you're one of my fav TH-camrs
@@mapballedits Thank you :)
Jesus loves you ❤️ please turn to him and repent before it's too late. The end times described in the Bible are already happening in the world.
@@L17_8The end times are happening?
AWESOME!
Nice Mozambique story, risk was it I think,,
The most interesting part of this series for me was how the guide would say that he himself was shocked by some of the things he saw, as a citizen of Mozambique himself. I would have loved if there was an episode devoted to exploring the lives of the middle class (?) in Mozambique. Most foreigners are aware that there is a lot of poverty in Africa. But seeing a native African talk about living in "a bubble" where he felt removed from the poverty he saw in his own country really makes me curious about the side of Mozambique that he comes from.
As an African I will tell you that most Africans don't live in poverty. There is a middle class but westerners love to see poor Africans living in slums. I used to get angry myself seeing this part of Africa I know nothing about. However, I understand that people like Nick are looking for donations for their charity organisations. So poverty porn is a business for them. If you want to see a different side of Africa watch African TH-camrs such as Wode Maya, Taino, African tigress, and Miss Trudy just to mention a few.
I dont think the middle class is very surprising and it is still probably far below what westerners would describe as middle class you notice he speaks good english this is likely an advantage may mean he can get a higher paying job, he sounds educated and is in good health, I think the inclusion of the world bubble was more for the benefit of nicks channel and the viewing audience I am sure growing up in that country he must have had some idea of what it means to be poor.
As a Mozambican, i thank you for showing how we are really living. 🇲🇿
Thousands of Africans are killed every year by Boko Haram, Al Shabab, and other terrorist groups but BLM (Black lives matter) in the west never speak out to help Africans, or bring attention to the problem. Same with left/liberal media and politicians.
Bro I'm surprised that he knows our country
what language do you speak there?
I have hope for the future in Africa, All they need is people to invest, so many people just want jobs, food, why is Elon Building in China, When the People who Need him the most get nothing but trash to burn. You're Hope is the future Sir.
@Natepwnsu you can blame Elon but the government is the number 1 problem
The people are so resilient and strong without losing their positive outlook - Thanks for giving these people a voice to the world Nick.
Beautiful people!
yeah positive outlook while throwing trash everywhere.
The story repeats itself all across our continent. There is so much misery in Africa, and yet so much joy and hope. I hope I live to see things really change.
Is it because of corruption? Now you’ve got the Chinese quietly taking over land with their Belt Rd.
أفريقيا غنية بثراوتها سحقا للصوص تحية من المغرب
How can we all come together as one humanity, knowledge, innovation and most importantly love to help address these issues we know what can be done , how we can educate, with great natural actions and engineering to overcome! How do we make this happen? Simply poverty drives crime , Stress drives poor decision making and cultural divides, judgements lead to non compassion. Please let’s change the narrative so common to one of compassion love understanding and most importantly action!
@@ilhamhadil645Go back to your goat
Birth control only hope
Kia Ora! Once again you’ve done a great job showing us a neglected part of the world. Thanks so much. Be safe.
Thank you! :) Much love
قيا عورع يا خبيبي
I am a South African that has gone to Mozam a lot for holiday. This video and this series and shown a true reflection of Mozambique. Thank you for this series! Africa as a whole - resilient people!
Thank you Casey!
29:36 some children can have everything and never be as energetic as these children...love to Mozambique!
Beautiful kids
they are probably in a trauma response 😢
@@kujjitafari8509They respond well to trauma compared to the more fortunate and less grateful
Never ceases to amaze me how kind and welcoming so many of these people are that you interview, despite their circumstances. It would be so easy for people in these situations to resort to selfish, criminal, evil behaviour, and yet they don't.
being poor and criminalty do not necessarily go hand in hand and many people live poorly and very peacefully around the world has more to do with environment and outside influence like drugs which are off course trafficked and end up being consumed in wealthy countrys.
Poor people need to be kind because they can't get by alone.
I mean he’s gotta be paying them something to film, right? 🤨
When I look at the beautiful and smiling children’s faces, my heart both smiles in return and breaks for the circumstances in which they live. It is hard to fathom and truly understand the suffering. My fervent prayer is that the more awareness that can be brought to those suffering, the more we can all work together to build a better world. As always, thank you Nick for your thoughtful videos that highlight the need but also the fierce spirit of people across the world. Safe travels.
Great perspective. Thanks for your words.
I think we should acknowledge just how far nick has come with his videography and editing skills. Thanks nick for another masterpiece of a series. Keep it up!
