The past few days in Antananarivo, Madagascar have been overwhelming, intense and eye-opening. And I apologize for the delays in posting these videos -- it's been nearly impossible to find decent enough wifi.
Madagascar, as a whole, is a beautiful tropical island with stunning greenery, giant baobab trees and unique wildlife (like lemurs!). It's also massive -- about twice the size of my home state of Arizona -- floating 250 miles off the southeastern part of mainland Africa.
But putting the natural beauty aside, Madagascar is one of the World's poorest countries, with the 5th lowest GDP per capita. Walking on the streets of Antananarivo, I couldn't help but observe and analyze what I was seeing --- people just barely managing to survive, working labor-intensive jobs with very little pay.
My new local friends and I took a mini road trip to some outer villages, where I learned about the daily life of people working in the markets. Here's what I discovered.
If there's any takeaway from today (and through travel in general) -- it is to appreciate the life I live. If you are reading this as well, consider yourself lucky because you have internet, which most of the people in Madagascar cannot afford.

"YOU and I cannot choose where we are born"👍👍
Believe it or not, you chose where you will be born to experience what you want to experience. You chose your parents before you were born. You chose your social status before you were born. All of it to experience what you planned to experience in this lifetime.
@@wavemaker2077 youre beliefs are way different than most people
lottery of life, i think its shit but if you win the lottery you dont have to share it. i think they just get buy,if i was stinking rich i would invest in setting up factorys f.or clothing,shit jobs but it would be very profitable, give them 7 dollers a day. they would be chuffed and it could get the local economy to have a boost.. they need there own industrial revolution the place is ripe for growth.

I was just about to comment this, it’s the first time I’ve heard such words it was so powerful and true
Real as it gets
Great message!
Yes. I was straight to comment section just to appreciate it.
I live in Madagascar as well and the saddest thing is that a lot of people who have the ability to change things (I’d say well educated people) feel the urge to leave the country so they can go live a better life abroad
Sounds about like their relatives in Southeast Asia, maybe it is in the genes?😂
(I'm guessing your part of the rich if you have wifi) so are you gonna stay in your Country or what are you gonna do, im curious? 🤔
@@hissukka6619 i’m getting my education abroad and then probably come back from time to time to try to do something when i have the possibility. Not because i don’t like living in my country but i just like traveling a lot
@@rajomann1147 Wow, thats interesting
@@rajomann1147 I'll say this it happens with any other country too it's up to the government to draw people back and help the country like what DRC is doing or India or what China did. You want people to go abroad to get foreign knowledge then bring that back to help your own people.
I am ashamed of ever complaining about my life.
Me too. Sometimes I forget just how lucky I am to be here in the USA.
Don't be ashamed. Other people having it worse doesnt mean you don't have problems or that your complaining isnt justified.
@@gayvideos3808 Nope, being ashamed is justified.
When the most of Africa, many countries of South America, and other places teem with people who earn less than 2$ a day and often go starving....
When refugees around the world have no place to call home....
When Middle East is being torn in wars....
When insensitivity and communal violence
destroys the lives of millions....
When social prejudices, bigotry and racism show the ugly side of humanity...
And above all, global warming and climate change looms overhead threatening the very existence of numerous island countries, lowlands and glaciers around the world....
Then it is indeed insensitive and irresponsible (At least, a rational mind will tell so) to ponder too much over petty relationships or to complain about not being entitled to luxuries and assume that one is the most unfortunate person in the world.
This only exhibits the acute deficiency of empathy and the cult of ignorance that one is a part of.
I should be too but nope, not I don't even feel shame over it.
Movie Maniac yes, complain more. maybe thatll get them out of poverty
I am a Srilankan..me has very difficult life to live here as I was born to economically poorest ..now I have comfort in my life ..but when I see this video about Madagascar..it reminded me about my past hard life..I wish you Madagascar and myself a much more comfortable life ahead...🙏🙏🙏
Yeah SriLanka has got many economically poor families living include me..but I meant Madagascar has poorer ..Wished them a better life soon ...
I am lower middle class from india
We don't even have a car😅

I am sure you are living in India a much more comfortable life then those in Madagascar.

