So sorry you weren’t adapted to the high Altitude in the center of Cuzco. That’s really common. I know a lot of the hotels have oxygen tanks for altitude sick tourists. I guess you won’t be going to Titicaca! Safe travels Kurt!
This is old school, OG TH-cam - just someone doing something rad and interesting. No crazy editing, constant reminders to "smash that like button, etc" and no army-sized production crew. Keeping it real bru. Loving it.
It also helps that he is a big guy. Helps deter some people that may be looking for "easy" money. Add on his friendly nature and no one wants to harm him.
Dogs = rabies. Also Kurt: Never ridden a motorcycle in his life; "learns to ride and shift gears in 5 minutes to visit a remote village in hopes of finding coca leaves, instead finding authentic cocaine which he samples. Rides back without helmet. Totally OK.
it's all about what you tell yourself. Simply saying you have social anxiety will just be another time spent confirming and that idea and affirming that as truth. Try spending time every day saying "I am becoming more __________" and fill in with whatever affirmation you want (confident, attractive, positive, appreciative, outgoing, etc.). If you don't keep it up every day and quit after 2 weeks you'll never know the power of doing this that I am talking about that will come a few months in if not earlier. It's well researched stuff. Read "think and grow rich". Cheers mate.
@@ewoknroll affirmations are okay, you mix that with visualisation all day for years straight and some people still get no where because the miss the main thing : just go and face your fears.
Yeah, he's heard it so many times now and nothing ever happens, he's like "Yeah, whatever". I feel even I've even seen him get warned so many times that I'm also thinking the same.
What I love about you that makes you different from other youtubers, you actually partake in the culture. Giving total respect to them in the process. "Mushrooms? Sure! Pure tobacco cigar from a street vendor? Absolutely! Weed from the local fruit seller? Hell yeah!" My man!
I like this guys attitude, he got told to try one and then kinda felt guilted into paying for it since he lit it, says he didn’t was a cigar but just goes with the flow for the video. Now he’s smoking it and has something to review for content in his video. Knows how to go with the flow and naturally create content out of it. Great TH-camr.
Was always told as a child that your fears will manifest themselves, the more you fear something, the more likely it will happen to you. Envision good things and good things will happen. Kurt understands this.
@@Pekskeh there’s always a chance that someone murders you for fun, but if you give them no reason to kill you what would seriously be the odds? he’s a good guy. people reciprocate that. stop being a pessimist.
What I appreciate most about this channel, is that you don't do as many cuts in your videos compared to the other travel vlog channels which I can't stand because it feels like we're not enjoying the full experience ourselves as viewers. But with no cuts, it's the opposite feeling and I appreciate that so much. Thank you!
Had me on the edge of my seat when I heard the whistling. Good job just speaking to them and saying hello confidently. Gives the leader of the pack an out, he can say "that guy seemed cool -that's why I let him go". Good street smarts!
@@joshuav9289 Sometimes it's just a warning for criminals to say "there's someone suspicious here". Same thing happened when he was walking the streets of Naples: a lot of whistling, and then the drug dealers told him he better put the camera away lol.
@@joshuav9289 Spot on, I live in Peru, whistling is also used to check alertness before robbing a house. It wasn't a knife that he had, probably a lighter, but you are spot on about the whistling.
You can always tell he’s very alert the whole time he’s in these type of areas. Even when he’s eating you can tell he is always checking his shoulder and looking around
@@Edward-ho2bm if you've grown up there or been raised by South Africans you'd understand easier but it's a notoriously dangerous country, especially if you're white and more so if you're a white woman.
I've been in this Belén market too last year. Must had been around the same period. The market itself is quite "peacefull", but the area next to it has a strange atmosphere. Like feeling being watched all the time.
My mother is Colombian from German descent and when we watch you she always admires your charisma and willingness to try everything the world has to offer. She also says you're very Strong and handsome 🙉
Who else loved it when he swore in Afrikaans? At least it sounded like it! Man it would be so great to learn a litte more about Kurt and his life- what led him to being so adventurous etc.