I think this is probably one of his better documentarys and the footage and coverage is almost as good as some commercialy produced documentarys I have seen.
this guy has always been a genius. Been watching his content for years.
The quality and insight of Nick's videos just get better and better. This latest series on Mozambique has to be one of my favourites. Looking forward to seeing whats next. Congrats Nick.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the series, this episode was a bit different, a bit longer.
It's a humbling experience.
@@IndigoTravellerNick, have you ever been to Chad?
Yeah I like his format way more than Bald and Bankrupts. Nick seems a lot more genuine overall and I get better general picture of lives of those living there.
Dear Nick, sometimes my heart feels like it’s crying inside after watching your vids. How very humbled I am by what we get to see through the work that you do. The resilience of these people is astounding - I’m not sure I would be as strong if faced with the same challenges. I hope that you are ok after this series. Sending nothing but love and warmest wishes from Australia.
Good day! Pls I need your help
To be fair Australia is a bit of a bubble and most are quite insulated from ever facing the conditions shown in this video.
@@chrisbrown-jw4ce Agree 100% Chris. I think sometimes not all Australians realise how fortunate we are to live somewhere like we do - and that sadly, not all the world is like that. I know that nowhere is perfect, but we have a lot to be grateful for here.
it is a bit of an eye opener, I have recently travelled overseas to a couple of places including Laos, and really as a western traveller its still a noticable bubble with the power of the Aussie dollar, staying at nicer hotels, I did it on a budget but could afford to eat and stay where the locals could not, and it is an unsettling feeling to be surrounded by white people overseas while being served by the local population, huge contrast particularly in phuket where I also visited. My brother is in Laos and runs a charity and provides food and medical care to many rural villages.@@jameswalker68
Interesting video series about Mozambique. I myself have been to Mozambique three times to help with the local drinking water supply. The people are very poor, but they are very friendly, resilient and open. I was shocked by the images from Pemba and the destruction of cyclone Freddy. Thanks for filming this and showing it to us.👍
Thank you for sharing.
Good day! Pls help me
This channel has become one of my favourites honestly. One of the most respectful travellers out there. keep up the good work!
Yes, def one of my fav YT channels!
Thank you!
@@IndigoTraveller When are you ever going to show the good parts in Africa? Must you always make people have negative views about us by doing fake propaganda videos about Africa? Wake up will you?
@@kofiZayn777 It's unfair to say that he is doing fake propaganda. It's not like he is planting all the plastic garbage, or paying people to tell him sad stories.
People watch his videos for shock value. No one wants to see ordinary conditions, as everyone sees that every day in their own countries. Seeing extreme poverty is something that most can't see by just stepping outside.
@@kofiZayn777 Maybe he thinks it's important to raise awareness about how there are good people living in these desperate conditions
I love your channel for showing us what is happening in these countries. As someone in the US, we think it is bad sometimes, when you see this you realize how lucky we are. I hope these people get some help.
Great perspective, thank you for watching!
@@IndigoTravellerDo You Have A Boyfriend!??👬🌈😍
Have you visited a Red state lately? They rely on Blue states for all their federal aid. Florida and Texas are nightmares.
@@shawnprime5085 Yuck! No. He better be straight.
@@shawnprime5085 Yes thank you very much
"Mozambique has commercially important deposits of coal (high quality coking coal and thermal coal), graphite, iron ore, titanium, apatite, marble, bentonite, bauxite, kaolin, copper, gold, rubies, and tantalum. Mozambique holds some of the world's largest untapped coal deposits."
No wonder there's so much conflict and corruption.
People in general are friendly, the hospitality you'll get despite the struggles of life is extraordinary.
Absolutely amazing content, really puts life into perspective.
Honestly so heartbreaking.. No one deserves to go hungry. I could only imagine how difficult it must be being there as I would just want to give everyone money. So much gratitude for all the work and coverage you do Nick, Thank You! ❤
Good day sir! Pls I need your help
I am sure there is enough money in the world to at least feed everyone if it were distributed evenly.
mozambique's natural environment is really quite beautiful... i hope the people of this country can get the help they need
I was already waiting for this next episode 😄 thank you for educating us all!
Thank you Kat!
As a Mozambiquen 🇲🇿 I appreciate your visit to my country Nick ❤
Wow. the contrasts are startling, but I appreciate you showing us the reality as you observe it, and the hope of these resilient people who’ve lost everything and are rebuilding. The kids laughing, the pride so many have in wanting to earn a living - not just looking for a handout. Amazing. Stay safe!
