Inside Rarely Seen Rural Corner of America 🇺🇸
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 мар 2024
- Near the Gulf of Mexico and the Bayou is a part of the country where the locals move to a different tune. This is Southern Louisiana, an America steeped in a culture that started before the founding of the country. Here they have their unique food and traditions, and for many of the elders, their own language. Join me as we meet the Cajuns who call this place home.

Thank you Peter 😊Happy Saturday 💜🥰
Two kinds of fuel at that gas station. Fuel your car and your body. Way to go!🙏❤️❤️🙂
Great video Peter as always!
Your hosts here in this farm have a vision for the future! Beautiful to see a family that works together and wants the best future possible. We need more people like this to keep our country going forward,this is the true way of living. Big Ag companies are the ones using whatever is cheapest to produce as quickly as possible at the cost of the consumers! Nothing good comes from Monopolizing farming
Keep up the great work,Peter! Looking forward to seeing the next videos in this series ❤
Americans should move away from Christianity, Christianity is the reason for all the problems in America
Is this the new modern day slavery? Thank you for exposing. look how happy they all are.
Watching from Germany. Peter's video's changed my view about America: there are still many "normal", very nice people to be found. Completely different from the view you get from the regular media, where I find most people just a bit out of touch with things that really matter. Allen is really a great, great guy: respect.
I'm in America and he has changed my view of a lot of places too!
If you gauge our culture from Hollywood, music videos, commercials or the Democrat/Marxist in this country, you would be surprised how normal we actually are.
@@WayCoolJr27 Y'all really gonna come to a channel that's all about showing how much diversity America has and then try to smear half the country as "Democrat/Marxists"? No self-awareness.
@@WayCoolJr27Haha, I was thinking, so nice to see something about the USA that is NOT about elections. But it popped up again. 😮 Would love to keep this comment section free of references to either dems or reps. 😢 Have a great day though
Unfortunately most conventional media sources exist to further their narrative, and they only show a very curated, narrow view of a culture/country/people.
What I have found is that the vast majority of people are just "normal" people, out doing their thing, according to their local customs. In North America, both Canada and the USA, most people, especially rural folk, are very accommodating, friendly, resourceful and generally don't focus on politics. They have their opinions and will share them but it doesn't stop them from having a good conversation. Just don't tell them how to live.
Jose is a great man! He comes here legally and contributes to our country. He is one that should become a citizen.
That’s nice and all, but they are lying about us not wanting to work. They are outsourcing jobs to cheap labor while telling lies that we don’t want to work. Maybe be time he’ll interview a Cajun who isn’t a farmer and see how we had to leave the thick rural areas to find work and a home. Because no one in the sticks is selling their land and they are fracturing Cajun culture with their own greed.
Yeah I like him. I have no issue with people like him coming here, not at all. I feel bad for him. How upsetting it must be to do things the right way and see people basically rewarded for doing it the wrong way.
Problem is he's been replaced with people that seem to be looking for something...different. Give an inch take a mile kind of thing. Completely overwhelmed us
Immigrants work harder and pay more taxes than the racist Americans that hate on them (and they’re less violent than Americans)
Very costly to become an American citizen. Had a friend from Mexico take 2 to 3 years processing time and he had to go back to Mexico for 1 year with his American wife and son. He spent over $30k.
Jose does it by the rules. He may have been born with the connections or rose up and maintained his status. He repeatedly pays for the privilege by working hard, making the fees, and pleasing the rule makers. The poor, without the connections or money, even if they can work hard, will be denied the privilege by the coercive rule makers. Most of the rules the farmer complains about are from the same rulers. There's also a little coercive competition control as well.
That shop worker is so enthusiastic and her attitude is amazing she seems like such a warm soul
Every single person literally I have met out here has been exactly like her. No matter where you go. It’s not just the camera they are putting a show on for. Just met someone at a lake, she invited my kids to play with her kids toys, gave us lots of info and recommendations about the nearby town, and made us feel like we were old family friends. It’s something else, uncomfortable even for someone like me.
and a beautiful happy cajun accent!
