Thank you for watching.
⭕ *Thank you for watching and taking interest in the unfolding events that Haiti is facing.* Every day that I have spent in Haiti has included multiple adrenaline fuelled moment. I really feel for the people of this nation, what they have to face everyday is unfathomable. Stay up to date with my movements here: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/
Just watching this Haiti series, I am mentally exhausted from them. I cant imagine what you, on the ground went through, and that still pales in comparison to living through it daily. Thanks again for this look into a situation we hear almost nothing about.
faster run the country ....i care u much 😅
This is an interesting series. But so heartwrenching. I was a missionary in Haiti for over 4 years.
This is an amazing series, it is unfathomable to even consider what Sean has experienced living there. Nor sure how you ended up having him as your guide, I can't imagine anyone else being able to deliver anything comparable, or you back to your hotel unharmed everyday
indigo great job,u need to go back there help some more people there,and ur tour guide did a great job too u need to help him too his great person
I feel like Haiti has been the most captivating series, thus far, because you don't hear about it too much on international news outlets. Haiti's problems are for the most part ignored and swept under the rug, while the media cherry picks what they find profitable. If it wasn't for independent journalists like Nick, and a small handful of others, we wouldn't have the smallest idea of what's really happening in Haiti, and other countries across the globe. Stay safe, Nick. God bless you, and bless the people of Haiti 🇭🇹
Thank you very much, definitely for me Haiti has been the most extreme trip of my travels so far.
Two journalists got killed in Puerto prince trying to arrange an interview the same time he was there. Definitely not a place just any journalist would go.
Man! Terrible
Big up to Sean
By far my favorite so far
Well Nick has almost been arrested two times if it weren't for Sean. Not to mention the gang violence. So there's your answer why no one goes there.
Sean is a superhero. He carries himself in such a way that he has totally control of the situation and would be the first to lend a helping hand.
He is really good in what he is doing but I also guess he might be bribing people... Especially if the police is acting up that is usually what they want, money.
Have you seen his eyes? Don't know what he's on but it isn't good.
@@philiplindley7384 I'm no doctor, but, I would guess that it's jaundice...not drugs.
@@philiplindley7384 bruh not everyone with red eyes are high, how dumb are you?
and even if he was high, what's the problem? He's functioning well and is obviously a good person.
Correct! Haiti being poor is due to Citibank and France stealing 21 Billion dollars in today money which the New York Times recently made an article on! Then US soldiers stole Haiti’s gold from their central bank and then later the Clintons and Red Cross stole all the billions people donated from the 2010 earthquake not building them a single house!
I must say that Sean has a very, very trained prefrontal cortex given the situations he deals with on the daily. His resilience is on another level. Bless this man
@@A-SaintFort Not at all. Sounds like you were implying that. Let's share love instead of hate.
@@A-SaintFort sure, that's your opinion.
It's the good voodoo
Not common in people of African descent it must be said
I've never done this before, i don't have a lot of money but i believe in what you do and I'm so invested in this series and everything you do!

@@MenachemSchmuel I didn't expect you to look it up lol. I assumed you knew
I think making a fundraiser for Sean (or shaun) would be a neat idea. This guy deserves it. He really helps you and he's an honest and down to earth kind of guy it seems.
Working on it, see next video. Thanks!
Haiti has always been violent. It won’t ever change.
@@IndigoTraveller hell ya would love to see these guys living better
It can be used to pay for his funeral for being so stupid to go to Haiti in the first place. It was a toilet in 1946 when my dad went there in the Navy and it was still a toilet when I was there in 1970. The place is hopeless and the people are lazy. Sorry.
@@Underground-Electronic-Music maybe he could sell prints through an internationally based print on demand service outside of Haiti
Sean deserve an award. Protect Sean at all cost. I would love to give him a love offering because he deserves it.
ayo??
Are you propositioning him? Interesting gameplay!
I am so happy you met Desulme. I had been buying his art for years. He is an amazing artist and he seems to have a message or lesson in each piece. It made me so happy to see he is ok.
