourists in less than 90 days
Yeah that's the downside
That's good my girl is Venezuelan and sais foreigners help with the economy you don't know what you're talking about
@@XploreWithRogerdespués de todo lo que pasó y a pesar del mal gobierno, queremos descansar 🤗
@@assassinjgaming3948nadie nos ayuda 🙄
@@Lorenita1111 Eso no es lo que escuché. Escuché esto de un venezolano, no de un colombiano, ni de un estadounidense.
What was that saying again? If something bad happens everything is fine until something happens…? I enjoyed the video but couldn’t help poking fun of that.
Its safe now. They shipped all the criminals too NYC. Like Cuba did Florida.
Your brain is tiny
If you were able to edit and upload this video that means it's safe enough.
Venezuela needs organic seeds distributed. Every area of land should be transformed into a vegetable garden
Then why are so many coming across the US border? Who are those people?
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.
Tremendo libro, me hiciste recordar viejos tiempos en mis escuela de sociología de la universidad central de Venezuela, las venas abiertas de América latina ❤
You look after your self bro we are not gonna visit Venezuela
Hey,Roger how your experience Venezuelan women? 😊
Que maravilla
Why would the thieves leave for ecuador? Explaination?
what is wrong with visiting the bar areas at night, surly that is a safe area.
You are Dutch? Den Haag region?
Hi man, do you have strava ?
Hey man! Thanks for following me! Yes I have Strava. You can follow me under the name Xplore With Roger
Looks a lot better than Los Angeles or Chicago or Detroit!
If that's true then why are so many Venezuelans leeching off us in these cities???🤔 Tell them to go back to their home country!!
Thank you for the content.
How do I get from the airport do I rent a car or a taxi or is there Uber or do I take the bus
Taxi to the city centre is around 35$ I think. Maybe there is also a bus but you should check that at the airport
@@XploreWithRoger thank you why so much money for the taxi $35 is dollars
Sounds very expensive for a taxi😮
I understand it’s safe now but I hear that it is insanely expensive
It's expensive but of course it also depends on what you're planning to do
Amigó, Roger... Saludos.
Cuando le pregunto al de camisa verde sobre la seguridad😂😂😂
Do Maracaibo next. Bet you won’t.
I will
does your dog go everywhere
I take him everywhere I can
Saudaçoes de Santa Catarina Brasil
I bet it’s safer because so many people left
That's true, a lot of bad people left
Oh the good ol' days of the republic before the bolivarian republic before the dictator before inflation
Venezuela no es solo Caracas, hay otras ciudades mas bonita, y qur son mas segura.
Yo sé, visité muchos otros lugares en Venezuela tambien
Barquisimeto, Merida, Lecherias, Valencia y Maracay son muy bonitas y seguras@@XploreWithRoger
Ik wil graag naar caracas maar ik spreek geen spans
Wellicht voordat je gaat een beetje Spaans leren, altijd handig net zoals in andere landen in Latijns Amerika
Sua isncrita por conta do seu encontro com os dois brasileiros no canal do Tik tok
Dutch Right?
Ik was er augustus 2023 en mei 2022. Was top!
Are Colombian and Venezuelan the same people?? I’ve met Venezuelans and Mexicans in the US, and I think Mexicans are shorter, and facially rounder?
as history says, Venezuela and colombia was one big country called Gran Colombia so colombians and venezuelans are the same mixture of people
Venezuelans and Colombian are the most similar people in Latin America however there is a slight different among us .
you can tell who is enezuelan and who is Colombia in the way of dressing and looks
Ay vale Jakob told me its a beautiful city
Lekker accentje amigo
bro..i normal like your videos but this interview/ the question was quite bad bro
What was bad about the questioning?
Take us to the Hood to see plz😅 Or is that the Hood..?
Looks cleaner than San Francisco LOL
😅
I did visit Venezuela Caracas and must say is very stressful especially when you don’t speak Spanish ! Constantly you have to look over your shoulder ? I am sorry for the people n Venezuela ! People are friendly but you have to always be carful of danger ! I don’t think Venezuela is ready for tourist and definitely will not travel again in near future !
When did you go there?
Ni falta que hacen, el que no quiera venir que no venga. Ya antes venían olas de extranjeros. Por la crisis mermaron, no sea ignorante, esto no es una jungla.
Y por el idioma, somos un país de habla hispana por favor, venga preparado para comunicarse, no sea ridículo 🙄
how dutch can your accent get? YES :D
take a chance and go ! it is dangerous and it is expensive ..... VERY MUCH NOT WORTH IT !
Why Venezuelans don't definitely ride off the dictator?
So its chicago....
14:20 very dengerous !! this man !! Be carefully !!!!!!!!
Venezuela looks really bad clmpared to how it was before. It was avery beautiful country. Too bad they dont even live good worh their neighbouring countries.
Muito top
Jakob is a super rude German valeee
