Port-au-Prince is definitely a place that plays no games. Thanks for joining me on this trip, looking forward to bringing you along as I journey through this wild country that is called Haiti. It’s going to one hell of a ride. Much love to all the Haitian people. I just published a fresh photo from Haiti here: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/
Thanks for watching 🇭🇹
appreciate all the insights into various communities around the world. please stay safe.
as people before me have said, thank you for what you do, Nick. Please, stay safe and be reasonable (well, as you always are, but I'm still worried)
No place for a picnic g
rapping was cringe
Why you always label your videos with (the most dangerous country in the world) ???
I feel like the guide isn't mentioned or praised enough in these comments, what an amazing man!!!!! He was so central to making this video possible and did an incredible job of keeping you safe while really getting the situation across. Intelligent, engaging, and perceptive. 👌
One of the best guides so far, I'd put him up with Lenny from Venezuela. Great stuff from this guy.
@@trident1125 yes Lenny stood out to me too! and the guide in Lagos, Nigeria (the chief's son?)
This guide is awesome!
@@slacepgh yes! He seems very genuine and I hope we get to see a lot more of him and hear what he has to say...
Yeah exactly, Sean has saved my life many times. Absolute hero he is.
I am Haitian living in the US. I left Haiti 18 months ago so I'm a fairly new immigrant. I was a Primary Care Physician over there, came to the United States to do my Master in Public Health and started proceedings to stay permanently.
I am from a privileged background so I cannot say I have experienced the full force of poverty and violence. I went to the best schools, traveled, studied abroad. I love my country and there is nothing I would want more than to go home, reopen my private practice and serve the population.
However my home is three houses down from where the President lived and was assassinated. I'd be in fear for my life every day and this is no way to live. I have people dear and near who have been kidnapped and killed. I myself was kidnapped and freed after my family paid a ransom that ruined us financially.
Still, I speak English and I am highly educated. I am in a better position than most Haitians to hire an immigration lawyer and come to the States the legal way.
I still miss home and long for a day when we can safely return. ❤️🇭🇹
Anybody would comprehend why you'd leave a failed country like Haiti. Fact remains however that wistful dreams of what could be won't change the country's persistent dysfunction if the country's " brain drain" continues unabated. I hope you'll always give due credit to the US a country which has aided your homeland via aid and a very generous immigration policy
Please find a way to give back to Haiti and possibly even going back and opening your practice. They need you more then America does. It is the French British and late American’s fault Haiti is the way it is and it needs a change
Thank you for your honest and interesting writing.
@@broughmar weird thing to say
Your story is inspiring friend. I don't blame you for not wanting to return to Haiti. America is a better place now for you being here.
Ive been visiting the Dominican Republic for decades. It astounds me that they share an island. Such difference is mindboggling.
@@Cottonball-gz4crCan you please explain what you mean?
Part of it is the climate different on the island sides but also racism and the rape of rich Haiti by the US and France
@@MercisJourneyit seems like there’s a wealth disparity between the two countries. You wouldn’t think they share a border. They both have their problems( as do all countries) but Haiti is in a worser condition. Its more unstable politically and economically (through no fault of its own might I add) It’s sad and shouldn’t be the case.
@@MercisJourneyhe is talking about how Haiti is the poorest nation on the planet and the Dominican is one of the richest in the Caribbean.
About how 95% of Haiti is black after they kicked out and killed all white people and the Dominican is 7% black…
@@David_Talks. You mean the kicked out their slave masters. Then in retaliation countries with a predominantly white population retaliated against the the people of Haiti and put an embargo.
Halfway through the video and must stop to compliment the guide. What an interesting, intelligent, and seemingly very good person he is. I hope that he is well and good.
completely agree.
@@pickinforalivinRecently he got kidnapped unfortunately
This guide is so smart. He loves his fellow Haitians. God Bless this country.
He's the go to guide in Haiti apparently. I saw him on Chris Must List's channel where he documented a similar trip to Haiti
God bless a country that has killed off all of the European people aiding it twice? Hahahaa
Fuck Haiti!!!
Fake comment. Fake profile.
Your god long forgot this country, or maybe he doesn't even exist?!
This is what journalism is supposed to look like. Telling it like it is. You are courageous.
Don Lemon wish he was a true journalist like this.
Thank you Sue
🍏CNN (and others) have been caught faking war footage. Look up “The Veto” a documentary on the SYR war. They were caught faking footage for propaganda purposes.
Port Au Prince is not Haiti. He is not telling it how it is. He is biased just like most of you about the people of Haiti.
i 'am Haitian and that is not the real story, the real story is the gangs are backed by US the latest automatic guns the police found in the hand of gangs say US army it is written clearly on the guns . The US sabotaged manipulated Haiti the US even placed corrupted government in Haiti and they forced us to accept
Shawn or Sean, the greatest tour guide ever!!! Prayers and much love for Haitiians
Sean feels like a legendary benevolent character in an epic movie. I pray to God nothing bad ever happens to him.
The guy he interviewed who lived in the US and got deported has an incredibly distinct Brooklyn accent (lived in NYC my whole life). Crazy how a man living in the midst of all this chaos sounds like he could my neighbor when he speaks.