I scrolled all the way through, and this is the only comment on the artist... man his work is incredible...world class....and squatting...it's hard to imagine he not have a gallery sponsor...perhaps this video helps him. Crazy how Paul Gauguin esqu it is as is clearly a Haitian tone...very real work
Where can you buy art from him? I think, he is really talented and I would like to help him at least with buying some of his paintings.
@@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs same here looked all over for a comment on that artist his work’s actually very detailed and has a life of its own
@@dj8422 you go over there that's the only way ask the guy who was talking to him where to find him
Is there a way to purchase from him?
I feel like this Haiti series is going to be a very hard series to top after this. This series has been one of the most intriguing, eye opening series that I’ve seen. The people you meet who talk to you about their experiences are so captivating. Sean has been such a wonderful guide and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
@Black Lesbian Poet The poster is no intellectual. And what you ask for is sorely missed. At the same time, this raw exposure of the people on the street is accurate (I've been there for a month; I know) and riveting. I'm surprised that he's not been injured as life is cheap over there, dirt cheap.
@Black Lesbian Poet what is the goal of your comment?
@Black Lesbian Poet keep these scary people out of America 🇺🇸!
Sean is a good mediator, his ability to resolve things in an intense situation is just extraordinary. Huge respect Sir, you are amazing, admirable.
I don't think I've ever seen you quite as on edge and distressed as you clearly are in this video. Nick, you are an inspiration. Very few people in my country (UK) have any concept of what is going on in Haiti. But you've brought it alive for us - the world can't look the other way. Thank you for what you do.
Britain is responsible for this strife due to their involvement in slave trade .
Very few people just up here in the US know either. I feel we maybe owe it to them and to ourselves to do something to help. I mean, they’re our neighbors!
His fear is definitely very palpable.
I'm a big guy and I've been to the most dangerous cities here in the USA but you couldn't pay me enough to even step foot there. Real courage.
I am a missionary here in Haiti and married to a national, and I can tell you this series definitely depicts the goings-on. I am sharing these on Facebook so people know how Haitians are living daily. Thank you Nick and Sean for your bravery.
What the name of your Facebook
Hello, What is it like there now 10 months since ur comment?
@@steelixian1705 I want to know to ? What happened to Sean and also Haitian that was deported from NYC I want to know if they are ok ?
As a foreign-born Haitian, I’m emotional watching this because my early memories of Haiti before 2010 is not the same Haiti we see now. I appreciate that you are giving a raw, unedited image of what’s happening in Haiti.
Haiti has always been filled with problems and issues. Maybe not to this degree but it wasn’t starkly different pre earthquake. There were still issues with kidnappings for instance (I grew up in Miami and went to school with a girl who fled Haiti because gangs were kidnapping people rampantly) in 2006.
You put so much on the line to get this footage out there, your journalism is unmatchable. Please keep up the good work but most importantly stay safe! From your neighbour in Australia ❤🇦🇺
Thank you Liam and love to Aus!

Let slaves govern themselves and this is the results. Terrible!
My dad moved back to Haiti a couple weeks ago and everyone tried to tell him not to go but he wouldn’t listen. He just loves that country so much and would rather be there instead of the US which I will never understand Thankfully he lives 2 hours outside the capital so it’s not wild like this but it still dangerous. Everyday my siblings and my mother are worrying about him and it’s been especially tough on mom. My dad does lots of work for his community and wanted to be there to do even more work which I respect 100%. He’s always been a man that would give up his last dollar to help. He’s a wonderful man and I ask that you all keep him in your prayers. He has an organization down there doing work and if you like to donate let me know. I can reach out to him to get the info on how to donate. Even a few dollars helps. His organization was able to raise about $3k to send close to 60 children to school for the year. If you don’t feel comfortable giving to him it’s okay but find a way to help someone out there. It’s not Haiti only suffering. So many ppl throughout the world are suffering even in this country. If you are watching a video like this I would assume you have empathy so show empathy to all humans and try to help anyway you can. Nothing is too small for someone who has nothing. One love ❤
Respect to your dad, without superheroes like him these people have no chance. He obviously understands that. The best care for others more than themselves. ❤️ from Australia.