@@bbbbb7813 I want to move to Cajun country 😢😢😢
It's great to see my fellow Mexicans being welcomed by amazing Americans, coexisting. United we stand, divided we fall.
Contrary to what certain political agendas want you to believe, most Americans (especially outside the big cities) are welcoming and respectful to everyone, as long as people are respectful in return and well-intentioned.
Us Americans just want the people that come here to love America and to want to be American. Bring your culture but also embrace ours. Instead of being divided we want to be neighbors but we also don’t want people pouring in and demanding money. That’s what really pisses people off. But if you come here and work hard and add something to our neighborhoods and learn English and fly our flag high then welcome to America brother. Glad to have you.
Doors should swing both ways if we can go into Mexico or Meso-America rather. Then that’s the way it should be.
All are welcome if you hear with good intentions and you confirm to the American way. Just like Jose said.
@@nomandatoryvaxing7433 This is so extremely well said, and absolutely True.
Peter, I’m a counselor at Christian high school. Can I just say, your channel is a literal Sociology class for students (and frankly anyone) in the world. I lead an 11th grade guys small group and I had them watch your video with Titus as you both hitchhiked your way to Nashville so Titus could share the Gospel.
This content is genuine, interesting and entertaining. Better than any textbook.
You have also given me places to take my family on vacation rather than just a beach or a theme park. God bless you Peter.
We need less religion in this world
I really liked your comment. When I was in the US in 2013, I visited Mississippi and Alabama, with my visa I didn't have time to visit Louisiana. All these places where Peter went and that I visited, I had the same impression. Friendly people, lots of history, rich culture, delicious food, and contact with people telling about their lives and sharing experiences. This had a great value for me.
I agree, I love the titus video and many many others.
@@carvalhoribeiro😅
Good Teacher
Hi Peter. (8:06) this lovely woman is my aunt! I’m so proud of her and love her deeply. Apparently this video got their shop some attention! Thank you so much! God bless!
That’s awesome! Hopefully it keeps up!
That shop looks really awesome ❤
the young lady giving the tour of the shop is awesome
The energy was infectious. I am from the UK and want to visit this shop.
I want a relative in New Orleans. Lucky you.
I love that people are intetested in this. It's regular everyday people. It doesn't have to be celebrities.
Im a Louisiana native living up north, years ago i had a flat in indiana. I was on the side of the road, clearly struggling when a car passed me and turned into a drive 200 feet away. I told my niece, "if i was in Louisiana, 3 cars would have stopped to help by now. Just then, a work van full of men pulled up and offered to change my tire. Turned out, they were from Louisiana too! 🖤
That Cajun store girl is a natural Star!! Loved her!
i love her
i love her more than you do@@govan6492
Indeed
Thats how a lot of us are...
I’m with Jose’s mentality. As a naturalized American coming from a 3rd world country, me and my family sacrificed, worked hard, paid taxes and in return America gave us comfort compared to from where I came from. Proud to be called also as an American.
Proud to have you as a fellow American my friend.
You probably vote party-line dem and flash it all down the toilet.
This 💯💯
I just have to say as someone who did it the right way to see the way our country is being destroyed and our people so disrespected is so heartbreaking we need more citizens like you!!!!!!!
@@barbaramiller9660 Amen 👍🏽.
Watching from The Netherlands, growing up in small town countryside. You are showing the parts of Amercia and its people we love. Old values, hard work and friendship. Love the videos.
We've been coming down from the Eastern Shore of Maryland for the past few years every August/September to go gator hunting. This part of the country is something that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime because while the videos and pictures are beautiful, to actually be there in person is on another level. Being isolated in those back bayous and farm land, is almost a state of euphoria and feels like you're on another planet. It's the most peaceful and tranquil place that I have ever experienced and cleanses the soul. The people are the nicest you'll ever meet and the food is the best we've ever had. Can't wait to go back down and spend time where everyone feels like family and takes care of each other no matter the circumstances.
Please leave them Maryland voting habits in Maryland.
Peter: I've seen many youtubers try to do what you do but you are, hands down, THE BEST!