Lol he does!
reminds me of a co worker on Long Island!
I was looking for this comment. Dude has the thickest NY accent. Between living in Florida & visiting family in NYC I hear at least once a day
Clearly he's an actor who was hired by the reporter.
That’s a guy who was given an opportunity to do well and knew it. L’s all over his face
The guide Sean deserves so much ! What a good man he seems to.
Be?
Sean said, "I live by these words, If you kill with a gun, you will be killed by the gun, so, I haven't killed"... He is very humble, to me
@@maxpower9175 he thought he typed (*be) 😂
I think it's safe to say Sean is definitely a legend.
As long as your paying him yes, lol
What a fascinating report. The American Haitian fellow that had lived in NYC spoke quite eloquently IMO. His positive and friendly attitude will see him through the toughest of times.
I really felt for the guy from New York. His accent is that of someone who was brought up there from a young age - to have been deported to Haiti as a young man must have been a horrific experience.
Thank you for creating this. My parents are sponsoring a dear family friend from Haiti and he just arrived to live in the US a few weeks ago. He is like a brother to me. This is so helpful to give me context of what his life was like growing up. And it's great to be able to show my kids so they understand the hardships and struggles of the people of Haiti. Praying everyday for the people there.
Yes but also look at the vids of Cap Haitian which looks more like a more normal Caribbean area ... not like Port-au-Prince .
You want him to know that you also know about the nicer areas of his country .
🤦🏼♀️
This is the real type of journalism we need to see. In the streets, talking to the people candidly. Asking real unscripted questions that matter. Thank you and God speed.
It's sad as it used to be known as just 'journalism'. This is much more important story comparatively.
He should have asked if things would have been better under French slavery than they are now. There'd be less rapes, less violence, more food, less disease, better education, better quality of life, etc.
There is a difference between documentary and journalism. This is a good documentary.
@@sharonthebaron88 Wrong. There is no difference. It's still reportage. It doesn't have to be print for it to be journalism. The broad definition of journalism as seen by traditionalists is that journalists attempt to present the viewer or reader with objective facts. High-quality documentaries also attempt to present the viewer with factual information on a specific topic. Ergo, documentary filmmaking is journalism.
@@singlemom6305 yeah because being a slave isn't bad at all
I travelled solo and independently to Haiti in October 2009 for four days (three months before the large earthquake). Living standards were, at the time, very low, but gang activity was minimal. It was safe enough for me to walk around Port-au-Prince and Petion-Ville without a guide. The people I met were lovely, and although very poor, seemed upbeat about the future. It is absolutely heartbreaking to see what Haiti has become.
🤣
That's the same light that Ace Live showed when he visited. People were poor but extremely nice and hospitable. And he went all over from the cities to the countryside. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.
@@K.B.Williams yeah they are so nice that it's the most dangerous country on earth 🤣
@@LordOfSweden The word "dangerous" is highly subjective. St Louis and Chicago are essentially the most dangerous cities in America and they have great people and both cities as a whole are awesome. It's all about experience.
@@K.B.Williams Ah yes facts are subjective. Got you 🤣 That's why you choose to live in a European made society and not in Liberia.
I love content like this. It's nice to see honest independent coverage of these places and topics in general.
The guide Sean is such a lovely man. The video was amazing to watch. I feel for the Haitian people. Things could be turned around and it would take a lot of work but could be done.
Sean the guide is an absolute legend! What a fantastic local resource you managed to find for your trip to Haiti.
A true hero!
this not my first time seeing u sean in a video loll 😂
@@IndigoTraveller I hope you can keep in good contact with him.
Helas, he doesnt realize yet this guy he is guiding has an evil agenda against his motherland
@@bbalderston125 I hope he can survive. Exposing the cockroaches is a dangerous profession.
What amazes me is that despites all their hardships, the Haitian people keep smiling. Incrdibly resilent people!
It amazes you???? What choices do they have? This is what's coming to your country, sooner than you think.......... Keep voting in corrupt politicians The "Great Re-set" What will be your choice? keep smiling. Fools.
Ignorant bliss?
@@darbywing2 Agreed. Look at every major city in the states run by the left. They're all Haiti in slow motion. Well.... it isn't going to be in "slow motion" much longer. Because of years of corruption and accelerating government handouts , large cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, L A are doomed. Others to shortly follow. Don't know what the solution is, because it's gone on too long, but the misery exported abroad, by corrupt US politicians has finally come back home to roost
@@darbywing2 can you explain how it’s ignorant bliss?
@@dfaro8453 Well, turd-worlders have double-digit IQ's.
Sean is the most informative, the historian and the best guide we all (readers and watchers) have. Kudos, Sean and be safe!!!
I was born and raised in Haiti and yet dont have the courage you had going in those areas. Thank you for sharing our story with the world 🙏🏾
@@lyssa4613 lol?
@@lyssa4613 shut up Lyssa, slag
Christopher Paul…. Wow. ! !
I went to Haiti as a teen and I loved it. Such a special place full of people who refuse to give up, it was a big lesson to learn as a white American approaching adulthood. I have a lot of hope for Haiti.
@@kileyfitzgerald6792 you should visit Appalachia sometime. "as a White American" maybe that'll open your eyes a bit more.