Kurt, your "walk abouts" are always fascinating with a little danger thrown in. I used to be apprehensive watching your vlogs until I realized that with your friendly persona and the confident way that you approach new situations you will most likely be okay!🤣. Also, you seem to be in pretty good condition and look like you can take care of yourself. Keep on entertaining us and showing us new places, people and experiences. Looking forward to seeing whatever you are up to next! 👍💯.
Hey Kurt, I love your videos! As a peruvian myself i would recommend you go to Pozuzo in Oxapampa, its a colony of Austrian descent, the story behind how it got to be its pretty fascinating too and I know you are gonna love it. I think it will be pretty awesome content.
I was in the Navy for 21 years and I think Kurt has seen more of the world than I have. I am now an old man and living vicariously through him by watching his channel. I also want to say that God must be with him how he is able to go to so many dangerous places and not be bothered.
You look like someone that was very special to me. I found myself watching your videos today. He passed away. He had the same personality as you do too. If you are ever in the usa I would love to meet you and just give you a big hug.
I use to solo travel, But Kurts videos really got me wanting to travel the way he does, just walking everywhere and really experiencing the local culture.
@AnyThanGGoes After the colonization in South Africa, white people have become natives of the culture after generations of living there. In other words, white South Africans are African.
I love how you explore the extreme places with calmness while smoking a cigar. You blend well with your surroundings with vigor… Keep your vids coming!
Wow, I just love how you make us feel like we are right there with you! And something to note is that the good vibes you’re getting is a reflection of the good vibes you’re giving ☺️
People always tell you not to go to any place when you're white in South America. I've been walking around many places and nothing happened to me. Didn't make any video about it.
@Django Ramon true, most of them can be robbed by scammers or low class people, Perú it's a third world country anyway and there is a lot of wrong people
I'm baffled as to how Kurt walks so freely with those 2 humungous balls of steel. Props to him, still walking about in these sketchy places after being continually warned by the locals. My favourite travel guide.
It's great that you have awareness and constantly acknowledge the people around you. It is a good safety tactic, it gives the criminal a hard time to approach you since they know that you are aware of their presence.
Great stuff Kurt! Fellow South African (Capetonian) here living in Cusco 13 years +, sorry to hear you had issues with the altitude - you could have stayed down in the Sacred Valley to minimise that or come up slowly from Lima to Arequipa then Puno & Cusco to acclimatise. In retrospect you could have travelled to Iquitos from Colombia by boat. 2 to 3 days from Leticia to Iquitos, instead of flying from Colombia to Lima then driving to Cusco & flying back to Lima. You could also have flown from Medellin, Bogota or Cartagena to Iquitos, then on to Lima & your drive to Kiteni etc. & Cusco. But all part of the adventure. The rainforest out of Puerto Maldonado (40mins flight or 9 hours by car from Cusco) is much better for wildlife viewing & wilderness experience to that near Iquitos. Also it is the height of jaguar season now & the Tambopata rainforest is excellent for that, about 35% of our clients see a jaguar during a 4 or 5-day deep rainforest experience & you also get to visit the world's 2 largest macaw & parrot clay licks on the Tambopata River. A nice adventure out of Cusco a well is the Manu rainforest, the Manu road is epic, similar to that road to Kiteni, but with more waterfalls etc. & finished at Atalaya port where it is all boat travel from there. It is dry season now so driving is relatively easy on the mountain roads, but always recommended to go with a group or guide. You would have then finished at Puerto Maldonado after 5 or 6 days & flown out to Lima from there. Out of Iquitos you really need to travel out a long way to see any really wild wildlife that is not acclimatised to humans by feeding etc. Try visit the manatee rescue centre in Iquitos if you are till there. I can recommend Tahuayo or Muyuna Lodge out of Iquitos - you really need to get at least 3 hours away from the city by speedboat for any decent really wild wildlife viewing or truly unspoiled rainforest. Enjoy & take care with unscrupulous rainforest guides or ayahuasca operators, always go in a group for ayahuasca if you decide to do it & only with reputable shamans, especially if you want to hold on to your camera & clothing! Have a great trip further - my first time in Peru was flying from Cape Town via Rio to Lima & Puerto Maldonado (long 12-hour airport stays) back in 1997 then a full 6 months deep in the Amazonian rainforest out of Puerto Maldonado hard graft cutting over 30km of research trails & researching mammals (averaging 10km walking per day) & camping in untouched wild rainforest - a real lifetime experience & something I will never forget. Looking forward to more videos, also would be great if you could do a video on your vlogging equipment etc., like the street-walking style of your vlogs. That juane was huge!
