Nobody Visits This Country Anymore ( Find Out Why ) ????????
???????? Venezuela, the name conjures images of a country synonymous with economic collapse and violence. But is that reputation deserved or is there another side to the country that the media don't show? Well, despite being nervous for my safety and that of my camera, I flew into Caracas on my own to investigate. Oh, and whilst there of course I had to visit the infamous Petare barrio, known as Venezuela's most dangerous hood. Would I survive? Join me and find out. Vamos a Caracas chamos!
Shout out to @BackpackerBen for accompanying me all the way from Cusco to Colombia and thanks to my chama Lucy for her help with the translations on the trip ????
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!

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.

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!

Colonia Tovar: Venezuela's Little Germany Looks Like a Village in the Black Forest
Where can you find half-timbered houses, German beer, and Black Forest cake in South America? Colonia Tovar. DW's Joel Dullroy visited the Venezuelan tourist attraction, where he felt transported back to the heart of the Black Forest. The town has a population of roughly 20,000 people, and was founded by German immigrants around 150 years ago. Not much has changed there since then.

Cuba SUCKS, I'm Leaving. (why it's the worst country i've ever visited) ????????
???? TRINIDAD, CUBA (1.9)
This video tells a story, so make a hot drink, turn your phone horizontal and get comfortable. Come with me as I explore Trinidad and chat to the locals about life on the island to find out what Cubans are protesting about? What's it like to live on the island? What basic amenities are available to the population? What's Cuba like? and more. #FREECUBA
I start off buying a sombrero from a couple that have never left Trinidad and explain their difficulties in buying materials for their business. I then head to the local store to show the limited stock they have and how it's impossible for locals to buy anything because the stores don't accept the national currency. Ridiculous I know. After drinking a Cancanchara we get a bicycle taxi to the housing projects where tourists don't go to show a different side to Trinidad. We ascend a roof through a tiny hole and get shown photos of La Trova when the island was a popular tourist destination.

A German evaluating the COLONIA TOVAR: Does it really deserve the title GERMAN VILLAGE OF VENEZUELA?
The video a lot of Venezuelans have been waiting for!
I checked out the German village of Venezuela. The Colonia Tovar is a German colony that has been founded in 1844 and as a German I of course had to visit this village to see how German this German Village of Venezuela really is!
I've seen photos of the Colonia Tovar before and therefore already knew to expect a very typical southern German architecture in the village. But building houses that look alike like the ones in the south of Germany is easy, isn't it?
Can a place so far away from Germany really resemble Germany after all those years? Does the food really taste like German food or is it just a nice try but not even close to real traditional German food?
Honestly I had my doubts that a small village in the mountains of Venezuela could seriously have something really German...
Check out the video to see how German the German village of Venezuela really is...!

Venezuelans are Coming to your Country (& Bringing their Tasty Food)
Venezuelan food is delicious, and lucky for me there's a lot of it in Ecuador. I'm sampling the Venezuelan street food as I discuss the plight of the Venezuelans, why they are fleeing their country and coming to places like Ecuador.
I eat a pabellón empanada, some tequeños, the Venezuelan lemonade papelon con limon, an arepa stuffed with spicy beef, and the crepe-like cheese-filled cachapa.
Check out the places I went to in the video: El Negro Y Sus Empanadas -

CAUGHT INSIDE VENEZUELA PROTEST????????
I have never ever seen a protest up close. Today as we walk down the street to get lunch we came across this VENEZUELA protest, so many people in pain because what's happening in their country. Here I get close and personal to the people who are dealing with this difficult times, or their family back home who can't eat or shower can't even do the simple things in life. I hope that one day the world change to a better place, where people care more about each other, a place where anger is forgotten and love is all around.

Nuestra visita a Caracas - Que tan seguro es - VENEZUELA
Por último hicimos una corta visita a la capital de Venezuela. Queríamos ver con nuestros propios ojos como era Caracas y si era tan insegura como habíamos escuchado antes de comenzar nuestro viaje a Venezuela.
.
Claro que Caracas es una ciudad grande y no se puede garantizar la seguridad como en otros destinos de Venezuela que hemos visitado , pero si podemos decir que pueden visitarla sin problemas y no es como se comenta.
.
También hay que aclarar que solo hicimos un pequeño circuito por el casco histórico y unas 10 cuadras a la redonda y siempre de día.
.
Pero hablando desde nuestra experiencia y en base a lo que hicimos podemos decir que tranquilamente pueden realizar un tour guiado o por su cuenta para llevarse algo de Caracas.