As a Haitian who left Haiti in my late teens. It's so so sad to watch. 😢
🙏
When did you leave? Hope your family is safe.
@@lisasmith767 about 20 years ago. Thanks for asking. My family is safe. They live in a province.
Congrats on getting out, place looks like a real dump. Not a lot of confidence that the locals can fix things either
The same Western guy who is ready to die for clickbeit perspective.
Fascinating video. The guide and the people willing to share their stories really made the video what it is.❤
as a woman of Haitian descent, I am feeling very warm at how this video is making an effect on you guys. Also, all the wishes for Sean and for his safety are very kinda but I want you guys to remember that these videos are filmed in the ghetto parts of Haiti. Sean may very well live in the actual good parts of Haiti.. like Upper Delma or the places a lot of your celebrity favs visit. Instead of feeling sorrow, just donate :) and, while you’re looking at all these rough videos of Haiti, take the time to search up the nice parts as well
I went to Haiti with my Mom when I was 5. It had its issues but it was relatively peaceful. My Mom used to tell me how much she wants to go back to Haiti, the country she grew up in. 30 years later, she repeatedly has told me never to even attempt go back to Haiti. However, one day I will. I believe Haiti will bounce back. When that happens, I will go enjoy the culture, music, food, and landscape of my mother's country as an adult.
Meanwhile, you'll enjoy the riches of the west.
My brother in law is Haitian and I asked him if he ever wanted to go see Haiti some day and he just kinda looked at me crazy and said hell no lol
@@dirkbogarde44 like everyone wants to. always complaining about us but all want to live in the west and want everything free how many billions of help did haiti get already. nothing changed just like africa.
@@dirkbogarde44 the "Riches" of the west comes at a major cost and are not sustainable.
African societies used to live sustainably with low population, small & firm communities that were relatively peacful until the introduction of 'growth'. You don't need to grow or develop to be prosperous. If Haiti had 2 million vs 11 million people today, it wouldn't need to be debt-trapped by the 'riches' of the west.
@@ricardomeertens9165 cause it never reached the people, it's washed money
Wow the guy from New York has such an amazing voice, still sounds like authentic New York after all these years , crazy !
Right you can definitely tell he from New York
Wow such a fake comment from a crazy fake profile!
Facts I can tell he from New York
I knew it as soon as I heard his voice
Charlie Murphy!
Love your channel Bro. Thanks for showing us these places
Thank you so much for making this video. This video has made me realized how privileged I really am 😢
Your guide is such a respectful, kind, and loving gentleman.
Hopefully, both of you can stay in contact.
Be safe Brother Indigo.
I pray ABBA keep you well. 💞
He is a hero absolutely. Thank you!
so many people of Haiti are kind and giving. Having been on many mission trips there I'm always amazed by the heart and hope of the people in spite of the desperate conditions that they endure.
Smart guy too. Very good multi language skills, great vocab, super fast translations, pointed out the relationship between fuel price and food price, up to date on the political system, class relations. etc. Hopefully he has good work as a fixer/journalist.
@@IndigoTraveller Is he a guide? What is his contact info?
@@randomnobody8770 Thank you for your kind words.
You’re the only traveler out there who’s showing the reality in this world. You’re the bravest, stay safe! ☺️ can’t wait to see more!
I think he mostly focuses on troubled areas. This does not necessarily make him the only traveler that shows "the reality".
Kurt caz does the same and are also entertaining! Just a tip😊
Chrismustlist just came back from Haiti. Isn't he the bravest???
He think every where is the most dangerous counrtry 😂😂😂😂
@@DjimmyTrovy Agreed. Bet he doesn't show where the millionaires live. 🤣
Hope all is well with Sean! What an amazing guide.
Videos like this are so important to bring awareness and hopefully change!!
Shud me shown to woke lefties everywhere
I really like his Haitian guide, very knowledgeable about the deeper issues, probably gained by talking to so many people, winning their trust; and I don't know when he'd find time to research online.
Great people in the midst suffering, a U.S. citizen marry him and bring him here.
@@mariaramirez4357 What a weird thing to say
Very Brave Man For Speaking His Mind
@@ekay4495 I mean, life over there clearly isn't it, and that commenting is assuming he doesn't have enough to leave.
@@mariaramirez4357 what an ignorant suggestion. He’s VITAL to the solution that’s coming ahead. People like him are needed to stand and work with integrity when the corrupt are held accountable and removed. And what makes you think he wants to leave? smh He chose to be a guide because he clearly loves his country and wants to bring change.
awesome documentary, awesome guide, Sean did well explaining the overall situation in Haiti
Big up to Sean🎉 … award goes to him for being exceptional guide
My dad lived in Port-au-Prince until he was 18. He went to the usa to continue to study and now we live in Canada. He’s told me traumatizing stories such as seeing someone being killed by a truck when he was 6. This place is no joke
Lol its a complete and utter joke.
Why all black majority country are so violent?
@@rogerdodger1790 u kinda r ngl
And yet the cruise line takes you to its version of Haiti - a private beach only they use with one cruddy gift shop. What happened with the Clinton Foundation stealing millions from Haiti post earthquake?