100%. No one compares.
Jose is a real gentleman. Wish him and his family all the best
Peter and Erin were so excited to show Mr Santenello something I thought would be a big allegator but it was a beautiful ancient Oak Tree. My sore and sorry heart melted and I felt faith in humanity again. America's future is safe in their hands.
As a Canadian who suffers the long cold winters, Louisiana and Cajun culture seems like heaven to me. Thank you for these fantastic videos Peter, they are wonderful.
Louisiana is as stunning as the Appalachian countryside. Everyone basically having the best time of their lives without interrupting people all the time.
🦘🐨🇦🇺 on my bucket list
@@closer2theheart684looking forward to the Creole as well.
Absolutely! @@timeforchange3786
@@closer2theheart684I was thinking the same thing too. Us mtn folk would get along just fine with the Cajuns! The bench for the old timers outside the store reminds me of how WNC used to be. Good country folks are the same at their core everywhere
Appalachia series had me thinking is that the new retirement place? The land in a lot of those places is so cheap. I saw on zillow they had like a compound with sick mountain views tucked way back that if you didn't know any better you would not realize there was even a house back there from the road. A garage with insect screen converted to a mancave, a separate garage for all his toys like 4 wheelers etc, a pool and a hot tub in a 3 bedroom 2 bath manufactured home (this was the only downside to me) for like $150,000. I'm a single man with no children about to enter my 40s. To me that sounds like one sweet cheap place to retire to with all the toys you could ever want lol. The only thing is I wouldn't want to be so deep in Appalachia that it's going to take me 20+ minutes to get to the grocery store. I kind of want a hybrid best of both worlds, where I can drive into town that has everything I want but be only like 5-10 mins away or less.
Thank you, Peter, for helping keep America alive. We need to buy from our hard working farmers. Heart and soul of America. ❤️
i hate to bring it up but start praying that Bill Gates and all his friends dont' succeed in what they are doing, they are buying up farmland in the US in several states, to try to do automated farming or something like that, probably with not the best of intentions. Not sure if it's true but then it might be. I'm praying not, so that are our hardworking farmers aren't shoved out of business.
Yes, but distribution is not possible. That's why the big Tyson Food etc industries are what they are controlling the supply chain.
Selling everything on a 'world' market has ruined all markets in the world. There is no reason farmers should be forced to sell to brokers and not to locals or even make their own deals. Globalism is killing the small farmer.
I would love to buy more local, but yes, Big Ag makes it hard.
Farmers markets are important to frequent, if you're lucky enough to have one around.
The best thing to do these days is community gardens, co-ops, or a backyard garden. Few chickens, maybe a goat. Depending on the restrictions for your county.
I do have one local farmer I can buy beef from. However, we would need a freezer. They only sell 1/4, 1/2, or whole cows.
Especially if It’s Not Genetic Modification Food
Merci Beaucoup for showing Cajun people authentically and for treating our culture/home with such respect. ❤ Come back anytime Cher!
I'm watching from Wolverhampton West Midlands UK. I love this video as I see a part of America that I might never see in my lifetime. Thank you everyone and God bless you and keep you safe. I would love to see it in real life 🙏🏾🇬🇧
I'd love to see your home... in the UK West Midlands🇬🇧🇺🇲
It’s amazing. I’m American and I too would never have seen this part of the country. 😊
Wolverhampton is a shithole.
Jose’s outlook on America was absolutely beautiful! What a dude
This was filmed 20 miles from where I was born, raised & currently live...my neighbors !!!
❤👏👏👏❤
My deceased husband was a crawfish farmer so this was like watching a part of my former life.
Thank you @PeterSantenelo for covering this unique & wonderful area & culture of the USA 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
❤❤❤
Man! Was going through a bit of a rough patch in life.. and was sifting through random videos.. You made me fall head over in love with Cajun country!!! What a well made video - I hope to God that I can be there someday..
Add to that, I really really appreciate the hard work that American farmers perform on the field.. Hats off to them - and, God bless you!!