@@Pizza_Pizza703 well he waited until we were old and all have moved out. I’m 30 and my brothers and sister are in their mid 20s. I def feel sad for my mom as she is alone now but me and siblings are always checking up on her with a phone call and a visit. I don’t 100% agree with what my pops did but I respect. Ever since I was young he always said he would go back to Haiti to go help out there. Truly when he’s in Haiti he feels relaxed but with what’s going on in the country now i dont know if he will find that relaxation. I’m getting married next year so that’s most likely the next time I see him. I pray that he can make the change in his community that he is looking to make. I could never make a move like my pops did but that’s what makes him special. He is always willing to help even at his own detriment.
With all due respect your dad is an idiot. Haiti doesn't owe anything to your dad, from what I am reading, USA is what made you, your family etc. situation good. His allegiance should be USA not Haiti. It's really easy to go to a poor country with US money, but if he actually was on that Haiti salary his whole life he'd probably give his kidney for a chance to be in USA.
aba isiani
@@Pizza_Pizza703 that what Haitian men do. Probably been sending money, building a house and another family. Finally excuted his plan and left
Sean is probably the reason why Nick can still upload youtube videos. Even sitting across the world in front of my screen, i can feel that its real intense.
Sean seems like such an amazing guy. You can see the both the sadness and love he feels for Haiti when he talks about his country. It's sad to see how bad things have become in Haiti. Sean has really touched me. I hope things in Haiti can somehow improve for him and the people of that country.
Sean is the proof that Haiti still have a future. Their are great people in even the worst of communities.
its true i have no idea how you can have such a great attitude in complete misery
You can also point at many more and it proves that they don’t have a future lmao.
The Haitian politicians are the one making Haiti poor
but they need intervention from outside to restore order because the government seems to be working with the criminals.
@@lcfflc3887 nope, they will only blame outsiders. It's up to them to fix their problems.
Nick, i know shooting this series was really hard for you but i gotta say these videos showcase your journalism skills better than any series that you have done before. I never knew Haiti was this dangerous or lawless until i saw your videos, because there is literslly no news outlet that tlaks anout the situation in that country, it almost feels like they have abonded by the world. So thank you so much for bringing light into issues of Haiti. And i hope you are feeling much better emotianlly right now. (Also as always big gratitude to Sean and his communication skills)
Thank you so much, far too kind. Appreciate your words.

Yes we are abandon
i feel like this guy is bullshitting about what happens when he turns the camera off honestly. keep the camera on and pointed at the floor when these supposed crazy moments go down. it's not like they're smart enough to know you're lying anyway, you could tell them the camera is magic and they'd believe it.
@@johnsmith-xe7ri Why don’t you go to Haiti this summer on your holidays? See how you get on.
This Haiti series has been absolutely brilliant and enthralling. Depressing and shocking certainly, but also seeing people like Sean and the artist trying to do their best in such awful circumstances is really heartening.
Thank you for doing this series. I live in the central plateau of Haiti and we don’t get to see what’s happening in Port since we can’t travel there. We merely hear of it. I’m sharing this with many. Prayers to you as I KNOW you’re literally risking your life to report on the humanitarian crisis here. If you need anything while you’re here, let me know.
I'm so glad you have someone like Sean to help and keep you safe Nick. It's just so sad to see how these people live.
Sean is too smart for a place like that. He deserves to live in a good safe place.
@@MrCloud-ob7sh places that are "good and safe" are that way because Sean's people don't live there.
@@johnsmith-xe7ri maybe get off of youtube and educate yourself better. Your ignorance is loud. Read more about history and the sociological consequences that lead to these situations. Humans are greatly impacted by their environment, theyre not inherently "bad". Your environment made you ignorant, and youre not even using your resources to educate yourself, damn, you shouldnt be talking down on others. work on yourself first.
@@user-sk4ry3di5l Ya, stop looking at patterns. Almost like people, much like birds and dogs, have natural instincts that drive them in completely different ways. Educate yourself!
@@user-sk4ry3di5l i don't care why these people are poor/violent/stupid. i just don't want to be around them, simple as that.
Sean is an icon, what a series this has been!
Being from the Caribbean, and having spent most of my 15-year-old life, there, it shocked me beyond belief, that this kind of thing is happening near hundreds of miles away from where I used to live. Thanks for doing what you do, and entertaining us along the way. You are a true legend.