@@rogerdodger1790 agree
I believe this guide is a great journalist. He seems like a very well-informed, caring person who wants to make sure people's stories get out and the conditions in his home country are made aware of. Kudos to him
Very good job. Top notch documentary by an ordinary (or not so ordinary) vlogger.
Woow amazing documentary and the guide was an amazing wel balanced, wel educated person, he is the key ❤️
You are amazing for giving a damn enough to go there and document the situation despite the obvious dangers. Respect.
The tour guide was freaking amazing. He really painted a clear picture, verbally!!!!
OMG, thanks so much for your bravery. This report is so bold & deep. Alot to take in.I😳👊👊✊✊
I always enjoy looking at your videos, so interesting. I get to learn so much about people from other lands. Im from the Caribbean as well.
I'm retired U.S. Army and deployed to Haiti for 6 months in 1994, Gen Raoul Cedras had just fled the country. Back then Haiti was exactly where it is today, poor and totally corrupt. During my time in Port au Prince we restored power, clean water, and repaired infastructure to get the country running again. The U.S. brought back President Aristide from exile to run the country, untold amounts of foreign aid and money have been thrown at Haiti for what we see today in this video. It really saddens me to see this, nothing has changed and no amount of money will fix this until the corruption is stopped. Haiti's problem can only be fixed from within, the Haitian people have to decide how they want to live.
F up , do you know y’all 🇺🇸 have a lot to do with this
Just go further in your search and see what is the actual problem of that.
@@trudakidd America has abused Haiti WITH the total assistance of many Haitian people!
That army dude is right the only way Haiti will change is if Haitians themselves change!
@@trudakidd they're the ones doing all this madness all over the world. Imagine the elites are only paper white ppl and the colored man still bow down to them. Ridiculous!
Yeah, and the US toppled Aristide a few years later and kidnapped him into exile in the Central African Republic during the Bush administration. Just last year the president was assassinated by Colombian and Haitian-American mercenaries, most likely over drug trafficking revenue. The US involvement in Haiti is shady to say the least. CIA and DEA are corrupted agencies. The common poor Haitian has very little influence over the international drug trade and its concomitant corruption. Haiti is a narco state completely exploited by its own elite and international organizations be they governmental or non-governmental.
I served as a UN peace keeper in Port-au-Prince in 1995 during Operation Uphold Democracy. A ravished country with beautiful people. So sad to see this. The corruption is its downfall. Wonderful people, many talented artists. Their University Hospital is like stepping back in time. Our unit repaired their MRI and anesthesia machines, and we cleaned up the pediatric ward. I wish more people could see the good side of Haiti; it’s people minus the gangs of course. We lived at the Light industrial complex near the airport. The public transportation trucks are called “tap taps.” The running joke is, “how many people can fit into a tap-tap? One more.” They are called tap taps because the passengers ride in the back of the truck and tap tap on the roof to let the driver know they need to stop and let them off.
We visited an orphanage up in the hills. The children were so sweet and well-behaved. They showed us the orphanage cemetery where their passed friends were. So sad. The world can do better for Haitians until they can do for themselves.
We were supposed to be there for a humanitarian mission, yet we were discouraged from sharing fresh water with the kids on our compound. These kids would shine our boots for us. We would slip a dollar, a bottle of water, and a snack into the boots. They always brought the boots back. Most Haitians are honest people who have no tolerance for crime. As there are few police, Haitians will handle thieves themselves with street Justice. It’s the only way to maintain some sense of order. Some of my colleagues donated money to send kids to school, since most families can only afford to send one child to school. We brought food staples to the University Hospital to help feed patients. We were told to deliver it to Administration. I KNOW none of that food ever made it to Haitian patients. Corruption.
Mèsi anpil!
I have read that there was a lot of sexual trafficking going on there at that time. True?
If they were wonderful people it wouldn't be so corrupt and crime-ridden.
American politicians can send billions to Ukraine, yet turn their backs on the Haitian people.
@@Konoronn EXACTLY! The same excuse is made for almost every sub Saharan country too: "The people are wonderful, it's just all the corruption and crime!" Yeah? What is the origin of all this corruption and crime? Because oddly enough, when some of these EXACT SAME countries were run by another people, they were extremely profitable and industrious nations. The same is true of Haiti. It used to be the "Jewel of the Caribbean". That quickly ended in 1804.
My parents are both from Haiti. I'm in my 30's and I've only had the chance to grace the country one afternoon as part of a cruise. I don't know when I'll have the chance to experience PoP, but I'm glad you took us on the deep dive in the slums we usually only see as background from the hills. This is a fantastic reporting job, bravo.
It looks geographically PRETTY.but it needs a revamp
@@kathleenking47 Absotely. The entire countries needs a new face
It's hard to help this country. Sending money won't help, since there's no functioning government. It's all run by gangs. I hope they find stability somehow.
While I served in the US Navy, our ship did a port call there back in 1976. We spent about 4 days there. I remember it being a poor country, but no gangs or anything like that. People were always trying to sell you stuff on the streets, but for the most part all of us sailors felt safe. Now look at it. Sad.