I'm so glad I found this channel. I was just randomly searching different channels about a month ago and found this. Epic! Been watching each new episode for about a month now and old ones in-between. I can only dream of traveling the world one day.
I love how they say the place is so dangerous (yes, I know it will be) but actually almost everyone there is so concerned for a foreigner's safety to warn them about it constantly
Kurt teaching us if we go into strange places and strange situations with a brave heart and a good nature, we'll find out there's good people everywhere. 🥰
Cuando vengas otra vez a Iquitos me contactas para que veas q hay muchas más cosas para conocer y hacer programas de comidas indígenas.... Mucha variedad saludos desde Iquitos Perú Michel Gutiérrez te saluda
It’s honestly sad years ago in Iquitos I used to be able to walk around the whole city and not have to worry about getting robbed but now I don’t even wanna go visit anymore cause I’m too afraid I'll get robbed.
@@patriciadelpilarmelendezde9493 Alot of charisma? What does ciertro mean? Im Welsh and learning in what context are certain words used like slang for example. Correct me if im wrong but this is formal Spanish. Not informal 'slang' May i ask what part of the world were you born?. Many different types of Spanish i notice.
Love my city, Iquitos!!! I will be going back after all this years of pandemic! Love the food and culture,only some areas are danger, no everywhere. Love you video💃🏽
18:12 Arroz Chaufa is Peruvian's version of Chines fried rice. It is influenced by the large amount of Chinese immigrants to Peru. Peru's fried rice version consists of rice, sweet peppers, green onions, onions, garlic, soy sauce, scrambled eggs chicken and a dash of sesame oil, ginger and cumin.
Kurt, glad you're OK and still the man with no fear. I can't ever imagine doing something like what you've done, you've got brass balls my friend. Gonna miss Stephan, he was kind of the yin to your yang. Keep the vids coming, we love them!!!
This video is the best thing from my suggested feed in a long time. My guy just rocking his sunglasses in downtown iquitos while everyone is telling him he’ll get robbed. I’ll have to watch all of ur vids now
Amazing Video man!! Seeing these people happy without any luxury stuff is amazing. We can look uo to them and learn from them. Money is nothing compered to happiness! Carry on Kurt, amazing content🙏
It’s more then money it’s about finding a means of living and doing it. Happiness is a small step in living life. U need to find the flow these ppl work hard. It’s all about hard work and flowing
Hey 👋 Kurt , Really enjoy watching your vids. Interesting great 👍🏻 places great scenery. Not just the same old boring tourist destinations. Well done keep vids coming, I will keep watching. ✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Stay safe Dude
I spent time in Cusco and Iquitos 20 years ago when they were removing their president Fujimori back in 2000-2001. Watched the street riots happening in Lima while at a cafe in Cusco. Iquitos was by far my favorite place once we took a boat ride up river to a camp in the jungle! I agree with the praise of Cristal. I also learned the heaven that is ceviche and pisco sours.
Dude u r just crazy for visiting all these places i’ve never been and i’m from Peru 😂, i love it!!Also support all ur videos u r doing here, this channel is SO underrated.
The tabacco is Mapacho it is green taback and contains up to 14 times more nicotine than normal tabacco. It is right from the field with normal no contact to big industry. And a lot more spirit ;) The shamans uses it a lot

For the people commenting “what happened to the Cusco vids?” Read the description.
Where is your video of Cuzco?

He was scared of being accused by the dog of attempting to rob!!!!!!

@@paddaboi_ Living :)
I love how everywhere Kurt goes the first warning from the locals are "they will rob you, be careful" and he just goes about it
I'm so glad I found this channel. I was just randomly searching different channels about a month ago and found this. Epic! Been watching each new episode for about a month now and old ones in-between. I can only dream of traveling the world one day.
