🔴 *THANK YOU* for following along as I learn more about Lebanon at this pinnacle moment in its history. I hope this episode brings more balance to the series as a whole. Stay up to date on my Instagram: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ Please leave your feedback in a comment below, good or bad! Cheers, Nick.
You are very negative about Lebanon, last week you talked about the rapid gunfire over your head during the celebrations, this week you've talked about it again, it happened get over it, it doesn't look good to the outside world, but it's their tradition, you don't like it, leave, it's nice that you are showing the world about lebanon, but keep out the politics.
*☼ **8:40** that is very...plough share! i wonder if he realizes the liberal market on the west coast for that kind of thing.* both for helping small business, political symbolism and general liberal talking pieces. & ppl would pay for it too. another gr8 vid. (=
Lebanese expat, grew up in Beirut and had to leave to make a living, been to Australia, Netherlands, UAE and now Ireland in search for a better future, I hope Lebanon gets better, I miss home and my family, these videos are great, thank you for your work
@Matthew not all of us are Catholics we have our own church and rite called Assyrian church of the east half of it split up to Catholics though. We also have orthodox Assyrians in Syria. I prefer to say we are a Christian people instead of a single rite. We also have some Assyrians in Iran urmia
Friendly and social people always equals to a happy and fulfilling place,even though their country situation right now is suffering from many social problems. Stay safe always Indigo Traveller
It is amazing to see how this TH-camr started as a rather light weight type of travelling and commentaries and now transformed himself in a very good documentarist of serious issues. Indigo grew up in front of our eyes. It is like he was an innocent kid from NZ and now is a seasoned independent journalist. Congratulations!
I'm not just learning about Lebanon and its beautiful people, I'm seeing throughout ALL of your series how more alike (than different) the people of the world are. We all want the same things -- to feel safe, to feel secure, to enjoy the beauty around us, and to have human connection. Thank you, Nick.
now Lebanon is cheap for those who have dollars (back in 2019 1 dollar =1500LL, now in 2020 1 dollar =8500LL in the black market ), so it is a good option for tourists, the increase in prices affected the locals who get paid in Lebanese currency, for example, 1 year ago the residential rent for a standard apartment was 500$ per month now the rent is about 100$ or less. all this happened because of the dollar shortage.
Yes but during the pandemic tourism stopped. We as people living in Lebanon are suffering from the drop in the lira. 1500LL used to be a dollar. Now its 9000LL for a dollar. The people living here are still getting in Lebanese Lira and not in USD.
The overriding message in this video is: things are bad but a positive attitude, community working together to restore things, pacific mentality goes a long way. Your videos are so much an encouragement to us and stirs us to learn and act
Hey, i’m Lebanese currently studying in Lebanon. My dream was to stay here my whole life. But after everything that happened, I just want to leave. But it’s technically impossible because of the economic crisis and all the money in the banks that “disappeared”. It’s really horrible living in a country where you never know when a bomb or missile might hit your home and leave everyone dead. I’m hopeless honestly and I know that with our political “leaders” no progress is possible. Just trying to keep a positive mindset and continue studying even though it has been the hardest year of my life I really thank you for coming here again even after everything that happened and thank you for shedding a light on our situation.
@@IndigoTraveller I fully agree, Jim! Nick's videos have provided a source of compassion, hope, and awareness to me as I remain self-isolated to prevent the spread of COVID here in America. Suffering across our world is very real, but so is human strength, kindness, and the ability to overcome. Thank you, Nick! I look up to you greatly, and will be sharing your videos with all my peers!
I lived in Lebanon since Sep 18 - Oct 19. It was an amazingly beautiful country, with great food & warm people. After all the incidents Lebanese people encounter, they still very warm toward guests. It is amazing. Great people, nice country. I really miss Lebanese food.
I'm Lebanese and recently left Lebanon because of all the problems you mentioned, I live in California and it's hard to live away from my home but I have to unfortunately. Despite all these problems to me Lebanon is still amazing in it's people and culture. I will always love Lebanon ❤️🇱🇧
Glad to see Jimmy again. I remember thinking he was on of the coolest locals you've met through your trips. What a legend. Anyway, congrats on your work helping and raising awareness! It's nice to see fun & travel videos but times have changed and you're really making a difference. Stay safe.

