- There is a town on the coast of Guatemala that can only be accessed by boat. The small fishing village of Livingston is not like the rest of the country because here is the home of Garifuna people that are also called Black Caribs.
They are basically descendants of African-Carib populations from Caribbean Islands and they speak their own language, they have their own traditions, food and music!!
In this video Be ready for some dramatic scenes, dance, pain, flirt and a lot of laughs while I'm learning more about this unique culture of Garifuna and their significant differences with Mayan.
Let's Go!!!

Mr. Patron (tour guide) has a lot of wisdom and yes, he is definitely right. That said, I really don't think the younger guy was trying to scam you. He was polite. And yes, Tim...you are very street smart and would never get taken advantage of by paying more. You let the old man have his say, and that my dear brother, shows your character. You were so respectful, even though your tour guide overreacted just a little bit.
All in all, every person was very nice and it's such a blessing to connect with beautiful people on your travels.
Tim, you have the privilege of journeying all over the world and you live each day with a passion to connect, learn and show love and respect. You handle yourself well and you treat others so good.
You are a blessing to this world and people's lives; you have such an amazing effect on everyone that you come into contact with.
I see a part of myself in you when I was 24, only you are much more outgoing and gifted with compassion, social skills and showing that you really care.
Wow, I've been watching your videos for 2 days now, and I'm a huge fan!! 👏
Χρόνια Πολλά!! (Happy New Year)
And a huge Happy New Year to all ❤️
Oh, and the hair looks great on the third try!
I 100% agree
That dude was looking out for your ass. HE nailed it, you fell right into their trap.. The guy with the alcohol who easily convinced you to come around corner with him for a drink. Talk talk talk then next thing you do you have a bar tab owed and no friends around.... I am glad that the elder man wasn't too irritated to come back and help you. He sees that hustle too often and you can tell how sick of seeing it he is. Especially with his reiterating the point over and over.
Be safe and don't trust everyone.
Also. Subscribed! Keep it up and continue discovering local cultures!
u don't even know what you're drinking, water or alcohol! and alone! smh.
how do they buy alcohol?? how do bums usually get their stuff?
y'all do know people cared for their selves before washing machines, AC, stores!
wow i feel sorry for some of y'all that have it all in life!😂😢🙃😡
Hey guys!! I read today some comments and I can’t believe that you were really worried about me🙏🏼!!
I really appreciate it and so I wanna tell you that yea I was sick with covid for few days and then I didn’t have strength to edit!!
Now Im back haha and Im so happy to share with you this video.
Its such a unique place - such a unique people and Many funny things happened hahaha!! I really hope you ll enjoy it and thanks again for your comments about my health!!
Timmy🙂
Madre mia
you scared us dont do this again
and we are glad that you are doing good
Love from Saudi Arabia
Glad you are back!
9:46 tell the angry man that Guatemala is in the American continent.
Push that Vitamin C 😷 and take care.
ATTENTION!!! Is your heart right with God? We can not hide our sins for God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for your sins. Repent and put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. Matthew 4:17 ...Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Life Lesson learned timmy. Its rude to leave a person showing u around is all.. love your content bro. Very inspiring
dude didn't even wait for his guest lol what true hospitality, instead of confronting the dude with alcohol then he just came around later to complain. no real rasta.
This did not even feel like a 47 minute video. It was very entertaining and interesting to watch. Thank you Timmy.. Madre mia 🤣
Wow thanks a lot brother!! That makes me so happy and gives me more courage to keep creating! Thabks for your kind words my friend and now I wish you to visit the same place one day by yourself and have an unforgettable experience that will last forever!!🔥🙏🏼
I second that motion my guy. I am up after 6am looking at this. entertaining at it's best. Rastaman was spot on with his "pissed-off-isms" 😁
+++ I like the $$$ dynamics. Twenty year old males don't work and don't hustle except drinks from tourists $0.00. Mayan 65 year old man works 8 hours for $10.00. Grifinican Lady briads hair for 5 minutes and makes $8.00. That's time money management. Notice she turned her head when the dude tried to low ball her for $5.00 or $6.00. Mr. Philip made $20.00 for maybe an hour of his time as a guide and showing his culture.