What was it like as a 15 year old back then also what year was this ?
“Quite the challenge to find anything that’s not terrifying or depressing” dang nick. We all appreciate you for doing this. Expert journalism
Hey Nick, what can we as a community do for Sean? I feel obligated to help him as these videos would clearly not be possible without him.
I am working on something and will reveal it in the next video :)
@@IndigoTraveller awesome, looking forward to it. I just have a feeling he would know where to send money or whatever that will have a direct helpful impact.
@@worldwed Go there and help them organise because they lack it
@@Armed-Forever I neither have the money or skills to assist and I'm pretty sure Sean would know what orgs, schools etc are worth helping.

This Haiti series has been insane. Sean is honestly a legend, simply amazing how he conducts himself. And excellent reporting and superb journalism by Nick as usual. Stay safe guys.
Your guide is a most valuable asset. I also admire how he doesn't lie to you, and when things are too disturbing he only says" I can't talk about that", yes, those are human bones, and very likely baby parts, yes, baby's remains and other awful, unmentionable things. Keep safe, Godspeed.
First of all, I want to thank you for having had the courage to go out and record under those various stressful and depressing circumstances. I hope you'll get to rest a bit before your next destination because it will be needed for your mental health.
I'm Haitian. The last three years and a half have been like hell. A lot of your audience lives abroad and many of your viewers have been concerned for you and the people of Haiti, the situation has gotten to this point because of lack of governance and corruption for decades. I also want to add that the international community like the US hasn't been an ally. Those guns that starving gang members are holding are worth thousands. Those guns are released through ports and distributed. Clearly, the sorrow of Haiti is the fruit of many corrupted minds who have one mission really: exploit, destroy and keep Haiti at the mercy of international foreign aid.
I ask every single one of you to help however you can by donating to trusted organizations, sending good positive thoughts, buying goods from Haitian artists. I saw that many of you would like to support Sean which is great but please don't advertise it too much online for his own safety.
Finally, I wish you all the best Nick on your future travels. I'm so sorry that you didn't have the opportunity to explore some of our magnificent beaches and countryside towns. Until one day when things are better.
Peace!
How is everything now?
@@reginasmith6276 Hi Ms. Regina, it is intense still but a few months ago (April) some citizens took matters to their hands and killed many gang members. It resulted in a movement called "Bwa Kale" which has provided relief in CERTAIN areas not all. I am just asking people to ask people on the grounds rather than focusing on reports done by US media because it doesn't show everything just what they can gather from their own perspective. At the moment, it is intense in the downtown area, especially in one locality "Carrefour-Feuille" where many people have been murdered, and the ones had to escape and relocated in very dire situation. I, as an Haitian, donate and help out the best I can but it is just a dire situation. Thank you for asking how things were. Blessings your way!
@@belle4978 Be safe l hope everything gets better in Haiti, l hope they realize what the revolution war was all about not against self but against the oppressor. I don't know what's worse being in a oppress environment or self independent country that's at war with one another.
When you leave MAKE SURE sean/shaun gets a good reward man...He has looked out for you every time when he could have just pocketed some money and ditched and let you be kidnapped.
And good on you too indigo, Some insanely brave content man.
As a Dominican American , i really feel saddened by the fact that we both share the same island and live drastically different realities . The fact there’s no sight of change or being on the path of positive trajectory it’s truly a tragedy. Hopefully one day ill be able to visit a a prosperous and glorious Haiti .
Truly saddening.

Don t expect too much from the futur. It s going bad and getting worst worldwide...
So let them cross the border into your country ?
@@GeminieCricket He's Dominican American, aka American. He doesn't have a say.
Also no, they shouldn't cross.
Living in America being from Jamaica. This gives me a real taste of what life is like watching these, also take me back to it. This paradise like place we live in that we grind for everyday is easy vs what they do and we must not complain or be unappreciative.
This makes me so angry, sad, and anxious all at the same time.
Your tension during filming was palpable. Thank you for your courage, diligence, and empathy.
This is important work.
I just want to say, this Haiti series has been the best youtube content I have watched, I bet you and Sean will get some kind of journalist award for this, you two deserve it!
