Solo in the Caribbean’s Worst City 

Old man at the park is cool af

“And my cousin will get a Heineken” 😂

Got suckered into buying a drink, then later gets drink stolen.

That ending with "What I like is that everyone greets eachother" into a man stealing your coke. Classic.

The old man at the field was full of knowledge and wisdom. Loved listening to him and he seems like a wonderful person.

Love the brutal honesty of this channel. No sugarcoating up the travel that a lot of other travellers often do

No matter how poor, abandoned or weird place will be - at least it will be cleaner than in India.

Very unsettling locals.

i felt like a machete was going to appear at any moment

I am from Dominica and has been a fan of the channel for few months now though I am ashamed of the experience you've had I really like the fact that you kept your experience raw and unfiltered. The country has a lot to offer and do with thousands of friendly and welcoming people. I hope your stay goes better than what its been sofar.......... looking forward to more content.

That was a really quick save : ''You have coke..? COCA COLA?!'...'' 4:51

nice to see a young cultivated man greeting us in the start of the video

Years ago I've spent few months on this beautiful island. Walking the Waitukubuli trail, sleeping in the jungle and getting food from farmers felt so good.The best adventure of my life. I hope to see you again, beautiful Dominica.

"Speaking of good deals" I'm dead

Hey Bro, I’m part Dominican/British so I know the place very well. Not all locals are like that but unfortunately they don’t have much else and are in truth some are too lazy to do anything. However, the majority are a great people and very welcoming. Some good places to check out are: Calibishi (small fishing village with some great beaches nearby), Toucarie (beach village), Roseau (capital), emerald pools/sulfur pools - and would very much recommend going up in the mountains to Bells, where you can feel free to stay on land I have there (has lots of fruit and a river running through to swim). Don’t know if this is a late post and if you are still there but yeah

" in the Caribbean’s Worst City" Port-au-Prince says through the sound of distant gun fire, waving machetes and the eye stinging haze of burning tires "Really?"

The man in the park was nice, and just having a real conversation with you.

I appreciate a travel channel that sometimes just makes me feel happy that I'm at home, lol

Big ups to that old man. He was wise. It's hard AF to live in a country like that and still be positive about things. Bless him.

that transition to sponsorship was on another level

Don't feel bad about being anxious after being robbed at gun-point like that buddy, I was almost stabbed to death in an attempted robbery last year and I still get freaked out if some little kid runs up behind me to catch the bus or whatever. That shit stays with you.

the dude running behind you had me scared 🤣

These random adventure videos are my favorite. Glad to see you're doing another big trip, looking forward to following along.

at least you'll die doing what you love!

These locals are giving me chills, very creepy

Dude that conversation with the older guy in the park was so undeniably wholesome. Felt like a little side quest lol. Great video as always.

That old man was spitting facts. He knows what's up.

As a Dominican 🇩🇲 I believe this is a very terrrible depiction of us and the title especially gives a very terrible light. I'm watching through and reading comments about how people are so scared to come here because of this. We are a safe island, and a very friendly people. We are the nature isle and filled with beauty, and splendor. You can walk anywhere and be safe cause no one would ever dare to hurt anyone. I'm thinking of other countries like Trinidad, St. Lucia, and Haiti who have cities that are prone to violence and Dominica isn't like that. We've even been deemed ONE of the safest islands in the region. Every corner you're going to meet someone who's willing to help you, speak with you, and guide you. At the end of the day, it's great to see more people come here and recognize this island as an island. Everyone will have their own experiences and this was yours. However, I do not believe that it was really given a chance here. Explore the neighbouring communities, do a mini island tour even. Even after a major hurricane we are trying to get back as a society. I have a lot to say but I feel this is the most respectful way to express things. Locals are not liking this at all.

There's always that chill old dude at the park 😂😂

Look, the greatest RU-vid travel channel is back.

The guy who took your coke, has mental issues and just always asks for that drink whenever wherever..

My experience in Dominica was the complete opposite. Dominica is a beautiful island with the friendliest, most polite people. You went for a walk in the most run down dilapidated town, met a guy clearly intoxicated and chose to label Dominica from that experience.

