    🔴Whereabouts update: Hi guys, jumping on here to give you an update of where i have been and my plans going forward:
    I took sometime off TH-cam after the Jamaica series to ground myself and spend time with friends and family. I had a trip planned to film some videos a couple of months ago but unfortunately I ended up falling ill with some form of nasty respiratory sickness which took me the better part of two months to recover from. I have never experienced an illness that severe before.
    -The good news, I'm pretty much back to 100% now and soon will be flying to a new destination to film and I plan to release a new video at the end of this month (July 2024). Thank you for your patience and looking forward to sharing a different side of a new and fascinating country that has hardly been covered!
    See you soon,
    Nick 🤍

      One Community Global is the idea. We live in our communities, wherever they are all over the world, we try to make the best of it, but we are crippled and struggle through the unjust, unhealthy, unsustainable monetary-market system which has been used over 6,000 years now, and it is vastly out-dated!
      Humans have great potential for cooperation, collaboration and care! But if we are not in the system that embraces that then we will continue to see unnecessary struggles. To move forward we should do some research, share with others and build our communities up, like One Small Town Contributionism communities are doing or Mutual Aid Networks!

    Hey there, been a huuuge fan since your very first videos but i have a feedback for you Nick:) recently your conversations with the locals are always around how dangerous the place is or how many people get shot at the next street.

In all honestly though, Jamaica has some of the most dangerous Nieghbourhoods in the world and it was not at all safe in some areas to say the least and as someone who questions the current situation for the locals of a country is my main goal then the danger itself seemed to be a talking point and as a matter of fact many people brought it up on their own. I do appreciate the feedback and have taken it into consideration. Merry Xmas! Nick

Dressed nice and put me on Shoes! He was very observant , one day he said “why do the black peoole on America, and minorities like yourself talk low about your own people? And are always so serious with your own kind” and it stuck with me . He even was able to get adopted by his father here in the states at 17 and move here permanently and humbled me with the things he said, like the fact he got a paycheck and can get himself clothes. He cried the first paycheck we handed him, the last was direct deposit and he was saving for a car. Amazing young man called Demitri

      There is hope for all of our futures but we have to be co-creators of it. As the ancient wisdom of Socrates still rings true: "The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new." The new system that supports all humanity is being built, but not many people know exactly how, yet most of us know the types of behaviours that would help: Cooperation, collaboration and co-ownership.
      That's why it is good to investigate a little bit about viable alternatives to our currently unsustainable monetary-market system. Looking at One Small Town Contributionism or Mutual Aid Networks or The Zeitgeist Movement, there are options emerging.

      I think too perhaps it’s because of the high violent crime rate of Jamaica for it being such a small country. My country usa, for example, has a great deal of violence too but I think because it is such a large nation no one thinks nearly as much of it, like it’s almost to be expected in larger country’s . A large country with a low rate of violence, now that would be a superb place.

    You were misinformed about the rubbish situation. What happens is that the garbage is cleaned every night, and in the mornings the stores would put their garbage out along with street venders. In the areas that are cleaner, have less stores and street side venders. Either way the garbage is all cleaned at nights. If you go the same places early in the mornings it would be much cleaner.

Crazy experience. Kingston was not what I expected from Jamaica. My son and I walked just a bit outside the hotel , then quickly went back in. Production was encouraging us to take a taxi to the beach, but I’m really glad we didn’t. The people we did meet were lovely, though.

    Jamaicans seem like the friendliest people in the world. I had only heard Jamaica could be dangerous from the lady at the post office who did my passport. But she also said she went as a 50 something alone white woman and had a blast and never felt in danger once. She didn’t stay at a resort or anything and I think partied at whatever public beaches she could find. Loved every minute of it. I’d say these days you’re probably safer there than you are at say an American public school.

    After scrolling through your channel, I'm shocked you haven't yet highlighted the worst of the worst neighborhoods in the United States, UK, France, or other "First World" countries. It really seems like you're targeting these developing countries when some of the most "misunderstood parts of the planet" are in your own backyard. As a Jamaican, the first set of gunshots I heard was in the USA, the first time I witnessed a shooting was in the USA, and the realities some people face in some parts of America are WORST than what you've shown in Jamaica.
    The reality is that these are the smallest of the smallest neighborhoods in Jamaica that most Jamaicans never go to unless they live there. Why don't you go to the LA metro which has some of the most dangerous communities in America? Why don't you visit some of the Midwestern and Southern 'sundown towns' that are chock-filled with confederate flags and terribly dilapidated buildings? Or why don't you just come to Chicago and hop on the CTA Red line anytime after 8pm (and make sure you go at least as far South as 63rd St.) so you can see the lasting effects of segregation and marginalization in 2023?
    My point is that I think the US or UK should be one of your next destinations because if you're showing the worst and most misunderstood parts of all these other countries, why leave them out?

    I’ve been in Jamaica about 9 times all on a mission trip where we stayed with the locals in their communities maybe cause I was a missionary or they consider me a tourist as an outsider I did not feel threatened in danger or anything remotely that close except the one time I got stung by a jellyfish and the locals told me to pee on it but it helped. But what I think nick is showing us is the daily life of an average Jamaican in these cities cause the danger is true for Jamaicans but as an outsider I feel safer in most part in Jamaica then I feel going to the a local store. Jamaica have my a bad rap about being dangerous but it has one of the best loving ppl. Not once I haven’t past a Jamaican in the morning and I get that good morning in that Jamaican accent. As popular as Jamaica is most people just see the tourist but if they venture out and yes the driving part will sometimes leave you with needing to pack of underwear but you’ll be safe and just go and talk to local ppl they will love you and give you some of the best food you ever had that tourist places have nothing at all compared you can get from the locals.
