    After making 1,100+ videos in 194 countries, this is one of my favorite videos thus far! Find out what $10 USD can get you in Venezuela!
    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!

      Are you someone who reads as much as possible about potential investments and asks questions about them? If so, maybe you don't need investment advice. However, if you are busy with work, children, or other responsibilities, or if you feel that you are not knowledgeable enough to invest on your own, seek professional investment advice.
      Investment professionals offer a variety of services at varying prices. You can get investment advice from most financial institutions that sell investments, including brokerage firms, banks, mutual funds and insurance companies. You can also hire a broker, investment advisor, accountant, financial planner or other professional to help you make investment decisions

      @Ame_rodri ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Remember, there is no such thing as a free lunch. If professional financial advisors work for you, their efforts will pay off. Some of your possibilities are easier to see right away than others. However, in any case, always feel free to ask your investment professional how and how much is paid out.

He did so because he was kind. The price of a Moto taxi in a partially developed city like Saigon, would cost like 60c USD for the same ride, so how the hell do you feel bad when he gave them a months wage?

    It's really unfortunate what the people in Venezuela have to go through. What drew's videos show though, is that there's always a good side to a country. He shows the world that not every country depicted as being bad is bad, he shows that there is good in each country, & i think that's important as to help not create stereotypes about other countries and their people/governments. Of course there will be exceptions, but for the most part, I think that there is good in every country. Thank you, Drew. ☺
