Genuinely love how you treat others’ homes with respect and speak to the people with dignity. I know not everyone you meet has the best intentions, but you do an amazing job of navigating social situations amongst various cultures and remaining respectful.
One thing that always strikes me about the countries you travel to is the children. Always smiling, always happy. I guess they know no different. Thanks again.
People smile when a rich foreigner points a camera at them. It's not about being happy, it's about being polite and maybe getting them to give you some money. What would scowling and frowning get you in this situation? People smile for many reasons. Don't automatically assume it's because they're happy.
You know I've spent time in 3rd world countries and noticed not only are the children happy but the whole society is happy. Smiling etc. I was a missionary and loved to watch the people on the streets while we ride a van around different citys they had very little but seemed really happy to me.
and he didnt even tip them a 20$ or even 10 he making money from the videos this youtubers never show love to locals in this poort countries they makng money from t he videos but never give back. Indigo isnt that bad but there are some other youtubers tha go in india, nepal etc go in people houses record them and dont even show little love like natives owe this youtubers content
Where do I begin? For as long as I have followed you Nick, you amaze me with every upload. Your storytelling is something for the screens. You have the ability to connect with everyone you meet, strike up conversation and help them speak their truth. Honestly, supporting you via Patreon, LCS-ing (Liking, Commenting and Subscribing) are not enough. I try get people to watch your content because you weave in a lot of intricacies in your videos. You really sit down and take your time. Thank you for your content. And thank you for the support you give to the people you meet as you tell the different stories. You keep me glued to my screen, rewatching a lot of your older content too
From ‘luxury mansion vibes’ to ‘sewage flood chic’ in 10 meters. Madagascar’s rich vs poor is literally a step across the street. Well done on 2mill bud
Strangely , Pittsburgh here can be the same way. Certain groups want to be near the wealthy, move in next door, downgrade the neighborhood, and there you go.
And the bad thing is these type living arrangements aren't getting any smaller globally speaking. What's stoping these people from striking out for better place to live. That's what i would do leave and find a better place to live somehow someway i would get out of that situation by go somewhere else.
yeah, it probably wasnt the best idea for the French to leave the country. I bet people would move in a heartbeat to the island right next to them-Reunion, which is still fully governored by the French.
People in the uk really take things for granted, bad living conditions here is super luxury compared to bad conditions in Madagascar, I’d say around 70-75% of the world lives in this state of poverty and around 80% of the 30% living comfortably have no idea what the rest of the world is truly like. Your work is amazing keep up the good work nick and stay safe please
I just wanted to say you embody what all humans should aspire to be-showing respect to people of all backgrounds and giving a voice to the voiceless. Your videos have given me a perspective I deeply needed, and they’ve made me more grateful for the life I live. Please never stop doing what you do. Lifetime subscriber now.
It’s always so humbling to see people who have the least are almost always the most giving and caring. It makes me have faith in humanity when it’s getting harder to keep that faith.
Sadly you normally don't get rich by being nice. The system favors the ones who aren't afraid to go over bodies to get what they want. It's really fucked
Felt like the train driver was almost watching you presenting to the camera,lol. I imagined him eyeing you with binoculars with one hand with the other on the horn - waiting for you to open your mouth to say something. Obviously not the case, but made for a hilarious mental picture.
Your videos are exceptional at showcasing the planet in a very raw way that captures humans in their real state. Absolutely love how the kitten was on a leash to stop it getting hit, even though the people are financially devastated you can tell they’re good people. Please keep doing what you do forever
Thank you for representing my country. I'm glad to see one of my favorite youtubers here, thank you for presenting some of our poor living conditions and how sometimes we can be left out.
Sad but excellent video. Thank you. I visited Madagascar once via small, expedition cruise ship, but it was small places in the north, Nosy Be and Nosy Komba. Both places were best remembered for their wildlife, especially the lemurs, as well as local handicrafts. Very, very different from big city depicted here.