Thank you very much for your videos on these national issues, i am a greek guy from berlin with a lot of lebanese friends in my area and really all they need rn is understanding, and you are giving that through letting these people share their perspectives You are doing good work, and i hope you continue enjoying it because it´s important work
That means a lot to me, thank you. Yes, the story of Lebanon right now is extremely underrated and I believe more people need to know about it. Take care, Nick.
@@reyrodriguez1005 Yeah you are right but what this guy means is that Lebanon have witnessed way more than a bad economic situation Lebanon fought 16 countries and never lost, Lebanon witnessed 25 years of continuous war and stood on its legs again, and now Lebanon is witnessing a hard time and corrupt government but beleive me it will be back.
No they aren't... Where are the queen and gold chambers .... More to come: idol worship and refusing Ishmeal GOD OF ABRAHAM. ENOUGH eating off the fat of earth

@@thomasa4239 Google global truth project and read "the Present" to see the truth about life/death. Nothing is more important than checking it is true, especially pgs 1-4
I've followed Nick for a few years now and every video series seems to get better and better and they always seem to have a purpose behind, to make people aware. The Lebanon series has hit the 'nail on the head' with making the clear purpose which I think we can all gather from the videos. Keep it up Nick, and look forward to the next one.
Hey nick, im a fellow citizan in lebanon and currently living in it, I wanted to say that thank you for the awarness that you r spreading from your heart, stay strong my lebanese brothers and sisters because better days are on the horizon
Well, yes, but I mean, he makes swords, though. I think he might be enjoying the irony - living in a bit of bitterness. As a human being, I believe every situation’s story is nuanced, beyond belief. I think it is somewhat elitist to believe that people are different than I am, simply because their circumstances may be. Our circumstances influence us in many ways that are also subconscious. Resiliency is found in the solution based responses, rather than the fear based reactions. Fear is present in the minds of people from wealthier countries when they visit more impoverished countries. The fear that this could just as easily be them. Sometimes the reaction to fear is to treat people like victims when they don’t want to be. This is just as destructive as any explosion or war because it makes them feel demeaned, and incapable.
Thank you always Nick for sharing these video’s. As hard as they are to watch we all need to see what is happening with our fellow man. Your work is priceless!!!
I feel like we as humans could learn a lot from the people in such a hard stuck country - such genuine positive people it’s just so nice and really restores my faith ❤️
I think that you think you're saying something nice but in reality it comes off as very patronizing. I often find that terms like "positive people" is just a pretty transparent proxy term for "I think they're uncivilized and unintelligent and I have nothing else complementary to say about them so I default to vague adjectives and expressions with essentially no bar whatsoever for evidence like 'full of life,' and 'vibrant.' " In my experience, people who say things like that typically say exactly the same things about any other country they feel is beneath them, because to that person there's no difference between any of those non-European/non-North American/non-Northeast Asian countries. Never mind the incredible things invented by the Lebanese people historically and all of their modern accomplishments in areas that are considered to be "traditional" measures of success (which inevitably far oustrip the rate of whomever is the native population of their new country), a.k.a. the types of things these patronizing people often assume they must lag far behind in. It's also people who say those types of things who, upon hearing about how strong Lebanon's economy was in the mid-20th century leading up to the Lebanese Civil War in 1975, will reflexively go "oh because of the oil, right?" Even though there's never been any oil to speak of in Lebanon and the entire economy was built on the back of the professional sector (doctors/lawyers/bankers in particular), they assume that Lebanese people are too simple/stupid/backwards to have ever built anything for themselves, despite the fact that if it weren't for their invention of the alphabet they wouldn't have ever been able to write down any of their comments...
I'm Ukrainian living in Lebanon since 2018, married to Lebanese. People and nature here are really amazing! But the situation is so bad, its hard to build the future here now... Thank you for this video!
@@p3tro722 There are 50 relegions in lebanon fighting each other and each religion fights each other what is the same we have iran and syria and their conflicts and missiles and shit

Thank you for choosing lebanon as a place to talk about. I'm from Lebanon I've watched all your videos and you've showed me beautiful places that I haven't seen yet I really appreciate your work and I hope that Lebanon will be a better place in the future
Your Lebanon shows are the best. I was there 15 years ago with the war and they thought they had problems THEN. Such bad luck for a lovely people. Great video(s), D.A., J.D. NYC
Wow, food prices have always been a significant factor to realize whether the people are doing fine or not. Very interesting shots again, thank you very much for sharing!
