Do you have some questions that you would like answered about my trip in Libya? Leave them under this photo on my instagram and I will answer some of them in an upcoming video: instagram.com/p/CRLzWu1s3Hn/ Thanks for watching. Libya is unreal.

Hey Nick, I'm glad your experience with the police (and throughout your trip in 🇱🇾) was on a positive side; the fact that they were looking out for you. I have left you a Q under your Instagram photo 👍
I’m curious about how Libya calmed the violence of its civil war, and about any ongoing efforts to improve the economy and safety of the country in regards to non-local travelers 👌🏼
@@VegaFoster It's mainly thanks to corona... The UN ordered a cease-fire between the two fronts because of fear of covid-19 spreading and getting out of hand in libya
Do you find what seems to be a slightly more chaotic nature of the rules and regulations in Libya compared to the very heavy handed but at least clear regulations of North korea or even China to be harder to deal with as a traveler?
You Libyans praise white people but treat black people bad . That's why your country is suffering now . The same people you praise destroyed your country good
Hey man hope you're doing well, can I ask you a question? What do Libian people think about the revolution? Do they think it was organic or was it foreign meddling? What do people think about Kaddafi before the overthrow?
Libya had one of the highest literacy rates and standards of living under Ghadffi. I wish Libyan people peace but they allowed themselves to be used by the US, UK and France. May Ghadaffi rest in peace. Good man destroyed and sodomised by Obama's Libyan agents.
@@hristinatrajkovskatrajkovs74 It wasn't the people that didn't like him. It was the extremists that fought the coup supported by NATO. Gaddafi wanted a African Union that would protect the Arab world (especially North Africa) from NATO imperialism. He also wanted to establish a gold dinar which would bolster the African economy and consequently tank the US Petrol Dollar and EU economy. He pioneered the largest man made river in the world, to bring fresh water to Africans throughout Libya, Chad and Tunisia. This would make them less reliant on Western aid. He also wanted to work with RU and China to modernize Libyan infrastructure which would render Western corporations useless, considering they cost more than their RU and Chinese counterparts and are a lot less efficient. No wonder NATO led yet another illegal coup in a sovereign nation (Afghanistan, Iraq and the -Arab- NATO Spring of 2011 etc)
@@AnOnlineDweller Yes, a punishment for decades of Italian oppression against Libyans, and Tunisians. Anyone that aided the Italian colonizers (Germans, Jews etc) were expelled along with them.

More people should look into their attempted theft of the Libyan nation by the Zionists in the name of a foreign King, George.

