I Joined The World's Most Dangerous Migrant Trail🇺🇸

🇻🇪 PART ONE: The migrant crises along the USA's southern border has become a hot topic over the last few years with what seems to be an endless stream of people flooding across the border. But where are those migrants coming from, and why? I decided to go to the source of the issue, Venezuela, a country on the verge of collapse, and travel with the migrants north through Central America to understand the issue better. Join me on what will be my most dangerous and longest journey ever undertaken as we cross the infamous Darien Gap and other areas most people avoid unless escaping poverty.

Joining me on this journey is my good friend @TimmyKarter Please check out his channel to see his version of the trip too.

Bald's Spanish has come a long way from when he was walking the streets of La Paz unable to understand when the locals told him he was in mortal danger

This guy is living life like a single player RPG always picking the funny dialogue options and taking the weird companions.

A 40 day journey? Dude this might be the greatest content on YouTube

[Wadepenn_]

This man is something else. The amount of courage it takes to travel on foot from Venezuela to Tijuana as a foreigner and to try to relate to the local people, is truly something special. What a boss

[SwanBelmont]

Timmy is an awesome addition to this journey. He’s so down to earth.

[jacobwhite]

The fact that he learned enough to get by with locals makes this 10x better and brings a more human aspect into the video instead of a foreigner looking at a culture/people from a outside perspective

That Babushka part was really heart-warming. Old people rarely come across such nice younger strangers. Thank you for making her feel good about her day.

Going on local buses, hanging out with local people, being on the ground. This is so much better than most other vloggers that are flying first class and staying at 5 star hotels.
This trip (so far) reminds me about Bald's travels in India, staying in dodgy hotels in the poor parts of town and talking to people fighting daily to survive. I love that mr Bald is connecting with the lower rungs of society and gives them a voice.

[ZacmanAir]

Bald appears every once in a while with the most mad content ever and just disappears

[DailyAndre]

There’s something calming about Bald’s videos. Like it connects us all - we’re all humans and we are all trying just to live life as good as we can, no matter where we at or the conditions we’re faced with. I don’t know, just feels good to watch this content! Thank you!

[JKL]

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy these videos. The energy, the people, the good, the bad, the craziness of the situations, and your overall attitude. Your ability to connect with people using the local languages is so much fun to watch. I cannot wait to see the rest of the series. Please be safe, and good luck!

That guy was smoking basuco. Bald your spanish has improved tremendously. Its going to be a very dangerous journey I'm glad you brought someone who speaks spanish fluently and you are realizing the dangers you will face and are not doing it blindly. Best of luck to you both and I look forward to watching your journey

[necroplastful]

From day one I have followed this man. It has not for a single moment ever been dull or boring or routinely. Its always a trip and a half! Love you Ben!

[CaspianNomad]

A lot of channels like this get criticised (rightfully so) for going to places like this and just focusing on the worst aspects. You always manage to capture the good and the bad. Keep up the great content!

[robertnewmaniii]

Im convinced Bald makes the best content on the internet. This is unparalleled. A lot of the things he does i never imagined to even be possible. Cant wait for the next installment of this series, stay Safe Bald and Timmy!

[radicalnomad]

I never thought I would see the inside of the Darien gap. I'll probably never go there but it's a mysterious place, so thank you for showing me what it's like!! This is something many people don't dare to do. And the fact that this is a series of long videos makes it 100x better!

[SergeyMilushkin]

With Love from Minsk! Glad to see you in good health and high spirits.

[arab]

Nice to see you with Timmy the legend.

[LFX]

Ben’s interactions as he wanders is just absolutely fascinating, every time it’s a viewing worth while.

[blancacordero]

Wow! I absolutely love your content. The way you interact with the locals, your reactions to people and places, is just so fascinating. Can hardly believe you are actually taking this arduous journey through the Darien Gap. You take your videos to the next level. And your Spanish is so much better. Be safe when filming content, especially in places like the ones in this video.