That’s because Haiti was controlled by “baby doc” the dictator that was the son of the infamous papa doc. While both were brutal they kept Haiti on lock. No unnecessary violence and the people were kept in check with intense fear. They were poor but too scared to act like they do today.
the guide is so nice wish him all the best, god bless him

I was looking for updates on Haiti and today I just got a notification for this video, thank you so much. I'm so sad to see all the situation that is happening there. I remember when Brazil (my country) had a mission to help the country back in the 2000s, but it seems like things got worse. Btw, there's a lot of Haitians living in Brazil and they are a great community. God bless Haitian people, hope one day they could finally find a way out of this poverty and violence. 🇧🇷🇭🇹💚
Amen brother, I still have hope for my Country.
@@noewinston8765 The incredible corruption is rampant. It isn't just Haiti, even USA/Canada are filthy with corruption. The foreign aid doesn't go to the government but NGO's who filter it, kick back to world "leadership" boasting about said aid. It doesn't help citizens. Without industry there is no jobs. No jobs there is no money. Sad circle of tragedy.
Brazil is also very dangerous place to live especially in the favelas...I have seen a lot of videos coming from them,killing people just like that and most of them are young kids...Plus,I noticed that they are showing some gang signs and stuffs...I watched those videos on a page called Live leak which is removed from one year ago I think and on that site you had everything(not only from Brazil) and then I was very surprised what is going on in Brazil and I love Brazil since I was child
@@vancospasov4242 yes, some big cities of Brazil could be dangerous, specially in places where the poverty is higher than the average like the slums (known there as favelas), but Brazil in general it isn’t. You should look for videos of the cities in the countryside, like Trancoso (in the state of Bahia), Bonito (Mato Grosso do Sul), Gramado (Rio Grande do Sul) Holambra (São Paulo), Jericoacoara (Ceará), Maragogi… Just to name a few. They are all touristic and safe. Brazil is a continental country, and it is very beautiful indeed. The same could also be said about Mexico or the USA (St Louis, Kansas, Detroit…), big countries facing problems with dangerous big cities. You just have to know where you’re walking by and whom you’re with.
@@cincogus same thing for Haiti. Port au Prince is a major city in Haiti but doesn't sum up all of what Haiti is.
Sean’s sense of awareness and do right by his community makes him a star ⭐️
This was a brilliant video that shed light on Haitis situation. Seeing these people trying to live their lives when gangs could shoot any moment, the police don't even get paid because there is no government. Its so sad and I'll keep Haiti in prayers, May God turn this place around.
This guide is the man. He is incredible. Thank you for showing the world what is happening in your country. Hugs to this man !!
This is America very soon, all by design. The democrat cartels already run America 🇺🇸.
big hug to the guide!
I like you where are you
A few years after the disasterous earthquake, the son of some friends was offered a 2 month job in Haiti, during his Summer break from University. He was one of a team sent to source sites for mobile phone masts. He was accompanied by security guards every day and managed to sign up numerous sites. He made a lot of money but could see that the country was sinking into a dangerous mess. A well known mobile phone company was determined to have the most sites. He saw mountains of food aid products on sale on the streets. This was aid sent by countries to feed the population. Corrupt Government officials sold the aid to street vendors. It's sad to see such poverty in the most beautiful of countries.
This is why I hate the word "potential" because when it's not allowed to be fulfilled due to powerful evil people then we see it first hand how it affects the population of those type countries. The current system is set up to keep poor countries poor so that they do not ever overtake the established wealthy nations.
@Eliza Grogan my thoughts exactly beautiful people, beautiful country. It's really sad yet the strength of the good prevail. With beutiful smiling faces through pain, it's incredible.
After the same earthquake disaster you mention, I remember news clips of pallets of cash sitting on tarmacs. Follow up stories explained that they had no idea where this money went. Too much confusion and corruption there.
@@clafong9 too much confusion and corruption everywhere.
Everywhere is beautiful until the breeding begins.
Spent some time in Haiti just after the earthquake in 2011. The city was a little sketchy, but my time there was a pleasure. Loved being able to explore a new country and delve into their culture. Talk about culture shock though. My time there made me ever more grateful for my life in the US
Sean the tour guide is so cool though, I’ve seen him guide other RUclipsrs and the amount of calm and intelligence he has is really badass.

Who has made this country unlivable?
This question is still to be answered 😭
While watching this video not only my eyes but my heart is also crying.
Prayers for my brothers and sisters in Haiti.
Thanks for making such an informative video.
It has been answered. It began with colonization.
As a young woman, I had the opportunity to travel to Haiti in 2013 with my college's French language department. We went to build a cemented playground/area at a school as well as a medical facility (in a later trip). At that time our desire to go and connect with those we were visiting there outweighed the dangers but in retrospect, it was truly a miracle from God we were safe as I can attest that the people there are truly suffering and it's widespread there. God bless us all, especially the Haitians who are a beautiful people with a rich history but circumstance has ravaged their nation. Again, 2013 is not 2023, it may not be wise right now to travel there, I don't know - I recommend knowing who you are visiting and bringing security as my travel group did.
I want to take a moment to appreciate the quality of this video in terms of its resolution and framerate. That can't be cheap to store that much video data, then take all the time it takes to compile it all into a viewable experience, and then render it.