😔
And originally it's one of the most beautiful islands in the world!
They have resources but the government don't know how to manage it😑
Everywhere has problems. I’m sure a lot of people are happy with their lives
@@yonnelx2539 they r just corrupted
Also the landscape look so beautiful and fertile
The isolation doesn't effect the economy at all. New Zealand is isolated and the economy is booming....
Maybe because Australia is next to it? For example, Mexico's economy flourishes because they are next to US.
Who does Madagascar have? South Africa?
+NO Hi "mexico's economy flourishes" yep with 50% of the population living in poverty too
@@WayToManyAssassins 15th largest economy in the world is no easy accomplishment. The other thing is that corrupt politicians take shitload of money and must poverty is seen probably south of the border.
+No Hi half of their gdp is probably drug money
True, isolation doesn't justify poverty. Sea is actually one of the cheapest ways of transporting something. A huge nation like russia, Canada, usa and Brazil are actually way harder to export something than a little island like that.
I've seen so many youtubers traveling for food, 😂 but I'm glad that you're looking for true humanity ,people need to see this. 👍
Travelling for food is gluttonous and shameful. RUclipsrs only caring about travelling and eating tasty food are annoying and a waste of time, imo. Byproduct of our terrible modern culture.
Some travel for food and look for humanity at the same time
@@jacquesmesrine3244 so RUclipsrs buying food in foreign countries and aiding their economies is a gluttonous thing? Think before you speak bro.
@@kkb892 yeah, like this trip really helped Madagascar. I stand by my statement! Lol that was easy
100%
"You and I cannot choose where we are born" wow!! true indeed, so stay humble
We actually chose where we wanted to live before we were born. We chose our parents. We chose our social status in life. We have a plan on what to experience in this lifetime but we forgot about it.

I am from Borneo and I feel that the people of Madagascar have blood relations with me, respectful greetings for Madagascar from Borneo (your ancestors came from here)
Where is Borneo located? i have never heard it before you.

@@farouqomaro598 Are you Indonesian?
so glad to hear that this country already ranked up from #5 to #7 even though quite a small change.
That doesn't necessarily mean Madagascar improved. It could also mean two other countries have it worse now than before.
I live here in Madagascar and I think you really made a good analysis on the causes poverty of Madagascar. The kinda isolation from the rest of the world and also all the political issues (In short, politicians here really dont' care about the people, it's more about them wanting to increase their personnal wealth without even trying to manage the country properly, and 'I'm not even exagerating, it's really like that, corruption is everywhere.). The meteoroligical condition is not really the problem here because if it's managed properly, we should be able to prevent its damage because we kinda know where are the area that are frequently touched. But sadly, again, the gorvernment doesn't really give a damn about that. I do hope though, that my country will one day be able to be successful because it's full of talents and incredible natural ressources. If us, the young generation start to do small change in the good way, i think we can hope for a better future
Wow, in school we were taught that Madagascar is completely uninhabited and is all wild jungle. I've learned way more from RUclips than I ever had in school
Waouhhh thsnk God you watched YT then, humans civilization already exist here from centuries ,the animation really did something bad to portray our country 😳
were you in History class?
Lemme guess your school also told you Africa is stuck in ancient era too
@@kingkai2800 yeah. But I already knew that was a lie
@@kingkai2800 western school are mini brainwash centers ;(
I love this country. I spent two years in that beautiful nation and the things you experience while living there change your life and perspective. I don’t think I’ve ever learned more about my privileges than during my time there.
What was your experience?
How would you rate this country in different aspects...??

Thank you Drew for the reminder, indeed I take things for granted sometime and this video reminds me to be grateful for everything I have...to the people of Madagascar, I send you lots of prayers and blessings and may your life always be bountiful and prosperous...
Hello from Madagascar, I've watched him so some time I can't believe I never thought of looking this video up. I've been lucky by the way for anyone who may wonder, I've lived a somewhat sheltered life and now my family has unlimited home wifi access
Thanks for loving our fellow brethren all over and raising consciousness
Thank you for making a video on Madagascar. I am going this up coming summer and I can’t wait to see the culture there!
Thank you to present my country because I live there. I'm so proud to see a stranger to present Mada.
Finally found a Malagasy in here.