@@TimothyYancy SCAMMER !
GET LOST 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
Them Cracker Boys were scared ass Hell...
Those dudes didn't do anything shady. It was him who stopped them and he told them he wanted to try what they were drinking. They just gave him what he literally asked them for.
exactly
Rasta man is no joke . He wants more for his community then just a tourist having a fun time drinking with the people .
I respect his focus and work ethics .
Alcohol and drugs are the crutches for the poor , a shame .
Facts
Yeah Man! Bless and love!
+++They are NOT crutches, they are ANCHORS.
The rich do them too.
Actually I have to agree with you about Rasta but man about some people just wanting you to pay for their drinks etc but man was he rude to you! 🤦♀️
#learntoletgo
Thanks for your patience and the video though 👍
I spent a large chunk of my childhood there, 92,93,94,95 and 96. Some of the best memories! The place looks a lot different. My dad's best friend owned the big hotel next to the wharf. I wish one day I can visit again.
I stayed in that hotel in ‘89. It was a luxury place (comparatively speaking) and only cost about $3 US/night! Only spent one night there before our boat trip north to Dangriga, Belize.
Absolutely love Guatemala, of all of central america Guatemala and Nicaragua are the ones I like the most and find the most fascinating
Where you from
Try Belize
It's amazing watching this guy flow from person to person, and can make a connection. Wish I had one tenth the social skills this guy has.
its more of anti-social skills. He acts totally arrogant towards the locals. Has this sarcasm as if everybody is stupid. Even pretended to be stupid himself when Rastaman explained him what's wrong...
@@danieldossantos6847
By playing dumb it's a way of showing he had no intention of being disrespectful and in reality he was just caught up in the moment and truly wasn't trying to be disrespectful. It's a tight rope walk when trying to maneuver through a foreign culture while staying safe and being respectful to everyone you meet while they are trying to manipulate you for 💰 Timmy does a great job on his journeys with the locals 👏 👍
I have respect for that old man; he told you to correct yourself and stop playing games. He is unquestionably a free thinker.
YES HE IS TRYING TO TELL YOUGEN DOES PEOPLE ARE THERE TO TAKE YOUR MONEY AND HE'S 100% RIGHT 75 YEARS OLD GOD BLESS HIS SOUL, OG PUT EVERYBODY IN THERE PLACE. 4SURE.
@@Yaya_716 I agree 100%
He also had his own agenda, dude wanted to enjoy the culture
What is a FREE THINKER ?

That old man you found is really good. I'm glad you left with him. He's a bit rough but his heart is in the right place and he's not afraid to say what he has to say. You're a good boy for going with him. He shows you a good trip went very few people ever get to see, and that's how people live. They are clean and friendly, what more could you ask for. Thank you for this tour it's probably the most natural tour one could get. I would love to live there, but I'm too old to move. You're doing a good job and I thank you for this video.
Señor Felipe should be made the minister of tourism. He spoke from heart and makes sense 💯 %
also the minister liked his income very much.
for me the last family was the best😊
Respect ! Linking with the elder over other options shows maturity!
I love it when you said if you come with an open mind and an open heart, well that’s what I noticed in all your videos no matter if people tells you that it’s dangerous or don’t go there don’t film there you always keep it positive and you eventually attract people with same energy even if some times something bad happens you always stay positive and you chose to focus on all the positive stuff that you experienced instead of getting stuck in that one negative event
I was a sailor many years ago I always enjoyed going off the tourist area to meet the real people, I enjoyed this very much.
Same one of my best memories on my second trip to sea was from uk via Bermuda then a circuit of the West Indies islands, all those happy people, and their different rums, now that’s a another story!