You can tell Sean is very passionate about his carreer.
He's full of shit
yes, he does great at spreading false information, Going to a slum in a country doesn't define the level of security. Haiti is not the most dangerous on earth. Let him next tell his tales of going to north Korea and criticising the government there.
his carreer to spread false information
Thanks for shining a light on what is really going on in Haiti. Such a sad state of affairs. Hopefully one day things will get better. I would live to visit when it is safe. Like so many other countries dealing with political unrest, Haiti could thrive on tourism!
Thanks for this amazing video!
I lived in Montrouis, Haiti for a month, and this video depicts what the Haitian people are facing, perfectly! It is incredibly sad to see the level of corruption in person. This country needs help, but nobody knows where to begin. Also, this translator is amazing!!
This is basically Africa in America... everyone is just so baffled by the concept of running a functional society
Do other countries donate money for Haiti and why do they not have trash pickup police officers Etc
@@margiemontgomery3528 girl please donations money even 1/3 of the money is given to the people
@@margiemontgomery3528 I can only imagine the donations go right into the hands of the government officials/"the oligarchs" and little to nothing actually helps the average person on the street.
When you donate the politicians steal it. During the last big earthquake in 2010, billions was donated to Haiti and none of that money made it to the people
I am a British national living next door in the DR, and I must give you your flowers for producing a honest and non biased documentary. I was a bit weary initially thinking that you were only portraying Haiti in a negative light, however, midway through and towards the end, I had to give in that you were showing your viewers the objective reality on the streets, especially your interviews with the locals. Respect to you and job well done.
For sure.
hard to be unbiased nowadays, appreciate it also!
Of course ur British. So a man shows the worst part of Haiti, which is not even top 50 most dangerous cities in the world and claim the country the most dangerous... of course you'll agree. You're British. The queen was great too, wasn't she? What has she done that was so great? I'll wait
@@sem2006fr Blame the UN for categorizing Haiti as the most dangerous country. I am anti hierarchy, anti slavery, pro freedom and decentralization. The British Crown is an evil institution, trust me, I would know. I am just being objective and unbiased in my observations.
I know a lot of Haitians who are economic migrants and refugees here in the DR. Haiti is a hell hole right now unfortunately, however, you should be worried about your local, because the rest of the world is currently going the way of Haiti as we speak, and it's all by design.
@@sem2006fr I know the truth hurt so why don't you live there then if it's safe?
Shawn/Shaun is amazing! Nothing but the best for him.
So brave of you, such an adventure, stay safe always
Sending prayers. God bless Haiti
Dude you're not just a traveller anymore. You're a new kind of journalist! Great work!
Bro. I spent 8 years in Haiti after the Quake. Lived in the slums. Santo, Croix de Mission, Delmas 33, Croix des Bouquets. Headed south to Port Salut and its lovely beaches. It was a life changing experience. When I hear people complain in Canada or the U.S.A. I shrug. I saw things that I cannot explain. God Bless. Marko.
Sounds incredible. Can't imagine the things you experienced. Respect.
Port salut is nice.
Mark, why were you there? Were you part of the relief efforts and if so, what is your take on how it all went down?
@@IndigoTraveller But why was he there?
What is sad is these folks are coming to America because of a weak President and open boarders. Please save America and vote red.
Thanks for this video it taught me a lot because I used to have it in my head that the entire haiti is poor, until I see that resort on the beautiful hill you went with your guide.
man, i was scared for your safety!! and as usual, great content!! had me on the edge of my seat! thank you!!
Love your videos. I'm a Geography teacher and show them to my students. They love them so much more than the boring informational videos!!
Definitely one of the best ways to teach
Wow! That is excellent!
Cool teacher
If you're a geography teacher, then why would you show them Indigo Traveller's videos? He thrives on spreading fear and causing people in "developed" countries to believe that they're superior to those in "lesser developed" nations. Show your students Drew Binsky, Bald and Bankrupt, Ace Live, Jay Cee Max, or any of the other hundreds of RUclipsrs out there. Some videos only have around a 100 views but give an objective perspective rather than highlighting just the bad.
As an example, just compare how Jay Cee Max portrays Honduras to the way Indigo did. Jay Cee's videos only got around 40k videos, but at least it was an honest perspective rather than just clickbait.
Sean good show! Just don’t start thinking you can come to Sun City Arizona and snoop around!
Gosh. This country deserves so much better.
I’m Haitian and I’m telling you bro, you’re very brave to do something like this. Haiti is actually a beautiful country if you take out the Port-au-Prince part. All the corruption and insecurity is based in the capital. I spent 4 years in university in now what you can considered as one of the worst part of Port-au-Prince. It’s called the “bicentenaire”. Since 2018, things went from bad to worse and now this is and absolute war zone. Like you said, these guys don’t play games down there.
Bon courage! Soyez près du Christ!
Yeah bro outside Port au Prince our country is pretty safe we just need more jobs opportunities our government doesn’t create jobs the only way you can survive is by being a street vendors
Thank you very much for your comment, means a lot coming from a local. In a coming video in this series, we will leave the city to explore more of Haiti :) Much love, Nick :)
@@IndigoTraveller yeah. If you have the means, visit the Citadelle Laferrière and/or Labadee in the north , Jakmel in the south-east or Port-Salut in the south.