Is it really hard to connect to the internet?? Is the internet enough to call someone on messenger?
@@verinawagih8436 No it's not that hard. The only problem is that it's expensive since it is monopolized. No issues in internet speed unless you're in a somewhat remote place
I love Madagascar 🇲🇬 from Suriname 🇸🇷👍❤️
I've learned a lot different culture the country you visited.. Thanks Drew...
I like that you said we cant change where we are born and don't take anything as granted. It is indeed most touching words in this video. Madagascar is beautiful. Feel to go there one day. (you made me to create a google account to made this comment as Im not a social media person. )
You and I cannot choose where you are from truly inspirational drew it touched my soul
Hey Drew!
I am watching your videos for the past 2 days and I just want to let you know that all of it are so cool!!!
Stay safe man
This was a very fascinating video, from which I learned a great deal. Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Binsky.
I stayed in Madagascar Drew one of the fascinating place on earth.
I stayed in hotel Paon D'or.
Visit the Royal palace and eat the street food which is awesome.
Did u just let that scorpion sit on ur hand 👏👏👏
These last words you say at the end touched my heart.
Hey Drew I’m loving the longer videos!
God bless you and all that you do. I am proud of all your efforts to show the world the reality we live in. God speed 🌹🌹🌹
Hey Drew! How about you make charity for people from Madagascar.We can buy a stupid thing on internet for 5$ but they can feed their whole family with 3$.Can you make this possible, because every dollar is precious for them
Edit: Money can go for any kind of improvements and for new equipment (at least make their work easier)
Superb idea....
That isn't gonna help them.
They have to learn how to improve their production.
Simply lending them money will increase inflation & drive up the prices.
Since they don't earn that much they'll be dependent on your charity and once it stops they literally will not be afford to anything and everything will be back to square 1
If you really wanna help them then tell your Governernment to do trade with them. Tell your businessmen to invest money into production factories there, tell your industrialists to set up factories there.
Well that money can help them to buy new equipment n stuff.He won't lend them 100 million $ but any help would be probably appreciated.Governernment does not care about their own people that much, so why would they care 1% about other countries?They have no profit from it and this is capitalism...Also someone would set up factories years ago in Madagascar but something isn't working out so.And that's def. gonna help them.They can upgrade a lot of stuff there and can build hella of objects or something.
Jews dont do charity ..
Really good idea.....👍
Very informative.Drew still catching up your other videos have watched almost 20 already and theres more to go and I'm loving it.keep traveling I'm a mom fr Phil
Thanks alot, Drew. It touched me deep in my heart. I am learning alot from your videos.
Humbling video, Drew.
An island like Madagascar which is isolated from the mainland can never be rich and strong.
*Britain : Hold my beer...*
Taiwan and South Korea
Being an island does not stop a country from being rich. There is Mauritius, New Zealand, etc.
Saibal Republic
White bootlicker spotted!
ShAdOwMaN But South Korea has only a border with North Korea making it technically an island

Great vid Man, you have such courage to go deep and experiment the struggling day-to-day life of my people. However I wish you'll explore more of my beautiful country, there's unique wonders beyond this relative poverty too :)
Saw you on Mark Wiens channel and was intrigued by your travel goal!!! You got knew subscriber!!! And yes I agree we do need to be thankful everyday!!!
Your last lines wer so good it touched my heart.
I love u man
Hello Drew
My self am Anoop from Kerala, India. From 15 days before am starting to watching your channel. The main reason that you are cover the story of the guys from Cochin.
Now am already watched around 75 videos and still continuing.
Now if any one asking
Who is your inspiration I will tell 100% uuuuu only...
Am also loving travelling. Last June I was visiting Bhutan it's my first foreign country visit. Unfortunately I think u r in Bhutan Last July....
I am trying to cover places by maximum cheap cost.
Last visit I spent around around 150 $ for my 13 days travelling not only in Bhutan and also in Sikim, Odisha, and West Bengal in India. That time I didn't have video camera for shooting awesome moments. But now I have a little camera.
am planning to visit Malaysia coming march by 125 USD. Am already booked tickets .. jist apply offer and get return tickets around 55 USD.
I wish to see u one day at any corner of this Planet.
Thanks for ur valuable and Inspiring videos..
Now am in 26....
I am waiting for your Valuable reply......
Keep going Anoop
How do you able to go to foreign countries at such low cost
@@jatinmali9310 he has family everywhere