It will NEVER develop to its former glory.. Just like Afganistan, Iraq and all other corrupt countries.. And of course the whole Balkan. They are all doomed.
Nick, your attitude to being "interrogated" is amazing. If only everyone was as understanding and empathetic as yourself. Mate, another incredible insight into a place we can only dream of travelling to in the near future. Thank you.
Regardless if you have a good attitude as Nick or not so much as myself used to, you learn quickly when traveling to places like this that the only thing that works is being humble even if/when your rights might get trampled on.
Your perseverance to get there and making this genuine vlog is highly appreciated. Thanks for showing us today's Libya and that the people are doing fine. Stay save and curious!
My uncle moved to Libya for work for some years and absolutely fell in love with the country, its beauty and its people before he passed away there due to health. What he told me about Libya is a massive contrast to the ruin created by NATO destruction of the country.
@@LittleHomieLightningtech Of course. Libya was one a great trading partner, and now just a place where millions from all over Africa use as a launching point to Lampedusa island claiming refugee status, getting free access to the mainland and obtaining freebees while Italians themselves have to go without.
I cant help but notice that the complexities and fears of libyans are not well explained to the average foreign watcher in your videos .. i totally understand why since ur only meeting a small selection of camera-shy locals .. but if ur still in tripoli and would like to hear deeper analysis of libyan history and society .. i’d be happy to have a sit down and share my opinion. - a 29 year old libyan engineer
@@Iz0pen - perhaps those with negative opinions stay away from being interviewed. Would you speak out against a strictly controlled society like this? It would be like dissing Kim Jong-Un while in North Korea!
The Libya series is one of the best series you have ever made. Thanks to Nick ( @Indigo Traveller) for this. You are the real journalist and traveller. All the best, keep it up.
A country that experienced war, it is always understandable that they might always use a curious approach towards foreigners for their safety and for the safety of others. Obviously your trip there was not without any risks, but as long as you are safe and get out of such situations, that is what matters. A huge respect to you as you still explained the situation respectfully, others might've used this and took it personally and negative way. Stay safe on the road and thank you for bringing such stories to the public.
My grandad had a business in Libya, so I spent much of my childhood there - as a white English boy. I have great memories of the place and its people. I’ve been feeling increasingly homesick for the country, particularly since my grandad’s death. It’s great to see that some stability has returned, I hope to visit again in the near future.
Bro not stable yet ....THANK YOU for saying this. As I have been feeling this in the pit in my stomach so much lately my dad is Libyan but I was born in the US.
Sorry this happened and if you were in the square this is a tactic from the bygone Gaddafi era they probably don't even know why they needed to question you in that particular area other than that's what they've seen their whole life very stupid I'm sorry that happened to you but what you told us in the end about how they want to make sure you're properly looked after this is partially right maybe your guide should have known better but Libya is a country where one person can tell you no problem you're welcome and then the next minute a different group is scowling at you
As a Libyan I really appreciate you brining insight into a country that has gotten such bad representation over the past couple years love from tripoli
fascinating narrative, as usual, thank you for visiting our country and continuing to film all the beautiful places despite the challenges that you have faced. wish you could visit Libya again under different circumstances. Cheers, from Benghazi
Having ancient Roman ruins all to yourself is indeed a treat. I visited Herculaneum and Pompeii during winter (off season) a few years back. I was at Herculaneum for a good 5 hours, and the last 2 hours before closing I didn't see another soul (except for some hungry cats). Extremely quiet and eerie. You just stand there in awe and silence, imagining what the chaos and panic must've looked like back when Vesuvius erupted. Indeed a one-of-kind experience!
Stoked they were professional about the process and that you handled it well - lived in the Gulf countries for 8+ years and random check ups on who you are are common, good on ya mate and good work for portraying the situation in a clear and fair manner.
Man at 8:09 when he said rushda (روشدا) that brought back many memories, one of my favourite dishes from Libya and my grandmother makes it the best, Good luck on the rest of your travels in libya and love from Zawia!
Growing up, I had a good school friend here in England who was Libyan born and a very passionate Gaddafi supporter. Him and his family were extremely normal and friendly. I’ve always wondered what happened to him and hope he/his family are well.
You've got my respect for going into places that are difficult to enter or sometimes even dangerous. Thank you for giving the rest of us an opportunity to take a peek into those places. May God protect you wherever you are headed!
I hitchhiked across Libya in 1976, and Gaddafi was 8n power. There was a Roman ruins in virtually perfect condition. One small "post" was down on the coliseum. There was a small city 25,000 (no one living there) in perfect shape. I think you were showing Leptis Magnum a much larger city than what I saw. I have a lot of stories about North Africa
@@basedpatriotLT Guys I know who worked in LIbya when Qaddafi was running the place always had good things to say about it. Then Obama and Hillary decided to fuck it up.
Nick, I must say sincerely, that considering the situation there, you are doing a remarkable job under the circumstances. As you stated, this is a country that sincerely appears to want to both succeed and thrive. Though guarded at times, and rightfully so, the Libyans are a people that you can palpablely feel, want to both move on, grow as a society, and flourish. What I see in your videos are a people that hesitantly but positively have hope for a good future. And I for one, as a US citizen who remembers the tension of the 80's vividly, I absolutely *want* them to succeed and wish the Libyans the best of luck!!!
Thank you for your kind words, Richard. As a Libyan who is young enough not to have the 80s geopolitics in mind, I wish our people, Libyans and Americans, to be unified and fulfilled in their destiny. Our struggle is due to our fight for a republic, that is something, defining, that we have in common. Cheers from Tripoli.
Libya has everything to be a prosperous country. Natural resources, historical sites... it just needs the will of all the people there to live in peace and not accept outside interferences. Peace and prosperity for Libya and greetings from Portugal.