I'm just finishing a 6 week trip here in Madagascar. There are many places like that in Madagascar (Diego Suarez, Majunga, Tamatave, Sambava) I seriously doubt you will see them on this channel, not enough misery & poverty to show.
Thank you for the opportunity to see another place that many of us will probably never get to. Seeing the world and the way other people live is so important for compassion, understanding and empathy. Your videos help this happen.
I love what you do man, been watching your content for a while now and it really helps me cherish and appreciate more the conditions I live in as a middle-class worker and head of my family in Costa Rica. Even with our problems here in Costa Rica, I can´t say its anything near to what I am seeing over here in your videos. God bless Keep it going brother, what you do is very important.
Your videos are always so educational. I am always learning about countries that I never imagined I could ever see before. Thank you so much Nick. God bless you.
I really love your channel: not only you allow me to travel even though I don't have the money to, but you make me see places I wouldn't dare to go to, but that are important to see to know how people live. Thank you very much for your videos!
I hope the government builds affordable housing right where they live. If they are already there, that is their homeland. With proper sewer and running water. It's the least they can do. The other problems are everywhere anyway.
I am in Madagascar now; I have never seen so many children under the age of 8 begging for money on the road. I did not realize how poor the country is when I decided to visit. It is a great contrast when you see a fancy restaurant with foreigners going in to eat while children are begging outside. The Western world, India, and China benefit from this situation. Taking advantage of the poor while going on vacation benefits the rich in that country, helping them to become wealthier. Poverty, in your view, vacation is really eye-opening.
Great work, Nick! Always humbling seeing the lives of others making do with what little they have. Being blessed to be born in USA wasn't my decision, and even for me life can be hard sometimes, hard to stay positive. But your videos are a reminder to be grateful above all else. Thanks
This is so tragic for the people. Madagascar is so rich in natural resources such as cobalt and the government is allowing this companies to get extremely rich. But do not give back to the people that live there. It's heartbreaking to see conditions the people live in while the fat cats live in luxury homes right along side. There's no humanity, I will never understand how such greed goes unpunished. Hopefully there will be changes, for the wonderful people you have meet. ❤
Nick, I have been following for a couple years now and you never let us down. Very good and informative as always. Keep them coming! :) Regards from Sweden
Thank you Nick for providing all the different prospectives from around the world. I continue to be a big fan of all your videos look forward to more in the future.
Thank you for another wonderful video, Nick! Once again you did an amazing job capturing the culture and lifestyle of the people living in Madagascar. Happy you are healthy and safe! Looking forward to your next video! God bless you 😊
Love your editing and eye for details. One of the best travel channels. Actually, a lot more than a travel channel; cultural mission. A little disappointed that you didn't explore the countryside this time.
When I see videos like this (great video by the way) makes the think how lucky I am to have been born in a country that has good infrastrcutre, food and health care.
Thank you for visiting us ! It's truly an amazing documentary, since some of us don't actually get to see what you've seen, although we've lived there for many years! We're glad you enjoyed your time with us despite the poverty you've encountered, Malgasy people remain joyful and positive even through hard times ! It'll hopefully get better !
Well done, and congratulations on reaching 2 million subscribers, Nick. You well deserve it! It's sad to see the way ppl living around the world live, which makes me stay humble and grateful for what I have. Please stay safe. :-)
Awesome video my friend, like any other you made. I just wish there were more of them. I know this was not your best year, but hopefully we gonna watch more videos from these interesting places next year. Stay safe and healthy Nick
It’s kind of funny to me to see a Radisson hotel just placed right there in the middle of that “slum”. Obviously haven’t finished the video but it’ll be great as always nick, stay safe brother.
I couldn't find many documentaries about Madagascar and only cognized it was a underdeveloped country. I appeciate Madagascar people are being hard to struggle no matter how they face on many difficulty. They deserve to have better life at all. Thanks for your filming to show us the reality of Madagascar.
I really loved the tour guide. He was so sweet and cool, I don’t think I’ll ever make it to Madagascar but I wish I could to support him and go on one of his tours