And thanks for bringing some of the atrocities that are being perpetrated by the government in these neighbourhoods to the light. Don’t be too political because that can make you a target even if you a foreign individual.
Stay safe.
It's the combination of corruption and disastrous foreign meddling, honestly. I still feel as if we have no idea what went on with the assassination there this winter. People say Colombians and gangs, but Colombians don't just up and fly across the Caribbean to assassinate Haitian presidents without being ordered to. Gangs probably don't either. Who paid them? Who wanted him dead? To me at least all fingers point, or should point, once again at the US government. The last thing he did was refuse to force vaccinate the people at exactly the same time as Joe Biden was trying to force vaccinate Americans. That's my take. He was killed for not toeing the US/WHO line. So when they get that sort of stuff on top of everything else, society collapses. It's the exact opposite of helping.
If we want to help, or perhaps "help" like the last few times, we need to first open our eyes and send anyone other than US or European politicians. Nick made himself more useful in Port au Prince than Hillary Clinton ever did just by making this video. I know it's not a political video, but he should have asked the locals about her or Obama. I think he would have gotten many colorful replies.
richard was amazing. could hear him and sean talk all day
That one dude had a real NY accent! That’s crazy. He had to have grown up in NY.
Sean Is an absolute legend, great reporter, nice human being, and a man who truly wants to see his country flourish
LOL Deported? What was that for?
@@michaelburnham4293 figthing, didn't you hear :D
he's a legend for calling a country that doesn't make the top 10 list in dangerous countries "THE MOST DANGEROUS IN WORLD." He's full of crap
I hope he got good money for his help, good guy Sean!
Wow Sean is absolutely amazing. I hope nothing terrible happens to him.
God be with you all. Keep the faith. ❤ from Nigeria
I'm never gonna complain about my life again
It's important to recognize the suffering of others and count one's blessings, but this isn't as bad as it can get. Look what the people who took over Russia in the nineteen-teens did to the Russian people. 120-150 million dead, they were so starved the government passed laws that people couldn't eat their children. The violence they faced was worse than most of this a lot of the time. It was one of the many terrifying examples of when a people let a hostile government take them over.
Western society is repeating all of those mistakes right now. The rest of the world seems to be either sharing in that downfall or utterly unaware of it. Very dark days are coming for everyone except the string pullers.
@@TheOmaJohn don't hijack my comment to post your far right fashy conspiracy theory shit
Just wait. The whole globe will experience this. It’s coming.
@@williemo44 Same to you, don't hijack my comment to post your far right fashy conspiracy theory shit
Gf didn't cut my sandwich efges off, the fckn bltch, I can't live like this, it's too hard!!!!
i am Greek and in past i was lucky enough to visit Haiti!!! To be honest Haiti was a nice looking country and i really liked it i also met and talked with many Haitian people and they wasvery nice people and very kind ofcourse but i feel sad for them because in their daily life they face big problems and they arent very lucky just as their neighbour country Dominican Republic is or have same good economy... In my country Greece we also have economic problem but its because of my politics and usually most countries have problems responsible are politicians... I just say that!!! Now here in my city i met and became friend with a Haitian guy and because i like learning new language he managed to help me learn Creole which is the official language of Haiti no matter if i couldnt learned because it was hard for me!!! I really thank him and i wish in future all the best for his country Haiti and its people because they dont deserve all those problems they have and ofcourse as i said earlier i love Haiti and its just me but i have one more reason to do because Haiti was the first country that Recognized the Republic of Greece!!! So... I wish all the best to that country and i wish in future Haiti and Greece to become very nice friends and improved our relations... Stay strong my friends!!! God bless all Haitian people because they deserve all the best i hope all your problems will stop some day and if my policians are good they should stop help Turkey which they dont respect or like my country and insult every day my people and me also and better send help in future to countries that they are need help for sure... Unfortunatelly some people looking for their pockets and their own selfs when there are lot countries out there and its people that asking for help and cant get any support for no one!!! Thats sad to me because we are all humans and we need all to be united and have good relationships because life is short and every human needs to help other humans but all we do is nothing...
Just YESTERDAY I was thinking we haven't heard from you in a while. Seeing you is a relief and another valuable learning experience.
Appreciate that you feel that way, thank you
@@IndigoTraveller Why do men and women focus only on money together instead of on each other directly in the mind? It’s really obvious human beings are psychic. It’s cowardly and a distraction to focus on the material instead of love. No amount of money or material development can help with a bad mood. Only honesty in the mind of someone else can help raise our moods and emotions, and we can only see honesty when we show honesty first.
Why are men allowed to be authoritarian socially, violent socially to each other, and violent towards women without question? Is there a specific type of facial feature or body type or skin color or amount of money or religion that gives men a free pass to act like violent and aggressive douchebags and wild animals? Why are these behaviors still popular and socially acceptable in the mainstream?
Why can’t men and women focus on telepathy and friendship openly and directly together, which is love, instead of on things, stuff, religion, money, reputations, careers, government, politics, and authoritarianism? None of those things make us feel happy within.