I’m 56yrs old and the Cajun culture, the community is like no other!! I was introduced to the Cajun culture by accident, and hunted and fished with a older Cajun and miss every second of it!!! It pains me that I have the early stages of dementia, every minute I forget will never get to pass to my grandsons ! THANK YOU!! 🥲🇺🇦🇮🇱🇺🇸
As a Southerner, I could never thank you enough Peter for what you do. You show us for who we really are.
Agreed! Most of america see us as uneducated rednecks. Born and raised in the south and moved up north and so many misconceptions of us. Peter shows what we really are like. Smart humble family people who welcome anyone
I'm from the north but have friends all over. I just love seeing people who are just regular folks. I love this country and Peter catches so much. I appreciate it.
@@SueProvMidwest here, and I agree. I think most people no matter where they’re from are good, honest people who just want to support their families, practice their culture in peace, and get the most happiness they can out of life. It’s a shame this side of America is so often overlooked and overshadowed.
I can see in Peter’s face how much he loves our culture. Thanks for coming through. Hope to run into you next time!
Fact!
These are my people. We give SO Much reverence to our women, mothers, & the anchor of our family & community. God Bless Our America. Much gratitude for our Country, for our blessings, and our Heriitage. Peter, you are a Good Man. peace
Peter is a person of the world and it’s what makes this channel really great. We can all take a little something from it, even if that’s just a reminder.
Hey buddy, I just wanted to say thank you. My health isn't doing so well and you help ease my pain. I really really appreciate you and what you do for folks. Much love from a small town in Indiana!!
We spent a week in Abbeville last April, staying at Betty's RV Park.
We found the people just as friendly and accepting as shown in this video.
I really appreciate your videos, Peter. No nonsense, you treat the people with respect and provide a true inside look at life in other areas our our country, as well as the world.
As a fellow farm owner in California it is the same! We send our prayers and love to our southern compatriots and appreciate their strength and dedication.
I send my prayers to California citizens.
God bless and protect our farmers 🙏🇺🇸❤️
This channel is always show hidden treasure of real America. Thank you for this experience I learned.
Louisiana, some of my FAVOURITE videos you've done. I'm a Canadian and I lived in New Orleans for 9 years in my young adult life and I'm fascinated by the small rural areas highlighted in these videos. I only really got to see the larger cities and areas. Thanks for making these eye opening videos!
Houma Louisiana native here. Absolutely love this series, so cool to see you experience Cajun culture. Thanks for the excellent content Peter!
Jose is my favorite person I've ever seen on your channel. I agree, too many people today want to skip the actual work, and skip right to being a manager, boss, or owner. I dont think a lot of people realize how fulfilling taking pride in your work can be, and almost always ends up leading to that position that you wanted to skip to, but you end up being more experienced and more valued
@baltzy24 Agreed!
Cause cost of living is high in the USA and this people don't pay much
Really without doing the work first, there's no way to ever get into many of those positions unless one is truly wealthy first. These farmers do rely on migrant labor or guestworkers for the majority of field work but most are also working in the field themselves and if they have son's they teach them the work too. In other fields like landscaping or tree trimming, most of the small companies in the majority of California are now owned as well as operated by Mexicans. You get Anglo small owners where you still have many Anglo workers too, -pretty much from the North SF bay area northward or inland in the Valley and eastward.
@@charrua59not really the issue though. The cost of living is a lot lower in most of Louisiana then in most of the US and the area is full of other equally low paying physically demanding jobs worked by American locals, including work on fishing and shrimping (not farmed) boats, service work, construction labor, some jobs in manufacturing and the oil industry (which also includes many high paying blue collar jobs) and even some types of farm work. Just not so much the crayfish harvest, much like with most large dairies or most fruit and vegetable vegetable harvist- the very most most labor intence yet simultaneously skilled and precise types of farm work.
Americans often do other work just as physically hard or just as tedious, but relatively few these day seem to be able to do work that is both very strenuous but simultaneously precise, tedious and repetitive for long periods at an adequate pace within agriculture at least. Americans work on feedlots or do other livestock work plenty though, operate machinery and even do manual labor up in the blueberry and cranberry bogs up north.
