Caught in Dangerous Protest in Haiti (lawless) 

⭕ *Thank you for watching and taking interest in the unfolding events that Haiti is facing.* Every day that I have spent in Haiti has included multiple adrenaline fuelled moment. I really feel for the people of this nation, what they have to face everyday is unfathomable. Stay up to date with my movements here: instagram.com/indigo.traveller/

I feel like Haiti has been the most captivating series, thus far, because you don't hear about it too much on international news outlets. Haiti's problems are for the most part ignored and swept under the rug, while the media cherry picks what they find profitable. If it wasn't for independent journalists like Nick, and a small handful of others, we wouldn't have the smallest idea of what's really happening in Haiti, and other countries across the globe. Stay safe, Nick. God bless you, and bless the people of Haiti 🇭🇹

Sean is a superhero. He carries himself in such a way that he has totally control of the situation and would be the first to lend a helping hand.

I must say that Sean has a very, very trained prefrontal cortex given the situations he deals with on the daily. His resilience is on another level. Bless this man

I've never done this before, i don't have a lot of money but i believe in what you do and I'm so invested in this series and everything you do!

I think making a fundraiser for Sean (or shaun) would be a neat idea. This guy deserves it. He really helps you and he's an honest and down to earth kind of guy it seems.

Sean deserve an award. Protect Sean at all cost. I would love to give him a love offering because he deserves it.

I am so happy you met Desulme. I had been buying his art for years. He is an amazing artist and he seems to have a message or lesson in each piece. It made me so happy to see he is ok.

I feel like this Haiti series is going to be a very hard series to top after this. This series has been one of the most intriguing, eye opening series that I’ve seen. The people you meet who talk to you about their experiences are so captivating. Sean has been such a wonderful guide and I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Sean is a good mediator, his ability to resolve things in an intense situation is just extraordinary. Huge respect Sir, you are amazing, admirable.

My dad moved back to Haiti a couple weeks ago and everyone tried to tell him not to go but he wouldn’t listen. He just loves that country so much and would rather be there instead of the US which I will never understand Thankfully he lives 2 hours outside the capital so it’s not wild like this but it still dangerous. Everyday my siblings and my mother are worrying about him and it’s been especially tough on mom. My dad does lots of work for his community and wanted to be there to do even more work which I respect 100%. He’s always been a man that would give up his last dollar to help. He’s a wonderful man and I ask that you all keep him in your prayers. He has an organization down there doing work and if you like to donate let me know. I can reach out to him to get the info on how to donate. Even a few dollars helps. His organization was able to raise about $3k to send close to 60 children to school for the year. If you don’t feel comfortable giving to him it’s okay but find a way to help someone out there. It’s not Haiti only suffering. So many ppl throughout the world are suffering even in this country. If you are watching a video like this I would assume you have empathy so show empathy to all humans and try to help anyway you can. Nothing is too small for someone who has nothing. One love ❤

I am a missionary here in Haiti and married to a national, and I can tell you this series definitely depicts the goings-on. I am sharing these on Facebook so people know how Haitians are living daily. Thank you Nick and Sean for your bravery.

As a foreign-born Haitian, I’m emotional watching this because my early memories of Haiti before 2010 is not the same Haiti we see now. I appreciate that you are giving a raw, unedited image of what’s happening in Haiti.

I don't think I've ever seen you quite as on edge and distressed as you clearly are in this video. Nick, you are an inspiration. Very few people in my country (UK) have any concept of what is going on in Haiti. But you've brought it alive for us - the world can't look the other way. Thank you for what you do.

Sean is the proof that Haiti still have a future. Their are great people in even the worst of communities.

Sean is probably the reason why Nick can still upload youtube videos. Even sitting across the world in front of my screen, i can feel that its real intense.

Sean seems like such an amazing guy. You can see the both the sadness and love he feels for Haiti when he talks about his country. It's sad to see how bad things have become in Haiti. Sean has really touched me. I hope things in Haiti can somehow improve for him and the people of that country.

You put so much on the line to get this footage out there, your journalism is unmatchable. Please keep up the good work but most importantly stay safe! From your neighbour in Australia ❤🇦🇺

Hey Nick, what can we as a community do for Sean? I feel obligated to help him as these videos would clearly not be possible without him.