I love how they say the place is so dangerous (yes, I know it will be) but actually almost everyone there is so concerned for a foreigner's safety to warn them about it constantly
it doesn't matter that 99 out of 100 people are nice, these people know that theres that one guy around who won't be nice
This is why I love the TH-cam algorithm …. Now I found this gem of a channel
Kurt teaching us if we go into strange places and strange situations with a brave heart and a good nature, we'll find out there's good people everywhere. 🥰
Cuando vengas otra vez a Iquitos me contactas para que veas q hay muchas más cosas para conocer y hacer programas de comidas indígenas.... Mucha variedad saludos desde Iquitos Perú Michel Gutiérrez te saluda
Let’s GOOOOOO Kurt🔥 She was not playing when she told you to “eat her” 😂 even though they say it’s dangerous. The majority seemed very humble & nice🤙🏽
😩💀😂😂😂
She is just jacking with him , women like her are funny in Peru . She is been comic.
15:08 Incredible "Peripheral' vision mate, amazing skill to senses that guy approaching.
I was laughing so hard on that lady rizzing you all up hahahaha
Amazing video Kurt. Thank you for showing the culture of my country to the world.🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
Kurt gets told to watch out, hes going to get robbed and obliviously walks past the guy doing the hood whistle down the street.
Notice how he immediately walked into the restaurant grabbed a beer and started chatting with the guy?
Notice both guys had knives. He was seconds from being robbed and probably worse.
@@victorbalaguer407 who had knives? I didn’t see that
@@jarjarrugby7641 11:07 shirtless dude got a knife in his pants
It’s honestly sad years ago in Iquitos I used to be able to walk around the whole city and not have to worry about getting robbed but now I don’t even wanna go visit anymore cause I’m too afraid I'll get robbed.
Wow this was so cool
The tobacco laying in street reminded me of reading tintin adventures when he went to Peru!
I love how almost everyone he comes across he makes them smile by the way he interacts with them
Cierto, Kurt es encantador y amable . Tiene mucho carisma
@@patriciadelpilarmelendezde9493 Alot of charisma? What does ciertro mean? Im Welsh and learning in what context are certain words used like slang for example. Correct me if im wrong but this is formal Spanish. Not informal 'slang' May i ask what part of the world were you born?. Many different types of Spanish i notice.
@@davidbritton3934 ciertro means certainly
That dog jumped up like "who u calling hairless gringo?"
Lmao😂
Loll
😂😂😂😂
Love my city, Iquitos!!! I will be going back after all this years of pandemic! Love the food and culture,only some areas are danger, no everywhere. Love you video💃🏽
Thank god one of your videos showed on my recommended list! i have been watching them all ever since, keep up the good work!
18:12 Arroz Chaufa is Peruvian's version of Chines fried rice.
It is influenced by the large amount of Chinese immigrants to Peru.
Peru's fried rice version consists of rice, sweet peppers, green onions,
onions, garlic, soy sauce, scrambled eggs chicken and a dash of sesame
oil, ginger and cumin.
Freizeit is there actually a chinatown in Peru?😳
And other meats.
@@emilio2647 there is one in Lima
His vibe is absolutely amazing!! I'd love to get to know him on a trip
Kurt, glad you're OK and still the man with no fear. I can't ever imagine doing something like what you've done, you've got brass balls my friend. Gonna miss Stephan, he was kind of the yin to your yang. Keep the vids coming, we love them!!!
WOW this woman was top-tier funny, and you were proper brave. Great video!
You are the sweetest, your papa raised you well.
This video is the best thing from my suggested feed in a long time. My guy just rocking his sunglasses in downtown iquitos while everyone is telling him he’ll get robbed. I’ll have to watch all of ur vids now
This whole video was a vibe ! My girls Peruvian I’m Mexican great to see how her people are
Amazing Video man!! Seeing these people happy without any luxury stuff is amazing. We can look uo to them and learn from them. Money is nothing compered to happiness! Carry on Kurt, amazing content🙏
Same with me, i have money but i choose to only have a smartphone 📱 £50 and a bicycle 🚲 this is all i need 🙏 🇬🇧
It’s more then money it’s about finding a means of living and doing it. Happiness is a small step in living life. U need to find the flow these ppl work hard. It’s all about hard work and flowing
The swave charisma flowing through Curt is beyond his years.
