- I couldn't stay for any longer in Caracas and therefore I had to leave the city as soon as possible.

I am german and it is so funny and weird seeing this guy on the motorbike in the middle of nowhere speaking german without any accent!
Man! Hahaha a guy who was born in Venezuela and has lived here all his life hajha
Haha yeah it's so strange, it really feels like Germany as well in Colonia Tovar. Unfortunately I can only speak a couple of words in German (didn't use my German for years)
Lots of venezuelans can actually speak natural italian or portuguese with an accent from Portugal (not brasilian) or some other language due to migrations during the mid XXth Century. There is an article in wkp about the various groups in the past, migrations 👉to👈 oil rich Venezuela, similar to the US, Brasil or Argentina but in a much smaller scale. Hungarian, rumanian, german, chinese, arab, etc. I even met a family where the guy had italian descend and the woman was spanish descend, their daughter was always spoken in both italian and spanish by each parent and then going to an only english school, she was fluent in 3 languages. In remote areas also some people can speak both their tribal language and Spanish.
It's not a widespread phenomena of course but some can, its a very personal issue at homes not out in the open street which is always in Spanish so you would never think such person can actually speak another language in a natural way. My sister for example can actually speak both English and Spanish naturally as she was raised overseas for many years.
Another interesting issue is the times of the "Klein Venedig" ("of the Welsers"; bankers from Augsburg) a very early chapter of our colonial History, the first germans, swiss, polish and belgian groups (maybe from other central european countries too) to set foot on the american mainland, in order to work as miners, early XVI Century, at a time when the portuguese where still exploring lands which soon became Brasil and the Spanish where just arriving in Cuzco and the River Plate estuary.
The "Klein Venedig" only lasted a few decades though as there were many complaints from both locals and the european miners + poor results due to mismanagement. As a result, the King of Spain did not renew the leased colony contract to the Welsers. Cities like Coro or Maracaibo even had names such as New Augsburg or New Nuremberg. A different chapter all together from Colonia Tovar origins which came about much later.
A curiosity, which does not happen very much in other latinamerican countries is the venezuelan popular liking for central european style flavours: locally made maltzgetränke: malta, which btwy little by little is becoming more popular in other countries in latin america where is made locally too, locally made polish style sausages for street hot dogs, local tartar sauce, locally made münster cheese (arriving in Venezuela via the US), imported dutch cheese by container loads during previous decades; a bit weird for a tropical caribbean country, maybe a 0.000000000000001% dna from the klein venedig times 😄 Such bud tastes and as to why have never been researched, is just a personal observation. The per capita cosumption of local maltzgetränķe is probably even higher than in Germany itself as it is consumed by both young and adults quite often. 🤠👍
And the most of the owners of the places there are german but maybe tley leave the country or maybe u have to know someone there in the Colonia Tovar to know the real germans.
Este men está loco para andar recorriendo países en bicicleta😂😂😂
Mas que todo tiene una leche!
This is so fun to watch, hope to have you back in Venezuela in the future my friend!
I'm still here :)
Mi hermano, tu canal crecería mucho si colocas subtítulos en español latino, mucha gente hispana estaría encantada de ver tus videos si al menos pudiéramos entender lo que dices. Saludos desde 🇻🇪💙
Edit. Ya encontre ponerlo es español 😂😂 buen video
Puedes colocar el traductor amigo y no es tan exacta,pero ayuda mucho...de hecho esta funcionando y por eso te estoy diciendo.
LMFAO 😂
That's brave. Cycling through Venezuela. I don't think there are many gringos who dare to do that. I've been watching all your great videos about Venezuela. Your Spanish got better and better from video to video. This gives me hope for my stay in Venezuela.
He wouldnt be considered a "gringo", in Venezuela the term only applies for usans, not even canadians, we call canadians "canadienses". Maybe is different in other countries but is not normal in Venezuela to use the term in a wider sense. He looks venezuelan too. In the past a mister from Europe would be called "musiú" deriving from the french word, but it normally applies to middle aged guys and older, not young people, we would call them using their country of origing. Like he would be a "holandes" not "gringo". 🤠👍
@@tamanako2507 This is then different to other countries, where the term gringo is used more generally.
