Venezuela is one of the most dangerous countries in the world… but it’s also one of the most beautiful. I was lucky enough to recently spend 2 full weeks there - from Caracas to Chuao - traveling alongside my local friend Emmanuel. This video is a full-length documentary about our trip. I dig deep into the economic crisis to tell you why a Big Mac costs $17 Million Venezuelan Bolivares and how the minimum wage is $1 USD per month. I explore stunning fishing villages along the Caribbean coast, meet the most hospitable and down-to-earth people, and try delicious food (AREPAS!). I enter the most dangerous slum in the world called Petare, and I also show you what the luxury side of Venezuela looks like.
Join me in this incredible documentary, that gives you a unique look at the good, the bad and the ugly of my favorite country in Latin American nation.
THIS IS VENEZUELA.

Drew, between the time you went to Venezuela over a year ago and now, Venezuela is a very different country. It is now two completely stories. Now the US dollar is the "formal" currency and every one uses it to pay for everything. The economic situation in the past year has changed significantly, to the extent that all multinational worldwide financial institutions are saying that Venezuela will be the country with the largest economic growth in Latin America in 2023. Inflation has basically ceased with the US dollar being now the "formal" currency. Hardly anyone now uses the local currency to make any payments. And best news is that for whatever reason, Venezuela has bettered significantly in security. Watch recent videos to confirm what I am writing here. You will always be welcome in Venezuela! 🇻🇪 🇺🇲

Venezuela is a beautiful country with a lovely, colorful population and I wish the best for them and their country. Here in the US, most of us take our stability, prosperity, and freedoms for granted, they fail to understand how fragile and unique such things are. Venezuela is, sadly, an example of how quickly and thoroughly a people's fortunes and freedoms can slip away, and the struggle of life afterwards. Life, Liberty, and prosperity should never be taken for granted, most people will never have them and for those that do and lose them, it is unlikely they will ever get them back , at least not in one lifetime. I pray you all will find peace and prosperity, and the good health and freedom to enjoy them.

I also can drive anywhere because of the autopistas there 😂 Back then if you stopped at a red light when nobody else was around you would be honked at by the car behind you and they would drive around you 😂 A bolivar back then was like a quarter and it would cost 1 or 2 bolivars to take an air conditioned bus to the beach.

I have been binge watching your vids all morning while working remotely.. I gotta tell you I didn't want this video to end it was so good.. Thank you. I feel as if I took this trip with you guys.. Amazing content.

[@migovasquez0303]

I am Filipino-American and I love Latin America. Recently visited Ecuador for more than 2 weeks. I love your Venezuela episode. I love how authentic your video especially describing and communing with locals:) Please keep doing great videos. My dream to visit Salto Angel one day. Greetings from Seattle, Washington

May God help the poor people of Venezuela. The girl's smile in 53:52 was precious. Greetings from Israel.

[@NateandEli]

Thank you, Drew. Like many others, I probably would never get the chance to visit these places in my lifetime. But thanks for sharing with us the next best thing. You didn't just publish a video; you shared beautiful stories about life in Venezuela.

[@pewpewTN]

This has been fantastic. I'm not even halfway into the video & it's already been the best I've ever seen about Venezuela.

[@samratchattopadhyay3057]

Drew is a brave man. Exploring Venezuela needs courage. Keep going bro. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@yraidagildez479]

Sooo true

[@mariobucci7683]

Wow you just hit the root of happiness, health, shelter , and food, and friends that care, also family, and contentment, The rest is not important.

[@tektako]

Except a LOT of people don’t have even that

[@SwellerVanDweller]

I've been to a lot of challenging places, and I really wanted to visit Venezuela this winter, but I just couldn't get the courage to do it alone without any connections.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

Yeah you really need to have a local to keep you safe and show you the best part of the country. I'd love to visit too but considering it's so hard to get a visa and the state of the country getting worse everyday, I don't think it's worth going

[@FilipinoMusicians]

Shortest 2 hrs of my life. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure.

[@johnyg1939]

Wow, Drew! Haven't watched it yet, but looking at the length, I respect you even more! Keep on the good work man!

[@anioevsoccer]

I live in a suburb of New York City. I drive an electric car. I have almost every comfort a person can ask. (I’m not rich). If I lived in Venezuela, in similar circumstances, I would undoubtedly be poorer. Watching this reminds me of how blessed I am to live in the best economy and country in the world - USA!

