Thank you for watching and let's go deep into this gigantic country! 🇧🇷 Let me know your thoughts in the comments section. Nick
Good morning nick, love your videos mate, you make us kiwis proud with the awesome work you do :) Stay safe and I hope to have a beer with you one day back home.
It's gonna be GREAT 👍🏻🌞🌞🌞
Thank you guys!
There's something funky with the camera, keeps flicking... I hope you manage to handle that for the next episodes :/
Some beautiful tarantulas in Brazil.
That homeless guy speaks better english than most people I know.
And he was really drunk. He probably speaks better when he is sober.
pensei exatamente o mesmo. Poderia perfeitamente trabalhar em um hotel ou algo assim.
@@0lopes disse que tá morando ali a mais ou menos um ano, vai ver trabalhava e com a pandemia foi mandado embora... aluguel é isso, acabou o dinheiro, rua.
They did ask him how he learned English but he never answered, assuming that got edited out. Really curious to see what his answer was.
@@0lopes Ou ainda ser pastor :) e o cara é bem carismático.
That homeless guy was so nice despite being intoxicated. I wish him a better life.
sadly there's a lot of people like him here at SP
@@LAZARO373 I've seen more in San Francisco.
@@lfsg689 stfu it isnt a competition
@@lfsg689 40.000 people is THE ESTIMATE amount of homeless people living in São Paulo.
@@brunogozzi8539 30.000 is the estimate amount of homeless people in San Francisco, THAT'S 14 TIMES SMALLER THAN SÃO PAULO.
That homeless guy broke my heart. Seemed a real talented guy wasted on the streets. He spoke good English and seemed like a real genuine guy. Hope the Jesus he said he loves can do miracles for him!
You probably didn't notice but he is suffering from some kind of mental health issue. It is very clear when he speaks Portuguese. People with that profile (logistics degree, speaks other languages) are VERY valued in the market job and hard to find. He didn't want to talk about it, but it seems like something really bad happened and it broke him.
@@andresamartins26 Yes i thought so too. It seems like somethings bad happened so he turned to alcohol. :(
@@andresamartins26 Yeah, it is upsetting, but that's what I assumed. Sad, sad, sad.
come on jesus put him there and everyone else for a reason
He said he has been homeless for a year.
Maybe he got fired due to the lockdowns (the pandemic) and couldn't pay rent.
I miss SP. been 7 years since I last was there. After the pandemic I'll spend a nice week in Jardim
🙌🏼
@kaysha, "On va gâter le coin" in S.P for sure 😹
"My future is now." Idk but it's kinda deep.
it's kind of no future, but exactly the present
Future is an illusion, now is all there is
Brazilians are know for being short termed....its very anoying
There is no moment like right now.
@@juriaanoussoren we are short termed in what
Brazil is by far one of the most fascinating countries in the world, the diversity is an aspect that cannot be explained in a lifetime.
I must say the beauty of Brazil, truly lies outside of the cities.
Away from the crime, extreme poverty and pollution.
Super excited to see how this series develops.
So much to see and hope to share so much with you, thanks for watching!
wow.

I was in Brazil at the exact same time as him. My wife is Brazilian and we visit her family. I was shocked at the Sao Paolo episode. He basically showed noting of that city. Its a massive city and there are so many cool neighborhoods and so many things to see but he never covered it. I know there is only so much time for the video but Sao Paolo was NOT done justice. He said he felt tense in the downtown area in front of the church and I literally laughed when he said that. I was there, its NOT tense. Its downtown, right next to popular shopping districts, full of people. During my trip I also visited Bahia, Rio and Salvador and in ALL instances I realized that everything I was told about Brazil in the media has been overblown. Its much more developed and MUCH MUCH safer than I expected (especially Sao Paolo). A lot of his sentiments reinforce those negative views about danger and crime.
same. I was impressed by the train system and the museums. I think it's pretty rude to photograph or record someone asking for money on the street as well.
I definetely don't trust him. I bet there's politics behind him. I wouldn't be surprised if I found that he works for the CIA or something like that. He only goes to countries of "interest" and he doesn't seem to be just learning and enjoying like other travellers.