The coke robbery reminds me of a weird interaction I had in Prague. I was smoking a cigarette just minding my own business. A random homeless person ( I think? ) or at least a disturbed person. Walked up to me, yeeted the cigarette out of my mouth and walked off with my cigarette. Wtf?

Have you been to other cities around the world? Dominica's is def not the worst. As a traveller, iv been to many different cojntries around the world, and Dominica is far from the worst. Iv travelled to here bout 2/3 times and iv had amazing experiences. The main city, the people, the food, is pretty great and inviting. And from what iv recently heard from the few friemds iv made over there, Dominica is ranked as one of best tourist destinations in the Caribbean.

I am half Dominican and I would like to say that calling Portsmouth the "worst city in the Caribbean" is so naïve its almost laughable. There are FAR FAR FAR worst cities in the Caribbean and its not even close .Its the equivalent of saying that Nashville is the worst city in America? Obviously that would be an outrageous statement. Dominica is definitely not the best island and definitely has its flaws, but it is not the worst island by ANY metric. 1) GDP: It's definitely one of the "poorer" islands, but even that's debatable because there is barely any needs to spend money in the first place (Most food is grown domestically and running water is basically free). But even so its NOT last in GDP actually higher than JAMAICA if adjusted for Purchasing power. And that's despite being only 3% of their population. 2)Safety: it is NOT the most dangerous island in the Caribbean not even close! Barbados, Jamaica, Trinidad, Haiti, The Dominica republic all have at LEAST 10 cities WAY more dangerous than Portsmouth. 3) Culture and beauty: Obviously "beauty" is in the eyes of the beholder but the geological and biodiversity of that island is one of the best in the Caribbean. Notice that the streets were definitely in need of repair but also notice how CLEAN the streets were. And that's not because the government but the PEOPLE who maintain the place by themselves. For you to truly appreciate what the country has to offer you would need to ask a few locals and talk to them. You came as a tourist, walked the streets and expect to see the best of the island? 4) The downsides: It is true that the government is corrupt (like all governments?) but obviously the island is not being used to its full potential. There are many reasons for this but some of it is because of many islanders leaving to more capitalist countries. But they all come back fairly often, either to retire or on vacation. As the older man said: Lack of opportunity for the youth and unemployment is possibly the greatest issue that the island faces, along with some drug trafficking issues. So please, unless you've traveled a bit more on the islands, don't call that city the worst. Trust me it's so wrong that I'm willing to bet my life that ANYBODY who's been to a few islands would never tell you that Portsmouth is the worst city in the Caribbean.

I don't think that was in your head with the first guy. I would have gotten away from him as well.

Your reaction was 100% reasonable. It’s hilarious that you were questioning whether you were tripping out or not afterwards. That guy gave off such horrible vibes. I was getting anxious watching on TV. Of course then you proceed to seek out someone that is kind and genuine to try and make yourself feel more comfortable. This was such a relatable experience. Your videos are a pleasure to watch.

I’ve been a long time subscriber and was so happy to hear you visited Dominica since I’m Dominican American. You were literally within walking distance of 2 5 star hotels, the beautiful Indian river, purple turtle beach and the cabrits national park but you decided to go the hood and turn your camera on. I understand that RU-vid views are important but that title is completely wild. You spoke to a few high and drunk ppl and are now painting the entire Country as dangerous. Btw I’ve also met the man who asked you for coke , he’s mentally delayed and asks everyone for coke a cola. I’ve traveled throughout Africa , the Caribbean and Europe and Dominica far from the most dangerous.

shoutout to unc at the field, man is very well spoken and intelligent

There's only 2 types of people in this world. "Wise people who know they are fools, and fools who think they are wise".

Excited for this new journey! Love all the videos man!

Paradise lost ... Its like a council estate with nice weather ....

Finally someone pointed out the BS thats going on in the country..maybe that'll give the ppl running it incentive to upgrade the place 🤷🏻‍♂️

Looks extremely dangerous 😂. Youve got balls fella.

Yo LFG, always a good day when SBA uploads!

Apart from inflation, bad economy, no jobs, prostitution…it’s a great place 😐. That old dude has a way with words

Love your videos man, keep it up! Excited for another 1 year journey!

