I love the people of Iran and thank them for accepting thousands of Polish refugees during WWII to live and thrive. The hospitality and warmth of this country will not be forgotten by my grandparents, parents, me, nor my children and future grandchildren. Thank you Iran! 🇵🇱💛 🇮🇷
Local Iranians seem like very loving and hospitable people. Absolutely vital not to trust what we hear in the media.
Love from Texas USA to all the people of Iran. You have a beautiful country with amazing people. Peace and love to you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
US sanctions only end up hurting regular people like you see in this video. I would love to go to Iran some day.
I am from Iran and I really appreciate you for showing the truth about my country.this video really made me emotional. It was stunning. I wish you the best, Nick.
I have been to Iran 2 years ago and it’s an amazing country, very safe and very beautiful. People is better educated than in lots of coutry I have visited, for sure better educated than USA. I met lot of people who talked to me freely about the Government, the problems in Iran but even the beauty of the places and historical sites. Unfortunately Western Media talks about Iran only to tell bad news but behind the bad news there is a colourful, cultivated and smiling country. Very reccomended to go there.
I remember as a norwegian living in Oslo and I was around 12. I was getting my hair cut at this barber by an iranian woman and she was very welcoming. She talked about iranian culture and family life. At the end she invited my family over to eat a traditional persian meal with her family. One of the most nice people I have met in public.Love to Iran from Norway.
I love Iranian people. They are so sweet and kind. Iran has such a rich culture I hope one day I get to visit.
The shopkeeper was the star of this video. Thumbs up for him.
Let help Iran and it’s people. Let promote its Tourism.
Love and peace to the citizens of Iran from Scotland♥️☮️
Im an Iranian girl and today I accidentally found your channel, I want to thank you deep in my heart, coz you are showing what the real Iran is. You are more than welcome here. And I wish I couldeet you in your journey here.😇🌱
I’m a Finnish guy living in the USA (music student) and these videos sparked my interest to go visit some of the less beaten paths of the world. Iranian people seem very chill and friendly, I don’t care what the evil politicians say.Keep up the good work mate! And greetings to Iranian people out there! 🙂
Iranian guy speaking here :-).My wife and I visited Iran 3 years go.My Wife is Thai and she was very scared to go to Iran. I explained her many times how safe it is!We went and she had an amazing time!We are now getting ready for our second time travelling to Iran together.Nick keep these amazing video’s coming man! really nice!
When a Kiwi considers a culture hospitable and calls a scenery epic, you should do any anything to explore that culture and see that scenery! I was planning a trip in Dec, but screw Dec! I’m booking tix for next month! See you soon Iran!Love from down under!
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness…” Mark TwainAppreciated this video and your travel vlog. Persian culture and Persian people are some of the most beautiful, warm, kind-hearted and brilliant people.
Iran is a beautiful place! Really opened my eyes a lot.
Iran 🇮🇷 looks awesome! The people are so amazing and friendly. And not to mention the culture and heritage. ❤️I have added Iran 🇮🇷 to my Travel Bucket List. Thanks, Nick!
OMG, the Iran series is absolutely amazing! I love how you emphasize how warm and kind the people are. Been watching with my kids, and they are off their phones while watching your videos. You deserve so many more subscribers…
My Hair Cut in North Korea (Super cheap)
(c) Indigo Traveller INSTAGRAM FOR PHOTOS OF NORTH KOREA: https://www.instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ -MY PATREON: …
Want to see how I got into North Korea and how much it cost me? Watch here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoFT3DzR4Mg
North Korean agent to another: – should we monitor and secretly videotape him in his hotel room? – no need. He’s doing that himself, we can watch it later on YouTube …
Should have turned on the TV. Maybe there were Star Trek reruns. Too bad the hotel didn’t have a Flowbee.
That does NOT look like one of the state approved north korean haircuts🤣
You should have asked them to cut your hair like the supreme leader..
Commenting for the first time. I recently found your channel and have been fascinated by the amazing variety of people and cultures you are bringing to your viewers. I’m learning so much and wanted to thank you for showing the humanity in places one might not expect. Also appreciate the ridiculous moments as well, where I’m sure you’ve had to hold back an eye-roll or two. Love the haircut! Cheers. ☀️
Looks good!