This Haiti series has been absolutely brilliant and enthralling. Depressing and shocking certainly, but also seeing people like Sean and the artist trying to do their best in such awful circumstances is really heartening.

Thank you for doing this series. I live in the central plateau of Haiti and we don’t get to see what’s happening in Port since we can’t travel there. We merely hear of it. I’m sharing this with many. Prayers to you as I KNOW you’re literally risking your life to report on the humanitarian crisis here. If you need anything while you’re here, let me know.

I'm so glad you have someone like Sean to help and keep you safe Nick. It's just so sad to see how these people live.

Nick, i know shooting this series was really hard for you but i gotta say these videos showcase your journalism skills better than any series that you have done before. I never knew Haiti was this dangerous or lawless until i saw your videos, because there is literslly no news outlet that tlaks anout the situation in that country, it almost feels like they have abonded by the world. So thank you so much for bringing light into issues of Haiti. And i hope you are feeling much better emotianlly right now. (Also as always big gratitude to Sean and his communication skills)

Being from the Caribbean, and having spent most of my 15-year-old life, there, it shocked me beyond belief, that this kind of thing is happening near hundreds of miles away from where I used to live. Thanks for doing what you do, and entertaining us along the way. You are a true legend.

First of all, I want to thank you for having had the courage to go out and record under those various stressful and depressing circumstances. I hope you'll get to rest a bit before your next destination because it will be needed for your mental health. I'm Haitian. The last three years and a half have been like hell. A lot of your audience lives abroad and many of your viewers have been concerned for you and the people of Haiti, the situation has gotten to this point because of lack of governance and corruption for decades. I also want to add that the international community like the US hasn't been an ally. Those guns that starving gang members are holding are worth thousands. Those guns are released through ports and distributed. Clearly, the sorrow of Haiti is the fruit of many corrupted minds who have one mission really: exploit, destroy and keep Haiti at the mercy of international foreign aid. I ask every single one of you to help however you can by donating to trusted organizations, sending good positive thoughts, buying goods from Haitian artists. I saw that many of you would like to support Sean which is great but please don't advertise it too much online for his own safety. Finally, I wish you all the best Nick on your future travels. I'm so sorry that you didn't have the opportunity to explore some of our magnificent beaches and countryside towns. Until one day when things are better. Peace!

Sean is an icon, what a series this has been!

When you leave MAKE SURE sean/shaun gets a good reward man...He has looked out for you every time when he could have just pocketed some money and ditched and let you be kidnapped. And good on you too indigo, Some insanely brave content man.

Your guide is a most valuable asset. I also admire how he doesn't lie to you, and when things are too disturbing he only says" I can't talk about that", yes, those are human bones, and very likely baby parts, yes, baby's remains and other awful, unmentionable things. Keep safe, Godspeed.

This makes me so angry, sad, and anxious all at the same time. Your tension during filming was palpable. Thank you for your courage, diligence, and empathy. This is important work.

This Haiti series has been insane. Sean is honestly a legend, simply amazing how he conducts himself. And excellent reporting and superb journalism by Nick as usual. Stay safe guys.

As a Dominican American , i really feel saddened by the fact that we both share the same island and live drastically different realities . The fact there’s no sight of change or being on the path of positive trajectory it’s truly a tragedy. Hopefully one day ill be able to visit a a prosperous and glorious Haiti .

“Quite the challenge to find anything that’s not terrifying or depressing” dang nick. We all appreciate you for doing this. Expert journalism

Sean is one of the coolest friends you have featured yet. I love his calm and stoic nature. I greatly respect and enjoy your work. I hope you have many exciting adventures ahead of you.

This series has been insane, the danger you put yourself into to get this videos out is insane! Thanks for doing this and making content. And showing the world about Haiti!

People like you and Sean must be protected at all costs. Thank you for all the emotional turmoil you have endured in order to show us a Nation that is truly silenced through most media outlets.

Having lived in Nigeria as a foreigner for 9 years as a kid/teen, I've felt the anxiety that you mention. There is always a chance of bad things happening especially if you aren't a native. Have you considered carrying photocopies of your passport first and last page? Might help with the cops vs carrying nothing.

I love the work that Sean is doing. We need more people like him in this world.