I am happy to see this stupid country in ruins, they deserve it because of the “mad dog“ who ruled it for so long. I am from Bulgaria and they held 6 bulgarian nurses as hostages for 10 years in the 90’s and after years of torture in their prisons they were even sentenced to death on false accusations. Fortunately after years of negotiations thanks to France they were released free, but Libya never admitted the true or apologise so they got what they deserved for supporting the “mad dog”s state terrorism
As a Libyan you're totally right and the most important thing we need is unification if we unify one government and one military we will be the best country in Africa
@@ЂорђеМилићевић lmaoyeah the west is always the wrong doing, the part of the world which values freedom, innovation and everything thats good about humanity lmao
I just wanna shout out how calm, balanced and respectful you remained while being subject to and then recounting a very stressful situation. Not a lot of people have your amazing humility, understanding and patience. Amazing!
Libya has so much potential to be a great travel destination for tourists in the future. The old ruins and heritage sites looked beautiful. Also hello from another kiwi. Keep up the great work. Love your content!
I look forward to Sundays when your videos come out. The blue of Libya, sea and sky is awesome. The attitude of the people however is not blue but refreshingly positive. Contrast the country with our western nations and we have much to learn from Libya...we love Libya 🇱🇾.
@@itsv1p3r I have travelled everywhere, all the time. Now I just settle down in my home city, don’t want to move to anywhere. Plant well your own garden first. The happiness comes from the heart.
I used to work in LIBYA ABOUT 40 years ago it was more peaceful than now it’s still I think filled with tensions. The problem I think is it’s like two different cultures Tripoli and Benghazi differ from each other I love Libya and thanks for your video.ALLAH give them Peace.
Hi Nick, greetings from India. I have a suggestion, whenever you are visiting politically and economically volatile countries such as Libya, I think you should also conduct some off-camera or off-the-record interviews. Being completely off-the-record might make the people speak their mind which is otherwise they would like to suppress when they are on camera. Then you yourself can share them with us without naming them, just the way you talked about the incident at the end of this video. Hence, we will be able to tally the responses, if both off the record and on camera responses are similar, it is what it is, if they are different in theme, then there is scope for critical analysis of the responses.
One can appreciate the Libyan authorities viewpoint. "Things are just starting to settle down. We're trying to get tourism reestablished. We have enough problems without you getting yourself kidnapped or killed."
I cannot travel to a lot of places as I have medical issues that could get me hospitalised. It’s awesome watching these videos and learning about the countries you visit.
just found u on tube tonight watched about 6 your videos so far after a nice chilled j after work its quite intresting content opened my eyes a bit more about the world ty
That's some solid work there Nick! I love your attitude and appreciation of the authorities. They obviously recognised your level of respect. Full credit brother!
A country that is very close to where I am from (Malta) that suffered so much especially since the uprising. Nick's promoting your country is a boost and hope that this will bring more prosperity and happiness to the people of Libya. Inshallah
Hi Nick! Good to hear that you were looked after by the authorities in Libia. 🇱🇾 It was like a scary situation to be in but yet you were given the special treatment for being the only foreigner there. Interesting scenes specially on the Roman theatre. Thank you Nick!
i have lived in Libya for 13 years , im originally from Iraq and this wonderful video brought my tears , i really miss Libya and i wish if it comes back to its prime , so many memories ,Gre4at job indigo.
I'm half Libyan and lived there for 12 years but moved away to Ireland and seeing your vlogs there made me homesick to visit again♥️ keep up the good content
I discovered your channel 2 days ago watching the episodes of my city, Salvador, and now I can't stop watch all videos here. Such a wonderful job, love the attitude to recognize your privileges, and the images and soundtracks are breath taken!
Indigo posts a video, I get notified, I stop what I’m doing and tune in. You’re an insiration Nick! Libya series has been one of your best so far for sure. Keep em coming my man!
I first discovered this channel when he went to north Korea, been watching ever since. This is by far the best travel channel on youtube! He always shows what real life is like in these places not the touristy bull crap so many others do
thank you very much for your vids, ive been working there since 2008, glad to see that someone is showing a different perspective on libya. great people and a very good country.
Yep. All throughout the harsh operating conditions of North Africa, Toyotas rule supreme. Still the most durable civilian vehicle on the market, methinks.
@@antonmoric1469 Yes, durability is probably true. But if they were Tesla's, you don't think US stateside blowback would cause them to cease the sales and support of these vehicles to the criminals?
I have witnessed what the Libyan people have been through for so long and really can’t blame them for their suspicions of foreigners. I’m 100% certain that the Libyan government knows of your work and your channel on this platform. They should think about (paying) you for doing a great service to the country. Tourists leave a lot of money behind when they leave and go back home. Who knows, Libya might be the next great tourist attraction, with its historical sites, extensive coastline, friendly people and wonderful looking foods. Hopefully, but that will only happen if it is what they want. Thank you for your content, and live life to the fullest, because it goes by really fast.
You’ve got big balls mate 🤣 really enjoying this series. Loved the street life and the people seem incredibly friendly. I hope Libya becomes a remote working destination in 5-10 years! 😌
I hope one day libya will be on people's buckets list to visit. So sad that the media it's always giving this county a bad image. So happy that you gave the positive side of my country even just through your videos.
@@jessed6379 there's no such thing, Libya might be a bit dangerous, but the Libyans are very friendly, and they will look after you if they know you were in trouble
Nick , just wanted to say dude really enjoy watching your adventures, the high quality of the videos excellent! Also the style you have composed and not smelling of ego like other travel channels .. Well done buddy .. keep it going .. peace from Ireland
Fun fact: prior to the war, Libya has the highest GDP per capita on the African continent. It has real potential to thrive, I wish Libyans the very best. Again, big shout out to Nick for quality content. You my friend are a pure soul, and have a heart of gold. I can tell that you're a very kind and open-minded person. Much love to you sir