What a bunch of Idiots who participate in the prision industry...CHANT BABYLON DOWN...💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Loved your content Timmy. Just one thing; please be very careful when going into the off tourist areas. Some of these people are struggling and may be in need. Please remember that not all smiling faces are friendly, or mean well.
I've just started watching his videos and honestly I'm surprised he hasn't gotten hurt yet
he seems genuinely compassionate and has great communications skills, i think the locals would protect him from being abused by the local mafias by allowing him into their inner circles, the mafias have nothing to gain
99 percent of the people want to help you and dont want to harm you. stay positive and enjoy life. throw away your fears and doubts.
@masterswinger850 I couldn't agree with you more. I've spent over 40 days between Guatemala, Mexico and Belize, I ve never felt in danger and I ve actually met very nice people ready to help you or curious enough to strike a conversation. Leave your fear and live your life
As a young man I travelled in Central America, Mexico and at times did find myself in danger on accasion. Most of the time no problems, but aware at all times never drink alcohol or use drugs and never except a drink of any kind openned out of your presence. There is always someone watching for a mark.@@antobellog1878
Whats crazy was the old Boss is a sober dude and oppose the idea of drinking. Pretty cool man.
I love Patron, he is wise and has a genuine concern for combating hunger amongst his people ♡ Much respect!
This was absolutely amazing! You showed us something that would be very difficult to see, thank-you! You handled boss man very well, he was a handful. I think you are a true peacemaker!
That’s the same thing I thought to he managed to calm down boss man. He was really angry but he really shouldn’t was have to release it on poor Tim. But he managed to succeed with love and professionalism
That guy has no patience and doesn't realize that Tim is a tourist, so he's innocent to their way of life. Its no different than some foreigner visiting where ever anyone reading this lives. Anyone can be victim to fraud and deception, if one is a tourist. I know many would be in serious trouble if they were to visit where I live, there are far more dangerous places in the world than that town. As an elder, that guide should have spoken to Tim with respect, kindness and told him about the risks sitting down and drinking with those people. Tim is an adult, not a child so more consideration should have been shown to that guest. Due to the negative attitude I would have told that guy to walk. The man drinking I'm sure after a few drinks would be more than happy to guide Tim around, and he's seemed to be in a better mood. One cannot enforce their way of life onto others, some people drink and that's o.k. and some don't.

Let me walk act like your friend and show you a good time around here. That can be either one of those bums. Maybe if they worked like the Maya they wouldn't be in such dire conditions!!!
I feel the same whenever I'm in Livingston. This place is like trapped in time, stays the same through the ages!

Για σας! I’m Guatemalan born and I’m sad for my garífuna brothers and sisters. I think they are equal as Mayan, mixed and European Guatemalan. But they didn’t care, I mean, the government about garífunas. It’s heartbreaking.
Shout out to my garífuna brothers and sisters and obviously my Mayan people and all my Guatemalan compatriots.
Mayan and garífuna must unite to fight against injustice.

Yes, they do have some Mayan blood also. I've seen their DNA results. They are typically 10-20% Mayan, with much less Europa

I'm Garifuna from St. Vincent the British really messed us up. All the Garifuna people didn't get exiled, some were left back and forced not to speak the language.
Every where Timmy goes he makes friends . He's a legend!!!
Hey Tim, these people are not dumb as you have persived. They respectfully, speak 3 to 6 languages. From Creole (Haitian), Garifuna, British English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese (quoting historical culture). Livingston, Puerto Barrios, used to be filled with Jamaicans, Chinese, English, Germans, Americans, and of course, Guatemalans because of the commerce and being right on the mouth of Caribbean sea. Yes, Guatemala is full of great surprises at every corner. My advise to you is to gently respect their culture and their conditions as they lived, life. I am glad you are having a great time and are keeping safe and out of trouble. RESPECT is key.