this is so cool how you go to these places
@@Ryancool446 Thanks for following along :)
Great seeing you back. Kind of curious where it is you WERE going to go, but couldnt make it work.
do you bless any of the peoples houses you visit? like give money
@@plantdaddy7738 he talked about hooking them up with glasses for the father with vision problems
The train blowing its horn every time you started talking was hilarious 🤣🤣
😂😂
i had tears lol
cracked me up
The guide has to be one of the chillest dudes on the entire planet
He ate too much brain XD
he has a great speaking voice
Insert chill guy meme here
He seems to have a gift to find the chillest guides wherever he goes..Sean from haiti comes to mind.
At least you find something amusing even though they live in filth.

Some cultures seem to value personal relationships and family more. This in general makes people more pleasant and they tend to be friendly and funny.
@@perfectallycromulent And dont automatically assume they are not!
The conditions these people live in is eye opening, thank you Nick.
Thanks for watching!
And nose closing.
And the poor kitten and animals.
and he didnt even tip them a 20$ or even 10 he making money from the videos this youtubers never show love to locals in this poort countries they makng money from t he videos but never give back.

Are u serious did not the man say he will help out with glasses for the man that works at soap factory@@speeddemon8977
This channel always reminds me to be GRATEFUL!!!! Everyone watching needs to practice GRATITUDE.
100%

Your work is amazing keep up the good work nick and stay safe please
Dont worry you keep importing those "refugees" and youre going to be living like them soon enough.
if you want to know , you will. 20 min driving from us same picture. we are just middle class, from pay day to pay day.
I just wanted to say you embody what all humans should aspire to be-showing respect to people of all backgrounds and giving a voice to the voiceless.

Amazing words, thank you so much!
The people of Madagascar are incredibly resilient. Despite facing immense challenges, they continue to find joy and hope. It's truly inspiring.
Absolutley. Beautiful.
Unfortunately that s what the politicians are profiting from. They know they can fill their pocket and people wont mind.
It’s always so humbling to see people who have the least are almost always the most giving and caring. It makes me have faith in humanity when it’s getting harder to keep that faith.

@@pddembowski it's a reality globally, we who can travel are wealthy in comparison even if we are "roughing " it.
I visited those islands as well! I travelled by dhow and camped on the islands. I agree, life on the islands is very different from the mainland.
Thank you for the opportunity to see another place that many of us will probably never get to. Seeing the world and the way other people live is so important for compassion, understanding and empathy. Your videos help this happen.
Thanks so much!
Crazy stuff, I had no idea! thanks for sharing!

Cheers 4 watching!

Taking advantage of the poor while going on vacation benefits the rich in that country, helping them to become wealthier. Poverty, in your view, vacation is really eye-opening.
How are they taking benefit? Going on vacation helps the working people, creates jobs and incentivizes investment.
I always want to travel to these places after watching your videos
Madagascar is fun to travel, go for it :)
Great work, Nick! Always humbling seeing the lives of others making do with what little they have. Being blessed to be born in USA wasn't my decision, and even for me life can be hard sometimes, hard to stay positive. But your videos are a reminder to be grateful above all else. Thanks
Great ending of the weekend. Sit back, relax and watch Nick’s documentaries.
Love it, enjoy!
I was waiting for this since your last video. Great vid! Thanks❤

Watching your vids helps me stay grateful for what I have 🙏 Thank you Nick
It’s hard to fathom so many people in 2024 are living without even an outhouse. So sad to know the pollution is so bad too.
Another great video brother! always look forward to your content.
You getting interrupted by the train horn had me laughing hysterically
Hahaha
Thanks Nick! You are amazing with your content. I learn so much!
Truly thank you for sharing this country and the people with us!
appreciate your channel bro! inspired me to start my own youtube channel journey 🙏
Cheers mate, all the best with it
A huge thanks for you Nick and Manitra for showcasing the true life in this desperate but joyful country which is also mine.
Beautiful
splendid tour guide , right from the 1st episode to this episode. 👏
Absolutely, Mantra the legend!
These videos make me glad to live where I do. Entertaining as always
Thanks!
Every video you produce broadens my view and influences my perspective. Very well done. How do you find your guides?
As always, great videos Nick
Nick your videos are priceless ❤
It’s kind of funny to me to see a Radisson hotel just placed right there in the middle of that “slum”. Obviously haven’t finished the video but it’ll be great as always nick, stay safe brother.

So crazy, awesome video, thanks for that. Really make me realize the luck i have.
Great series ! Looking forward to your next destination !
I like your guides, man, even the guides from other videos of yours
Yes enjoyed it very much, wish we could see more.
I couldn't find many documentaries about Madagascar and only cognized it was a underdeveloped country.

Thanks for your filming to show us the reality of Madagascar.
Thanks for watching!
Goodafternoon , good evening & goodnight …. Love your videos From Aus Sydney ❤️
Love to Aus!
I really loved the tour guide. He was so sweet and cool, I don’t think I’ll ever make it to Madagascar but I wish I could to support him and go on one of his tours
Thank You For Sharing Madagascar Nick, God Bless You Always, Wendy
Just unreal living conditions for those folks Nick...! Makes me truly appreciate what we have... even if they are the simple things...
Thank you for sharing!
Excellent video as always. Thanks for your work. The opening scene of Casino Royale was in Madagascar.
Ur one of the best things about TH-cam i could watch your stuff forever but i need to sleep and work 😂
6:29 New Barney lore just dropped. He's actually a crocodile.

0:44 Surely one of the most glaringly unequal societies in the world
These people are so resilient it’s amazing. I feel so bad for the people and seeing that little kitten😢.
Holafly sounds really useful I will look them up. Thanks for the tip
Oh man I love ox tongue. Childhood memories. Also love these videos Nick. :)
Great Video ! Keep your Great work up💪