Thanks for your positive comment! I'm trying to show all my adventures and I'm glad to hear you like it so far. Hopefully I will be fluent in Spanish some day, I'm trying to improve it day by day. 🙏
@@uwekastl2945 As far I know only in Brazil they call gringo all foreigners, in most LATAM countries gringo are called really only USA tourists
You have really a innaccurate perception of how things are in venezuela for real. this is a very diverse country in term of etnicity. Also being a "gringo" is not a sinonymous of "attack him" its all the opposite by the way. Its a country of inmigrants and here they are very open to foreigners.
I appreciate your courage & confidence brother !! May Almighty bless you !
Roger you have to go to Colonia Tovar during the weekends, you have more activities on weekends.
That place looks interesting to cycle. It's especially hard to climb a mountain on bicycle, but it gives some good muscles. We need to cycle more as a population for better environment. Thanks for sharing this video.
It must be so tough biking in the mountains. You must be in really great shape. I'm so glad that so many kind people help you along the way.
It's really though.. I'm not in a perfect shape but I will get more in shape on my way to Chile. The people here are extremely friendly and helpful and I'm happy I can show this side of Venezuela ❤️
Welcome my brother
I've been watching your content since the one where that couple tried to prank you. It got randomly recommended in my YT home page and I'm so glad it did, because all your videos here has been quite a journey for me.
It's really nice to see my country from a foreign perspective, I hope you had a great time here, I know it's not the most luxurious country but we try to be kind, happy and helpful people 🙂.
I really hope to see you again around here, and if you do, and feel like going on a fishing trip, I'd be happy to show you some good spots (and learn more about our culture outside the city 🙂).
See you soon, mate. Best of luck on your travel ✌
Thanks for your kind words and I'm happy that you are following my journey
You are a crazy boy😅. The Bikecicling its very 🎉. Be careful. Is No easy my country however is a nice place for looking adventure😅
dudeee... was really hoping to see you in Barquisimeto!!! totally missed out~! Anyway, super cool that you managed to come and visit!!! I've cycled to and from Caracas a couple of times through the panam highway ...Let me tell you, that mountain pass up to Colonia Tovar is a tough one!! Have fun mate!!!
Gyt Video bravo , VEVEZUELA BEST !
Thank you so much. From my grateful heart to show my beauty to those Venezuelans abroad that for now we cannot return but I miss my family, my friendly people, beautiful landscapes and the culture above all the food, the beaches and the mountains.
Hopefully one day you can return, it's amazing here. Where do you live right now and why can't you return?
@@XploreWithRoger Thank u pana , I hope you're well. I have been living in Texas, USA for 5 years and due to my current status is pending asylum, I cannot leave the USA. But if my God gives me life in good health and approves my asylum one day I will visit my beautiful country Venezuela. God always take care of you and thank you for spreading to the world how beautiful my country is. I hope you continue to enjoy my beautiful and chevere( cool) country.
Did you make your own arepas? wtf? HAHAHAHAAHAHA I love it.
Haha yeah but now I improved a lot, eating to much arepas hahah
Muy buenos tus videos. Anímate a venir a Puerto La Cruz. Oriente del pais
Exelent 👍🙌❤️🇻🇪
Bravo 😎
Take care brother 👌
Jejeje cocinando arepa😅😅... Que orgullo
Nice video! An advise while preparing arepas: try to make them thinner so that you can benefit more from the corn flour package: it lasts longer.
Thanks for the consejo!
Wtf thats crazy pls be careful, im hooked watching ur videos about my country, have fun
I'm happy you're watching the videos and to be honest it feels quite safe here.
13:15 ¿Chile?😳 thats crazy 😂 , 😄👍 well he really said something like that's a lot of guts 😄 yes, thats long journey indeed 🤠👍 I looked it up, is about 6 th. kms; for a dutch it would be like from Amsterdam to the border of Mongolia or Karachi, certainly a pretty good challenge 🚴♂️🤠👍
Haha it's crazy but it's good to do some crazy things in life
@@XploreWithRoger oh yes!, it's living the life adventure at its full 🚴♂️👏🤠👍 looking back at old age no regrets.
