Ended up visiting (and drinking with) his many friends. Celebrated Christmas in a Moscow flat with all his friends and neighbors. I think no matter where in the world you go, when you set out on your own you'll end up meeting friendly and interesting people.

Spot on. It’s the true importance of what I call nature flow. Letting go of all the fears and illusions media and schooling of social cognitive dissonance can create to scare people into being afraid of new people. The thing to remember is we are all human living souls and often they will say poor countries are more dangerous or you can not trust such people, however I have discovered for myself the complete opposite , that in every case I witnessed, that they actually are more honest and caring and ethical to respecting others. In fact by fearing people or events you create and manifest a negative experience and it’s when action comes to reality shows what true or real person you are. It’s very nice to see there are some Americans who know about the nature flow of allowing life to be real and this makes you be wise. Living in the now moment. Letting go of all thoughts , every situation will work out just how it was destined and meant to be. I call this the sacred inevitable serendipity. ~E.G.Plott~

@@globallibran378 Yeah, I think what you mean. I'm guilty of watching pretty much all the stuff you mentioned. You know, there's a channel called "Police Activity." On this channel you can watch a person being killed by a cop, though sometimes a criminal shoots a cop dead. I sometimes watch this channel, even though I find it disgusting, to see someone die. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is why I watch people get shot is that I can watch it safely at home, from a safe distance, comfortably lying on the couch with a nice cup of coffee or tea. Nevertheless, something moves deep inside me while watching stuff like that, maybe it's humanity...at least I certainly hope so.

American living in the hills around Rio :) I also have never had issues. Since I'm a foreigner, I can get away with seemingly just about anything as long as filming/a phone isn't involved....I remained blissfully ignorant that a staircase here was forbidden for 4 years. I only found out after my local friend went up it with me and they decided to "give her permission" to use the staircase. They left me alone. Some areas here require you to stop, roll your windows down, and blink your lights before entering. I hear the stories of my coworkers, who live in favelas, and I can respect why people have fear as the same "nice" people I've probably passed on the street may have executed brutal community justice the other day.

@Burger Kang God sent me, to be blunt. I had everything in the US - rich family, possibility at cushy government job, private school, traveled the world. At 17, I was getting into my car and thinking about how still, I was unsatisfied. I heard a voice say "You'll never be satisfied until you give me 100%." I knew it was God but still didn't hand my life over. 8 years later, Jesus found me again and when I realized what He had to give, I left it all. He called me to the addicts/street kids here around Niterói. 0 regrets - the joy of getting to share Him makes everything else seem like nothing.

It's all about your attitude whether you are in danger or not. When you are open and friendly, so are most people. Many Americans go to other countries with a superior attitude, so they don't have such a friendly time. Tommy, I wish more people would represent Americans the way you do.

[@GustavoCLa]

That's not the issue. There are normal people (98%?) and there are criminals (2%?). Normal people may like you or not but they'll not try to rob you each way. Criminals will try to rob you regardless of whether you are friendly or not. In fact, if you are friendly, they'll try to exploit your perceived naiveté. Yes, if you are friendly, (normal) people will be friendlier to you but the issue of safety - whether someone will point a gun at you to try to get your phone - is a different matter. It's all about money, nothing to do with ideology or antiamericanism.

They speak in an unatural way, like bad actors do. Also, note how at the end he says "you are suposse to keep going". They didn't actually split up after he stoped filming.

Oy, Tommy ! Thanks for a tour of the 'hood. Wasn't sure what to think/expect with this videos title. A visually pleasant kidnapping you experienced, although the ladies parted company rather abruptly having had had their drinks. Of course we don't know what you might have edited out ! 🥴 It amazes me how you have the gonads to throw caution to the wind (sort of ), tread where most "Americanos" haven't, and are so well accepted. You're gifted in the way you relate to others. Thanks, man. Be safe. Wishing you and all viewers a Happy Easter !!

I walked around Rio by myself late at night in the Ipanema area, no problems. I wasn't afraid, but I was careful and aware of my surroundings, also took cabs, but I spent almost a week in Rio by myself, but met fun people. I had friends in Sao Paolo, but arrived there alone and made my way to a friend's apartment. The doorman already knew all about me and had the key ready when I walked up to him. I also went out one day by myself and came beack before dark, but wandered around a lot in the daytime near Placa de Republica for shopping. A friend lived in Edificio Copan, and my best friend lived in Pineros in a beautiful home, like Beverly Hills. I love Brasil.

I feel like the reason this guy's videos are so good is because the vlogging isn't the main attraction, he's going to travel whether or not he vlogs it and thats why his videos are so good because you can tell he genuinely loves to travel and learn languages and see new cultures and the vlogging is just like a secondary thing for the viewers. you can tell this guy isn't doing it for any fame or anything, there's no fancy camera angles and drones and music and intros, it's just a good old fashioned vlog

@PremoMeztiso actually they were trying to take him to a trap. Their “boyfriends” are local cartel members (probably members of a smaller set of the cartel, but still dangerous, considering the #1 leader is currently being held at that State’s federal penitentiary), which means they thought it would be wise to kidnap and rob a gringo with a camera. He’s still too innocent... and a thing that made it very obvious to me was when the most beautiful lady said she was from Santarém/PA and that they ate açaí with milk and fruits, while the truth is that in the vast majority of Pará we absolutely despise the way people consume açaí in other states, which is all that bs of adding sweet stuff to it.

Being kidnapped by other kids from your hometown who made up a supremely sophisticated method of following someone all that way, to sell and to get rid of them. Attempted murder, destruction of self respect of another human, they must have had a criminal background in human trafficking to have such connections to where they took me in the baggage compartment. And why were they pulling who was sold along in the jungle to the plane? They had sold me, so for not stopping the joke at any moment and letting me go to my brother at a school by a boat that was coming the next day was stupid of them and its their own fault. Doing time in prison for their illegal act especially of someone who was obeying the great commission to take the gospel into all the world and maybe going to do some Bible translation help is what the minister and his gang should have been doing themselves. They were not obedient to God to go into all the world for the sake of the gospel, so their punishment should be however many years in prison the judge in the court gives any of them who can be caught. They lived wasted lives in my hometown, drinking and partying for 40 years.

Here is what happened to my friend in Brazil: He went into a dangerous Favela in Rio De Janeiro and a woman took him deep up these stairs into a mountain up high. Then, the sun went down and he had to walk back down alone. My friend is whiter than the whitest guy you can imagine. On his way back down in a mostly black neighborhood to his hotel he was robbed. They took his camera, his wallet, his comb, his pants, his shoes, his shirt, his socks and stuck a carrot up his A^^. He started yelling for help and they ran away. Someone turned on the lights in their yard and saw my friend on the ground naked with the carrot sticking out. The owner of the house got him a pair of pants and a t-shirt and spoke a little English and put my friend in his car and drove him back to the hotel. My friend bought a plane ticket a few hours later and left the country immediately. I'm not saying this will happen with every tourist. I'm just saying be careful.