Food prices are artificially low because the central bank is still subsidizing them. We are paying out of our pockets so that tourists can eat for cheap. It is a system that is destroying itself.
It's not from what I expected from the title, but I'll give u a thumbs up anyway because of the beautiful people and their words. Stay safe everyone, wishing you the best in Lebanon
I saved this video three years ago, and today, I stumbled upon it again. Sadly, instead of witnessing progress, I can only say that things have worsened. We find ourselves in the midst of war. My beautiful Lebanon and its people are struggling more than ever. My heart aches for my country and its people. Prayers for Lebanon and for all the broken hearts it holds.
Thanks for going to Lebanon again. I remember your first time and that video I watched and shared. You know how to brighten up a sad story. Stay safe and say hi to all the kind Lebanese people.
As a Lebanese from .... I wanna say Tripoli and Beirut when I got there it makes me cry seeing all this but I appreciate everything when u come to Lebanon and these stuff keep going so we appreciate people are still coming after everything we are through and been through
I really look forward to your videos. I really enjoy getting to see places I would never get to see other than your videos. I wish you had videos everyday to watch😀
Sending my love and prayers to Lebanon.. I have so many lovely Lebanese friends here in my home country Zambia. Your people are so warm and lovely. I hope things turn around for the better...
As a lebanese student, I hope to stay in this beautiful country , I know its hard for us to live in a country when everything can happen but we as lebanese people will stay together until we rise again, thank you for visiting us when you could be afraid from this country.
Thank you so much for your videos. National geographic should look into your videos and think about using them. What you do is amazing, and you help people like me, learn more about other cultures, and countries and meet the rsal people . Then again national geographic might ruin your videos. Thanks again I love watching these videos.
Wow Nick some of those landscape shots were amazing ! That natural bridge was epic. Living here in Australia I grew up with some Lebanese friends and their families where always so welcoming and warm to me. I see that same spirit in the people you are meeting along your journey. Thanks for the videos mate 👍
11:31 here he actually started by saying that the weather in lebanon is unlike any other, but yes what he said after is true many lebanese people try to help each other when possible and that's something amazing that people who are in the same area same environment care for each other.
I left Lebanon after the explosion and came to Australia, it was so hard to see what happened in Lebanon, in my home country, and it was so hard to see what the Lebanese people went through, but they are so strong. All the love to Lebanon ♥️♥️
Thank you for sharing all this. Im from Lebanon and im living at a place called Bazoun and my house is next to a restaurant called nourage. I appreciate that so much. Thank you

I'm Ukrainian living in Lebanon since 2018, married to Lebanese. People and nature here are really amazing! But the situation is so bad, its hard to build the future here now...
Thank you for this video!
And in Ukraine too with the economy and the dombass conflict it’s similar to Lebanon’s problems
@@p3tro722 ahhh... not similar, something close but not similar, trust me.
@@p3tro722 There are 50 relegions in lebanon fighting each other and each religion fights each other what is the same we have iran and syria and their conflicts and missiles and shit
@@victoriakanuper6092 I’m sad reading this comment thread one year later 😔
This is sad but let’s hope that that can be change soon for the Lebanese people who so much deserve it.
Yes, let's hope.
Thank you🇱🇧❤❤
That’s myyy moms Village I go there very summer I was there 4 moths ago and I kinda know that man when we walk we see him. and sometime buy from there thx for showing it ❤️❤️jezzine is so beautiful
Jezzine sure is beautiful.
Thank you for choosing lebanon as a place to talk about. I'm from Lebanon I've watched all your videos and you've showed me beautiful places that I haven't seen yet I really appreciate your work and I hope that Lebanon will be a better place in the future
This is my country
Lebanese and proud🇱🇧
And you're welcomed anytime ❤🤍💚❤
Thank you Melina!
What are you proud of?
@@scottbravo3 she's proud for being lebanese
I'm proud too for being lebanese
Your Lebanon shows are the best. I was there 15 years ago with the war and they thought they had problems THEN. Such bad luck for a lovely people. Great video(s), D.A., J.D. NYC
Wow, food prices have always been a significant factor to realize whether the people are doing fine or not. Very interesting shots again, thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you as always!