They do not speak French, Portuguese, and the Kriol is English based not Haitian French Creole. Smh
@@rarnold310 they garífuna language is based on french, English, and another language it's a mix of languages, your right not Hatian creole.
See this is where you are wrong, even they are not dumb then how come they don't work on building a better future unstead of just walking around the streets like a bum
They speak better English than you Timmy 😅
Ov kors
That was a major misunderstanding. That guy did not make you try the drink. He was being nice and getting a free drink at the same time. The older man already had your tour planned out. The fact he felt the guy stole you away he was wrong. Then he came back and practically said give me money and you can stay. Get the hell out of there!
He was wrong for leaving boss man, boss man was real!
No this Tim person all over the place his fault
The boss man is wrong for that. I would've stayed and drank.
THE OLD MAN WAS AN OBNOXIOUS DRUNK AND UPSET AFTER "HEEEE" DISAPPEARED ON TIM. FURTHERMORE TIM WAS THE ONE THAT ASKED BOUT THE ALCOHOL. FINALLY AFTER THE OLD DRUNK CAME OUT HIS MOUTH CUSSIN AND YELLIN AT TIM DEMANDING 20. SHOULDA JUST WALKED AWAY... SO MANY FOULS HERE. SMFH, LMFAO!!!

So glad you enjoyed my culture. Im from Honduras ❤️ this is my beautiful culture and its the best way of living. Go back home every single year just to breathe fresh air always and live a simple life 🖤🤍💛
Much respect to the elder. He peeped game and when he told you he didn’t drink I knew he wouldn’t be pleased with you stopping the tour to drink. But… you got what you wanted. The local didn’t even want to share with you from his own bottle.
They pretty much pressured him into buying the bottle of alcohol and also the other guy just expected his beer to be paid for by Timmy. I find it rude actually.
@@windwhisprz it was DEFINITELY rude but they took advantage of Timmy’s earnestness to drink. He probably would’ve sat with that man all day if the elder wasn’t around and he encountered the drinker first.
@@windwhisprz Not that much of a pressure, Tim asked for a local drink by himself and they gave him something cheap.
But yeah, the young guy was taking advantage of him and wanted a free beer. The old man was rude and acted childish, wanted to hustle a few bucks as well.
Kudos to the woman at the shop, where she made it clear and asked Tim if he wanted to buy the beer. She was the only genuine person!
"I don't smoke, I was born High"
Holy shit bro.
incredible
Very glad I found this video and all your videos Tim! I worked and traveled in Guatemala in 2013 for 6 months. I visited some of the same places! Livingston Is small and doesn’t change much because this old man who was showing you around I also met him and he showed us around lol😂 he has aged a bit but same mentality.
It’s sad because I see people traveling and I always think that locals just are trying to get money, but I love the way Tim travels. They need money, we should be generous if we can and just try to enjoy life as human beings in the world. Big up Tim for your videos and your flow! Very talented person!
You really met the legend Tim, bro he wants the generation to change rather than getting addicted or any other way to escape hard work, Huge huge respect to both of you man ❤
Dance is a great representation of their African culture; beautiful.
I'm sitting here in the US City of Chicago. Thank You for taking us on this great Journey. Viva Guatemala!
Started wheezing when he walked off with that money fast af😂😂
🤣
I was there on New Years 1973 but across the water at Port Barrios. I was 19 at the time met an older African Carib fellow, was surprised he spoke 4 or more languages without missing a beat. English, Spanish, French and local dialicts. He had worked all his life all over the Caribbean. I hadn't even mastered my own language. Why did I go to school? I should have been born a fisherman on the Mosquito Coast.
"we don't need church we need help."✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿 I got to give that man his props.