Boy, do they ever! I wonder if there is a way for us - the viewers - to help get this content into the running for the big awards. It is extraordinary journalism here. We’re privileged to be able to watch. He and Sean absolutely deserve numerous awards for it.
People like you and Sean must be protected at all costs. Thank you for all the emotional turmoil you have endured in order to show us a Nation that is truly silenced through most media outlets.
And what would y’all do? Literally nothingX this is nothing more than entertainment to yall .
@@sinefromabovebabylon3577 Exactly! These people couldn't really care less. It's half an hour of entertainment, so they can feel superior, and express their savior complexes.
@@richardb8104 you explained it perfectly.
So glad you two found each other to stroke each other's egos. Must be love at first sight. 🥰
This is truely the most cruel and heartbreaking society I have ever seen. I can't even imagine living in a world like this. I wish stability comes to Haiti and to the lives of people like Sean
Sean is one of the coolest friends you have featured yet. I love his calm and stoic nature. I greatly respect and enjoy your work. I hope you have many exciting adventures ahead of you.
This series has been insane, the danger you put yourself into to get this videos out is insane! Thanks for doing this and making content. And showing the world about Haiti!
Thank you for watching!
Hi nick thanks for these videos about Haiti. I live in Montreal Quebec’s province, French speaking province so you see a lot of Haitians here trying to survive and have a better life and help their families. Send you hugs. Take care!

Sean is shining with his charisma and energy. It's like he's got little angels around him protecting him.
I love the work that Sean is doing. We need more people like him in this world.
Why hasn’t the Clinton foundation helped them ?
I would’ve been on the plane back the next day. You’ve got balls of steel. It’s unbelievable that you’ve managed to stay as long as you have.
Thank you for watching and the kind words.
@@IndigoTraveller not at all. You’ve inspired me to travel the world and see what there is to offer. I’m planning on travelling to Saudi Arabia in the future which I never would have before.
@@Zei33 Hopefully you're not a woman! I've often noticed that most of these travel documentaries are by young(ish) men. I would be really interested to see a woman doing something like Palin's 'Around the World in 80 days'. Even though it was 40 years ago I think, even now, a woman simply wouldn't be able to cross by land and sea as he did. It would also be interesting to see who would reach out to her as a traveller, if any, and whether she'd be forced into female only company, particularly in some of the Eastern and Central countries.
@@fluffyfour go and watch "itchy boots" on RUclips she is a woman who travels all over the world on a motorcycle by her self.She is currently in Alaska but she has been traveling through south and north America since last year
I can't imagine you haven't been offered $$$ to bring your talent to some kind of news organization so I simply want to say THANK YOU for keeping it real through all these years. It speaks volumes to the sincerity of your mission to show the world as it truly is.
May be because content too subjective. But very good of course.
I’m sure people have reached out to him, but he probably won’t sell out to some corporate people.
I can't watch this without a steady supply of tissues. Honestly. Thank you for your work and bravery, your guide is amazing as well and incredibly humanizes the situation for most of us, who only get news about Haiti from headlines of major news corporations.
Dang Nick.....I'm not going to relax until I see the series done...glad you are obviously home safe and sharing this tale.
Sean saves your day every time. Such a calm and easy-going guy yet lives in that hell on a daily basis. Excellent series!
Dominican here.
I appreciate you showing what REALLY is going on in Haiti. A lot of north american outlets like Vox like to blame Dominican Republic for all the injustice Haitians have gone through without realizing Haiti has been plagued by corruption ever since Haiti got it's indenpendence.
The gangs and violent crimes are accentuating the issue. This lawlessness is exactly what makes it difficult for Dominicans or any foreign country whatsover to help them. And that's what left us with a very sour relationship.
I sympathize with the protesters/rioters but their methods won't work and will continue to worsen the situation. What Haiti needs is political stability and sadly foreigners can't help much there without overstepping their boundaries.
Having lived in Nigeria as a foreigner for 9 years as a kid/teen, I've felt the anxiety that you mention. There is always a chance of bad things happening especially if you aren't a native.
Have you considered carrying photocopies of your passport first and last page? Might help with the cops vs carrying nothing.