I do understand that we are facing dark times in Brazil and its not the best moment to be there, but Paulista as myself, i think there's too much of the dark side of the city in the viddo. Im aware about the problems, but trying to think as a foreigner, i would never step my feet in this city if I accidentally watched this video.
This city is better than this and has more to offer and spread than tents and drug addictives.
As a fellow Brazilian I agree with you very much, as bad the situation is there in Brazil the people still find ways to celebrate and be happy, that's the Brazil I know. No matter how bad the situation is, there's always something good in the world and there's always a way to happy there. I miss Brazil deeply, take care💞
It scared me to bones.
I’m suppose to visit soon
@@izzylife1 as I mentioned, dont take it as benchmark.
I just made a comment about this. He only showed the 1% poorer and the 1% richer, like if the other 98% of us didn't even exist.
@@izzylife1 He only showed the 1% poorer and the 1% richer, completely ignoring the other 98% of us. It is very likely that you won't see any of those places that he went to. I live in a inner city and I always travel to São Paulo. I never see those peoples in tents or using drugs on the street. In fact, I'm 33 yo and I have never seen a pot cigarette.
I’ve traveled all over Brazil for two months! São Paulo will always have a special place in my heart, enjoy and stay safe!
Beautiful!
Where did you travel from, was it Europe?
just don't walk alone :3
This is a series I'm excited about. Sao Paulo is probably the most unique place I've ever been. Cant quite explain why. Great choice of where to go next.
Thank you, Brazil has blown my mind so far!
LOVE
@@IndigoTraveller If you need a contact at the south of Brazil let me know.
@@IndigoTraveller Plz come again in Bangladesh.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@IndigoTraveller you only showed the ugly and poor side of Brazil, disgust you now.
I can understand how it may feel intimidating as a foreigner that is presumed to have money around a bunch of homeless people in a country that is considered violent, however that homeless man really touched my heart. It is clear that he is a lovely guy that is just having a difficult time and it was so obvious that you made his day just by showing an interest in his life. I wish him a better life and want to thank you for making this video, and giving me something entertaining and informative to watch during lockdown. Support from England, UK 🇬🇧
You cannot complain about being intimidated if you deliberately go to their city and area
But of a stupid post don't you think
Why white gringos are fascinated with favelas? I think is because it sells more views, but Sampa deserves a better reputation, go to Vila Madalena, rua augusta etc and people will see how amazing Sampa is
He shows a bigger view of nations itself in places not a lot of people in developed nations would visit. As seen in Venezuela, Lebanon, Pakistan, Somaliland. I think it’s been a while since he visited a country that’s an economic hub.
I’m white and I’m thinking the same thing you are !!! He made me not want to go to Brazil. I think Brazil looks like a beautiful country. Where should I go ?
@@mojojojo1095 anywhere, Rio and Sao Paulo are good starts. Just use the same precautions like being in Mexico city for example.
You should check all his videos. He is not doing it for the views. He shows the reality of the people in the places he visits. He is not your regular travel vlogger. I highly recommend you to check out his content.
@@jairoramirez7848 yes I saw some of those. BUt I lived in Brazil for 3 years and he’s only showing one side of the coin here
Sao Paulo looks a lot like Los Angeles. Japanese neighborhood is like mini Little Tokyo. Cracklandia is like mini Skid Row but better. And the mansion neighborhood is like Beverly Hills. The Sao Paulo metropolitan/ built up urban area (94 miles from the city center) is larger than both Mexico City and New York City
actually são paulo is more like new york, Rio de janeiro is the los angeles of Brazil
I don't why foreigners say that Crackland is like Skidrow. This is the third world. On the third world shit gets heavy
How is it like a small version of little tokyo? lol brazil has the highest population outside of japan, and the majority live within Liberdade. It is definitely bigger
@@erics2954 He is not saying which one is bigger, he is just saying how it resembles Los Angeles in some aspects, it's not a competition, relax.
Actually São Paulo city, without the motropolitan area is still bigger than New York and Mexico City in area and population (considering only the city of NY and MXC too).
Eu sou do interior do estado,vou pra capital direto nunca fui assaltado, há 2 anos viajando pela Europa,fui assaltado 2 vezes num prazo de 4 dias!

@@gilhermeprado8592 sim, pq tem um governo só para todo o país. Na Europa, cada país tem o próprio governo e esse pode ser completamente diferente de outro. Por exemplo, se comparar os governos da Itália e da Suécia, é uma diferença como dia e noite.
São Paulo is the most underrated city worldwide. It's far more exciting, unique and wilder than New York, London or Berlin and despite some sketchy areas it is actually safe. Live here for a decade now and couldn't be happier.