@@IndigoTraveller love your channel / personality - stay safe 😊
I absolutely love love Sean, he has such an amazing soul. I pray that God covers him daily so he can do what he loves to do as he said. He has such a pure heart and passion; you can hear it in his voice. Wow! He did such an amazing at explaining so much to us and still showing the culture well. Mwen renmen sa; big ups to Sean!!!!
I like that guideman, very very helpful and good source person
You scored a fantastic guide
Wow, I feel so sheltered. My problems seem very small after watching this. It's astounding that in today's world, there are people who have to find ways to adapt to life like this. Thank you for all that you show us, Nick. It's always humbling and heart wrenching. Stay safe and be sure to take care of your back with the size of your balls!
Move to the Austin neighbor of Chicago. You will toughen up a little bit more.
Good and make sure to vote Trump or this is what your neighborhood is going to look like in a few years
Looks like Detroit.
@@j.r.357 much more vertical, it looks like the slums in Dying Light tbh. fuck that's sad there are videogames featuring environments like this :'(
Young Americans need to be sent to these countries to appreciate what we have in America.
I worked for a time in Port au Prince in Baby Doc Era, 1978. I’m shocked at the conditions in this video. Then the City was a Vacation Spot for the French, no Police just unarmed military in administrative capacities, no gangs, no motorcycle hordes, minimal standards but no abject poverty, and no mountains of garbage. And I understand that the industry I was there for has long since moved to D.R.
Hurricanes don't help.
Earthquakes don't help.
Most of all, corruption doesn't help.
Clinton didn't help.
I guess it’s a matter of degrees of evils. Either you have a dictator such as Baby Doc ruling over the populace with terror, or you have corrupt anarchy such as it apparently is now.
Thank you for bringing this pandemic to light.
sean is a gem
I really admire your courage to solo travel to these sketchy places. It’s like the old Vice when they used to produce actual content lol. Love the channel and stay safe man!
cringe.
Vice is still producing awesome content and are still on the 'frontlines'.
touch some grass. 🤡🤡
@@carn1fex_ ‘awesome content’ ‘touch grass’ ah yes
For real
You been living under a rock if you didnt know that Vice been making amazing video's for a while again already, go have a look.
@@budgetking2591 I don’t affiliate with extreme leftist views. The only good content they have is “one star reviews” and the dude Tim Horton or whatever who used to travel, everything else is leftists garbage.
Ive lived and worked in different countries in the Caribean (not Haiti). The Haitians Ive worked with in some of those countries have been some of the hardest working, friendly and even happiest people Ive ever met.
Really cool and sad at the same time to see where theyre coming from.
Thanks man
Hardest working people you said? 🤣 then you haven't work a day in your life
Bruh don’t let these ppl fool you there’s 10 states in Haiti he was only at PAP a city of Haiti
@@unknowndriver6652 yeah tell that to the Dominicans they see their only neighbors haitians as a plague
What this youtuber has shown to you does not represent the entire Island. He has inappropriately selected the ghettos to represent the country.
@@florencelissadetelfort2450 Yes ofcourse I realise that.. I think the title may be a little off but Ive seen most of his other videos and I dont think he did that on purpose.
Ive travelled to over 50 countries myself and am fully aware Ghettos dont represent a whole country, but I think he also does a good job showing the world what life in these particular places is like.
Nice video! Support for the people of Haiti!
This video just makes me grateful that i live in a safe country. It's just so sad of haiti is today.
I'm so happy to see that you are gaining many followers. Your content is so powerful. You and Sean are special people. Prayers for you both and all of Haiti. Stay safe, Nick
Fake comment. Fake profile.
As a first generation American with parents who immigrated from Haiti, this crushes my heart😢. May God bless & restore the beautiful country of Haiti with revival! ❤️ 🇭🇹 ….I’ll do whatever I can to help our people ❤️
God God God, God is all u hear but God never does anything when are people gonna realize God helps no one
@@rubbingisracing6951 - fictional characters rarely help anyone mate !
@@rubbingisracing6951 angsty teenage atheist in every comment that mentions God....... Nobody gives a shit about your beliefs either keep it to yourself.......
@@thetessellater9163 I was once like you. Having a basic understanding of science I too didn't believe in a higher power. Once I really started researching quantum physics and various theories like m theory, and multiple universe theory, everything becomes probable. Not only are the conditions of our universe absolutely perfect, but higher dimensions might populate every possible outcome since theres an infinite amount of universes. There's a Universe in another dimension that has an intelligent designer behind it all if m theory proves to be true. We don't even know what dark energy is, how can you possibly dismiss the existence of God?
@@arlequin241 god was a concept created from the minds of people eho had little understanding...there possibly could be a higher power not one deciding our day to day lives or anything like that cause if it is then i can say that he has made alot of huge major f ups
Me and my family were sailing to DR but the weather turns on us and we were blown to Haiti. The locals in small villages were some of the most welcoming and generous people we ever meet. There was some small time corruption among the authorities but nothing we haven’t seen on other countries. We stayed for a week and had e great time. Not all the country is bad
Great video as usual. You inspire me to take my channel to the next level. I hope that my content can take off just like yours and I wish you the best with your future videos.