I just want to say, this Haiti series has been the best youtube content I have watched, I bet you and Sean will get some kind of journalist award for this, you two deserve it!

I can't imagine you haven't been offered $$$ to bring your talent to some kind of news organization so I simply want to say THANK YOU for keeping it real through all these years. It speaks volumes to the sincerity of your mission to show the world as it truly is.

I can't watch this without a steady supply of tissues. Honestly. Thank you for your work and bravery, your guide is amazing as well and incredibly humanizes the situation for most of us, who only get news about Haiti from headlines of major news corporations.

Makes me feel even more grateful and privileged to be from New Zealand bro, showing the world how it really is in countries like hati while letting us know your barely scratching the surface with what really goes down. Its a real eye opener

Hi nick thanks for these videos about Haiti. I live in Montreal Quebec’s province, French speaking province so you see a lot of Haitians here trying to survive and have a better life and help their families. Send you hugs. Take care!

sean is an amazing dude, he is a glimmer of light in a country that is in complete turmoil undercover footage or google glasses would make for some incredible footage, obviously not feasible but would be really something to see those interactions

Hello! I’m a Filipino, currently living here in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, I love your videos and I really admire your courage to film these type of stories. God bless you!

This is truely the most cruel and heartbreaking society I have ever seen. I can't even imagine living in a world like this. I wish stability comes to Haiti and to the lives of people like Sean

Nick, you are restoring my faith in journalism and in basic, simple, non emphatic kindness. And coming from me, as someone who is truly disgusted by mainstream media, this really is a compliment. As for Sean....what can I say? I am speechless. He is fighting a personal war against all odds. If that's not heroism, I don't know what is.

I would’ve been on the plane back the next day. You’ve got balls of steel. It’s unbelievable that you’ve managed to stay as long as you have.

As someone who has traveled to intense places, the advice I would give is to arrive in Haiti with many photocopies of your passport so that you can at least show the police something if you are stopped. The choices are not between your real passport or nothing. Photocopies are usually a good stop-gap.

Sean seems like such a cool and amazing dude. And I have no idea how you seem to remain so composed throughout all of this. But I’m more impressed with your ability to ask just the right questions to really convey the reality of the situation there though asked with objectivity as well as empathy and respect. I wish you both the very best. Thank you both for doing what you’re doing.

Sean saves your day every time. Such a calm and easy-going guy yet lives in that hell on a daily basis. Excellent series!

Intense. This is much more than a travelogue. Thank you for your honesty and calm demeanor. In between the mayhem and chaos in the streets, I catch glimpses of people going about their ordinary daily business and kids going to (or coming from) school, or even people painting! If that's not testimony to human resilience, I don't know what is. Respect to the victims of maladministration and state and gang violence. Salute Sean! Salute Indigo Traveler!

Dang Nick.....I'm not going to relax until I see the series done...glad you are obviously home safe and sharing this tale.

i enjoy these documentaries so much, each episode feels like 5 minutes, but is in fact 25-30 min, thats just crazy and it means you are doing a great job! Keep them episodes coming, been watching since the Ukraine series.

never stop what you are doing, me and my fiance are addicted to your videos and stories!

Dominican here. I appreciate you showing what REALLY is going on in Haiti. A lot of north american outlets like Vox like to blame Dominican Republic for all the injustice Haitians have gone through without realizing Haiti has been plagued by corruption ever since Haiti got it's indenpendence. The gangs and violent crimes are accentuating the issue. This lawlessness is exactly what makes it difficult for Dominicans or any foreign country whatsover to help them. And that's what left us with a very sour relationship. I sympathize with the protesters/rioters but their methods won't work and will continue to worsen the situation. What Haiti needs is political stability and sadly foreigners can't help much there without overstepping their boundaries.

I’ve watched your channel for a couple years now and I don’t think I’ve ever been as nervous for you as I was during your time in Haiti. Tremendous content though, you’re one of the best at what you do!

You've found a friend for life there with Sean, what a good man! Enjoying the Haiti series, blessings for the people of Haiti for a better future

Sean should be the go to guy for anyone daring to visit that country. I can't imagine what might have happened had he not accompanied you. He's worth his weight in gold.