What an amazing trip, thank you so much for documenting this, you def. need more subs.I was completely obsessed with this series, getting a well documented outside look at DRNK, would love to go there some time, but there’s obviously risk involved, and I’m not sure I’m willing to take that on. That Otto guy was an idiot, taking down propaganda like that, so I don’t feel terribly bad for him, but either way there’s a higher than most possibility that you don’t come back, and that’s enough to deter me. Looks like an absolutely beautiful country, though! Very cool series!
Dude, the idea of getting a haircut in DPRK is hysterical to me. Well done. Love your videos, keep ‘em coming.
I think this is the first time I really wanted to watch a person get their hair cut. Lookin’ nice!
Oh my God I do really love this video so much .. shows how close ppl are to each others wherever they are from .. these 6 minutes I’ve just watched aint just a haircut vid but they send dozens of messages that emphasize that borders between ppl of earth are just RUBBISH !! Thank you Nick for this amazing vid
I was totally freaking out about having your neck front side down to wash your hair. You’d get choked! I’m binge watching all your videos and am loving it. I never knew how beautiful North Korea is!
Love this video Indigo Traveller, been a follower for sometime now and have learnt so much from you and I thank you so much for your videos I have tried to adapt some of your techniques into my videos. thank you again!
Absolutely loving your vlogs, only recently found you on you tube and have binged watched everything so far. You are totally inspiring, can’t wait to see more! Safe and happy travels
I live for your videos!!! literally never stop. i love everything about them, the intro, the way you record the details, the way you tell the story, .. everything! keep it up man! I usually never click the notification button when i subscribe cause i hate getting notifications on videos, but your channel definitely made me subscribe and click the bell icon 🙂
I’m doing this same journey in January!! So excited and fascinated watching this series
Good morning ☕️ well that was quite the experience now wasn’t it! I can only imagine how awkward that was leaning forward to have your hair washed lol but that’s the difference and experience that makes all this unique and so very interesting! I’m a new subbie and have truly enjoyed your journey thus far in North Korea and now on to China!! Thank you for sharing and be safe! Much love from Canada 🇨🇦🧚🏻♀️
Thank you for this series and your impeccable documentation. So incredibly interesting
Hi Nick, just finished watching ALL of your North Korea videos and I have to tell you I just subscribed to your channel. I love the way you narrate and explain everything you do in your travels. North Korea has always fascinated me, and your videos were extremely well done and full of great information. You seem to be such a kind and nice human being and I can’t wait for future videos to come. And of course, I will be watching all your previous videos as well. I just found you on YouTube and I’m so glad I did! Please be safe in all your travels and keep up the great work!!!
Why on earth would they put you face down in the shampoo bowl?
WALKING STREETS OF CARACAS, VENEZUELA (Crisis Visible)
(c) Indigo Traveller Walking streets of Venezuela’s Capital City, economic crisis evident. -My Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/indigo.traveller/ …
You may wonder why this video took me so long to upload – The reason is that I have been having serious problems with the internet in Latin America, I have literally been trying to get the video up for the past 2 weeks with many fails even after sometimes reaching 67% over the space of 4 days and then crashing and having to restart over and over again, but here it is finally! This is something I only have to deal with for a short time period though, people in this area have to deal with it on a daily basis and internet is the least of their problems, I am lucky enough to simply jump on a plane and escape. *Thank you for your patience.* 🇻🇪❤
I’ve really enjoyed the Venezuela series and Lenny deserves major credit. He seems like such a kind hearted man. Love hearing him explain things.
Really enjoying this series! I lived in Caracas and worked in Petare in the mid-90s. It was extremely dangerous even then, and hearing nearby gunfire was something that happened 20 to 30 times per day at least. Murders took place daily and it was a perpetual game of hide and seek with the malandros as you constantly had to vary your route and be unpredictable to avoid becoming a victim. Going into that area now takes legitimate manberries and I was very happy to see that the Venezuelan spirit is alive and well with people doing good things to help each other “salir pa’lante.” Que viva Venezuela – and thank you for giving everyone a current view.