São Paulo is such a unique city, each region of the city looks like a different city, extremely diverse and cultural, amazing place!
Brazil is a beautiful and mysterious place. We almost never hear or see anything about it up here in the USA for some reason, even though Brazil is like our southern cousin. This is going to be a fascinating series!
I hear alot about it. But it's always the same stereotypical things such as, Samba, Favelas ect.
@Machida ele falou que ele sempre escuta são apenas os mesmos estereótipos do país, ele não tá ofendendo ninguém
@@bulleranse8323 The media only come here in Brazil to show tragedies, samba, football and favelas. And they probably travel here on airplanes made in Brazil to show the country's poverty. What irony hahah
Yup, I also found Brazil to be very Americana. Its crazy... they are very similar to us but with a very bad Government and not so good economy. Otherwise, the people are amazing. Very sweet and honest and loving. 🤷🏻♂️. God Bless Brasiilll.🙏

Love how you interact with the people, going beyond just tourist attractions. For me, that’s what traveling is about: The local People and their Lives. 💕
Totally, always love meeting the locals!
@@IndigoTraveller You should have ventured out in the crack neighborhood. I've been there a few times and it's always been peaceful. I also think you should have had sb else with more insightful to accompany you.

@@galeguim they are locals, just like us.
@@joaoguilhermejarochinskima1820 you know what i meant, n me venha com essa não
I'm guessing he chose to focus on the "bad" and "dramatic" because adventure sells well. São Paulo metropolitan region has 21 million people and is one of the most diverse cities in South America, yet crack addiction is what is at display during most of this 24-minute long video. I am Brazilian and I live in Paris and there are similar issues concerning crack addiction here (and also in Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, Chicago, etc), but you can never expect a general first video of these cities with such a negative perspective or so focused on similar problematics.
Yes, very depressing and negative. I think he wanted to do something different but failed in trying.
O conteúdo dele é ótimo. Ele tá mostrando o que 80% da população vê e vive diariamente. Todo lugar no mundo tem pobreza, violência e drogas. Todo mundo é livre pra gravar e mostrar o que quiser. Ele optou por fazer isso, não só no Brasil, mas em outros países. Se a realidade envergonha vocês, façam o mesmo conteúdo em Paris, Chicago ou Londres, mostrem o lado negativo e sintam se vingados. :)
@@thefelipevaldes 80% da população vive em favelas, são viciados em drogas e extremamente pobres? loucura total...
@@frankwilk5182 não, 80% da população vê, vive, frequenta e passa por lugares como esses todos os dias, alguns desses vivem em favelas, outros são viciados, outros extremamente pobres, etc. Loucura total né? Mas é o nosso Brasil. 🇧🇷

@@luanribeiro9067 Mano, deixa o cara ir pra onde quiser. Tu quer proibir ele de ir na favela agora? Isso soa mó autoritário.

Diego's face while you talk to the homeless dood says it all: "let's gtfo here"
hahaha totally
Lol Nick picks up strays hahhaa
Well, the homeless dude is really funny and well, he speak english... and this is the first time that i see one that actually do this!
Soyboy. The guy wouldnt do anything to him.
I'm a Dutch living in Sao Paulo for the last 14 years and Diego's face is threefold like many other's.
1) Yes, praça da Sé (Sé square) isn't the safest place to hang around, so it makes you to be on your guard at any moment !!
2) The homeless approach you 24/7/365 asking for money, food, booze which at some point becomes very annoying !!
3) Witnessing all this misery consciously in a city (or state for that matter) which earns 51% of the Brazilian GDP and has so much potential makes you feel ashamed !!
Brazil is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been and they are awesome people but the country has a great lack of infrastructure by any means of the word !!
Nevertheless, I don't regret one minute of my last 14 years here because besides all the negative things and lack of infrastructure the country has a great lot to offer !!
I hope Nick will get that sort of love-hate (read hate as the feeling that it could and should be so much better) feeling across in his series of videos !!
Good job so far Nick, keep it up !!
Looking forward to your next video and I hope you'll manage to get your guide through the Favela which will give you a good insight of a city within a city !!
Keep a low profile and treat the people inside with respect and you'll be safe !!
Reminds me of Los Angeles.
Both cities,SP and LA, have a lot of misery.