Definitely agreed, but as the other comment said, I think cost of living is another factor, not the whole reason, but a big factor, the main factor I think is everyone was conditioned to go to college by older generations, they were taught after WWII that it was basically the same as being an adult, prior to that very few people had college degrees.
That was the norm, now yeah, everyone wants to jump into that high paying job but somebody has to do manual labor too, not everyone can sit at a desk lol
Well I loved that girl who took him on a tour of the store
She was amazing.
She's hot too
R u that girl? Lol
I would marry her if she was my age 😅
Sounds like a blast to live with. So much positive energy.
11:35 Awww… Rest in peace to the Coffee Club.🕊️ I love that about the South: their neighborhood friendly faces greet the customers.
I can’t even express my gratitude for you, Peter. In an age where so many people find differences in other cultures and use it as an excuse to be negative, it is so refreshing to see your videos connecting with people. Showcasing different groups and their living/working conditions is so wonderful and absolutely necessary. Your manner and ability to connect with people should be celebrated. You help recognize that people are just people. Everyone is trying their best to provide for their families, regardless of geography, language or backgrounds.
This Louisiana series might, I say might live up to the Appalachian series anyone agree?
Watched Pete for 4+ yrs.
Never fails to deliver.
I’m now hungry, but in England do no crawfish 🦞… sadly.
4+ years nice I’m 2+ People joke about the food being bad in England, just a myth?
@@Warwick-lt1moI’m from Louisiana and our company has an office in Manchester and I think the food in England is very good.
Born & raised in New Orleans, been all over my state & it's a beautiful place from the lush live oaks, up and down the Mississippi River, the little back road towns, the people, the food, the traditions, festivals, we have a very relaxed culture of people. New Orleans does not define Louisiana, she is a beauty all of her own 💜
I'm pretty confident this series will surpass the Appalachian 🥰
Ah I see my fault, well I’d be happy to call that place home, the freedom, I was in the French Quarter once “of course” for a 311 concert but unfortunately that’s it
As a French Canadian I feel a connection to the Cajun people, great culture.
You do have a connection, mon ami, especially if you're from the Nova Scotia (Acadie) area. 😊👍🏽
We feel zero connection to Trudeau.

Pete, thank you for sharing our culture with the world. These last couple videos on Cajun country have been great.
"we don't rely on the government." I know the point he was trying to make was they do their best to look out for their neighbors. It's great that they want to help when others are in a tough situation, but the fact of the matter is, for a number of reasons, the people of Louisiana (and the state government of Louisiana) do rely heavily on the federal government for assistance. As someone who grew up in the rural deep south, I see this mentality a lot, when the simple truth is, for a lot of people, their lives would be much, much worse without that assistance.
I LOVE Louisiana!!! I was stationed at Fort Polk Louisiana for 6 yrs and I Absolutely loved exploring Louisiana. Food is Amazing, People are Genuine and very friendly, Beautiful Lifestyle and History.. Now back in Philly wishing I could move back down

Thanks for showing country folk. No matter where we're from...... We are all pretty much the same. Hard working, giving people. From the north to the south , from the east to the west. Back bone of AMERICA......Thanks mom n dad.
I grew up country(ga) farming not much money but lots of love from GOD and my family.GOD has blessed me with more material things now but GOD blessed me to be born in america,what more could I want ?
Agree we all work to live and enjoy life
@@huberthancock8334poor farmer? Not much money... I live in rural Illinois surrounded by cornfields and I have never known even one farmer who's poor... Since you grew up farming you are most likely a trust fund baby like every daughter of every farmer here in Illinois... Very small chance you are telling the truth... I am tired of hearing about poor farmers who live in mansions
Agreed!
@@AustinMiller-dp9xyquit crying! Might have a trust fund, but their family worked their ass off to pass it on! Positivity bro! Negativity gets you nowhere!
Traditional values in these communities. Love it. Family, Faith, and Friends.
All things that most Democrat cities have totally lost.
