Inside Nicaragua’s Cocaine Hub!🇳🇮 (Bluefields)

Bluefield is literally the most interesting place I've seen so far in Nicaragua! Everyone told me it's a different world for so many reasons. It is located in the eastern part of Nicaragua and until recently (late 2019), there was no road access to Bluefields from the west coast of Nicaragua. That's why so many people haven't visited it yet.
Plus, it's one of the very few places in Central America where the locals speak English better than Spanish. That’s crazy when you think about it!
I also had people telling me about the dangers of Bluefield from a drug standpoint. To be honest, I had literally forgotten about it until I started editing this video. This when I did some additional research and saw a few articles that mentioned all the bad sides of Bluefield and called it the drug hub of Nicaragua.
That's why I used the exact same title to show you what a random Greek tourist discovered in this controversial Nicaraguan City!
Let’s explore Bluefields 🔥

Anyone who wants to visit Nicaragua one day must definitely visit Bluefields!! I will never forget this place. It's so freaking unique! My title was stolen from an article I found that was only pushing the bad side of Bluefileds. I used it because it will make the drama-news lovers to click it and although they will be disappointed by the video context, I know they will feel the positive side of Bluefields and this exactly what I'm indirectly trying to push!! 🇳🇮 🙏🏼

[@scottmccutcheon9828]

Tim, GREETINGS from far west Texas! New sub. Found your channel by way of Volpe (Carlos Volpe). You're cranking out some AMAZING content! Like you, I don't like the "resorts" and "touristy" places. Instead preferring to live among regular everyday people and experiencing their regular everyday lives. As I've seen you say in so many of your vlogs, as I watch/listen, IT'S REAL MAN! Regarding your comment on "racism" I cannot agree with you more. We are ALL human beings and "racism" should not exist! That said, I cannot help but add that all of us ought be aware of the "fountain" of it. The overwhelming majority of it comes from academia and "govern - ment". Perhaps you are already aware, the word "govern - ment" when etymologically translated from it's original Latin means "to control the mind.". Thus "govern - ment" (and it's attendant academia) foments and perpetuates "racism" as a control mechanism, as a means of ensuring continuity of "govern - ment", which, especially, in our present day is filled with nefarious as souls. Simply look at the overwhelming majority of U.S. political parasites, E.U. political parasites and the unelected political parasites that are a majority in NGOs such as the U.N. and many others. I am of firm belief that if "govern - ment" (ALL of them, everywhere) was far, far smaller, "racism" would simply disappear. I've travelled enough of the Earth to know this firsthand, particularly in the more remote places. My own experience everywhere I've travelled shows me that most people simply want to be left alone (meaning little or no "govern - ment" intervention/intrusion) and live their lives in peace, voluntarily interacting with their neighbors. Perhaps you're already aware of all these things? Keep doing what you're doing Tim. IMO, you're channel has no where to go but straight up! ¡Gracias por todo, Tim! y, Por la vida, Hermano!

I am from Bluefields, but I been living in the US for 38 years , so happens that I came across your video with your visit to Bluefields , I go back to Nicaragua all the Time but Bluefields is nothing compared to what it use to be before. More crowded ,more crime a bit dirtier yet it is my hometown and I love it.

Thank you for highlighting Bluefieds Nicaragua it is a beautiful place, the food is called rundown, wish mean that its boiled down until everything is well cooked, it's made of of beef or fish with malanga,banano yucca,platano, or anything else you want to add to it in coconut milk, with your preferred seasoning. There's nothing to fear, the people are very kind , honest and clean, they are so happy to meet people from other places, they would give you the clothes off their back to accommodate you. The less people have, the more humble and kind they are, the more we have the more bigoted and dishonest we become.

[@D33Lux]

I think when people suffer, they know the hardships and pain. They want in their hearts for others not to go through the same thing, so they take the burden off the shoulders of their fellow man, its truly honourable for those who live in this manner. They are their brothers keepers. Powerful to see this level of kindness, they have so little and ready to help others. I'm sorry to say, people in richer parts of the world wouldn't stop to help you if you're lost, the materialism, selfish nature blocks their hearts.

[@Hayai_]

Truth to that statement but also to the other side. Poverty causes crime because it's an end to a means, it is best to not have rose-tinted glasses in 3rd world countries, as beautiful as Nicaragua is.

[@PherPhur]

Well that's sort of a major aspect of getting rich usually. Money is the opposite of love, it's not doing something out of the kindness of your heart, it's "I give you this and you do or give me that". It's why Jesus just straight up said if you love God you hate money and if you love money you hate God, because the Old Testament says "God is love" and money is in opposition to one of the most basic foundational truths of what love means.

[@doug941]

One Love! Great video Timmy! Thank you for introducing us to this magical place!

[@docdurdin]

Timmy, there is a big lie about racism in America. I am French and American Indian ( Cherokee ) but most here would consider me white although I stay very tanned color. You can't have mixed races living together for 400 years and say there are white people as there are very few are pure Europeans in America anymore. Racism is a state of mind and culture which clash from misconceptions and is fueled by jealousy and envy. Some of those you meet are kind and genuine while others will kill you because they think you are rich and privileged. If we can ever walk among each other and accept that we are all different but the same, that would be a utopia. Until then there will be wars and rumors of wars by those who want to take instead of work for their own. Much love and peace to you brother

Isn't creole a mix of indigenous, negro and french? The lawyer fisherman said the English colonized there. Maybe French came later on. I though creole people were only in southern U.S. Louisiana. The world is full of some many different things.