Sitting here watching this while drinking my Starbucks coffee on my balcony of my nice, safe, comfortable apartment in America has left me with so much gratitude. Everytime I watch one of Nick's shocking videos I'm reminded my problems are not real problems. Thank you Nick for documenting these places we would otherwise probably never know of!
Many cities in America are starting to look like Mozambique, sadly.
@armand4464 Hi, Armand. I have in fact donated to his charities. It was for a charity organized when he went to Brazil. I'm sure you also donated to a few. It's the least we can do, isn't it?
@@armand4464 My aunt worked for a charity dedicated to ending world hunger. She would complain about rich donors not taking her to fancy restaurants. That spoke volumes about her and that organization.
I knew a guy from school on Facebook who organized a fundraiser through that organization, and I shared my little anecdote and he unfriended me. Idiot. People in America love learning the hard way. Every time.
The goal is to eradicate middle and working classes in US soon too.. that old hope and change. The USD will lose reserve status in short order and what happens when your "wealth" has no buying power..
Problems are subjective. I've had horrible stuff happen to me in life. I've been assaulted, abused, homeless, addicted, etc and yet I would never assume that people who didn't experience these things don't have problems or reasons to be sad.
Sure, some experiences are objectively worse than others. But if you've lived a real nice life and then you have a bad breakup (or whatever) that would feel like the darkest point in your life and would destroy you.
I was assaulted by a guy when I was 14 and if I'm really honest, it didn't mess me up much. But being cheated on by my first long term girlfriend gave me pretty long term trust issues.
Someone else might have had a different reaction to that situation and that's my point. We all experience different levels of tragedy and yet we all also experience emotional devestation because we all have a different frame of reference.
I'm not a big fan of people saying "well you don't live in a literal hellscape so what could you possibly feel sad about". Seems super disingenuous and surface level.
Dear Indigo , back in 2010 I was ready to go to Pemba to teach English voluntarily when the Haitian earthquake happened and I ended up spending 9 years helping set up schools with the local communities. I actually thought I had seen the worse of the worst in the make shift camps all over Haiti, but you have proved me wrong. Mozambiquans have really been abandoned by their own government and the international community, not to mention Portugal who colonised and exploited Mozambique. It is at times like this when my heart breaks for these wonderful trusting people and I feel so much anger that I think reparations would be a small price for Portugal to pay up right now.
So good to see you back.
Told you that you were the best.
Excellent quality content! Your videos are better and more interesting than watching National Geographic. Greetings from Croatia!
Too kind, thank you!
@@IndigoTraveller It's my pleasure, and stay safe!
This man has some huge balls traveling to these horrible places
Thank you!
Unbelievable conditions to live under yet the people all smiling and upbeat and friendly especially the children simply amazing GOD BLESS them all !
Totally. Incredible people.
The resilience of many on this continent is what keeps Africa moving, honestly. As for the leaders, they would rather rob us and want no cameras projecting light into the lives as they really are. As usual, great work Indigo!
Gosh those kids are the cutest 🤎🕊️💯
Shalom to them.
Thank you for risking your own safety to document the lives of so many people who are in need. It seems that the African people carry a heart of hope and are the kindest even though they are without. It is a testament to these great people.
Man’s is a savage to going against the government for our entertainment. Nick definitely has plot amor 😂
For our information perhaps, not really entertaining especially for me as a South African who travels to South Mozambique every year on holiday.
More like information not entertainment
@@ToxxicMafiaagreed
Highly doubt he's doing it for our "entertainment", but more to let us know what's really going on in the world other than what news outlets are saying or not saying. More to "inform" us, if you're watching this as entertainment than somethings not right.
@@srh361 yessss. People suffering under terrible governments and natural disasters shouldn't be considered entertainment
So glad to see you back!
Great to be back :)
So Happy to see your vidoes again!! Be safe out there 😊
I stumbled on your channel and have been really enjoying the content. It’s amazing you’re able to travel these places and give us perspectives on life in different areas of the world. Thanks for all your trips and insights!
I live in Australia 🇦🇺 and this channel shows how lucky I am to the rest of the world and how others have internal happiness no matter there situation. Thanks nick for sharing with us
It is true. The life of these people is painful. And many people of the first world countries never think about the life of the people of such countries. I hope one day these inequalities will disappear❤
i had the luck to raise in germany, i am half russian and we are from kazakhstan. I had so much luck to raise in peace not like my ancients. not like poeople and "that world". we should be so happy for everything. we can write in internet, thats a blessing
I appreciated --- the generous 42-minute length --- of your final episode --- with no intrusive ads.