Relieved the good people of Libya were only checking to see how your travel is going. Definitely makes me curious to learn more about this country and it's history. Hopefully someday soon Libya will become a destination for world trekkers to enjoy. Nick, I must admit I feel my blood pressure rise a bit, but I do understand this type of travel is in your blood. Thank you to all the good people, especially your tour guide...be safe.
It's always funny when people act like Libya was torn apart by a civil war, rather the acknowledging the major role of the USA through NATO to induce regime change because they were not happy about Libya's attitude and the facts that they were producing so much oil. The USA was the key player that caused all this chaos and torns apart peaceful countries for their own gain, but I guess Americans are never going to acknowledge that.
Nice work! I've been in Lybia in 2013 and visited Leptis Magna, fascinating site! Same as in your case there were no other people there. They do love car races. You can often hear it. I met many nice people there, but it was not very safe at the time. Hopefully situation changed to better and will continue to improve. Good luck on your next trip.
I’m from England but every Libyan I ever met has been noticeably honest and friendly so I was always curious about the country before all the troubles, it’s sad that they have to go through this just to change leadership.
They didn't have to go through any change of leadership... Libya had the highest standard of living in Africa by far. Free education Healthcare and housing.... ect. Obama and Clinton needed a little war.
Love love love your video, this is real travel. Well done mate..🤗 As we know that media always spread bad issues but your video showing us different things. sending virtual love and respect to Libya from indonesia. . . ❤
Stay safe & God bless. My uncle, now deceased, was a Libyan Jew. I had a Libyan pupil at Harvard, a Muslim, and made extra efforts to make him feel okay and welcome and cared for. He'd been through hell in their civil war and was able to tell me about it and get it off his chest. I also cooked Libyan spinach stew for him & that helped :) To all the Libyans out there, be well & Rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu.
Nope you have to lit fire underground and let it burn until it turns to ashes and then you put your meat in there and bury it … you can do it in winter and during the night it doesn’t have to be done on midday
You get a metal barrel cut the top off and make a fire inside and after that you put the metal in after that you find a lid that is big enough to cove the top of the barrel and put sand on top of that so you don’t get the sand in the meat
Bedouin style cooking one of oldest forms of cooking in the world, the Turks and Mongol's have similar technique's. best crispy chicken you can get! I had something like this in Hungary but with beef onions and potato's.
I like how your content always leaves me wanting more information and totally understand why you hold back with certain information. You have to maintain trust and integrity with your guides and local authorities. How you conduct yourself reflects on all others that come after you.
One of my major regrets is not visiting leptis magna the last time I visited family. Almost did and it didn’t pan out. I figured, “meh, I’ll see it next time”. Revolution happened 2 years later. Who knows when I’ll have another chance. Great video, sir!! Very ballsy! Libyans are not keen on being filmed and it’s very easy to get into a confrontation if you don’t have consent.
I'm in tears, the way that you talk about how nice Libyans are is so overwhelming, I haven't been back there since 2016, seeing all these places again bring so many memories and good vibes. Be careful, specifically knowing how bad covid is getting there now.
kill the power breabreaker in your house and wait for 6 hours minimum (depending on how much you missed it) no internet no water no gas and no air-fucking-conditioner. That will give you good flash backs
@@SONNYemc I remember that like if it was yesterday, it's funny that with all that shit I never felt depressed, we had to go through it yes or yes. Now I'm in a place I always dreamed of but with no desire to live, feels like I will never fit in, nor here nor there
@@Nadia-Bilbao I've been out for more than 10 years, i know exactly what you mean, they won't understand tills they walk in our shoes, these materials are important but you have your own self in your country, i miss that feeling of secure and calmed whatever happens like i don't care and everything has a different meaning when you do it. It's not a choice to go back, but i never with it to anyone to get stuck and always treated like an outsider no matter what.
@@Nadia-Bilbao Exactly, it's so hard for people to understand this... I am an immigrant from the Colombian Caribbean to the USA and it's like your soul gets left behind, and once you leave it's not the same if you are able to go back. It's a heartbreaking situation.
It's so shame, that you haven't been there more than 10 years ago, it was absolutely different, now, I want to almost cry, what happened with Libya and others countries.
It looks like an interesting country. Really enjoying the series. I can tell that the authorities are treating you well because they still haven't confiscated your footage at all.
Libya is stunningly BEAUUUUUUUTIFUL!!!! This country has so much potential to become a successful African country. There's so much history, natural wonder, and kind people! I hope one day the country can open its borders to allow PASSIONATE TRAVELERS such as myself to receive the blessing of visiting such marvel!!!!
Have you ever thought of coming to Jamaica? I know Jamaica is a place where tourists visit, but Jamaica has a crime problem. We have one of the highest murder rate in the world. I think it would be interesting place for you to visit.
@@H20. That is great that fortune smiled upon you. That unfortunately does not change the overall reality of the situation that Jamaica has a high violent crime rate.
Nick, I am completely blown away at what a considerate journalist you are, always giving the voice of the country to its people. A great example is this video; you sat and listened to your guide describe their local way of cooking, without jumping in with "We do that too, in NZ, we call that a 'hangi'!". I don't think I know any other kiwi (I'm kiwi) who could resist the temptation to mention the similarity, unintentionally making it about us. You're really solid!
Responding in the way you described is actually a common and very human way to create a connection with someone. Similarities create strong bonds, and this awful trend of people being so far up their own assholes that they feel like the person opposite of them is trying to take anything away from them simply by saying that they experience or do something similar is seriously disturbing. I love when people respond with their similarities to me, it makes me that much more inclined to spend time with them.
@@Jimmertt Of course, in "real" life/ social situations, that goes without saying. But its a real skill in journalism - one I think Nick has really mastered.
Thank you for taking these trips and taking on the risks involved. I love these on-the-ground peeks at what is REALLY happening in these countries. ♥️ The truth most times seems to be at polar opposites to what is portrayed in the media.