I have seen most of your videos, and i really like them, they are so interesting. I have to say, for what i have seen, your contact (Sean?) on Haiti, have to be the best ive seen. God bless this man.
sean is an amazing dude, he is a glimmer of light in a country that is in complete turmoil
undercover footage or google glasses would make for some incredible footage, obviously not feasible but would be really something to see those interactions
Nick, you are restoring my faith in journalism and in basic, simple, non emphatic kindness. And coming from me, as someone who is truly disgusted by mainstream media, this really is a compliment. As for Sean....what can I say? I am speechless. He is fighting a personal war against all odds. If that's not heroism, I don't know what is.
As someone who has traveled to intense places, the advice I would give is to arrive in Haiti with many photocopies of your passport so that you can at least show the police something if you are stopped. The choices are not between your real passport or nothing. Photocopies are usually a good stop-gap.
Hello! I’m a Filipino, currently living here in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, I love your videos and I really admire your courage to film these type of stories. God bless you!
cant even imagine the sense of relief you have when you make it back to your room.
Absolutely.
never stop what you are doing, me and my fiance are addicted to your videos and stories!
im looking forward to the one where his guide announces that indigotravler has been skinned alive and eaten by the local villagers.
Makes me feel even more grateful and privileged to be from New Zealand bro, showing the world how it really is in countries like hati while letting us know your barely scratching the surface with what really goes down. Its a real eye opener
@@Phisherman86 what are you talking about?
i enjoy these documentaries so much, each episode feels like 5 minutes, but is in fact 25-30 min, thats just crazy and it means you are doing a great job!
Keep them episodes coming, been watching since the Ukraine series.
this one gentleman's art and figurines were absolutely stunning.... I wish him and his family all the best.
Sean should be the go to guy for anyone daring to visit that country. I can't imagine what might have happened had he not accompanied you. He's worth his weight in gold.
The driver/guide in this video is amazing.... kind, thoughtful, protective, and a peacemaker in difficult situations... and this is typical of most Hattians. I've known many over the years and they're generally quite lovely people.
Sean seems like such a cool and amazing dude. And I have no idea how you seem to remain so composed throughout all of this. But I’m more impressed with your ability to ask just the right questions to really convey the reality of the situation there though asked with objectivity as well as empathy and respect. I wish you both the very best. Thank you both for doing what you’re doing.
I'm stressing out big time just watching this on my computer and I'm on my couch in Canada, you're on another level Nick, you're very cougagous, I couldn't do it, no way, nope. Sean is a great man, you're very lucky to have found him to guide you on this journey. Amazing seriers, they all are but this is exceptional!!!
Intense. This is much more than a travelogue. Thank you for your honesty and calm demeanor. In between the mayhem and chaos in the streets, I catch glimpses of people going about their ordinary daily business and kids going to (or coming from) school, or even people painting! If that's not testimony to human resilience, I don't know what is. Respect to the victims of maladministration and state and gang violence. Salute Sean! Salute Indigo Traveler!
Thank you for your words, indeed, the resilience is beyond words.
Your guides ability to deescalate a situation is incredible. He’s worth his weight in gold.
I’ve watched your channel for a couple years now and I don’t think I’ve ever been as nervous for you as I was during your time in Haiti. Tremendous content though, you’re one of the best at what you do!
I'm reading thru the comments, and I'm not entirely sure if any of us that are watching this from the comfort of our homes, have pieced together that this is just a preview of what "they" want for the entire world. Why do you think this is not on your evening news? Unfortunately, Haiti is one of the many places for their test subjects. This will come to a theatre near you in some way shape or form. The movie might be a little different in your country, but the basic plot the same. We need to stop letting them divide us. We need to realize people across the world have more in common than you think. They don't want unity and peace. They want division and chaos. On another note, Nick I am so sorry people want to criticize your intro or have you in danger by recording audio. I'm sorry people have no imagination. I have so much gratitude for you doing this series. And let's all give Sean some praise for his work in all of this. The love for his country shines thru, and obviously this whole project would not be without him.
Please look after Sean - he is a real gem of a human being!
This is what RUclips was made for, every minute of each episode I feel like I am there with you and wish I could do more! Stay safe!
Anyone else eager for this series to be over so Nick can get somewhere a little safer? Haha
Good work as always! Stay safe out there.