@@mubarak3173 I've looked everywhere, can't find that on the map. What video game is that from?
Thats just a small part of São Paulo too
I agree, also the guy speaking forgot to mention that São Paulo is the safest state in Brazil... I grew up in this city and never had anything stolen or a bad experience, feel like it's been way overblown... also nice job promoting psytrance in SP, there have been some good raves here
Yes!!! Could not agree more.
The only city I've ever been robbed in was Sao Paulo (20 years ago). It was not a bad experience, the guy was kind of a gentleman robber. He was open for negotiation for how much I should give in order him to refrain from violence. We agreed on 50 Reals (around 40 US dollars back then). Nobody got hurt. Proper etiquette is important to success, no matter what one’s line of work.
Hahaha always love your comments, Helsinkipop. Keep them coming. Sounds great to have met a gentleman robber, sounds like a top guy. Hope you are doing well and doing some extreme winter camping in Finland right now, eating some war food! Nick
Lol keyed up
weird, but it really happens often
I’ve been to Brasil at least a dozen times and traveled a lot in many parts of the world. The only incidences were my wallet stolen in Naples and my camera stolen in Düsseldorf. Nothing in Brasil! (which is not to say it doesn’t happen in Brazil.)
@@christiansantos4863 Christian, I remember a local woman talking about this 20 years ago. Gentleman robbers are simpatico...
Something I love about Brazil is the fact that we received millions of immigrants from all over the world, we have tha largest, japanese, italian, lebanese and portuguese diasporas and the second largest german, spanish and from many eastern european countries, those were people fleeing poverty, political or religious persecution, people looking for freedom and a place to start over, nowadays we see each other simply as brazilians. We may have a lot of problems, but hate is not one of them.
And thy are full of themselves
@@hiphipjorge5755 Argentina is the first
Rodrigo pereira hi 👋
You live in a fairytale
forgot to mention the largest slave trade in the west, the largest african diaspora
Sao Paulo is awesome! I actually loved the downtown area. There are so many architectural gems in that area, lots of lovely parks, good public transit options and very pedestrian-friendly streets. It surely feels a bit sketchy with all the junkies around, but the potential is huge.
It is very noticeable your commitment to reinforce and take advantage of negative stereotypes in Brazil (it has become a trend among travel youtubers).
Hi there! I lived in SP for 6 yrs whilst teaching English. Used to pass through those 'bad' areas all the time (and the good areas). Never experienced a single problem. It's not nearly as dangerous as people think. Just don't show off with expensive jewellery and you'll be fine. 'Paulistanos' are incredibly friendly and polite.
e bem o lance de ' aumenta mas nao inventa '
Yeah. Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to go longer that 2 weeks without being mugged in Brazil.
Yeah, people show images of crackolandia (literally crack land in English) and act surprised they find drugs and violence. If you dont put yourself in places worldly know as dangerous (rocinha, crackolandia) you will be as fine as NY or LA, its like me going to LA, entering skid row and being like :0 “omg drugs and violence how would i have known it”
@@PedroHenrique-nc3em that area where he interviewed the homeless guy was in the centre of the city in front of a massive tourist attraction (cathedral) - he wasn't walking around some out-of-the-way slum district

Awesome documentary Nick! Excited for the Brazil series. Brazil is home to more Lebanese than Lebanon itself. Crazy! Sending love from Beirut❤️🇱🇧
🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧
Our former president was Lebanese, Michel Temer. The former mayor of São Paulo, Fernando Haddad also
I grew up with so many Lebanese friends... going to their houses, always lots of food and nice times. Love 🇱🇧
Right. What I don't understand is why the Libanese didn't go to France or Quebec since they have strong ties with these countries. Something with the Japanese, Germans and others. But anyways .... Brazil is so bad, isn't?
@@jeunejaegerx3458 how do people from ur country consider brazil their home then their actual home
As a second generation Japanese Canadian, Sao Paulo fascinates me because my dad was considering immigrating there when we left Japan in the early 70s. I travel quite often there now for work and just visited Liberdade for the first time on my last trip. I love the culture, the people, the cuisine, as I am slowly becoming acquainted with the city. 👍
See, next time I travel to Amsterdam I'll make a video showing the minors in The Red District, the open use of drugs in the streets and the prejudice against Muslims and call it "The REAL Netherlands", because, really, that's what you've just made here. São Paulo is a great city, full of opportunities and great experiences to be lived, and most of the video is spent on the Cracolândia, which is like, two, three streets, or in some areas where no one goes, only those who work there. There are many no-go areas in LA, NY, San Francisco or Miami, but, you know, they're not the REAL US. Only Cracolândia is the REAL Brazil, because y'know, how could it be different ~condescending tone~ lol.