Once again, Edmulson wrapped up the essential message of your series --- accurately and open-heartedly!
Thank you for watching, appreciate your words :) Important to keep in mind though that ads are sometimes necessary to support the channel. This video alone cost thousands of dollars to make.
Once again --- you are the master of the OVERVIEW ---
I loved this visit, Nick. I loved Edmilson’s words at the end. I love seeing resilience in action, and the beauty of Mozambique and the people of Mozambique. Thank you once again for highlighting people in (what for an Anglo American seems to be) “far flung” places. In fact, places like Mozambique are central to humanity. Much love to you and the people of Mozambique. 💓
Thank you, Karin. Beautiful words!
The reason is so extremely bad it’s the communist influence of the Frelimo government. 20 years of civil war plus the terrible rule of Samora Marchel from 1975-1986. Plus the white Portuguese were driven out of the country in 1974/75 loosing all the farms and houses that they lived in. They became refugees heading to Portugal around 1974-76
Thank You. Great work you have done. That one should be shown on televisions all over the world
It’s amazing to see how happy those children are, who have little or nothing, yet over here where they have so much, they seem generally sad….
Nick, I just wanted to say thank you for your unbelievable great videos! No words for how important your work is and so many more needs to see them.
Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I pray for your constant safety!!! I have enjoyed your videos for years, and I continue to be gripped each time. I wish you peace 🙏🙏🌻🌻🌻
I learned a lot about Mozambique from this series. Thanks Nick. Can’t wait to see where you go next!
Thank you Nick for the double episode.
Hope you enjoy the extra length, cheers
You're a very brave man Nick for traveling up to Cabo Delgado. As a South African who's been to Moz a few times, you get warned by the locals to not go further than Nampula. It's a beautiful country though with some of the most pristine coastlines on the African continent. Next time please show us a lot more of Maputo
Thank you for another amazing series. Thank you for asking the right questions and always being respectful.
So many youtubers/bloggers are not very educated about the area they visit, asking dumb questions and offensive comments.
You my friend are way to underappreciated.
Can't wait for what's next.
As always thanks for bringing your viewers (including me) virtually to an area of the world that we don't normally hear anything about on the news. Also I was happy to see that @GabrielTraveler & you met up us recently as you and he are my favorite TH-cam vloggers.
Hello Nick. Good to see a new episode. Always a good day to release; Sunday. As always excellent work!!!
Thank you, Russell, a long one this week :)
Phew, last week we were confused what has happened!
But it was worth to wait for a double episode like this one!
Cheers! Yeah a Double episode this week ;)
This is one of the most important TH-cam channels right now. Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us all.
Always look forward to your videos, Nick! I really like these longer format ones. I want to see as much of the places as you can share and hear all the stories of the amazing people you meet. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next series!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the longer video!
Nick, I thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. I found your channel last year and have been watching every since. Great content and great quality videos. Please be safe in your travels.
Thank you Princess!
Um prazer receber você aqui em Moçambique
These videos make me grateful for what I have. No disrespect to anyone in these videos. I see them as strong brave people. ❤
Your videos are amazing and eye opening. The lifestyles that we live and compare it to these places you share with us is heartbreaking. You put yourself at such great risk to show the world what’s out there and you are an amazing person. Thank you!
The resilience of these folks are second to none. They have so little and are smiling. Out here in the west, kids suffer from depression from not getting enough likes on social media.
they are smiling because a rich stranger is pointing a camera at them, and in many places, it's considered rude to complain to strangers. why are you assuming poor people can't act in ways that are polite, instead of baring their souls to whomever comes by?
Please stay safe love ya work keep it up showing truth to the world 🌎
Thanks man. I watch all your videos. I appreciate all the work that goes into these. Travel/Danger/Recording/Editing Really!
I love your channel. I'm absolutely amazed by the amount of
personal risk you place yourself in so you can bring us such
excellent content!
Thank you so much!
This series has been amazing 👏
Thank you for tuning in
So beautiful and serene country with amazing people. In most of our African countries “if not all”, only less than 5% of our population enjoys the wealth of our countries at the expense of the 95% of the population. That’s so sad. 😢
Thank you so much for sharing with us, Nick.
Thank you Mohammad, big love to you as always!
Their reslience is incredible, great coverage!
thank you so much for making these videos. you are helping these people be seen.