Food prices are artificially low because the central bank is still subsidizing them. We are paying out of our pockets so that tourists can eat for cheap. It is a system that is destroying itself.
I actually remember Jimmy, two years, wow
Time flies.
Land of the Phoenicians
It's lebanon.
Phoenicians are Cannanites can you give proof
It's not from what I expected from the title, but I'll give u a thumbs up anyway because of the beautiful people and their words. Stay safe everyone, wishing you the best in Lebanon
Thank you for watching.
Hello Nick. Good to see you. Thank you for giving these people a voice and showing the world real news. 💞✌
Thank you for watching, Kristin.
I saved this video three years ago, and today, I stumbled upon it again. Sadly, instead of witnessing progress, I can only say that things have worsened. We find ourselves in the midst of war. My beautiful Lebanon and its people are struggling more than ever. My heart aches for my country and its people. Prayers for Lebanon and for all the broken hearts it holds.
I also thought of the similarities with Spain when I watched the video (on what Lebanon can become). Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks for going to Lebanon again. I remember your first time and that video I watched and shared. You know how to brighten up a sad story. Stay safe and say hi to all the kind Lebanese people.
You are the best! Love your vids!
Cheers Erik!
As a Lebanese from .... I wanna say Tripoli and Beirut when I got there it makes me cry seeing all this but I appreciate everything when u come to Lebanon and these stuff keep going so we appreciate people are still coming after everything we are through and been through

Sending my love and prayers to Lebanon.. I have so many lovely Lebanese friends here in my home country Zambia. Your people are so warm and lovely. I hope things turn around for the better...
The poor man who sells vegetables, he has almost no inventory
I have hope for the good people of Lebanon, and I sincerely hope Jimmy can find a way to live there again. Thank you Nick, see you next week!

So sorry for your loss.
As a lebanese student, I hope to stay in this beautiful country , I know its hard for us to live in a country when everything can happen but we as lebanese people will stay together until we rise again, thank you for visiting us when you could be afraid from this country.
Thank you so much for your videos. National geographic should look into your videos and think about using them.
What you do is amazing, and you help people like me, learn more about other cultures, and countries and meet the rsal people . Then again national geographic might ruin your videos. Thanks again I love watching these videos.
That is very kind of you Colin. Hope you are well and appreciate your support :)
IM SOOO HAPPY THAT U DECIDED TO VISIT LEBANON 💕
As a lebanease person thank you for seeing that there is a country named lebanon thanks💜
Thank you for this video and for portraying the amazing people and beautiful nature of my country. Your journalism is amazing!!
Thank you for showing a different story about them.
Please be safe.
Thank you for watching!
I'm from Lebanon love your videos. I watch your videos since 2018-2019 when you came here
Always loved Lebanese people. I wish they could get it together.
thank you so much!
Wow Nick some of those landscape shots were amazing ! That natural bridge was epic. Living here in Australia I grew up with some Lebanese friends and their families where always so welcoming and warm to me. I see that same spirit in the people you are meeting along your journey. Thanks for the videos mate 👍
Thank you for watching, yes, the people are great, so kind.
Wishing peace and prosperity for Lebanon. Lebanese people are awesome... unfortunately they've been led by crooks.
Akshay Padhye it seems that people always vote and love the rooks . Honesty never wins. Just look at the USA and the Trump saga.😣😖😤
11:31 here he actually started by saying that the weather in lebanon is unlike any other, but yes what he said after is true many lebanese people try to help each other when possible and that's something amazing that people who are in the same area same environment care for each other.
As a lebanese i can only thank you for what you are doing.
Please don't stop helping us cuz there is no politician hearing our voices
That means everything, thank you and wish you and your country the best.
I left Lebanon after the explosion and came to Australia, it was so hard to see what happened in Lebanon, in my home country, and it was so hard to see what the Lebanese people went through, but they are so strong. All the love to Lebanon ♥️♥️
We try to make the best of what we have and enjoy the good in life
Beautiful.
When iran is OUT Lebanon will be fine
Stay strong everyone from Lebanon. I really hope things improve for you and this downfall doesn't last very long.
I love this country, thank you for all videos....
Thank you for watching!
Jazzine is well worth the visit,easy to get to from Beirut,via Sidon.