I understand the purpose of the video, that is showing the extremes... But these extremes are a small percentage of the city. If you really wanted to show the "real" Sao Paulo, outside the touristic spots, the right thing to do would be to go to any of the MANY middle-class neighborhoods. Some examples of very interesting, not touristic, middle-class neighborhoods: Perdizes, Santana, Vila Mariana, Ipiranga, Belem, Mooca, Tatuape, Bela Vista, Moema, Butanta...
I love Belem, Moóca, and Tatuapé
Quem vive no início da zona leste tá benzão.

Damn i've been living in sp for the past 4 years and i never got so scared of the city as seeing the video. I understand what you're doing and i respect your work but we are kinda tired of being portraited as the favela of the world. You should go to a low middle class neighbohood 50% of brazilians are low middle class we call "classe C" i guess would be a better representation

@@WELSHDESI Hi. You can see this in here infograficos.estadao.com.br/cidades/criminalidade-bairro-a-bairro/ . Red are the most dangerous and white the least. Until the orange ones (from 101-150) are pretty good.
Yea man. This video did not make me want to visit Brazil anymore. Is this guy promoting fear ? Show more of the good side of Brazil.
Indeed. What is the fascination with Favelas? Sampa is amazing
Mano, a favela virou ponto turístico do Brasil, infelizmente (principalmente no RJ). Culpa da mídia. A maior parte das favelas não possuem nem Sanemamento básico, e a mídia usa o modelo de favela (Rocinha) como se fosse um orgulho pro país.

I was in Sao Paolo and Riofor few days . The feelings: intense, intrigued, scared, in love with both cities ......Without all the drugs and criminals , Rio is one of the most magical cities on earth!!! I would love to be there again and again ❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤........
I was there in 2011-2012 for 3 months. I was not afraid in Sao Paolo. My female friend forgot to tell me that it was dangerous. :D
I was even walking at night alone with all of my money! Nothing happened!!!
Rio in the 20s, 40s, 60s was even more beautiful.

When the man wanted to be interviewed, I knew he would ask for money afterwards. When he brought up his friend, I knew he wanted to get as many of his friends involved as possible, so they all could get money. The problem is, you can't give them money. They deserve it, because they gave the interview, so a few bucks. The problem is, then all these homeless people know you are willing to give them money. Then would all go after you ☹️. It could get violent, because a lot of these people are in poor conditions and some of them on the influence of alcohol/drugs. Very smart to offer them some food. But I felt so sad for you guys 😕😕. It became intense
You're right it could have gotten ugly but there seems to be good at every level just like there is evil at every level. Probably a good idea to head out there with some food and water and maybe a handful of mini liquor bottles next time.
I miss the part where he asked for money. Can you time stamp it for me please.
He is indeed a very brave gringo!
He didn't ask for anything. Those people simple give up of their lives and don't care about everything. Is very bad to think of every people there being just someone trying to trick you.

