God damnit, you're one of the few KZbinrs who I feel has such a genuine love for the art of storytelling. In an age where clickbait, short form content is dominating and audiences are lowering their attention spans, I really hope you keep this up. You've no idea just how inspiring this all is.

A word of warning to anyone thinking about going to the Amazon Jungle. Be ready for your life to change. The jungle itself is a place of magic, it will slip into your soul and make you happy to be alive in that place, you're no longer at the top of the food chain which is interesting too. The jungle, the rivers, the wildlife, the millions of things who live there are incredible, but even more, the people who call it home, they are truly amazing. They invite you into their homes and hearts. They want to teach you about that incredible place. If you go to their home with a good, open heart they will care for you and protect you, you are their student, they want you to pass and come back in a higher class for more lessons. In 1994 I went to the Peruvian Amazon, planning only one trip, now almost 30 years on I have 35+ trips, I was adopted by a family and at 77 years I have a few more trips to make. Go there with an open heart, be ready to love it's people, it's jungle and be prepared to be loved in return. Good for you Luke, have fun with life and keep this stuff up.

What a wholesome video. As a Brazilian myself, I can’t imagine how you got around on those situations without knowing the language. This video made me happier and more inspired than I was 10 minutes and 24 seconds ago

[@CatharticCreation]

is it helpful he speaks spanish though as the languages are similar.

[@kd1228]

@@CatharticCreation I grew up in the amazon region, it's quieter here than many people imagine. People are hospitable and willing to help you. And spanish is not similar to portuguese. A word here and another there, that's all. But we struggle to understand.

[@danyistyping]

I find it pretty interesting how you managed to look after those children despite the language barrier. Even if it was difficult, it looked like a success to me.

[@YourFellowArab]

your videos let me feel raw emotion that other youtubers can't capture. keep it up Luke.

[@ac4019]

I am brazilian and this video really touched me, it reminded me how special and diverse it is our country ❤️ unfortunately, as you can see by the video, the region of the Amazon (North Brazil) is really poor and they suffered a lot during the pandemic, this region has never been a government priority, so it lacks investment in health and education.

[@andersongodoy1927]

Unfortunately it’s the reality.

[@chansetwo]

My dad visited Brazil in his mid-20's during the early 1950's. 50 years later he was still talking about the adventures he had in the Amazon, at the Carnival, etc, etc. It was a life changing experience for him.

[@Jezzrichjames]

Whoa…this short documentary was stunning. I know that Luke is an incredibly talented KZbinr who is able to convey a level of genuine emotion that is incredibly difficult to find, and I’m amazed how each video gets better, with better videography, better graphics/animations, better immersion and amazingly, better storytelling. My favorite part of this film was that Luke was able to not only show his journey through his own eyes, but to do so in such a personal and genuine way. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

[@leticiamariagoncalvesfigue7618]

as a brazilian, this is one of the most amazing and heartwarming videos i've ever watched about our country, it's so beautiful the way you showed everything and embodied the experience, it just made me want to go amazon even more since i haven't been able to do so myself yet. i hope you were capable to feel the love and warmth that our people always have to give.

[@lauratkk]

i'm from brazil but ive been living in argentina for about 1 year. i feel soooo homesick!!!! and here i am crying after watching this AMAZING documentary. you showed just a little bit of what its to live in brazil. its such a big country so you can imagine that the diversity its HUGE. hope you get the oportunity to visit other states! you sure gonna love it more than you already do :)

[@edisone.7212]

Tomada também pela saudade do Brasil, seu comentário com certeza aproximou-se de fato da intenção de Luke ao buscar mergulhar na selva amazônica. Ele viu e sentiu o que desejou. Vi comentários de brasileiros equivocados, reduzindo a região a uma "pobreza simplista", sabemos que a condição e as questões que envolvem a Amazônia são muito mais complexas. Boa estadia e sucesso em sua temporada na Argentina!

[@janseb6750]

One thing I love about these films is that I can feel they were made solely to capture moments and experiences and that you actually want to travel to see the world and connect with people, not just make videos. You're living the life Luke!

This was amazing. Even with the language barrier and unfamiliar experiences you did all that. The kids part, dang you really tried to be a teacher 😂 it was great. Taking care of kids is hard and you did ur best which is more then they can ask for. So much love and appreciation in this video. Loved it all. The humanity was precious. All love to everyone in this video. Nice to always see a Luke Korn Video ❤

[@humberto6317]

I was there. I used to live in Manaus. You did a great job on this video. You are a poet with words and images. Beautiful short story. I have 3 friends that did what you did and they got lost in the jungle. It took 3 days for the locals to find them. They were going in circles and they didn't know it. I am from Brazil and I live in New Orleans now. New Orleans has a taste of Brazil. The good thing is that you didn't get lost. Glad you made it alive. 🙂

How I remember that I subscribed to your channel when you were learning Spanish with Andy, how nostalgic that was

Luke taking after his parents. A chip off of his block. (or - Can a toy teach kids) most of those kids are young boys. I've heard its best to give them a break to run and stretch for a minute. Maybe a routine would help. But those kids and many others who interact with Luke are so sweet and like him. 🥰so cute and wholesome. Luke gets initiated into Amazonia tribe (like, how much does he belong to now?) don't go in the water alone; practically every animal is edible, beware of poisonous creatures, be humble & Kind.

[@George_Macaulay]

I get to the end of your videos and wonder how they are only 10 minutes long - so much always happens. You have such a way of packing so much in, yet maintaining a pace that allows all the right moments to breathe. I volunteered in the Amazon in Bolivia 7 years ago and weirdly one of my favourite days was roaming around by myself for 6 hours looking for a howler monkey who hadn't returned from his walk. Climbed a lot of big trees, saw some nice things and fortunately only encountered wild monkeys and not jaguars on that day. The charity I was working at is exactly the kind of place I bet you'd love. Such an amazing variety of people from all over the world with seemingly nothing in common, yet with no one else to talk to for weeks or months on end, hence forming an amazing family. The whole place needs to run itself so everyone chips in. I really did feel deep within the Amazon. I hope I get to go back one day...