Sean is his driver
Why lol because he's white?black people live in this country everyday
@@livyloveee619 because he’s a visitor, and it’s a very dangerous country. Seems pretty self explanatory.
ahahhah
I think the saddest thing in this series is the look on the faces of the people in the streets - just beaten and defeated, especially the women. I pray that things will turn around quickly for Haiti and I also want to compliment Sean as so many others have. He's an amazing person and probably the only guide who could have gotten you out of jam after jam after jam after jam like he did. Whatever you paid him, it wasn't nearly enough as you owe your life to this gentleman..
Sean is amazing. He was featured in another Haiti vlog recently on Chris Must List’ channel.
Man, you really deserve a worldwide recognition, not for big up yourself, but people like you, and all the guides that had stay with you in your travels, has to be part on a movement for a little better world. stay safe man
You've found a friend for life there with Sean, what a good man! Enjoying the Haiti series, blessings for the people of Haiti for a better future
Previous 5 uploads from Haiti were all at 11 AM on Sunday... You really have me worried Nick. Please be safe.
Yeah I logged on to check up and now I’m worried as well. Nick knew the risk and had a lot of close calls. Is there anyway to know he’s alright?
Visited Haiti twice, 2014 and 2016. The culture there is absolutely breathtaking, the people couldn’t be the nicest and aside from all the 18th century deforestation, the country is remarkably beautiful, but the condition of the country is truly heartbreaking. A lot of destruction from the 2010 earthquake when I visited and trash for miles in Port-au-Prince on city blocks, the videos speak for themselves. I want to go back again someday and continue to do volunteer work there. I never went into areas like this since we had such a large group, we stayed at a local hospital and church an hour outside of the city, and our local guides were the most badass guys on the planet. But I remember sleeping on the rooftops because they would need to turn off electricity at night so they could save money, so it was cooler to sleep on the roof. And you could hear gunshots ring throughout the night. Very scary but was so happy to go twice and would go back in a heartbeat just to give support from the 2021 quake, give aid for the people and eat their delicious homemade food ❤️🙏 fantastic video series man thank you so much for this, glad you are safe!
❤️❤️❤️
Unbelievable series mate! Haiti looks like it could be an absolute paradise
Thank you, yes, it is surreal.
It could be. There are so many nice places. We have an amazing and colorful culture.
It seems like Sean is a character in a RPG with maximum level of charisma. Capable of getting out of any situation by just using his tounge and and a level of understanding like no other!
Yea homie maxed out the charisma he’s a chad your guide
Keep you head up, thanks for spreading awareness and giving these people a voice. I can’t even imagine what they go through every day 😢
Sean is your guardian angel. He is one solid and calm man.
Crazy to think that we wouldn’t know this was all going on without your series. Another surreal and I’m just speechless. Amazing series.
They are always protesting. It never stops. Ten years or 100 from now, it will all be the same!
They have lived like this ever since they slaughtered the French and turned "the Jewel of the Antilles" into this african hell over two hundred years ago. The U.S. military has built that place into a proper country twice, but as soon as they leave it just becomes this again. How do you not know this?
Thank you for covering this and releasing your footage of what is going on in Haiti. This is really important and meaningful coverage. I hope you stay safe and the people of Haiti can somehow heal and rebuild. Love to everyone
this seems to be your toughest work yet. thanks for all you do
Definitely, thanks for watching
My family is from Haiti 🇭🇹 I was born in the US I'm so thankful for everything I have this could've been me I'm so thankful wow! The last time I went there I was 3 years old I'm 37 now I'm sooo thankful!!! When you think you have it bad remember someone will always have it worse then you.
You’re not Haitian.
@@sinefromabovebabylon3577 His parents are Haitian. So that makes him Haitian by Association. Please stfu.
@@sinefromabovebabylon3577 no duh 🙄 my mother and father is had they met in Haiti I would of been stuck there is what I'm saying sheesh!!! Read my friend read!!!
As someone who goes to Haiti regularly, I can attest to the fact it’s is crazy there right now. Truly you will see some of the most beautiful people and spirits there but unfortunately some of the darkest as well. I love Haiti, thank you for risking your life to highlight the Tragic situation in Haiti. I pray the UN steps in soon!