I’m watching from Australia and the farming woes of the bearded gentleman is 100% the same as farmers in Australia. Local labour won’t show up, will slack off, and farmers have better luck with seasonal migrant labour. Much respect for these people. Rich culture, solid work ethic, and proud people.
I’m not Cajun but Louisiana is my home and this series is amazing! All too often the South gets a bad rap when actually it’s a warm, inviting culture with wonderful traditions. Thank you, Peter for showing how beautiful Louisiana can be ⚜️🐊🦞💜💛
I grew up in southwest Louisiana, but not a Acadian. Love the area and the people. I love in Northeast Ohio.
I grew up in NY and moved to rural East Tennessee and I absolutely love it here. My three kids are in the public schools. I work as a nurse. You couldn’t pay us to move back. This place is truly Gods country.
Watching from Quebec, I'm overwhelmed by the lovely spirit of the people! What a beautiful place, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Merci Peter!
Went to Quebec 30 years ago for the pee wee hockey tournament.......people were nice there
We are connected to Canada through the French culture, I even thought of being a tour guide for Canadians 😊
I'm also watching from Quebec. Bonjour.

I felt this video exemplified the experiences and life of my Francois Dumas and Marguerite Foy family. Coming to New France and living this same way. Francois, a Mason and Iroquoian interpreter was an indentured servant who earned his way into landownership. His wife was a Kings Daughter. I'm still learning of the history. After the Civil War the family moved into Vermont and New England areas. Life there was just as much as it was in New France and as depicted here in Louisianna. I'm certain I have distant relatives on both sides of my family down in that area. One day soon I hope to have it all written down for the rest of the family to see and know.
This Cajun Farmer really knows his stuff…. He’s so proud of his culture and way of life. I feel so honored that he and his family were willing to share their life with us for a day…. LONG LIVE TRUE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!!!!!! 🥰👍❤️
These folks are awesome. This is why America is amazing.. we have so many different cultures and way of life that we all need to start supporting more than just buying America.
Get some som mud bugs!
I recently discovered Peter's channel and I have watched nearly all of his videos and look forward to a new one each week.
As a London born and raised woman of Jamaican ethnicity I have loved learning about the different cultures and history of the people that make up America.
Peter's videos have allowed me to see and appreciate how beautiful America is 🤗
Keep up the excellent work Mr Santenello, you are doing outstanding work 👍
It’s the greatest country on earth and Peter genuinely feels it’s his duty to share that ☺️
Peter does a great job.
I have been in and around almost all the states, there are many amazing people, and so much deep history and culture in the U.S. that 5 lifetimes couldn't discover and learn about it all.
@@gano7297 ❤❤❤ I have to beg to differ on that , Your country has the highest incarceration figures and Your Drug problems are outrageous , Your Homeless problems also out of control. Sure there’s lots of great people but with all these problems That’s not what I would call the “Best “ county in the world 🌍
Jamaican people are lovely, God bless!
This is what America is all about. Real people, real community, and lots of love & respect. Another great video Peter!
Again, I must commend you on your videos. No one makes videos like you. You capture the essence of a culture. My wife is Cajun, and we spend much time in that area. We often go to Shuck's in Abbeville, a restaurant I'm sure you saw in your travels in the area. You do not give us a cursory look at the locals, but you give us an in-depth interview. I thank you, and my wife, especially, thanks you. You take her back to her roots with your videos.
Man I absolutely love this series. It shows how much history we do have as a country! Love that cajun culture!
Cajuns share the same joie de vivre as their Acadian cousins. I'm so proud of being of Acadian descent. Thank you so much Peter for featuring these amazing people !!
Many don't realize how beautiful this country is and how blessed we are to live here
Dear Peter, Hello from the highlands of Scotland, just subscribed, loved your enthusiasm and ability to show the world some of the real American culture and people, Americans at their best, god bless the hard working people who you meet!
These are some great videos. You’re not only being educational with these videos but making lifetime friends along the way… just wholesome to watch
I come from Germany, so seeing this side of the USA is really interesting!
I had to look it up:"United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km, while Germany is approximately 357,022 sq km" The U.S. is so big.
