"It's Dangerous Outside, Come In My House!" 🇧🇷 (

I had come to Salvador in Northeast Brazil, a famous yet often overlooked part of the country. My plan was simple: I would rent a car and drive through the region, getting to know the real Brazil along the way. But before that, I had to explore Salvador, a city with an unfortunate reputation of being the most dangerous in the country.
What I found in the favelas that day shocked me, but not in the way I expected..

@@tubester4567 I know what you say is true and I got robbed in the Seychelles. I have left bars when I think I’m going to get jumped, by some locals in Thailand (muay Thai), I’ve had racist comments made to me (Taiwan) when the boys are buzzing on betel nut in the back blocks, but I don’t react. Still over all, I hold that most people are mostly good. Stuff can go down anywhere, anytime, local or foreigner in any country that’s true. I’m from New Zealand a country that is ‘safe’, but people still get robbed and worse. It’s a luck/karma thing, but also don’t be dumb. Sabbatical has a really good way about him, he glides in and out of all sorts because he’s not an ahole and that will take you a long way with most people, and that is exactly why this kind woman is giving him the heads up.

The formation of beach dunes is a complex geological process that includes a combination of just the right amount of sediment, rainfall and constant wind action. What is more interesting is that at least some of the sand in those dunes actually originated in the Sahara and was blown over by trans Atlantic wind currents. There's more of Africa in Brazil than you taught!

[@SabbaticalTommy]

Now that's the comment I was looking for!

[@Jeancarvalho153]

Just to add some info, these dune fields can't be considered deserts, they're just costal dunes. In a nutshell they are formed by accumulation of sand carried from the beach to the continent by the wind blown from the ocean. I hope you enjoy my country 🇧🇷

[@HF22-]

Morocco especially around Agadir has some of the best sand dunes I’ve seen

[@westho7314]

Dunes are always amazing especially being a landform popping up in the tropics. Many Pacific Islands that are volcanic in nature have black mountains, black rocks & black sand on the beaches , Occasionally you will cross an odd white sand beach, which for a long time made me curious of how the white sand got there when most all the other beaches on an island had black sand, come to find out that whenever you find a white sand beach on a black volcanic island good chances if go out into the shallows just outside of tidal waters you'll find a long established habitat of marine life, coral reefs or a profusion of Shelled crabs & Crustaceons or both, the broken down shells & coral are the sole source of the sand and its alot brighter white than usual white sand erodes out from the shorelines & rivers in to the ocean that create most beaches, where as on a black sand beach the tidal zones will likely no established reefs or habitat for bottom critters.

*Yeah, it's been a while since you uploaded your last video, I thought if you were already home in the US. But it's good to see you back, the lady was very nice and humble. It's good to see you didn't encounter any gang members. I am waiting for the next episode... Stay safe... and yes i am wondering if you are going to be abducted again by a girl or a woman.* 😍 *Watching from Pakistan* 🇵🇰

You've been practicing your Portuguese, I see! Great stuff, Tommy!

Another great vlog , I could watch you walk around the way you do all day. Great how you speak the languages and people think that's great. Keep tge great vlogs coming. You do a very different style and it works.

Idk but heard the African influence there is Angolan/Congo not Nigeria why you might not have seen that in Nigeria? If any Nigerian influence it would be yoruba but it is Congo/ Angolan

Got to say there is no rubbish in flavela, quite well maintained compared to crap people discard in my area of London

What a beautiful soul this woman has. God bless her for her help and hospitality. 🙏🏼

Your Português is good, Tommy !! I would like to know if your (considerable, good) ability comes from you knowing Spanish first, trusting in cognates, and learning-and then using-pronunciation differences. Sometimes-often-I’ve met an American ‘know-it-all’ that knows some Spanish, and then acts and speaks overconfident with Brazilian Português, and that’s kinda ‘cringe.’ But you don’t do that… [you do good (well) man !! 🇧🇷🙌🇺🇸