Fascinating country and people. A mixture of Austronesian and African ❤️
I like the piece you did on father pedro.....how he has made a difference for many in Madagascar.
I was watching many of your video but this video bring me to tears just to see how peoples trying to survive everyday and so true what you are talking in the last of this video.thanks Drew
You are from?
I am from India
One of Drew's uniqueness that draws me in is the way he narrate his vlog. His voice, his tone, the words his using, it's very captivating.
Drew:it's poor cuz it's isolated from Africa
New zealand:Ahh 😧 give the world map
See 🤭🤭
Ya but new Zealand doesn't have the same neighbours. Take all of New Zealanders and switch them with these people. Then good luck.
I lived in Australia and New Zealand exports a lot of labour and people.
I appreciate for this information
Thank you so much for beautiful advice
Such an informative video, thank you so much for making this :)
You and I cannot choose where we are born. 100% truth.
I love your videos
I’m proud of my country Madagascar 🇲🇬!!!
You do a great work Drew to tell us about them.
I stumbled on your video and I'm really happy to see a youtuber visit my country! Misaotra!!! ;)
Thx Drew, only people like yourself who travelled to the poor parts would understand and respected the better life we had. I myself was ex refugee now living much better life in Australia.
Some of my Work colleagues here never knew what’s hard life were like... Earning 100 -200 times more than these poor people but still moan and groan whinging non stop then as soon as the job ended they were flat broke in 2 weeks time, very sad.
I kept telling them my poor hard life stories to revive them... but for some they just couldn’t get it?
"Be thankful because You and Me cannot choose where we're born" words of wisdom. God bless you man.
THANK YOU for sharing this vid with your audience;…👍🏻👍🏻‼️
Loved it, thank u so much!
Drew
I just found your videos and I love watching them. I love learning about other cultures.
I was wondering about what goes on in the background as far as security and planning.
I know you go to some countries that are very unstable and can be dangerous.
Do you always have security people around you close by and do you pay for that?
I would love some videos about this. Thanks
I've really become fascinated with Madagascar, I'm South African, this country is technically a neighbouring country and we know nothing about it.
also south african, i was looking at a map one day and I realized I knew nothing about madagascar
Thanks, your videos teach us to appreciate what we have got. Thanks very much for your efforts.
Your one of kind drew, your documentary in such places you visit has lot of story to tell...
Every document you make is weighted with precious information.. regards from India sir... Ur communication is too good and effective 😊
I hope Madagascar can become Gladagascar soon.

How did you find those people speaking English and guiding you through the country?
/ Dzban \ just ask. There are many english speaking schools here and the tourism companies can also help you.
Micky Calebro i don’t see anything dumb in his comments
Micky Calebro must be an American asking that. They think Americans are the only ones who speak English in the whole world and even ask English people (UK) who own tge language how come they speak such good English? Lol
The internet I'm guessing
Countries that have a british council that's usually the best place to start in my opinion. If there is no british council then any other english language school or a university as last resort. Luckily I speak German too and found it's nearly impossible to find a country that lacks both a British Council and Goethe Institut. For example Madagascar has no British Council, but it has a Goethe Institut.
2:06 that sambus is amazing
I am grateful to live in my country..eventhough we are not rich but we still not that poor..
GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT MADAGASCAR IN SUCH A SHORT VIDEO
Hi, Drew. I appreciate your video and showing the poverty in Mada. But I'd have liked that you did mention both the sides.
While the majority of the population is impoverished, a very good number is well- educated, earns really well and has lived in France or has immediate family there. This side of the population shops in expensive malls even for their daily groceries which is imported from other African countries, France, etc. To mention rent in the capital city is also extortionate. The developed portions are of international standard, built mostly to suit the American and European lifestyle. That's also because plenty of Europeans move there for the better jobs that go to them over the locals. A lot of the poverty and misery is of course from corrupt politics. Can say all this with my experience of living in Mada for a better part of the year. Love, from India

Wow I knew a person from Madagascar , I couldn’t imagine how they live, thanks for sharing your video
Mel175 we live fine thanks
Mauritius, which is west of Madagascar, is a thriving island. I wish Madagascar could be like that.
Mauritius is also corrupt but unlike Madagascar it’s had connections w/ international markets like european ones. It was only settled during the scramble of Africa. B4, there were just dodo 🦤 birds living there
Is it any coincidence that many of the poorest countries in the world are former French colonies. A little deeper study of the role of Paris in its former colonies will help explain it.
You are just amazing drew
I've seen many videos about Madagascar and thought about the life there, not rich but happy life. But never knew about the proverty that they are one of the poorest countries in this world. Thanks for the extract the video with a clear message. You've been awesome making travel videos.
Well,our world today is filled with racists,so it is almost impossible for a lot of people to visit,but I think Drew is the only legend who has the guts to travel the whole world,dirty or not he still is gonna go

If you are foolish enough to believe in God, and that this imaginary being have you the good life you claim to be grateful for, that same God ALSO gave these poor people the desperate lives they live.