This Venezuela series is absolutely fascinating and frightening. A society in free fall,
Please be careful. I am Venezuelan but I left a long time ago. The crime is unbelievable and the food shortages are terrible. This video is great but it doesn’t show everything. Venezuela is in a way worse situation out of Caracas (as Indigo mentioned). I am surprised that you haven’t gotten your camera stolen yet
Hi, I am a Venezuelan living in Australia, I haven’t been in my country for over 5 years and I just want to say thank you for making this videos. You are not just showing Venezuela to the world but your are showing it to me and it brings so many memories, it feels surreal to feel so close just by watching your videos. Thank you are doing a great job and the way you are showing things is quite fantastic.
This has been a great series Nick! Thanks for giving a ground level view.
Hi Nick, thanks for your videos.I’m from Venezuela and feels great to see how you expose the real situation to the world. Look after yourself and keep it up 👍
There is a palpable tension that I cannot exactly pinpoint in this Venezuela series. Of a kind that wasn’t conveyed in your Egypt or even Iran series. I get the feeling while watching these scenes, that in two or three decades they will be like video time capsules of a moment stuck in history.
Lenny, I hope you are ok🥺 if someone hurts him we know why… he just speaks the truth. thank u Lenny for contributing to indigo’s vlog and helping show what Venezuela really is❤️
Is Lenny going to be okay in the long run in Venezuela? Ive come to really appreciate the guy.
Thank you for doing this series. Youtube suggested your Venezuela series as I’m from Venezuela and I’m constantly watching the news on youtube (which is where journalists can speak freely as there is no real “free media” inside Venezuela). I’ve also watched some of your other journeys and they’re really eye opening. Please keep on travelling and being honest and kind.
Glad to hear you left in time. They are having more power outages again including Caracas. Praying for all who live there be safe everyone.
OMG THAT AREA IS WAY TOO DANGEROUS! I’m in shock you were able to film. Thank you for making this series! It has been a lot of work but definately worth it!
Many thanks Nick, I have enjoyed you’re journey around Caracas. Its been both an eye opener and educational and I hope the Venezuelan people can end this horror sometime soon.
Thank you for sharing…I left Caracas in 1979.. the country was experiencing a huge economic boom due to oil sales … What you saw is not event the shadow of what the city used to be …. God bless Nick
Your videos are outstanding. Your guide Lenny has been invaluable to getting these done! As always, looking forward to the next one.
what lenny said about you seeing places of caracas that people that have lived there their whole lives have never seen is completely true. i lived there for 15 years and i never went to plaza bol�var, or the parliament, and never got into the metro. thank you for taking such a big risk and showing the raw reality of my country!
Nick & Lenny, thank you both so much for this incredible look into this world, I have a very dear family member (by choice) that is from Caracas, a phenomenal young man and seeing his home like this hurts my heart for him…. He’s out, but I shared this with him.
Your vlogs are absolutely amazing. Thanks for your brave look into these countries that many of us will never see in person. It is refreshing to see someone travelling to other nations and not just trying to pickup girls and have fun but is giving us a look at daily life in some of these countries without a bias or political slant. Thank you so much.
HELLO BANGLADESH. DHAKA IS CRAZY.
(c) Indigo Traveller VLOG #146. Let me know your thoughts in the comments section PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/indigotraveller or if you …
❤🇧🇩 Bangladesh, what’s up? 🇧🇩❤
lots of love from bangladesh….💜💜
Thanks for coming, Nick! 😊💟
These videos are great thank you so much! My husband is Bangladeshi and most of our family still lives there. I find this is one of the most authentic accounts of Bangladesh I’ve ever seen. You’ve captured the people, the culture, and the city. Most importantly you’ve portrayed the Bangladeshi people just as they are- kind and hospitable. Something the world needs to see more of. Thank you!
It actually takes a lot of guts, humility and courage for people from developed countries to come to developing countries to a totally different and much more difficult environment and truly experience life without judgements. Nice video and hats off to the people of Bangladesh.