[@thepowerofyourvoicepodcast]

Excellent video as always Drew. I have watched your videos now for over a year. This is a great journey through Venezuela. It's really awesome that you had Emmanuel to take you through the entire country and that you got to experience so much with the locals, that is what it is all about. It is crazy to think how people live there on $1 USD a month, especially considering many of the things you purchased were about 1-2 each. It seems like the vast majority of people in Venezuela are naturally born-entrepreneurs. When you purchased those glasses for $5 off that guy, that may have been his first sale the entire week. Thanks for sharing.

[@2signalman]

Excellent documentary! He goes to show you that people want the same thing all over the world! And it is government's and corrupt politicians that are the problem not the people. Good work!

[@nikolai5867]

Venezuela looks very lovely, Drew☺️! Hope things get better there.

[@samirSch]

It won't. Not while narcosocialists are in power, as they keep the populace miserable on purpose, so they don't have enough power to revolt.

[@ginabrown3018]

Wow. Just found you inadvertently at the end of another video and I'm blown away. It's 5am and I haven't been to sleep yet but have to watch this video

[@AlisonAZ]

Thank you this. I have not been in Venezuela since the 70s. It was a very prosperous country in those days, I have lots of family there. I'd love to visit sometime - maybe when it is less complicated.

[@samirSch]

It was the 4th GPD per capita in the 60's. They were 4x richer than Japan. By the 90's they were still very rich, and it took 10 years for socialism to ruin it all.

[@Xestra37490]

Th best thing the local people own heir own land. They may seem to lack but they own the best Realstate location and enjoy nature. It’s incredibly beautiful

[@guidance_yan4410]

Thank you for compiling your Venezuelan vids. Watched some of the individual episodes last and early this year. My dad originated from Maracay, Vnzl. I'm living in the Philippines, my mom's country, for several years now💜

[@rubetube4727]

That pancake corn cheese pork sandwich is one of the best, tastiest thing that I have ever tasted. Amazing meal.

[@eleanor4482]

Thank you so much for this video as it was so educational and engaging. I have never watched a video for two hours. Your tour guide was awesome. Amazing to see how happy those folks are despite having so little. That beach was exceptional. Thanks for sharing.😎

[@drewbinsky]

Thank you!!

[@RealdealSkip]

As a 24 year old man in the USA thank you for the videos! A lot of Americans have no idea how amazing South America even is! These vlogs really open there eyes🙏🏻

[@FloridaFlipFlops]

Hello from Naples, Florida. Wow, can't believe what you went through for a visa. We enjoyed watching. Thank you so much for sharing this part of the world with us. 💯

[@pixel_game_squad]

Congratulations you have been selected for my give Dm to claim your prizes 🎉.🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@juanchovl]

Hey Drew, thanks for this video. Glad you met Gabo, which I had the chance to meet on a photography workshop a few years ago. Glad you enjoyed our country. I left almost six years ago and it is impressive how things have changed. I was lucky enough for my dad to take me to every single state when I was growing up. His saying goes as: better know your country first before abroad. I'm thankful for that. Hope you can go back and document further!

[@massi2388]

im from maracaibo, venezuela. i moved to the US in 2011. it is so infuriating what the government has done to destroy the economy. i hope one day things will get better.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

I hope so too but I also fear it will only get exponentially worse from here as it has in other countries, unless something drastic changes. I hope I'm wrong.

[@ninaaden8338]

The 1 percent rich elite narcotraffickers destroyed Venezuela to the ground.

[@KhalessTheTherapist]

He was the best guide I seen so far..so knowledgeable about Venezuela..make you feel like you are there..I been hooked on this channel and subscribed because these are places and travel I always wanted to do..

[@byronjordan6882]

Thank you drew for this video. I'm glad you were able to go there. I lived my childhood days in Venezuela. My father worked in the oil industry there. We loved that country so much. It 😢 me to see what has happened to that country. When we lived there Venezuela was doing very well.

[@scatter-vision21]

I couldn't see anyone better doing these documentary's better you are amazing the way you connect with people and places..

[@joshcardin2783]

Caracas is huge....I love the food...the music and the people.