Yes Tim I'm 44 yr old guy from Ireland,well done Tim your videos are brilliant,are do worry about you sometimes my friend,stay save Tim 💯your one of the best vloggers I know ,your videos make me happy when I'm not happy even
I never watch videos this long to completion but my sister's father's garifuna and i just had to watch this beautiful culture and people great video subscribed
@Timmy Karter I just came across your video about Livingston today. I was raised in NY and now live in North Carolina but was born in Puerto Barrios Izabal, Guatemala. More specifically I am from a town calle el rastro. Thank you for this video show casing a portion of what Livingston has to offer. There's so much more to Livingston, puerto barrios and el rastro regarding the Gariguna people that the rest of the world has yet to see or hear about. That guy you met at 46 minutes roughly, the one that took you from your tour guy, i know him. His a really good dude and very humble. anyway, not sure where you at these days, but, if you ever find yourself in guatemala and want to do a follow up video on guatemala and livingston, I would love to be there and or get you with the right people to show you a bit of everything; garifuna food, garifuna drinks, night life, beach life, day life. and the experience would be at no cost to you. I would just love to see more youtuve videos about garifuna people around the world. Because we are everywhere/. Including Greece, spain. I lived in Spain for over 4 years. I served in the US military, and that that took me every where. Good luck and thanks again.
It really sounds wonderful! Beautiful country and people!❤️

I've only watched about three of your videos so far and subscribed after the first one yesterday. Very enjoyable. I value your travels and appreciate your outlook on local cultures.
Thank you for sharing your experiences here. I gain a better understanding of indigenous language as a bonus to the great fun and this aids me immensely because it helps me better communicate with the friends that I work with every day in the US service industry. Salut 🍻
I'm from the island of Saint Vincent aka Yurumein 🇻🇨, the birthplace of the Garifuna people. Shout-out to all Garifuna people in the Americas. ❤
That’s so cool. Can you understand the language they speak in this video? Is it the same across different countries or has it changed over time?
@@lynottlives Great question but we lost the language because those that remained on the island ended being enslaved and lost their identity. The ones that got exiled never became slaves, kept their identity, language and culture. Our country just started programs for us to re-learn our culture and language. From what I know tho it's the same for every country, someone from Belize can converse with someone from Honduras easily. I've met Belizean Garifuna people that say so but never met one from Honduras or anywhere else.
@@djoseph5130 thank you for your thoughtful and helpful answer. That’s very interesting and very sad. I’m from Ireland and we similarly had our native language destroyed by British colonialism. There has been a revival movement for the last century, the language is on all street signs and government documents since independence but it is not heavily spoken unfortunately but there are dedicated schools etc. and small areas of the country where it is the primary language. It would be incredible to bring back Garifuna to Saint Vincent!
Increible que aprenda mas de mi propio país con un extranjero
Hi Tim, i say hello from Honduras, if you want to know lot of Garifunas comunities you have to come to north coast to Honduras, you are going to know beautiful places with rivers, mountains, come to La Ceiba Honduras and you Will never forget the experience, God bless you.
Tim I love your videos and I admire your vibrant kind energy. I feel like I'm with you on every adventure. The older man seemed pretty uptight but my belief is he thought the other man was going to profit off of you and he was going to lose out. Its quite obvious that it's a poverty stricken area so I could empathize with him. God bless you my dear friend and stay safe 🙏 ❤

I prefer to go the places that aren’t on the tourist maps. When I went to the Dominican Republic, I didn’t stay at the resort after my second day. I went to eat and drink like the locals 😅
I did that in Cuba and Venezuela and got ripped off by the locals
This was beautiful to watch I couldn't help but smile 😊

Thanks a lot my friend ❤️🙏🏼🥳
The guy poured a splash of his beer on the ground before drinking it. They do that in the countryside in Brazil, too. Also, your Spanish accent is perfect. It took me a while to figure out why everyone was talking about Greece. I thought you were Argentinian or something.
How did you not notice that he is Greek😂, his accent in English is way too strong .
@@gunfire5006 I think it's because a Greek and Spanish-speaking accent are so similar. Greek and Spanish are phonetically identical.