I just wanted to thank you for your clips…as a father of five I dont get time to travel the world. I am too busy earning a living , and thankfully through your videos I can see many of the places in the world that I have an insatiable curiosity about. I was a history teacher for almost a decade so I have a natural inclination for exploration. I went into my own business so my wife can be home with the kids , and I totally lost touch with my love of different parts of theworld. Thank you and keep them coming. When my kids are of age I plan on visiting many of the areas you have. Thanks to you I will have a good idea about what I will encounter.
One good thing about Bangladeshis which I have noticed by meeting many of them is that they are very proud of their country but not snobs and despite the jokes made around them, they are really hardworking people, committed to their motherland and progressing at a breakneck speed! They will soon emerge as a significant country!
Amazing adventure and even more impressive people. I would totally love to experience Bangladesh 🇧🇩. This entire region is completely foreign to me but India and Nepal are on my list to visit in the next two years and than who knows what will follow.
I learned when I lived in China that when people stare to take it as a compliment — they are just super interested!! It can be a little unnerving at first but I got used to it quickly since everyone was friendly.
Nepal will miss you and hope you’ll have a great time in Bangladesh😊😊😊 Love from Nepal.❤❤
Sorry Nick you had to go through this time in Dhaka! But I hope that you enjoyed the food, culture, and our hospitality. 🇧🇩
Interestingly enough even as a kid I wanted to visit Dhaka. I remember a middle school project where I created an airline and Dhaka was one of the destinations. Can’t wait to see it myself.
Omg… I instantly recognized the guy at 1:50 from Himalayan Scenery and Trekking… he’s super friendly and trustworthy. I met him like 15 years ago on my first of many trips to Nepal and he helped me a lot and treated me like family.
I love how even though they know they won’t understand your english they still give it their all!<3
Good to see someone who enjoys their stay in Bangladesh. We have a lot of things that might not look or seem comfortable but that’s how things are for a developing country I guess. Anyone is welcome to Bangladesh anytime. People generally are very welcoming and very friendly; not all of them of course and that’s how it is in every country. Great videos. Kudos to you!
Huge amount of respect for traveling to a country most people don’t 🙂
Hey I am from Bangladesh but I am in the US right now. I wanna thank you for all the appreciation and noticed good side of Bangladesh and I also sorry at the same time because of all the bad situation you went through. I hope you liked Bangladesh.☺
I’m a Bangladeshi.And I’m really grateful that you came to visit our country..❤Hope you’ll come and visit again!
Hey! im from Bangladesh. glad to see you found it so fascinating. Thanks for the kind comments. the political situation here really is kind of awkward and the streets flooding is a regular annoyance. Still thanks for visiting our little country , it is beautiful in its own way. Hope you enjoy/enjoyed your stay here.PS. so sorry to here of you’re troubles with the customs. there seems to be general decline in the character of the civil servants now a days.Wishing you all the best.River
I am really surprised by your brave effort. It’s not easy to survive in a country on your own without any guide where most of the common people are not good in English .But you did really good…..
The BAD PART of Egypt 🇪🇬مساويء مصر
(c) Indigo Traveller MY INSTAGRAM : https://www.goo.gl/LdEY3U -MY FACEBOOK: https://www.goo.gl/98tqkZ -MY PATREON: …
*PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE TO THE END BEFORE COMMENTING* 😀✌All my *NEW* Egypt videos: https://tinyurl.com/yb7jjm2jAll my *OLD* Egypt videos: https://tinyurl.com/ycz59cfsScammed in Egypt video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwJFDx0DEfgThank you for watching! Nick 💗شكرا
Having lived in Egypt for 12 years, and my dad being Egyptian I totally agree with you. It’s sad but true and it’s nice to see someone like you raising awareness of that.
Sorry for inconvenience but to enjoy your time in Egypt take a local guide with you along the journey and for transportation now you can use some good applications now like UBER or KAREEM .as it’s with fixed price. But Generally Egypt is a wonderful country that deserves to be visited.