@@Roberto-de8xv yes that's true
It looks like Nebraska with those big fields and kinda Iowa
@@Roberto-de8xv the USA are everyday in our media and ther picture of americans are full of stereoptyes, there are just Trumpfans - which are shown as idiots - and the new woke people, who are the heroes of our journalists. it's a pitty we don't see the "real" people anymore
I used to live in Baton Rouge. It's nothing like the culture less California cities and other Democrat states and cities.
We need to support our beautiful farmers! Love what you do Peter. It's a win win for everyone, for you, for the people you spend time with in the videos and for us the viewers.
My uncle used to live in Cajun Country and would express mail us a bag of crawfish once or twice a year. We lived in Southern California and got really excited when we found out a bag was on the way. Nothing better.
Im a french quebecer from Montreal and was visiting the area last year. I actually talked with the lady in the blue shirt handling the boiled crawfish! Got to exchange some words in french with her dad at "Cajun diner" (best Poboys I had by far). Very sweet encounter!
I love your videos Peter, they remind me of the way I love to travel, I love your hitting some remote areas I had the chance to discover myself! Merci pour les vidéos en attendant de pouvoir repartir sur la route
❤
The sense of calm in these videos is really comforting.
Hi Peter, your videos are amazing. I love the way you go around with locals and show us their culture, their way of life. I'll be riding on a bike through Louisiana this August and after your videos I'm looking more and more forward to it! Just stopping at some random places, trying their great food, have some nice chats,... Thanks a lot for sharing your trips and videos. Keep up your great work! Take care
Lovely greetings from Luxembourg, Europe,
Pierre
This channel is such a blessing. Its like an adventure in every new vid, great people, interesting sights, delicious food...etc. Thank-you Peter for sharing your experiences with the whole world.
These last two videos have been the best work yet at showing true real Cajun culture. To say the guests were the meaning of great American people is an understatement.
I loved the guests in these last two Cajun Country videos. Their genuineness shone through. Such good people!
I am 63 years old born and raised in Philadelphia, still here! This is beautiful country, what I wouldn't give to live there!! Thanks for bringing this part of America to me! I really enjoy your videos!
Philadelphia do be the greatest city in the world fr. The city of BROTHERLY LOB. But now there do be too many sleepy noggaz outside o my house and I hope the school do clean up my nebrohood because they do be buyin it up and these noggaz still stay shootin and sleep in with kids outside they don’t need to see that.
Bella Vista section of South Philly here. What part are you in ?????
If you can't move here at least come for a visit. We would love to meet you.
@@seancrowley1065 I am in Fairhill hello my good neighbor Philadelphia is the best city in America but now unfortunatey everybody stay sleepy all the time and shootin when my kids be trying to play and it don’t be good. Not at all.
@@mapexzildjian6361I’m in England, love seafood.
Want crawfish 🦞 & gator now!!!
I’m flying over!! 😂👍🏼
I stay subscribed to Peter'e videos because he has a real knack at choosing the perfect real rural citizen to exemplify and explain the value of this life. It is and always has been the backbone of the next best generation of our country. Family, work, love of nature, do-it-myself confidence... I have lived all over the US, and each rural part of America shares these values.
Peter! what a most decent generous kind and articulate group of people.... their warmth and pride are so palpable. I didn't see Red or Blue here just human beings...I hope to get down there someday and visit and support. Thank you for filming this rich and wondrous part of the country. Blessings to all.
Louisiana has the best food and the nicest people
Louisiana is such a special place, my favorite state. I'm naming my daughter Louisiana
Cool name for a baby girl 😊
Nickname could be Lulu
Weezy!
I love the way you interact! Respectful and open! Fun to watch!
One of your best videos next to the Titus videos! Really enjoyed this episode and it was very well done! You really showed how nice the local family and community is in this region of the US.
South Louisiana native here. Great job on showing the deep culture we have here. Thank you for showing the world.
America is a such beautiful and diverse country. Thanks for all these impressions, Peter.
One of the best channels. This channel should have 100 million subscribers. Heck. billions.