Other than the safety concerns in major cities of the Brazil I have to appreciate the fact that the infrastructure does looks good with good roads footpaths tunnels and bridges and also when it comes to cleanliness of the majority of the streets and this where my country India lacks even after 74 years of independence we even don't have the proper smooth roads in our major cities or even basic Infrastructure like footpath or proper bus stations or bridges and the only thing that is on us is on the safety aspect other than that Brazilian cities are way ahead than the indian cities..
Indeed, infrastructure is incredible here in the big cities of brazil!
As a brazilian, I appreciate your comment! São Paulo does have an incredible infrastructure. Large avenues crossing the city on all sides and the subway system is amazing, probably better than the NYC's system. It's also constantly expanding and getting modernized. India is a country with a beautiful culture and a huge potential. I'm sure you'll eventually surpass all of these problems. Cheers!
Hello, Sanjay. In fact, Brazil in general has a very good infrastructure, although it can still improve, of course. But the country's major cities have excellent roads, viaducts, tunnels, subways (in at least 7 major capitals), shopping centers, good residential buildings, etc. I do not know India personally (it is a country that is in my plans), but from the images I saw here on the Indigo channel itself, Brazilian cities really look nothing like Indian ones, notably cleaning, hygiene. Even in the favelas, which are communities of very poor people, cleaning is done by the municipality. Obviously, something may happen here or there. In fact, our biggest problem in big cities is the lack of security and poverty, which has grown again with the pandemic and the unfortunate federal government that we have. I wish our countries more progress. Good luck.
Can't wait, I've always been intrigued by Brazil! Thanks for doing what you're doing, it's amazing we get to watch this for free on TH-cam. All the best from Germany, stay safe bro
Parabéns vc mostrou só as maravilhas de são Paulo seu guia e ótimo muito imparcial mesmo !!!!
Sim, cracolandia, que maravilha
@@solidao7311 pois é o cara só mostrou o lado ruim de são Paulo wtf kkkkkkk
This is outstanding, Nick! It's so informative and really tense at times
(hearing the carjack story). During a great deal of hardship, the people seem so inviting and kind and loving towards others. This stuff is really eye opening. Thank you for sharing and as always, be well and safe.
You'll need to go back ! So much more to see, I am sure. I look forward to a volume 2 of this. Take care.
I have a good school friend who lives in Sao Paulo and I had no idea it was so diverse there. I like how you talk to the local people and show us the good side and the rough side of places. But please stay safe! Hugs from Norway!
Thanks, Leeah! Much love :)
I have seen a great many videos on Sao Paulo. This is the first one I've seen that focused exclusively on the negative. To watch this video no one would ever want to visit there.
I live in Mexico City and it would irritate me if someone made a video like this about Mexico City. It feeds into the worst stereotypes. "Everything is unsafe" which I know is no more true of Sao Paulo than it is of Mexico City.
I imagine that people who live in Sao Paulo wouldn't care much for how their city is presented in this video.
He showed the same crackhead walking 10000 times
He always shows both side. It is a series, so just subscribe for the following up. E para de ser mimado, e chorão!
@@FabioTheGreat Chorando pelo que?
@@FabioTheGreat O vira lata batendo palma p gringo kkkkk
That's exactly how I felt! I just commented my opinion on that
Excellent stuff Nick! I've been to SP several times. Really feel for that guy you spoke with towards the end.
São Paulo é pra mim a mais icônicas das cidades brasileiras,ela é um pedacinho de cada canto desse país...
This guy should a few North American cities; won't require big drives to see disparity.
Shouldn’t him? Lol that’s something he’s not doing, North Americans would not put up with his bs neither show him so much love like the Brazilians did
Future L.A., CA
not far from it
Poor Americans (USA) are the richest poor people in the world. When I went to Panamá, I saw what extreme poverty looks like in some parts of the country. I imagine it is far worse in many cities in Brazil.
Glad you're visiting the country where I'm from! Looking forward to seeing the series
Very interesting and well-made episode. I always look forward to watch a new episode. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for showing my home city as it is! Excited for this Brazilian series.
Damn, I was impressed to see this come up on my feed. I'm also a New Zealander who has spent some time going around Brazil, and I learnt Portuguese.
I recognised about every neighbourhood in this video, but I'm probably a little wrong on some of them.
I almost went to Cracolândia by accident when going from a estação da luz to the mercadão. Should have gotten off at São Bento, but I learnt. I saw many places in SP and nearby, passing through the poor and rich areas such Faria Lima and Sítio São Francisco (Guarulhos).
There is massive contrast, especially between states. It's crazy to walk through Gramado, Salvador, Blumenau, Paraty, Foz do Iguaçu and to still be in the same country.
I'm curious to hear your opinion on the differences you notice state to state, even city to city.
Enjoy your trip.
Glad you meet Brazilian south, is another Brazil inside Brazil, generally tourists just go to São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro, you did a complete trip.
@@duka6915 Rio, Porto Alegre, Gramado, Canela, Foz do Iguaçu, Brasília, Salvador, Aracajú, Maceió, SP, Guarulhos, Paraty, Florianópolis, Blumenau.
Still more places to see though
@@v1n1c1u55anto5 yeah, it's one that's on my list for next time
Gramado doesn't seem to be a real city in Brazil, is almost like something straight from a fary tale. The contrast is HUGE.
@@efxnews4776 yeah, I woke up there and felt like I was in Germany or Austria.
Wake up in SP, Salvador etc and you feel a different vibe
Honestly, I dont think JR was that drunk! His Bombinha (bottle of liquor), was only about 25% gone! Some people just need a 2nd chance... God bless him!
Super work and presentation! Wow what an inside look at the city and the various stratification of citizens. JR met you and he knew he wanted to get off the street for a break!
Hey mate....your videos are super cool & content coverage is excellent...keep up the good work & keep rocking !!
São Paulo downtown used to be a nice place to visit until 10 years ago. Cracolândia was concentrated around Julio Preste's and Luz stations, so we knew where to avoid going. Now it's spread everywhere in downtown. Not easy to sort this situation up under the laws we have in Brazil.
Was so pleased you were going to Brazil. As usual the standard is of excellence in this documentary. You capture the culture, risks, architecture, contrasts. Keep it coming!!!
Thank you, Russell! Much appreciation :)
Nice way to show SP in all its faces. I’m from Rio, lived in SP for 4 years and I’m now living in Amsterdam but I miss São Paulo a lot, definitely my favorite city in the world.
Awesome video Nick! Thanks from Czech republic
I can see that Diego was not comfortable at all hanging out around the cathedral area.
It was a bit sketchy to be fair.
Because its really dangerous, me as local also dont like to go there
I was there a couple years ago, there are worse areas but the vibe here really is sketchy.
@@filipechm Hey, I'm from europe so I don't know how things are down there. Is brazil a safe country for tourists or is it dangerous? Heard that it has the highest murder rate or something as well. What are the chances of something happening to a foreigner? What places do you recommend to visit in south america that are safe like in europe at least.
@@ivvan497 most of the time in Brazil if you stick to the touristic places it is totally fine. But it's true that in bigger cities like Rio or São Paulo you must be aware of your surroundings and where you are, cause it can feel sketchy sometimes.
This is MEGA intense!! Diego is the perfect guide, always there in the background to step in when needed. JR the eloquent hustler. How can such an eloquent confident man end up homeless? I must really thank God for my blessings.
Los Angeles and Sao Paulo have many, many similarities with respect to violence, homelessness, and drug abuse.
I dont think so lol the cracolandia is like 3 or four streets in Los Angeles shit is much intense you have like 20 cracolandias there 😂
Se eu fosse estrangeiro nao iria por meus pês em sao paulo nem fudendo depois desse video,espero videos de sp mostrando coisas positivas tbm,esse video teve uma vibe tao pesada
Los Angles tem isso também (Até um americano comentou q parecr com LA)