I’m Egyptian and I’m glad that you were very respectful in presenting the case!
visited Egypt in October of 2011 a few months after the Arab Spring and the entire country was free of tourists … love the vibrancy of the culture … beautiful people … incredible history … so much to see … Cairo is one of my most favorite cities … highly encourage travelers to take their time and enjoy
I have been to Sharm El Sheikh 7 times and all of the times it has been amazing the locals are welcoming to tourists.However I totally agree with the scams its everywhere people are trying to sell fake items such as watches for cheap and they are fake.Overall I think its a nice place especially the brilliant weather.
I’ve been living in Egypt for 15 years, it’s sad that few bad Egyptians ruined the whole image of Egypt, the fact is that most Egyptians are very kind, warm, generous and helping people, please use Uber instead of taxy, always ask the price first before buying everything, Don’t hesitate to bargain and if it’s too expensive just say NO politely and leave, make some research before coming to Egypt, if you know some locals that will be perfect to be your guide or at least provide you some informations, the scams mostly happen in Touristic places like The Pyramids, KHAN KHALILY, souvenirs’ shop’ etc, so just say NO if someone approach you to sell something, and always use Egyptian Money when you buy something( EGP ) hopefully you will have wonderful days in Egypt.
Thanks for this video mate. I’ve been travelling around Egypt for the past couple of weeks and I’ve tried to enjoy myself here but its very very tough at times,….the harassment is real and just so constant. I’ve travelled to countries far poorer than Egypt and yeah, people haggle for tourist dollars,….but not like here. Tips for others:*You will get sick of the words “TAXI” “TIPS” “WHERE ARE YOU FROM”.*Say NO to everyone and anyone who approaches or talks to you in the street and keep walking, they are all scumbags. The good Egyptians will never harass people in the street.*Inside tourist attractions the constant harassment for tips/camel rides/souvenirs is insanely aggressive, beware. *Never let anyone know you have foreign currency, just stick to a fair tip in Egyptian currency.*Disgraceful security guards will happily let tourists walk all over ancient ruins for “tips”, don’t fall for it and don’t wreck the ruins.*Even some hostel/hotel owners will try and scam you into personal tours claiming to show you “the real Egypt” then proceed to rip you off at every turn or walk you into a souvenir shop.*Negotiate a price for everything before you even think of doing it. (food, taxis, tours, everything!)* Use Uber instead of the constant battle with taxis.*Always ask for a menu even if its Arabic and learn some Arabic numbers because you will always always always be overcharged.*Always check the change you have been given.*Never hand over an entrance ticket or a train/bus ticket, ALWAYS wait for them to inspect and hand it back. I guess the only positive is that I haven’t seen or heard about any violent crime or muggings,….Egypt is just scam central.
I’m from Egypt and I agree with a few points There are many scams in Egypt but little minority of people are scamming and the rest of the Egyptians are conscientious and helpful so tourists should be careful dealing with the people in Egypt’s streetsSecondly, hustling is the areal problem the government should try to solve it as it affects negatively
I visited Cairo two months ago and I meet really kind and humble egyptians, especially in downtown area and not the tourist places.
I run small group tours to Egypt every October and I can confirm that the worst part about Egypt is the constant hassling and the scams that come along with it. You mention that it’s because of Egyptians needing to feed their families and how this is been getting worse since the revolution but to be honest it hasn’t changed at all. I was in Egypt a year prior to the revolution and it was exactly the same. Now, I’m not saying that the situation/economy isn’t worse now than it was before but what I will tell you is that absolutely nothing has changed when it comes to the hassles/scams that go down there. Traveling to Egypt independently can be incredibly frustrating which is why I decided to start running group tours there. Anyway, great job on all the videos. I’ve been watching closely. You’ve really represented what Egypt is all about. It’s an incredible country with so much to see and do and despite the issues there, it remains to be one of my favorite countries in the world. — Ryan
Thank you for bringing this up. You’re absolutely right about both the scamming as well as the bad income driving force behind it, and such experience is not exclusive to foreigners, it also happens to us as locals too. However, Egypt has a population of nearly 100 million people and I am sure you did not come across all of them, unfortunately, short time tourists do run into such encounters with common street pushovers, yet do not get to meet and engage with the upper class and educated elites. Bottomline, it is the economy!