I'm wondering what was the problem with Gaddafi why your people didn't like him.
@@hristinatrajkovskatrajkovs74
It wasn't the people that didn't like him. It was the extremists that fought the coup supported by NATO.
Gaddafi wanted a African Union that would protect the Arab world (especially North Africa) from NATO imperialism. He also wanted to establish a gold dinar which would bolster the African economy and consequently tank the US Petrol Dollar and EU economy. He pioneered the largest man made river in the world, to bring fresh water to Africans throughout Libya, Chad and Tunisia. This would make them less reliant on Western aid. He also wanted to work with RU and China to modernize Libyan infrastructure which would render Western corporations useless, considering they cost more than their RU and Chinese counterparts and are a lot less efficient.
No wonder NATO led yet another illegal coup in a sovereign nation (Afghanistan, Iraq and the -Arab- NATO Spring of 2011 etc)

I cant help but notice that the complexities and fears of libyans are not well explained to the average foreign watcher in your videos .. i totally understand why since ur only meeting a small selection of camera-shy locals .. but if ur still in tripoli and would like to hear deeper analysis of libyan history and society .. i’d be happy to have a sit down and share my opinion.

Saying the wrong thing to his camera could be a very long police interview. I think he's getting as much as he can.
What is he missing?
What he face about his camera is happening with Libyan photographers too.. He isn't in Libya
Hello from the UK 👋
@@Iz0pen - perhaps those with negative opinions stay away from being interviewed.
Would you speak out against a strictly controlled society like this?
It would be like dissing Kim Jong-Un while in North Korea!
The Libya series is one of the best series you have ever made. Thanks to Nick ( @Indigo Traveller) for this.
You are the real journalist and traveller.
All the best, keep it up.
Thank you, Ayush! Really appreciate your words. Best to India!