I love how nick doesn’t just pretend he’s on holiday and everything is fine. He shows the good and the ugly 👍
Thank you! ❤️
In São Paulo he only showed the ugly
Except he didn't show any good.
@@andyz2987 he did show and when you talj about the gokd do you brazilian want him to show the rich side to feel better about brazil or what. the important is not how foreign feel about your country cause foreugn will talk shit about it the most important thing is who you brazilians feel and see your city let the foreign talk crap who care cause i'm sure that you brazilians know that all the crap they show and talk about brazil is not really true
@@rebeccam.7249 That's the way! Foreign people will always complain and put us down whenever they see the slightest opportunity. It's up to us to do a change for the better and actually care about our people, help the poor and vulnerable, rather than look up to gringos and be their lap dogs, trying to please all the time.
Great video. I've been Brazil 3 times. Love this country.. Can't wait to go back there. Love from South Africa
It is incredibly strange how people who come to Brazil love to visit Favelas. I think that is why when we go to talk to a foreigner, whether to talk, learn a culture or practice English, they ignore us or just talk about soccer, carnival or think that we are trying to go to their country as an immigrant ..
The media is that more does it, They like to come when there are tragedies
It is part of the country, I am not only covering favelas but a piece of many different things. Ignoring it isn't a good plan.
@@IndigoTraveller ONLY 5 PER CENT OF BRAZILIANS LIVE IN FAVELAS...WE ARE OVER 200 MILLION PEOPLE.YEAH YOU JUST REPLICATES THE STEREOTYPES NOT HELPING AT ALL.I NEVER BEEN TO ONE FAVELA IN MY LIFE.AND I'M BRAZILIAN.I'M NOT RICH EITHER.I' DON'T LIVE IN EXTREME POVERTY.I'M NOT A DRUG ADDICTED AS WELL.YOU ARE NOT DOING US ANY FAVOURS.VERY THE OPPOSITE.OVER 150 MILLION PEOPLE LIVE DECENT LIVES.THEY OWN THEIR OWN HOUSE IN BRAZIL.WORK.HAVE JOBS.THEY ARE ARE A WORKFORCE.