As someone who goes to Haiti regularly, I can attest to the fact it’s is crazy there right now. Truly you will see some of the most beautiful people and spirits there but unfortunately some of the darkest as well. I love Haiti, thank you for risking your life to highlight the Tragic situation in Haiti. I pray the UN steps in soon!

Sean is shining with his charisma and energy. It's like he's got little angels around him protecting him.

Thank you for covering this and releasing your footage of what is going on in Haiti. This is really important and meaningful coverage. I hope you stay safe and the people of Haiti can somehow heal and rebuild. Love to everyone

I'm stressing out big time just watching this on my computer and I'm on my couch in Canada, you're on another level Nick, you're very cougagous, I couldn't do it, no way, nope. Sean is a great man, you're very lucky to have found him to guide you on this journey. Amazing seriers, they all are but this is exceptional!!!

Please look after Sean - he is a real gem of a human being!

Keep you head up, thanks for spreading awareness and giving these people a voice. I can’t even imagine what they go through every day 😢

Best travel channel on RU-vid by far. Appreciate all the love and dedication you have put forth to making these videos! Honestly, some of the best travel content on the internet. My heart goes out you, Sean and all the people in Haiti going through all this turmoil and tragedy.

Man, you really deserve a worldwide recognition, not for big up yourself, but people like you, and all the guides that had stay with you in your travels, has to be part on a movement for a little better world. stay safe man

cant even imagine the sense of relief you have when you make it back to your room.

Anyone else eager for this series to be over so Nick can get somewhere a little safer? Haha Good work as always! Stay safe out there.

Previous 5 uploads from Haiti were all at 11 AM on Sunday... You really have me worried Nick. Please be safe.

My family is from Haiti 🇭🇹 I was born in the US I'm so thankful for everything I have this could've been me I'm so thankful wow! The last time I went there I was 3 years old I'm 37 now I'm sooo thankful!!! When you think you have it bad remember someone will always have it worse then you.

I think the saddest thing in this series is the look on the faces of the people in the streets - just beaten and defeated, especially the women. I pray that things will turn around quickly for Haiti and I also want to compliment Sean as so many others have. He's an amazing person and probably the only guide who could have gotten you out of jam after jam after jam after jam like he did. Whatever you paid him, it wasn't nearly enough as you owe your life to this gentleman..

I've been following all the videos from Haiti. Huge respect that amid all the chaos you are covering everything.

mad respect in what you are doing over there , showing the light on a place so dark is very much needed, much love

Visited Haiti twice, 2014 and 2016. The culture there is absolutely breathtaking, the people couldn’t be the nicest and aside from all the 18th century deforestation, the country is remarkably beautiful, but the condition of the country is truly heartbreaking. A lot of destruction from the 2010 earthquake when I visited and trash for miles in Port-au-Prince on city blocks, the videos speak for themselves. I want to go back again someday and continue to do volunteer work there. I never went into areas like this since we had such a large group, we stayed at a local hospital and church an hour outside of the city, and our local guides were the most badass guys on the planet. But I remember sleeping on the rooftops because they would need to turn off electricity at night so they could save money, so it was cooler to sleep on the roof. And you could hear gunshots ring throughout the night. Very scary but was so happy to go twice and would go back in a heartbeat just to give support from the 2021 quake, give aid for the people and eat their delicious homemade food ❤️🙏 fantastic video series man thank you so much for this, glad you are safe!

I can’t even imagine how emotionally exhausted you are. This is an excellent series and seeing your journalism grow over the years and different countries you’ve visited is truly exciting to watch. Make sure you give yourself some down time when you get home to rest and recuperate.

It's crazy how well you make myself, and I can only assume others as well, feel so immersed in your videos. Throughout this series I've felt like I was actually in Haiti experiencing a fraction of what daily life is like for the masses in that country. Thank you Thank you Sean! Without you this seemingly would have been an impossible video to make without you as a guide. The love you have for your country is truly admirable.

Nick, thanks for this education on what’s happening in Haiti. Sean, if you happen to read this, I love your attitude and hope you are able to see things improve in your country.

As much as i am glued to these uploads and you are doing a more than an amazing job, i will be pleased to see the footage of when you are on the plane and flying to safety. Keep safe. x

this one gentleman's art and figurines were absolutely stunning.... I wish him and his family all the best.