Traveller not journalist, people seem to conflate the two.
Agreed!❤🇱🇾
A country that experienced war, it is always understandable that they might always use a curious approach towards foreigners for their safety and for the safety of others. Obviously your trip there was not without any risks, but as long as you are safe and get out of such situations, that is what matters. A huge respect to you as you still explained the situation respectfully, others might've used this and took it personally and negative way. Stay safe on the road and thank you for bringing such stories to the public.
Genuinely feel lucky getting the chance to see what is going on there Nick , your channel continues to excell in terms of quality , great work.
Libya looks so beautiful and the people there are so loving, caring and friendly! I will definitely visit Libya one day! Thank you for sharing this!
Brazil is beautiful too. You should check out the Falvela's this time of year.
I highly recommend you go to Libya . please disregard the lies you read from western media especially the USA!, UK and France.
My grandad had a business in Libya, so I spent much of my childhood there - as a white English boy. I have great memories of the place and its people. I’ve been feeling increasingly homesick for the country, particularly since my grandad’s death. It’s great to see that some stability has returned, I hope to visit again in the near future.
From libya..you wellcom
Bro not stable yet ....THANK YOU for saying this. As I have been feeling this in the pit in my stomach so much lately my dad is Libyan but I was born in the US.
Sorry this happened and if you were in the square this is a tactic from the bygone Gaddafi era they probably don't even know why they needed to question you in that particular area other than that's what they've seen their whole life very stupid I'm sorry that happened to you but what you told us in the end about how they want to make sure you're properly looked after this is partially right maybe your guide should have known better but Libya is a country where one person can tell you no problem you're welcome and then the next minute a different group is scowling at you

wish you could visit Libya again under different circumstances.

Thank you, Ali, appreciate your words. Thank you for welcoming me in your country.
Having ancient Roman ruins all to yourself is indeed a treat. I visited Herculaneum and Pompeii during winter (off season) a few years back. I was at Herculaneum for a good 5 hours, and the last 2 hours before closing I didn't see another soul (except for some hungry cats). Extremely quiet and eerie. You just stand there in awe and silence, imagining what the chaos and panic must've looked like back when Vesuvius erupted. Indeed a one-of-kind experience!
2 mesmerising sights I have also visited.
Stoked they were professional about the process and that you handled it well - lived in the Gulf countries for 8+ years and random check ups on who you are are common, good on ya mate and good work for portraying the situation in a clear and fair manner.

Thank you for watching! Glad it brings back fond memories :)
Just so that you know , you took the whole world on a ride and we'll always be grateful
Growing up, I had a good school friend here in England who was Libyan born and a very passionate Gaddafi supporter. Him and his family were extremely normal and friendly. I’ve always wondered what happened to him and hope he/his family are well.
I'll never forget about that murder of Yvonne Fletcher
@@turnip5359 what does that have to do with sherlocks comment
@@LittleCobra Yvonne was murdered in front of the Libyan Embassy, by shots coming from the embassy building. So now do you get it ?
@@Odo55 I’ll never forget what the west did to Iraq, Syria and Libya.
You've got my respect for going into places that are difficult to enter or sometimes even dangerous. Thank you for giving the rest of us an opportunity to take a peek into those places. May God protect you wherever you are headed!
I hitchhiked across Libya in 1976, and Gaddafi was 8n power. There was a Roman ruins in virtually perfect condition. One small "post" was down on the coliseum. There was a small city 25,000 (no one living there) in perfect shape. I think you were showing Leptis Magnum a much larger city than what I saw. I have a lot of stories about North Africa

This channel is so incredible.
Nick, I must say sincerely, that considering the situation there, you are doing a remarkable job under the circumstances. As you stated, this is a country that sincerely appears to want to both succeed and thrive.
Though guarded at times, and rightfully so, the Libyans are a people that you can palpablely feel, want to both move on, grow as a society, and flourish. What I see in your videos are a people that hesitantly but positively have hope for a good future.
And I for one, as a US citizen who remembers the tension of the 80's vividly, I absolutely *want* them to succeed and wish the Libyans the best of luck!!!
Beautifully put sir
I visited usa and libya. I can say that usa is more dangerous:).
@@romanianhustler3309 And I can say you're a liar.
Thank you for your kind words, Richard. As a Libyan who is young enough not to have the 80s geopolitics in mind, I wish our people, Libyans and Americans, to be unified and fulfilled in their destiny. Our struggle is due to our fight for a republic, that is something, defining, that we have in common. Cheers from Tripoli.
Libya has everything to be a prosperous country. Natural resources, historical sites... it just needs the will of all the people there to live in peace and not accept outside interferences. Peace and prosperity for Libya and greetings from Portugal.
They have everything the west wants. That's they're biggest problem.
I am happy to see this stupid country in ruins, they deserve it because of the “mad dog“ who ruled it for so long. I am from Bulgaria and they held 6 bulgarian nurses as hostages for 10 years in the 90’s and after years of torture in their prisons they were even sentenced to death on false accusations. Fortunately after years of negotiations thanks to France they were released free, but Libya never admitted the true or apologise so they got what they deserved for supporting the “mad dog”s state terrorism
As a Libyan you're totally right and the most important thing we need is unification if we unify one government and one military we will be the best country in Africa