Those arepas look lekker! I had the chance to host at my place 2 French cyclist that made kinda the same trip in the oposite direction! Buen Viaje and enjoy!
Oh that's cool man! Thanks for watching!
Btwy, I just remembered, one of the most popular cheses during bonanza years was an imported one from holland, people would carve a lid and take the little cheese balls out little by lttle during the following days but making sure to leave a wall, once it was like a bowl people would fill it up with a stew or similar, put it in the oven and the cheese would melt, delicious 🤤 still the cheese can be found at some supermarkets in Margarita Island. It had a red wrapping, it was one of my favourites 🧀🤠👍
Cuidado señor! Disfruta!
I've enjoyed watching your videos, I've been in the US most of my life but Im from Merida Venezuela, I remember it being pretty cool there, did you get a chance to visit Merida?
I'm heading to Merida and everyone is telling me it's so beautiful there
Awesome! You will love it I know there's a zoo there, and you can ride the cable cart up to the peak of the mountains. Are you going to make a video on it?
That's cool, I will make a video there!
cuando vas a barquisimeto(lara)? es una ciudad con mucha historia y es preciosa
Ahora estoy en Barquisimeto :)
👏👏👏👏🇻🇪🇻🇪🇻🇪
When I heard that you were biking to El Junquito, I said to myself: This guy is either crazy or 100% on shape .
I'm not really in shape..😂
Kan ik hier zelfstandig veilig naar toe? Wat was jouw ervaring? Leuke video's!!!
Bedankt dat je mij volgt! In de toekomst zal ik een video maken met praktische informatie over waar je aan moet denken als je naar Venezuela wil komen.
Veo que no lo orientaron bien en la colonia tovsr,
lakers, tommy hilfiger, adidas haha those people dress better than me HAHA
Hey man! Thanks a lot for visiting my hometown it's such a pleasure having you ❤ I live in the US now... I miss Venezuela so much. Your videos made me feel like home.
Hey man! That's good to hear, I am really enjoying my stay in your country

what is the situation in Caracas? Is it dangerous or can you visit it? I have been to many countries Nicaragua Colombia Cuba Dominican but never Venezuela. Is it very dangerous?
Soon I will make a video in which I explain more about this
Colombia es el país mas violento del planeta
Hola, que estés bien.
Pero no dejes quemar las arepas 😅
Estoy aprendiendo para cocinar arepas..😂
Como largo aprendas espanyol porque me no entendo pero puedo decir algo en espanyol como puedo pruebo escuchar este idioma
El Sr. Santos es de aquel lado del Puente.!!!!!
hello can you tell me the place or met this german old man ?
It's on the way to Colonia Tovar from El Junquito. In Colonia Tovar you will find a lot of people who speak German like him.
Te gustó Venezuela?
Me gusta mucho Venezuela!
Resilient and adventurous man!
why did you have to leave ???
I couldn't stay for any longer because of my visa and I need a lot of time to get to Colombia..
@@XploreWithRoger Ah ok that's good then ! I though someone were looking for you with bad intention! ahah! What camera do you use by the way ???
Y el vídeo de Morrocoy?
@@XploreWithRoger you can be 90 days in Venezuela and later you can exit to Colombia and enter again for more 90 days or even you can prolong your stay inside of Venezuela too if you want...
la colonia Tovar
Hace mejor las arepas que muchas venezolanas jajajajaja
Gracias jaja
Why would you do this in Venezuela? So many things that could go wrong. No need. You’re risking your life kid. Good luck.
Because it's a beautiful place :)
increible lo tóxico. Cada quien disfruta como quiere, punto.
Arriesgó la vida en Colombia el país mas violento del planeta 😢
Many things could go wrong in Colombia, Peru or Argentina and many travellers go anyway.

Thanks for the advice 😅
Mamawebo estas pagando