This is what RU-vid was made for, every minute of each episode I feel like I am there with you and wish I could do more! Stay safe!

Thank you so much for creating these videos and sharing this story.

This series has been incredible, thank you. Even having visited Haiti for 2 weeks in 2015, it’s so different and sad to see the state of the country 7 years later. Unfortunately it’s a stark example of how a country’s history has a profound impact on how everything transpires.

I'm reading thru the comments, and I'm not entirely sure if any of us that are watching this from the comfort of our homes, have pieced together that this is just a preview of what "they" want for the entire world. Why do you think this is not on your evening news? Unfortunately, Haiti is one of the many places for their test subjects. This will come to a theatre near you in some way shape or form. The movie might be a little different in your country, but the basic plot the same. We need to stop letting them divide us. We need to realize people across the world have more in common than you think. They don't want unity and peace. They want division and chaos. On another note, Nick I am so sorry people want to criticize your intro or have you in danger by recording audio. I'm sorry people have no imagination. I have so much gratitude for you doing this series. And let's all give Sean some praise for his work in all of this. The love for his country shines thru, and obviously this whole project would not be without him.

I have seen most of your videos, and i really like them, they are so interesting. I have to say, for what i have seen, your contact (Sean?) on Haiti, have to be the best ive seen. God bless this man.

My French teacher is Haitian. I'm Hawaiian and I don't know how a Haitian got to Hawaii but someone asked him what Haiti is like now since he said he visited 2 years ago. He said he is very sad to see what Haiti has become. He said when he was a child they had more money and they could go anywhere they liked and they were free to roam. I searched it up and ended up falling into your channel. Thanks for posting these.

Unbelievable series mate! Haiti looks like it could be an absolute paradise

Crazy to think that we wouldn’t know this was all going on without your series. Another surreal and I’m just speechless. Amazing series.

I just love what you do. You give people a true insight into what life is like in all the countries you visit. Whenever you hear anything about these countries it's always such a distorted view, such a hyper focus on all the large scale negative aspects. Your approach really contrasts that. You give these people a platform to talk about the issues themselves, based on their experience, not through the proxy of a PR trained representative, or edited by the media.

Living in America being from Jamaica. This gives me a real taste of what life is like watching these, also take me back to it. This paradise like place we live in that we grind for everyday is easy vs what they do and we must not complain or be unappreciative.

Holy cow. These Haiti videos are something. Two friends of ours were in Haiti participating in the UN mission and they both came back disturbed. I mean I'm talking about professional soldiers. One came back from this "peacekeeping mission" with PTSD and the other one with depressions. Your videos made me understand why. I watched the Yemen vids after Haiti and it just seems like a great vacation spot in comparison. Interestingly, I had thought that Haiti was relatively alright, whereas Yemen was extremely dangerous. I stand corrected.

i have massive respect for you on going to Haiti. I honestly don’t have the balls to even go to an ludicrous of a place and how you manage to have a cool voice throughout this series is unreal

I’ve been watching you for years and this is by far my favorite! People don’t hear about the reality of Haiti as much as they should!

Thanks for your great documentations!!!!

Sean is your guardian angel. He is one solid and calm man.

These are emotionally intense to WATCH let alone be a part of - I can't imagine what daily exposure to this life would do to your brain. This is such important work you are doing. Thanks for the video, as always, I want to buy one of those paintings - wish there was a way.

Been following you for some time now. This Haiti series is exhausting to watch, as you said there's so much friction there. You're brave for reporting from Port-au-Prince. Props to guide Sean!

Wow… you are just so brave. Thank you so much for going out there And showing us what is going on in other parts of the world. I bet most people have no idea what happens over there in Haiti. They are so strong, continuing to fight for their country.

I Love your videos and I am absoloutley addicted. My school recommends your channel to geography gcse students, so the word is getting out there, thank you so much for teaching us :)

I am grateful that Sean was able to this for you, for everyone of us. It is crazy to see how life is in these impoverished countries. Did you notice at 9:17 that there was a guy trying to open the door to the car, and have you noticed if it happened often whether in Haiti or any other country you have been to?

Again an amazing video! Thanks for everything these past years! Keep it up!