Great job Indigo Traveller. I think that you are a very respectful person.
I wish peace and prosperity to Libya, they have it all to shine again.
Libya has so much potential to be a great travel destination for tourists in the future. The old ruins and heritage sites looked beautiful. Also hello from another kiwi. Keep up the great work. Love your content!
Thanks Mary, much love!
Yeah, reminds me of Egpyt, nice waters for cruising, bit of history, and local foods to try.
I look forward to Sundays when your videos come out. The blue of Libya, sea and sky is awesome. The attitude of the people however is not blue but refreshingly positive. Contrast the country with our western nations and we have much to learn from Libya...we love Libya 🇱🇾.

I used to work in LIBYA ABOUT 40 years ago it was more peaceful than now it’s still I think filled with tensions. The problem I think is it’s like two different cultures Tripoli and Benghazi differ from each other I love Libya and thanks for your video.ALLAH give them Peace.
What’s the difference between the two?
I'm just glad that Liptis Magna is still there and didn't get wiped out like other ruins in other countries.
We libyans will not allow that to happen
history is culture to us
Hi Nick, greetings from India. I have a suggestion, whenever you are visiting politically and economically volatile countries such as Libya, I think you should also conduct some off-camera or off-the-record interviews. Being completely off-the-record might make the people speak their mind which is otherwise they would like to suppress when they are on camera. Then you yourself can share them with us without naming them, just the way you talked about the incident at the end of this video. Hence, we will be able to tally the responses, if both off the record and on camera responses are similar, it is what it is, if they are different in theme, then there is scope for critical analysis of the responses.
One can appreciate the Libyan authorities viewpoint.
"Things are just starting to settle down. We're trying to get tourism reestablished.
We have enough problems without you getting yourself kidnapped or killed."
I cannot travel to a lot of places as I have medical issues that could get me hospitalised. It’s awesome watching these videos and learning about the countries you visit.

Hi Nick!
Good to hear that you were looked after by the authorities in Libia. 🇱🇾 It was like a scary situation to be in but yet you were given the special treatment for being the only foreigner there. Interesting scenes specially on the Roman theatre. Thank you Nick!

I have witnessed what the Libyan people have been through for so long and really can’t blame them for their suspicions of foreigners. I’m 100% certain that the Libyan government knows of your work and your channel on this platform. They should think about (paying) you for doing a great service to the country. Tourists leave a lot of money behind when they leave and go back home. Who knows, Libya might be the next great tourist attraction, with its historical sites, extensive coastline, friendly people and wonderful looking foods. Hopefully, but that will only happen if it is what they want. Thank you for your content, and live life to the fullest, because it goes by really fast.
After all the years of suffering from the usa mafia we can’t understand that they are suspicious..
You’ve got big balls mate 🤣 really enjoying this series. Loved the street life and the people seem incredibly friendly. I hope Libya becomes a remote working destination in 5-10 years! 😌
Haha thanks Darren! Hopefully Libya will prosper and you can come do a stint here :)
I hope one day libya will be on people's buckets list to visit. So sad that the media it's always giving this county a bad image. So happy that you gave the positive side of my country even just through your videos.