The people there are so beautiful. It is absolutely so sad that greed and corruption is taking away money meant to help the people who have become 'invisible' to the government. Fantastic vlog yet again Nick. Thank you.
Wow this was such an insight to Mozambique, a part of Africa which I'm sure most people are unaware of. I hope that people could help out more and donate so these people can live a more normal and safe life that they surely deserve. Thank you Nick, much love to you and stay safe brother.
Thank you!
The lady with the yellow top has such a wonderful giggle!❤😊 As well the kids having a blast!😂 Wish I could help rebuild.
You are one of the few TH-camrs who serve a true, altruistic purpose. It’s so important to hear the humanity and reality behind all of these crises around the world. Thank you for all you do.
I'd love to see you go to Zimbabwe next!
Would love to see Zimbabwe!
Your a very good reporter Nick, you shame main stream media. STAY SAFE. 👍🕊🐨😢
Thank you for tuning in :)
One of the bravest you-tubers ever. Great efforts!! Great videos!! You always focus on the communities you visit rather than on yourself. Thank you for helping people understand the world they live in! I wish even more people watch the amazing content you are making. Keep the nice work ❤
Love your humility in approaching the people. Great video.
This Mozambique series has been amazing
Thank you, glad you enjoyed. Big thanks to Edmilson!
Great to see Kiwi's making it on YT. Stay safe!
Appreciate that, thank you :)
I’m so glad you continue to show me places I’d never otherwise see. Thank you. 🇨🇦
Nick- you are an amazing journalist. I’ve said that before and it’s worth repeating again. And you are an incredible videographer. Wish you the best!
hi nick I was in South Africa for 3 months this year was thinking of visiting Mozambique while I was there but did not go will be in S A in December this year I will definitely go this time thanks for your informative and interesting work regards from Ireland James
I have watched over 200 of Nick's videos. Since 2017. Inspired me to Travel and Vlog. Thanks, Nick!
Thank you for the long time support!
@LifeMoves,
200 videos! That's like 60 hours of your life you are never getting back! LOL!
Another amazing video mate. I love travelling & adventure but you take the trips I lack the courage to, thanks for taking us with you. Always fascinating, empathetic & insightful.
Wishing the best for Moçambicanos from Brazil
Really informative video ❤❤keep making the same stuff 😊😊
Appreciate that, thank you!
Glad to see you back after your well deserved break man, you never miss with these. Never change Nick‼️
Thank you so much!
I have been watching your videos everyday before work lately. Very educational, keep up the good work mate
Thank you Nick, for always showing the good and bad sides of the countries that you visit. ❤ The people and landscapes of Mozambique are beautiful.
I love your content!! Keep exploring, I’m learning soo much about other cultures through you ❤❤
Appreciate the support!
Government: You can’t go there 🤚
Nick: Don’t believe me, just watch
Thanks for showing these places and amplifying these voices once again 🤍 We all need to continue trying to stay connected and aware of what is going on within our world. Nothing is far away. It’s only distance.
Thank you for the kind words :)
You are starving and losing weight yet you cant talk about it. Just like Venezuela once gubbb mint decided to hyperinflate them into starvation
Thank you. I love your reporting. Was really touched by the hardships and the enormous resilience of the people of Mozambique.
Love the channel and all the content you post!
I’ve never seen anything on Mozambique before; you taught me a lot! 🇲🇿
still alive 😊😊?
Looking forward to new content. 👍👍🙂❤️
If there is 1 thing I have learned from watching your videos is this. When trouble happens your government IS NOT coming to help anyone but themselves.
Govern ment means literally to govern the mental / mind control
Thank you!
Please stay safe in your travels.
Thankyou so much for your always awesome content Nick, showing us places in the world that hardly any of us will visit. Much appreciated.
respect for all women in countries like that. they are strong asfuk mentally and in everything. the women here not compareable in europe..
I think there government should encourage the people to stop having kids, that would be a start, it’s not fair to the children to suffer
You had such a great guide to help you around.
Fantastic series as always.
Keep it up.
Totally, Edmilson is a treasure!
Always an eye opener, thanks nick
Muitos força pra Moçambique 💪🇲🇿 cumprimentos desde Portugal 🇵🇹
Government: don't come
Nick: I'm gonna come
it's just clickbait, no one said anything like this to him.
The area looks beautiful, and the people seem friendly. It looks like it would be a great place to visit when the situation improves.
World class journalism Nic...thank you.