The first dude you should have had a counter for how many times he shook your hand lol.

😂😂😂😂 the fact that I know everybody in this video I'm dead 🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲🇩🇲

Looking forward to another year of awesome videos! PS don’t be afraid to do longer videos, even if nothing super interesting happens. its always fun to watch!

im so happy to see how fast your channel has grown recently

You can’t be wowed by visiting just one place. Please give the country another chance to wow you. Visit Champagne in the south or Scots Head where the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea meet… or hire a CERTIFIED tour guide and hike the Waitukubuli trail. Go to Emerald Pool or the Hot Springs. It’s worth it. I hope you visit again. 🇩🇲

I am from Dominica, but it's never smart to walk around in a foreign country alone. Spend the extra money to get a tour guide. Overall, our crime rate is low, but these things happen everywhere when you make yourself a mark.

Nice to see you're back on another trip, good luck and keep up the good work!

I watch the last one when it was about to end and made me subscribe cant wait to be here from the beginning. Good content brotha

Dominica has amazing nature. The jungles and waterfalls are incredible

Sorry you had such a scary reception in Portsmouth! I live near here and people are definitely looking for money from the white tourists! I know that young fellow from the beginning segment, he comes off as scary but he’s actually alright, he works hard almost every day street-cleaning for the government. He has that very odd, sarcastic way of speaking but he’s no danger. People here will always ask for whatever you have you just have to stay strong, so good for you not buying his cousin a drink. They will try to scam you and get you to give them if they can, but once they get to know you that stops. There are some very nice people and places in Portsmouth but you can get the kind of experience you had quite easily, too. The Portsmouth locals need to work on their tourist reception skills, sorry for that. It’s really not dangerous, you would never be held at gun point.

The way you put your marketing was hilarious 🤣 10/10 . Happy to see you upload content

it's always chatting with the locals who've been around the block that gives such a deeper look into a place, way beyond what guidebooks can offer. I've had similar cool and memorable talks on my trips too. anyway, man, I hope Dominica changes your opinion or helps you heal from your PTSD from being robbed.

those guys at the beginning could tell they could bully you so they did

When i see places like this it makes me realize even more how lucky i am to live in the country i live in, that place is depressing everything looks like its falling apart but yet everything is so expensive.

Love the raw, gritty & earthy vibe of the whole experience, it doesn’t get any more real than this

Now we’re talkin!! Love a return to the solo content ❤❤

It don't need sugar coating but saying we the worst is just pass the point

Wow you really captured the sketchy vibes well!

Great to hear you're on another adventure, loved the first one and looking forward to what's next!

You got a sponsor! I'm so proud :') Amazing content as always. So happy to see your audience grow, you deserve it.

This video is very misleading because in the beginning his goal was to head to the beach but yet he decided to record buildings that were destroyed by HURRICANE MARIA, ....He basically recorded a ravin calling it a river in which when he began recording he actually had to cross the great INDIAN RIVER Bridge and never recorded the INDIAN RIVER. By the way a movie scene from PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN WAS FILMED ON THE INDIAN RIVER. Last but not least, Remember, In the beginning his goal was to head to the beach but yet there's no footage of the BEAUTIFUL PURPLE TURTLE BEACH. This guy is clearly documenting the NEGATIVE in order to get LIKES & VIEWS. PS : Screenshot this before he decides to delete the post

That trap house is indeed optically terrifying.

Dope to see you back on another trip this time getting the recognition you earned 🙏🔥🔥

Can't wait to see where this year takes you. Stoked to be along for the ride!

"Worst City"? Come on bro...not even close. Portsmouth is kinda of a crappy little town, but there are definitely much much worse places such as; Colon Panama, Port of Spain Trinidad, Kingston Jamaica, and just about any city/town in Cuba. Shoot, even just jump on over to Kingstown St Vincent.

I live in Portsmouth and i have seen places (in Loiuisiana) i would not steo a foot in. I have been a teacher for almost 10 years and My neighbors are the chief of police, the manger of the banks and the Credit Union, top busoness owners, government ministers and more. How about i show you a side of Portsmouth you did not show everyone?