Índigo traveler Just enphasized old clichês of Brazil.
@@gersonmatos1251 no need to scream, man! The guy said he would show a bit of everything and he did. No favelas in this video and yet you rant over them all the time...
Travellers focus on what catches their eye for being unique in the place they are visiting. Unfortunately that's life, and as someone who has been to Sao Paulo many times it's the reality there: downtown isn't always safe, rich and poor areas are not far from each other, Ibirapuera is amazing (he could have shown the museums) and there are more homeless people than we would like. But it's all part of the city, part of the experience.
You can't just ignore it like the brazilian travellers going abroad and showing only the glamorous side of the places they visit because it will make them look good back home.
@@maeliandrade9919 I'm not screaming here....These travellers youtubers always show the same old thing.VERY BORING.Very superficial.AND YES THEY REPLICATE STEREOTYPES..it's a very shallow outlook of Brazil.And Sao Paulo is a tiny fraction of Brazil.I'm a not a big fan of this city to be fair.Scary place...
wow, sem dúvidas a pior propaganda possível pra uma já terrivelmente estigmatizada cidade! Espero que o amigo do gringo aí esteja orgulhoso do serviço prestado
Pois é, Rodrigo. O pior de tudo é ver o tanto de brasileiro que não entendeu que o objetivo do vídeo é cagar na imagem do Brasil, que é já ruim.
Certinho ele, centro de São Paulo e Cracolândia são lugares péssimos. Esse gringo ainda foi corajoso de andar com uma câmera na mao na praça da sé
mais fácil culpar o cara por mostrar a realidade do que aceitar que esse país é uma merda e as pessoas já se acostumaram com isso
@@richardnunes8559 as sinapses cerebrais extremamente comprometidas, não vou julgar pois você pode ter nascido assim
I'm new to the channel and one thing I can thank you for already is keeping your videos lists organized. I heard you mention the Brazil series and I had no trouble finding it each video thumbnail actually has "brazil" written on the video thumbnail so it's nice and easy to find thanks for that 👍
I’ve been interested in Brazil so I’m excited for this series and to see your take on it!
Thank you Jake!
Californian here....Brazil is amazing. I have many friends there in all states. I leaned Portuguese. I will soon marry a Brazilian woman. They are very American, just not as good economy as U.S. Love Brasil.
Nossa maior cidade da América com seus mais de 12 milhões de habitantes 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Your videos are very informative. Thanks for sharing. 👍
He actually speaks decent english. I pray for these people to find miracles in life. Thank you Indigo for your awesome work.
SP is an amazing city. Very vibrant, diverse, and full of opportunities and beautiful places. Why did you choose to show only homeless people?
This could also be shown in the streets of California and other places in the US...
Not sure what you meant with this video.
agreed.
Manda isso no insta dele. Lá ele responde
3:12 actually, Liberdade is a touristic "Asian" district. The districts where most japanese descendents live in the city are Vila Mariana, Saúde and Jabaquara.
Liberdade actualy is the district of the biggest chinese population. The districts of more japanese descendents are Vila Mariana, Saúde and Jabaquara (Principally Saúde)
Thank you for showing my country! I was born in Sao Paulo than moved to Santos when i was little. Keep up the good work!
Another great video. I've been to SÃO PAULO a few times and enjoy the city but realise there is another world there.
The tents remind me of where I live in the "Greatest Country in The World" where we let people live on the streets and treat them worse than dogs.
unfortunately São Paulo copied Los Angeles on this issue and it led to the very same problems. New York had a problem with crack in the 80's and their actions were way more effective.
@@rodrigopereira2694 it's a problem with employment and mental health, not crack
@@DrewBuckler You are exactly right, if it wasn't crack it'd be another drug. It's a public health and mental health issue
Yep, I live in California and there are tons of homeless.
You should watch the homeless series on TH-cam in America where you’ll learn majority of them in the US choose to live that way because they receive so much support. “Let them” live that way is ignorant.
If you go south, curitiba is really nice too. There is treze tilias, which has a tyrolean (Austrian) community, looks like the alps. Then you go to Blumenau, which was mostly founded by germans, few people still "act" german but there is german style bars and stuff there. Then you go even further and into the vale dos vinhedos and you think you are in the middle of Italy, with huge vineyards and everything. Brazil is amazing.
It's striking the contract in the same city, I congratulate you for a great video!
Hey, Nick. Awesome job with this one. I've been watching you for over a year now. I love how you contrast the cities you go to. You're always focused on giving us a fair representation of the city, showing the good along with the bad. I see you not only as a travel vlogger, but more of like a journalist, in a way. I think it'd be amazing if you started putting together pieces of your travels into a big documentary and then maybe releasing it for money on your website, or something. I know we'd all love to compensate you for it. Think about it. You really are a God, Nick..thank you for all you do. We really love you. Can't wait til you hit 1m subs, bro!! I want to, once again, recommend a journey for you. Djibouti, is in the horn of Africa. It's an interesting place because many, many countries have put military bases there because of it's strategic location in Africa. I think it'd be interesting for you to document the social and economic inspiration these countries military bases have had there. Honestly, I think there's more military bases there, than any country in the world!! Anyway, thank again for all you do. I really have been waiting for you to head to AFRICA for so long! Think about it, yea? Peace.