@bennettbullock9690 Pouring a splash of his beer on the ground is deeply rooted in west African culture, particularly the eastern (Igbo) part of Nigeria. It's a form of libation and a way to pay homage to the ancestors and mother earth.
I’m so glad you’re back. We were worried about you! Keep doing great videos. I like your type of reporting. Sending good vibes 😎. Take care of your health.
Muchas Gracias Claudia!! Your interest for my health really humbles me!! Thanks for the support and wish u all the best too🙏🏼🔥
I'm from El Salvador when I was a kid I went to Puerto barrios Livingston you're right is beautiful there is total different from the rest of the country love that place.
I had a somewhat similar experience when I visited Livingston in 2005. In 2002 I visited St Vincent and picked up the story of the Garifunas. So I knew some things before I came to Livingston. In Livingston I met a Garifuna guy and we talked a lot. He invited me to come to his house the next day for some home cooked Garifuna meal. He wanted me to give him some money to buy vegetables. I gave him some money and we parted ways and were supposed to meet the next day. When I came back to my hotel run by creoles and told them about my encounter they said: " Oh you have been fooled. He is just going to take the money and disappear". Anyhow I went to the place were I was going to meet the Garifuna guy the next day. And he was there. He had bought the vegetables and now we were supposed to go down to the sea and buy some fresh fish. By the sea I saw some fishing boats far out but they were coming closer. The boats came to the shore and we bought a big fish. At this time we had met a Norwegian girl and she came along. We went through the village and came to his house. He called upon his mother and gave her the fish and the veggies and told her to start cooking. The Norwegian girl, me and the Garifuna guy sat outside and we talked a lot about the situation for the Garifuna people. This time my previous knowledge came in handy. He had a similar story to tell like your "Boss" but he was actively trying to help Garifuna people and teach them to be proud of their culture and history. It was a very interesting chat. The food came, a fish soup, and we started to eat. To this day it remains one of the most delicious fish dishes I have ever tasted. So I really had a great time with my Garifuna friend. When I came back to my hotel I couldn't wait to tell them that their prejudices against my Garifuna friend had been totally unfounded.
PD
My Regards to EL PATRON.
I understand how he feels is the same things back home when I see my people drifting away from what used to be a real Dominican. (Dominican Rep.)
These guys are speaking 3 languages so fluently. Smart people
Good stuff once more! Interesting to see the wily Garifuna pull the wool over the eyes of the Gregarious Greek in order to separate him from his cash.
Moat ppls living near the sea, will sharing similar attitudes which r very kind and open heart to everyone whom come over to their place..... almost no bad feeling to the visitor/tourist . Respect,
This reminds me of so many situations I encountered in CA. Everybody had an angle
In Livingston, everywhere you go you have to give some money. The guy was angry because he was missing a client, he asked for money, but he did not tour you to special places. The other guy showed you the experience of drinking guifiti (a traditional garifuna drink), and the last one, showed you the drums and Punta dance. If you stay more days you are going to be amazed by the way Garifuna People enjoy life. For example, New year's eve on the beach. People live on tourism here, just enjoy your time do not judge.
They used the African slaves for their big dongs
rasta man is right but needs to reduce the heat under the collar, that place is laid back!
Lived in San Jose for a few years & loved life there! Great people!
The moment the musician and the ladies gave you was pure magic brother ❤
Nosotros los garífuna somos un amor hermano lamento q el guía allá hablado mucha mierda pero me alegra q te allá gustado
He wasn’t talking shit. He was telling the truth. All these young guys are doing is drink all day. They need to get off their lazy but and work towards developing their area.
I'm happy that your out-of the hospital and having a speedy recovery!!
Thank you for this. Our African ancestors kept us alive wherever we ended up. Can't kill this.