Thank you for sharing your unique perspective and thanks for watching. Nick
Best travel channel on RUclips by far. Appreciate all the love and dedication you have put forth to making these videos! Honestly, some of the best travel content on the internet. My heart goes out you, Sean and all the people in Haiti going through all this turmoil and tragedy.
I can’t tell you how amazing your channel is. I just subscribed and will continue to support your missions in some of these most difficult situations in the countries we don’t know much about. Thanks for giving me a look
This series has been incredible, thank you. Even having visited Haiti for 2 weeks in 2015, it’s so different and sad to see the state of the country 7 years later. Unfortunately it’s a stark example of how a country’s history has a profound impact on how everything transpires.
I Love your videos and I am absoloutley addicted. My school recommends your channel to geography gcse students, so the word is getting out there, thank you so much for teaching us :)
Thank you for watching them. Incredible about your school, send videos if you can to my instagram, would love to see the classroom. Thanks again :)
@@IndigoTraveller Okay I will do , thank you so much :)
I am grateful that Sean was able to this for you, for everyone of us. It is crazy to see how life is in these impoverished countries. Did you notice at 9:17 that there was a guy trying to open the door to the car, and have you noticed if it happened often whether in Haiti or any other country you have been to?
I've been following all the videos from Haiti. Huge respect that amid all the chaos you are covering everything.
I can’t even imagine how emotionally exhausted you are. This is an excellent series and seeing your journalism grow over the years and different countries you’ve visited is truly exciting to watch. Make sure you give yourself some down time when you get home to rest and recuperate.
My French teacher is Haitian. I'm Hawaiian and I don't know how a Haitian got to Hawaii but someone asked him what Haiti is like now since he said he visited 2 years ago. He said he is very sad to see what Haiti has become. He said when he was a child they had more money and they could go anywhere they liked and they were free to roam. I searched it up and ended up falling into your channel. Thanks for posting these.
mad respect in what you are doing over there , showing the light on a place so dark is very much needed, much love
Sean is braver than I would ever be. My heart goes out to the People of Haiti, they just want a better life. Sean, thank you for reporting on this crisis. You are the man! I hope others do not try to imitate you as I feel the odds are not in their favor. Please keep yourself out of danger whenever and wherever you can.
As much as i am glued to these uploads and you are doing a more than an amazing job, i will be pleased to see the footage of when you are on the plane and flying to safety. Keep safe. x
These paintings are so beautiful. This man is really talented. Is there any way to buy paintings of him and support him and his family?
It's crazy how well you make myself, and I can only assume others as well, feel so immersed in your videos. Throughout this series I've felt like I was actually in Haiti experiencing a fraction of what daily life is like for the masses in that country. Thank you
Thank you Sean! Without you this seemingly would have been an impossible video to make without you as a guide. The love you have for your country is truly admirable.
Im lost for words. Im sitting in my safe and warm kozy house in Iceland watching these people fight for their lives. I admire their strength and courage depsite facing all these hellish obsitcles.
And to Nick...I thought I was a tough bad-ass but I wouldn't last 10 minutes in this chaos.
Thank you for all your videos and a big ❤️ to the people of Haiti ✌️
Holy cow. These Haiti videos are something. Two friends of ours were in Haiti participating in the UN mission and they both came back disturbed. I mean I'm talking about professional soldiers. One came back from this "peacekeeping mission" with PTSD and the other one with depressions. Your videos made me understand why. I watched the Yemen vids after Haiti and it just seems like a great vacation spot in comparison. Interestingly, I had thought that Haiti was relatively alright, whereas Yemen was extremely dangerous. I stand corrected.
The UN is part of the problem. I don't mean to implicate your friends... They probably had no idea what they walked into... but read old articles on what the UN soldiers were doing in Haiti.... child/female trafficking, rape.
These are emotionally intense to WATCH let alone be a part of - I can't imagine what daily exposure to this life would do to your brain. This is such important work you are doing. Thanks for the video, as always, I want to buy one of those paintings - wish there was a way.
Ones nervous system would adjust
Nick, thanks for this education on what’s happening in Haiti. Sean, if you happen to read this, I love your attitude and hope you are able to see things improve in your country.