Great work as always!
Adding to my earlier comment. Every time I finish watching one of Peter's videos, I am in a very good mood. The only reason I can think of is that Peter shows the very best of people.
Same here.
Watching from London UK and I have to say, I honestly adore your videos. It's fantastic how you show such beautiful culture and people which aren't ever shown on American Media. Thank you so much for your fantastic content. Love from the UK
I hope you're safe I've seen plently of vids from London about a lot of violent stuff going on over there.
I just love your videos. The people you meet are some of the best people on earth. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you Peter, again, from Britain.
I loved your videos from other side of the world, the US city videos during the lockdowns and I love your American countryside videos.
You always show the best in people.👏🙏🥰
Louisiana baby! The best state in America! Cajun👏🏻🔥
Born and raised myself dats correct! Louisiana made Louisiana proud
i love that all these deep south videos have ended with just breaking bread and just having a meal together, really gives off that southern hospitality vibe!
This was Great!!!
Thank you Peter 💜
Thanks Peter, awesome episode👍🏽
Another home run and a another gem. Thanks Peter for all you do.
I appreciate it Steve! Thank you.
No, Thank You for all of your content that shows different perspectives and opinions without judgement.@@PeterSantenello
@@PeterSantenello Please note Southern hospitality. Please more hardworking southern stories.
We need to support folks like Allen here. I have changed my diet to all organic, locally grown, clean food if I can get it. He is doing it right, bless his heart.
Peter. Fascinating! My first video from you. Great view of our country in snapshot. Thank you so much!
Thanks you, Peter, for showing us the real and genuine side of America that we usually don't see in other parts of the world.
I'm touched by all of your videos from the south, and all the cordial encounters with people that have had. Entering a convenience store and showing what produce the area has to offer, and then interact with people makes this so much more genuine.
WOW JOSE IS A BADASS
No, Jose is driving down labor cost's fucking over American workers. These people can't find workers because they don't offer a living wage. I know people like this in my community. If your business model doesn't factor paying a fair wage that one can live off of then your business model is flawed. My boss runs a very successful small business and pay's us a very fair wage and good insurance. If you're not a retard or a greedy fuck you can run a successful business. I'm assuming these people are both.
Jose is the best! He's 100% right. I'd love to live in a country with millions of Jose's! Do it right!
That girl showing Peter around the shop was definitely the best.
Like many other comments here, thank you Peter for shining on 'Anytown, America'. I love your respectful approach to the folks in each of the towns, trying to draw out what people think and why, and not seeking to make any arguments about 'right or wrong'.
It should be boring, but I find it deeply interesting to see you interact with these fine folks can be anyone's neighbours, with the same concerns, hopes, dreams and aspirations like any other person. Especially the small business folks - I find them really engaging.
For many of us who do not live in or ever visited the United States (I am from the Antipodean part of the world), it's wholesome to see you meet everyday people. And to gently remind us non-US folks that America is more than just what we see or imagine it to be in the media. It wasn't until I hit my 30s that I understood America is more than just the stereotypical New Yorker / Californian / Texan 😅.
Allen & Erin seem so wonderful; so kind, caring & hardworking. The values demonstrated throughout this video make me miss home.
I love these videos because there's no narrative he just let's people talk
Thank you so much for showing this beautiful tiny spot in our country! Louisiana is truly a special place with so many different cultures.
Beware of the Yellow King. Carcosa
Just wanted to tell you that my husband and I found your channel a couple of months ago and have really been enjoying it!!! Stay safe!
Thank u Peter for everything you do. I'm so glad I've come across your channel. Love how you show us different perspectives and a different side of the world allowing us to see and learn about stuff never mentioned by the MSM. You show the true hardworking, ordinary Americans and communities most people have never heard of and you always manage to keep everything neutral. You someone manage to deeply connect with everybody bringing them to open up to you, which is so heartwarming to see. You're a true class act.
Keep on doing what you're doing and where you're the best at!
hello from France. i enjoy watching your videos ; always edifying and they tend to soften the heart of the watcher. how to not appreciate and love these places and people