When the lady with the crocodile started hitting on you I stated dying😂
You never know if you don't shoot your shot

"This and then me". 😳😜
@@klass_1221 lmaoo
@@Knockanl1wj your experience huh😂
Your videos are fascinating windows that are not available to very many people , raw as raw gets and unmatched in that .
Best content on TH-cam by a long shot!
Hey 👋 Kurt , Really enjoy watching your vids. Interesting great 👍🏻 places great scenery. Not just the same old boring tourist destinations. Well done keep vids coming, I will keep watching. ✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Stay safe Dude
I spent time in Cusco and Iquitos 20 years ago when they were removing their president Fujimori back in 2000-2001. Watched the street riots happening in Lima while at a cafe in Cusco. Iquitos was by far my favorite place once we took a boat ride up river to a camp in the jungle! I agree with the praise of Cristal. I also learned the heaven that is ceviche and pisco sours.
Dude u r just crazy for visiting all these places i’ve never been and i’m from Peru 😂, i love it!!Also support all ur videos u r doing here, this channel is SO underrated.
The tabacco is Mapacho it is green taback and contains up to 14 times more nicotine than normal tabacco.
It is right from the field with normal no contact to big industry.
And a lot more spirit ;)
The shamans uses it a lot
kurt doesnt have time to react, he's to busy smoking cigars now
Kurt gets to know the people and goes to places most people would avoid! A true Adventurist at heart with great friendly communication skills!
Kurt for breakfast, alcohol and cigar... new style, new diet...
"I love this place is madness" Lol
Thank you for inspiring people to go to Perú. 😉
Been waiting for this. Loving the Peru content bro
Cheers!
Kurt is a really sincere human being, not acts as if he is sincere like other people do..
so, he always stays safe and has fun by his sincerity.
Your videos are awesome, please keep filming your adventures. Thank you
Amazing how much motorized transports there are in the Amazon part of Peru.
And seems like he was in a non laborable day, in normal week day it is madness
En la selva más que todo es difícil el acceso como en Loreto, donde solo se podía entrar mediante barco y llevar carros y demás cosas resulta muy costoso
Lo mejor de ti amigo es tuu sencilles. Comes en lugares donde c ome la gente comun y corriente..buenos tus videos.
Puerto Rico would love to have you! Enjoy Peru! 💫
I’m an American who lived in Peru for two years. One of the least talked about places you must visit is Mankora. P.s love your videos brings back memories.
ahhhh an authentic backwood. youre living your best life, mate. wish i could be there
The sexy lady could care less, the alligator lady was like who’s this bilingual Thor walking around my Asgard
Lmaoooo
I spit my drink out LMAOOOOO
Comment of the year 😂💯💯
She said “you can it and you can eat me” lol she was flirting with him lol
When she was talking to him I was cracking up!!! It’s a typical flirting thing to say you’re going to eat someone or you want to eat them whole 🤣 she was going hard lmaoo
When he stops uploading is when his camera finally gets stolen 😂
Every time he posts a video I am like oh looks like Kurt is still alive, hooray!😂
I think no one's dare to rob him bcoz he's too big guy 😂
@@romsawyer2694 He's a big, handsome guy with an attractive accent. That's mainly why. The size is most likely what helps him tho.
@@rdEye-nu9wg Yeah dude I don't think robbers give a fuck about his looks lol
@@Sebraca That's true lmao. It's about size and how you carry yourself.
15:07 situational awareness on point! gotta always be looking at who's there when you're by yourself
You can also see him later at 19:21, those interactions he has have saved him multiple times!
@@Killamovz That's a different guy with a different haircut and shirt.
7:52 Kurt letting out his inner South African spirit
HAHAHAH
LMAOOOO 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
Did he say your fucking mother? If so South African and Dutch are way too similar😂
I loved that too lol
😂😂😂
Your content is so amazing man, Im also a solo full time traveler but I work for a tech startup so i dont adventure as much (since i need to log in daily and have stable internet). I spent 9 months in Peru and loved the place. Now in Costa Rica but headed to Ecuador tomorrow for a couple months!
