10 Things to Know About the Current State of Venezuela

Get more Tips here!

In recent weeks, the South American nation of Venezuela has been embroiled in a conflict that’s spilled onto the streets. But how did the nation get to this point?

1. It's Is Partly OPEC’s Fault
Up until recently, Venezuela wasn’t doing too bad as a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Then, OPEC produced too much oil and gas and the prices plummeted internationally.

2. Venezuela Needs Oil to Survive
He may be one heck of an oppressive socialist dictator, but Nicolás Maduro has no clue how to diversify an economy. And now that the oil cash is slowly drying up, The economy of Venezuela is tanking something fierce.

3. Venezuela’s Decline By the Numbers
Venezuela’s gross domestic product has dropped by one-third. Even worse, the citizens are seeing the brunt of that hardship, being forced to endure a thousand percent inflation.

4. Basic Goods Have Gone Missing
It’s increasingly difficult to import goods into the country. After all, if your currency is worthless, you have to spend way more money to get way less stuff. As a result, products like food, medicine, and other basics have essentially vanished from store shelves.

5. The Average Venezuelan Is Now Both Hungry and Poor
Some measurements put the number of poverty-stricken Venezuelan citizens in excess of 70 percent. Fortunately for Maduro (and unfortunately for Venezuela’s people), the country’s Supreme Court has overturned every legislative attempt by the opposition to set things right.

6. An Attempt to Take Down Maduro
In 2016, the opposition used its advantage in the National Assembly to try and institute a recall election aimed at ousting President Nicolás Maduro. Maduro had his loyal judiciary simply cancel the petition.

7. Shutting Down the National Assembly
The Maduro-loyal Supreme Court nullified the National Assembly and assumed all legislative powers within the country.

8. The Thin Veneer of Democracy
Nearly two years of legislative efforts have resulted in the Venezuelan people seeing only decline in spite of every attempt to play by the rules. All of a sudden, Nicolás Maduro is looking more and more like a dictator.

9. The Problem with the Army
While Maduro’s Supreme Court works to suppress the opposition, Venezuela’s armed forces have remained largely unmoved. That's because a big portion of the army is corrupt. and another is loyal to Maduro

10. Taking to the Streets
The opposition have pledged to protest peacefully until they can get their message across. The authorities in Venezuela attack the protestors although some protestors remain persistent in their desire to loudly (and peacefully) protest their government.

Episode 1: Understanding Venezuela in 2023 - First Impressions of Caracas

From Madrid to Caracas in 10,5 hours. A trip that I wanted to do for so long. And it starts in the Capital of Venezuela - in Caracas.

In this video I am talking about my first impressions of the country and I will talk a bit about the recent history of Venezuela to make you understand where negative comments about the country might be coming from. I have heard it all. From It's not safe to It's impossible to travel in that country. But guess what: Nothing ever happened to me and I did travel through that country! Don't get me wrong. In general you should be careful in Latin American countries. Walking around with your brand new iPhone in your hand might not always be the best idea... But the big majority of the people are extremely kind, open-minded and curious about tourists and they will welcome you with the biggest smile ever!
Make sure to talk to locals, as they will be able to tell you where to go and what areas to avoid.

While this first video will talk a lot about how Venezuela works, its history and a few things that simply work differently in Venezuela, the next videos will be more about the culture and the country with its beautiful and unique nature. So, make sure to subscribe and follow me on Social Media to not miss out on the next episode!

In this epic adventure, I take you on the bustling streets of Caracas and through the beautiful beach towns of Morrocoy to see how many things I could purchase with $10 USD, which at the time I made this video, was 14.7 MILLION Venezuelan Bolivares... Right now, $10 USD is equal to 22 million Bolivares, it's absolutely crazy.

Despite Venezuela's economic crisis and massive hyperinflation, the cost of everyday items is getting more expensive, which makes it even harder for the local people to afford basic things like bread and water. It's really sad, and I hope the situation gets better because Venezuelans are some of the warmest and most hospitable people I've ever met. More to come soon from Venezuela!

- There was an infamous Indian conman who repeatedly “sold” different landmarks in the country, including the Taj Mahal and the Parliament House of India!
- With around 51 births every minute (that’s over 73,000 a day!), this country has one of the fastest-growing populations in the world.
- There are about 780 languages spoken in India, but some sources put it in the thousands. Whatever the case, only 22 have been recognized as official languages.

- If you go to a restaurant and order a whole meal with chicken or even fish, your bill could be as little as $1!
- In case you haven’t heard of the Land of Spices, India produces around 70% of the world’s supply.
- A State of the Nation Survey in 2006 showed that up to 31% of the Indian population is vegetarian, and another 9% do eat eggs but no forms of meat.
- Cricket is the most popular sport in the country, much like soccer in Europe or football in the US.
- The Ganges Dolphin is unique to this river. Unfortunately, their numbers are drastically decreasing due to increasing pollution.
- Kumbh Mela is the two-month mass pilgrimage of those of Hindu faith to bathe in the Ganges.
- Kumbh Mela is one of many festivals celebrated in the Indian culture, but the brightest has to be the color festival Holi.

- Another fun fact on the topic of Indian money: it’s illegal for foreigners to take rupees in or out of the country.
- Did you know that the iconic band’s frontman Freddy Mercury was of Indian descent? His name at birth was Farrokh Bulsara, and both of his parents were from Bombay!

We Broke Up

This is the end. @DearAlyne and I are breaking up.

You, the audience, were the first people to know about our relationship 6 years ago.

You were with us during our lows and highs.

You cheered for us.

That's why you also deserve to know about the end of our relationship.

This is the longest video we've ever made. 13 minutes long.

I hope this helps someone out there with their relationship. I hope they can avoid our mistakes before it's too late.

Until then, Alyne and I will remain good friends. We have zero regrets.
Because...

No growth of the heart is ever a waste.

Love you, Alyne.