Relieved the good people of Libya were only checking to see how your travel is going. Definitely makes me curious to learn more about this country and it's history. Hopefully someday soon Libya will become a destination for world trekkers to enjoy. Nick, I must admit I feel my blood pressure rise a bit, but I do understand this type of travel is in your blood. Thank you to all the good people, especially your tour guide...be safe.
No nonsense and non-pretentious travel vlogging. Well done, Nick. Always interesting.
It's always funny when people act like Libya was torn apart by a civil war, rather the acknowledging the major role of the USA through NATO to induce regime change because they were not happy about Libya's attitude and the facts that they were producing so much oil. The USA was the key player that caused all this chaos and torns apart peaceful countries for their own gain, but I guess Americans are never going to acknowledge that.
I think we all know who was behind this calamity. NATO aircrafts bombed Gaddafi palace in 2011.
Exactly
Americans see authoritarianism and think their country's genocides are justified. Just so some US oil baron can buy the native land, such 'freedom'
exactly... and the introduction to his video using clips of Obama and Clinton as if they did something great is hilarious!
It is NOT about the oil. Either in Libya or Iraq. It's about stopping dedollarization. That is what they are most scared of.
Nice work! I've been in Lybia in 2013 and visited Leptis Magna, fascinating site! Same as in your case there were no other people there. They do love car races. You can often hear it. I met many nice people there, but it was not very safe at the time. Hopefully situation changed to better and will continue to improve. Good luck on your next trip.
In love with this series ❣️ I was on edge the whole time last week with all the police cars around. Great great docu work 😍
I’m from England but every Libyan I ever met has been noticeably honest and friendly so I was always curious about the country before all the troubles, it’s sad that they have to go through this just to change leadership.
They didn't have to go through any change of leadership... Libya had the highest standard of living in Africa by far. Free education Healthcare and housing.... ect.
Obama and Clinton needed a little war.
Your comment could be taken as sinister if coming from someone who knows why Libya and Libyan society were destroyed to such a degree.
@@timoteicapiton3d312 how so? It was a complement.

Love love love your video, this is real travel. Well done mate..🤗
As we know that media always spread bad issues but your video showing us different things. sending virtual love and respect to Libya from indonesia. . . ❤
Stay safe & God bless. My uncle, now deceased, was a Libyan Jew. I had a Libyan pupil at Harvard, a Muslim, and made extra efforts to make him feel okay and welcome and cared for. He'd been through hell in their civil war and was able to tell me about it and get it off his chest. I also cooked Libyan spinach stew for him & that helped :) To all the Libyans out there, be well & Rahmat Allah wa barakatuhu.
You're a good man, keep up the positive attitude.
Wow! what a change. I was there in 1960-61 before the Kadhafi years. Tripoli was beautiful. Had a large Italian section. Nice restaurants.
Pasta is still popular there.
8:38 So the desert ground is so hot midday that it cooks chicken?
Something like that
Nope you have to lit fire underground and let it burn until it turns to ashes and then you put your meat in there and bury it … you can do it in winter and during the night it doesn’t have to be done on midday
Tay mate you pop up every were :) !
You get a metal barrel cut the top off and make a fire inside and after that you put the metal in after that you find a lid that is big enough to cove the top of the barrel and put sand on top of that so you don’t get the sand in the meat
Bedouin style cooking one of oldest forms of cooking in the world, the Turks and Mongol's have similar technique's. best crispy chicken you can get! I had something like this in Hungary but with beef onions and potato's.
I like how your content always leaves me wanting more information and totally understand why you hold back with certain information. You have to maintain trust and integrity with your guides and local authorities. How you conduct yourself reflects on all others that come after you.
Your guide was the best ambassador for his country!
One of my major regrets is not visiting leptis magna the last time I visited family. Almost did and it didn’t pan out. I figured, “meh, I’ll see it next time”. Revolution happened 2 years later. Who knows when I’ll have another chance.
Great video, sir!! Very ballsy! Libyans are not keen on being filmed and it’s very easy to get into a confrontation if you don’t have consent.
I'm in tears, the way that you talk about how nice Libyans are is so overwhelming, I haven't been back there since 2016, seeing all these places again bring so many memories and good vibes. Be careful, specifically knowing how bad covid is getting there now.

Nick, I am completely blown away at what a considerate journalist you are, always giving the voice of the country to its people. A great example is this video; you sat and listened to your guide describe their local way of cooking, without jumping in with "We do that too, in NZ, we call that a 'hangi'!". I don't think I know any other kiwi (I'm kiwi) who could resist the temptation to mention the similarity, unintentionally making it about us. You're really solid!
Responding in the way you described is actually a common and very human way to create a connection with someone. Similarities create strong bonds, and this awful trend of people being so far up their own assholes that they feel like the person opposite of them is trying to take anything away from them simply by saying that they experience or do something similar is seriously disturbing.
I love when people respond with their similarities to me, it makes me that much more inclined to spend time with them.
@@Jimmertt Of course, in "real" life/ social situations, that goes without saying. But its a real skill in journalism - one I think Nick has really mastered.