Always love the authentic way Conor interacts with the locals!

Love your videos man keep it up!!

Wow.... Extremely interesting video... Colombia definitely changed you, I've seen in way worst situation, not breaking a sweat and keeping very cool... You definitely changed... That's crazy. I wasn't expecting that from you. But I can relate. Love your content ❤. Let's see how you handle your new fears 🙃

Love this type of content, I can feel the discomfort and everything he’s feeling. Now I know what countries not to go xd

That old dude called his country close to perfect 😂😂😂 man that’s too funny

So the younger guys there have to mess with fat Bertha from the Cruise ship, to get food on the table. No wonder they need some weed

Those locals look annoying af!

Andrew seemed like a good and grounded guy! I wish you the best Andrew!

I love watching your videos. They show sides of the world most people don’t get to see ever great job!

You got some balls man, in that enviroment I would never follow someone if they told me so, would be worried that the next second a knife is in my stomach

Port au Prince would like to have a word with you calling Portsmouth the Caribbean's worst city

A dominican here 👋🏾 and i just want to say that you for sharing this video let other people see what the country us and how bad it is here .. the economy is under ground and no one wants to admit that the government needs to be changed .. we are suffering and no one is speaking or pushing for change… Andrew spoke the truth the government is running a communist system where all the businesses are closing down and the people have to stay begging all the time … those if us who survive here are usually working 2-3 jobs daily to make ends meet

Every outsiders watching this video and judging our country based on a short clip of his experience in Portsmouth... Why didn't he visit the waterfalls, beaches, volcanic sights, rainforest, etc... Why didn't he go to other communities and have the full experience of the country? Is that all our country worth, bad publicity!... Once it's bad, talk about it right but what about the good... Everyone under the video talking about they would never come to our country, Dominica. Tell me how nice your country is?! I'll wait!!! America isn't that sweet.. Homeless people everyday on the streets, begging... Trash on the roadsides, police brutality, gangs left right and center BUT a short clip and boom everything went out the window... Never judge a book by it's cover. He should have never went out without a guide, he should have booked and planned his trip better to have a wonderful week but no. All he cared about was bringing down another mans country. I said what I said... Argue with your mama, not me!

11:48 60 dollars for a damn hat?? Holy shit

Well that was tense. lmao

I just came across this awesome channel. i'm absolutly hooked, its funny, sad , entertaining . I'm going to spend the rest of Sunday watching all of Small Brained americans videos.

This is better than TV. Looking forward to more bro

Got tricked into buying a coke for 4.50 and than halfway drinking it got robbed from it again 😅 Yeah definately not gonna put that place in my top 10 goto vacation spots 😂

I’m sad that you had such a negative experience in my beautiful island, and hometown. I apologize on behalf of the individuals you encountered 🙈. We do have a lot to offer in terms of the sites and our people are way nicer than those you encountered in the video. I would recommend linking up with a certified tour guide who can help you see the beauty of the place and have authentic experiences that don’t trigger your PTSD. There’s the Indian River, Cold Soufriere, Cabrits National Park, Bois Neuff Falls, Red Rocks, The Chocolate Factory all in the north and north east in addition to lots of small restaurants that offer delicious local meals.

You blew up the last 12 months! Congrats man I’ve been binging your vids since I found you 6 days ago haha! Stay safe man and keep showing us the world!

Glad your solo again! Makes for a much better authentic vlog that we leant to like

The shakedown is real. For those like “oh it’s so bad there” it’s like if you engage the wrong folks in any downtown area or small town bar. But yeah I felt the sketched out for sure. Been too many places like this for my taste.

You had an unfortunate experience with that particular guy, the island is beautiful and filled with many friendly people. People who will even look out for you if they see you in trouble.

Love you man keep posting. Love that you don’t butter up these places that are sub par

Hell yeah dude good to see you back on the road!!

Bro this is my home land and this is one of the safest places on earth. If you look for the bad things then you will attract them. Look for the good 👍🏽

Oh great…my next cruise has a port stop in Dominica lol, I booked a tour to the jungle & waterfalls tho:-) Prolly will be safe tho if it’s a touristy thing right ;-)