ATTENTION!!! Is your heart right with God? We can not hide our sins for God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for your sins. Repent and put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. Matthew 4:17 ...Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

I visited Guatemala and also Livingston some years ago. I love Guatemala ❤
Gracias Timm por mostrarnos tus aventuras por Guatemala, mi país, donde convivimos 4 culturas, la maya, xinca, garífona y ladina. Cada una con cultura rica en historia y gastronomia. Un fuerte abrazo para vos 🤗🇬🇹🇬🇹
Ala' yat q'oyobe’j' chin xq'a tzaloj' pe chupan re q'a tinamit IXIMULEW!!! (KAKCHIKEL). Esperamos que vuelvas a nuestro país GUATEMALA!!!
Never leave your tour person when your in another country. Because he knows who you should avoid and this young man and the camera man could have gotten into some serious trouble. All because he wanted some alcohol. I hope he remembers this going forward. Stay blessed.
Man…this was incredibly authentic. I think, that‘s his secret. His videos take you in theses cultures in a very intimate way. This is outstanding!
Oh my God,am Garifuna American, living in America I didn't know this place exists, I was born in the motherland St Vincent.I will definitely visit that place ,and check for my tour guide Phillips you say his name is.I shared this link to 40 persons back home already ,they're all excited. I'm an elderly at 75 and still strong, still working too " CHATOYER" was my 6th generation Great Grand Father.Garifunas abroad go back to the homeland every year in March on a pilgrimage giving honor to the Paramount Chief Of the Garifuna Nation
I love the tour and the cultural exchange.
Thanks for sharing ur experience. This was nostalgic for me since my family is Garifuna and it has been a while since I have gone back. The girl with the baby braiding ur hair really had me laughing. The guy who want you to buy him a beer, hilarious. When I would go to Livingston, there was a woman who would say to me.... " Hola Prima!" And then ask me for 20 quetzales. And I would give it to her. I didnt know her and I found out she wasn't my cousin! Anyway this was great content. LMAO! The Patron Philip is the wisest man from ur video. He is full of knowledge...You pick a good tour guide.
Hes alive!
Im here bro!!🔥🇬🇹!! Thanks for the support!!
❤ Young Blood I love your outlook on life my brother ❤️ Ride with Jesus Christ in a personal relationship with Him & you'll never go wrong my friend! Your hair is awesome bro!
That town looks so nice and welcoming. I used to live in a place like that in El Salvador back in the early 90s
We must get back to our roots, ❤🙏🏽🙌🥰
What a great experience, and great video, and the people there was so nice accept the tour guide. Because he was very disrespectful to the tourist man and the people that live there and that has nice houses, and saying that the people really don't do much which there was one man that had a bottle of some sort of liquor that pretty much was hanging out and won't disrespect the man because it could be possible that he does work. But I saw alot of people working slicing fishes, ladies cleaning clothes, man maintaining the streets with a shovel in his hand and he's sixty five yrs old, ladies maintaining a restaurant, ladies hairstylist even though the last hairstylist did much more better than the others. And this bitter old rastafarian man walking away from his tourist because he's rushing him probably because he wants to get paid and upset because the tourist stop to look around and to get to know the people, and if you notice when the tourist was drinking the rastafarian said I don't give a f##k I'm out of here, but when it came to the rastafarian to get water it was ok, and when he received the water then he preceded quickly left the tourist once again, and there's something he says when he gets payed he donates to the children, but we don't know if its true or not, because according to the way he acts sounds like he only care of himself and finishing the tour. But all and all I had a great time watching this video, i have to give you credit for the video and for being very patient and respectful to the tour guide that was complaining through out the whole tour, and I'm glad he wasn't around through out the whole video, and if people think I'm being to harsh on the old rastafarian oh well somebody had to say it, because I wouldn't of take it if it was me, and he had the balls to say people are not doing much when clearly they had alot of people working to make it better for everyone.
Mostly it was the women who were working though. The younger men were sitting around drinking.
I meet a girl from Livingston, I work in a shelter and she told me that she was Guatemala and she was black. It took me a long time to believe her until we looked up her home town on UA-cam. She was a riot....😉