I’m from NYC, thought I was scavy and street smart being from there. Also I’ve traveled to many countries over the last 15 years. Yet I was scammed in Cairo. Never thought it would happen to me. Met a man who said he worked at the museum, one thing lead to another. Next thing I knew I was in a shady shop in a room with fake oils that I bought for 200 US dollars. It all happened so fast. This happened in 2013 and I’m still trying to figure out what the hell happened, considering I’m a huge minimalist. lol
Great video. I spent a month in Egypt travelling around and for the most part people are extremely friendly and welcoming. However, certain people are definitely scammers, especially in Luxor. In less touristy parts of Egypt you will not find many scammers
Best advice I got before traveling to Egypt years ago (1998) – NEVER partake of any activity (including setting even a foot inside a taxi) until you arrive at a pre-arranged price. And expect to bargain hard.�Personal experience – on my traveling companion’s bucket list was to ride a camel at the pyramids. Although I had passed on the previous nugget of information to him, while I was wandering around taking photos and he wandered elsewhere, apparently one of the scammers talked him into camel rides for both of us. The next thing I know, here he comes jogging past me on his camel, swathed in Arab gear from head to toe, with another guy dressed in full Bedouin garb, followed by another camel ridden by it’s presumed owner, who proceeded to scoop me up onto the camel with him, wrap a headdress around my head, and off we went, trotting rapidly around the pyramids (this was at Gizeh, just at the outskirts of Cairo). After about a 15-20 minute ride, (and me shrieking in his ear for half of it to let me down, dammit), we were both deposited back on the sands, and I wandered off in a bit of a daze. My companion comes running up to me with a desperate look on his face and says “I don’t know what to do, he wants a hundred dollars (EACH!) for the ride!” I just started laughing, but my friend looked a bit terrified, apparently the guy was getting a bit belligerent about the fare. I asked my friend if he had pre-arranged a price and the guy was now trying to strong-arm him into paying this exorbitant amount. Nope. He admitted he hadn’t fixed a price before climbing on his camel. Yeesh, lol. So I go over to the guy, who looks extremely intimidating and immediately starts shouting at me that we owe him $200. I shouted back at him (seemed to be the lingua franca of the deal at that point) who the heck did he think we were and how dumb did we look and hell no we were not giving him $200, we didn’t even HAVE $200. He and I roared at each other for a few minutes and eventually arrived at $40 for both, which brought us in at around $20.00 per ride and we paid up. The cab driver on the ride home was shocked when we told him how much we paid, he said the going rate was about $7, but we considered the difference tuition and made sure not to make any similar mistakes again. I still have pictures of my friend on his camel, dressed in his finery. Makes me smile every time, so well worth the added expense.Hah, 20 years later, it’s kind of nice to know some things don’t change. Yeah. It’s definitely a ‘buyer beware’ situation in Egypt, lol.
Even Egyptians get scammed on daily basis … Unfortunately that’s our reality now … Sorry that you had to witness it and hoping that you will remember Egypt by its kind hearted people .. most of them are … God bless you Nick
On behalf of my parole, sorry for your hard time man. I know how annoying and persistent hassles can be in Egypt. I am a guy myself and I travel a lot, yet I was scammed big time in Bangkok. It happens everywhere.Thanks for visiting us. Hope you had a good time. And safe travels man
Sad that a lot of people are giving this a thumbs down…. some people just want to pretend that everything is perfect and not get real for a moment. But it’s important to talk about this stuff. The country where I experienced the most scammers was in Morocco. But with that being said, there were a lot of extremely friendly people there who would want to guide me around or show me things, and they didn’t expect any cash in return. Sadly though the scammers make it difficult to determine who is a friend and who just wants your money.
Thank you for a well intentioned video , I am Egyptian and confess to the bad things some of my fellow countrymen get up to with Tourists . Its bad for Tourism , and threatens one of our main hard currency income beside the Suez Canal and Oil . The Government should try and do more to protect Tourists and punish the scammers .
I’m really sorry that you had to go through this here in Egypt, I’m Egyptian myself, i have lived in Egypt my whole life and I’ve never traveled to another country abroad, and what you said is a 100% true, it’s not offensive at all, in fact I’m happy that you’re saying the truth and being honest about all of your experiences
