"There's so many moments in life where everything that you want is on the other side of fear". Lowkey, that's some quality wisdom. I feel like that quote's not gettin the love it deserves!
Yeah, I've been to over 40 countries. Brazil is for sure in my top 5. Rio is crazy underrated by travelers. As you said, people think it is dangerous everywhere but that just isn't true.
Great video man! I am half brazilian and half bissau-guinean, and i live in the state of são paulo. I am truly happy to see a black man, along with black friends, get the chance to visit such expensive places in Rio, so they can see that they also need to treat black people with respect. Considering that you are american, you might not have noticed, but brazilian people are really racist, and us, black brazilians, are treated differently in the types of places you went. I am pretty sure you noticed that in the most expensive places, there were only a handful of black people, despite the fact that 50% of the population is black. So, thank you for this, and I hope that you get to visit other places in Brazil!!!
One drop rule does not apply to Brazil.It's ridiculous.Brazil is not USA.We ve been mixed for generation.There is mixed people all around us.Very diverse when it comes to people background.Life is not black and white.There is a rainbow in between.According to IBGE there is PARDO population which represents over 50% of us.Pardo can be anything.Mixed white/black/indigenous/japanese/lebanase/you name it.If you as pardo says that you a black basically you are denying your other half...
@@gersonmatos1251 your response had nothing to do with my previous comment, but let me make things clear for other people that may read this. Firstly, i am not pardo, which could be translated to biracial or mixed race or light skin. You should do your research, because i said i was from Guinea-Bissau, so your first task is to search on the internet about the country... Lol. Secondly, you are writing false information. According to IBGE, negros (in english negroes, which is a word that is not used anymore in the usa, because it may be deemed as offensive) is the word used to describe "pretos" (with the literal translation being "blacks") who are the dark skin people, such as myself; and there is also "pardos", who are more light skin, so for instance, beyonce or alicia keys would be considered "pardas" in Brazil, and according to IBGE, "pardos" are within the major group named as "negroes". So, basically, dark skin people, i.e., blacks are ~10% of the brazilian population; light skin people a.k.a pardos are ~45% of the brazilian population; when you sum both of them, it is 55% of the population, reason why the majority of the population is considered to be negroes, i.e. "black people". Using the people from the video as an example, the chick named livia teresa is light skin, and here in brazil is someone that is considered parda, but as you may have noticed she has super curly hair and other facial caractheristics that "give" her african ancestry, therefore, she is considered black (or in brazil negroes, because here the word is not offensive). People like her comprise 45% of the population and that is undeniable, unless you are living in the south. Now, i got to admit that not every pardo has an african ancestry, with a great number being of native indian ancestry. But nevertheless, the great majority of pardos are of african descent. For instance, the entire family of my fiancee, they are all light skin, but all of them know that they are negroes (blacks). Probably, three or four generations ago, a mixed race relationship happened between a dark skin black and a white person and from that moment on, almost everyone was born light skin, or pardo. But they can't define themselves as mixed race, because all the parents and grandparents are light skin blacks. Now, with all the numbers and explanations that i gave you, if you still wanna believe that there is racial democracy in brazil, start to notice more the reality around you. How many black judges do you know? How many doctors? Dentists? Engineers? How many black presidents Brazil has had? How many governors are/were black? If you go to a restaurant like Outback or Pizza Hut, how many black people will be there? I am black, dark skin, i am lawyer, but i am an exception to the statistics. I work in a major firm with over 30 lawyers and i am the only black. How many black lawyers do you personally know? And from personal experience, i can tell you that i have been followed in restaurants because i am black, people changed sidewalks because i am black, a woman tought i was goind to rob her in the middle of the mall and several other situations that i went through (and family as well). So, i am sorry, but you don't know what you are talking about. Brazil has a high number of racist people and people that, despite not knowing that they are being racist, think that black people should be in an inferior position in the society. There is a LOT OF RACIAL INEQUALITY!

@@inaciojulio In your comment above you stated that brazilians are racist.Well if they are truly racist.Why there is interracial marriages abound in Brazil.You can not see such a thing in USA and in England where I live.They are far and between.As you stated you said you are half brazilian/half guinea bissau.Sorry I just assumed you had any PARDO or mixed from your braziian side.Yes.I know where Guinea Bissau is(don't be patronizing)I I've been to Gambia and Senegal myself(close to Guinea Bissau) Bijajos Islands must be truly beautiful.I never got the chance to set my foot there myself.But If you live in Brazil and its to racist why are you still there?If think you never be able to understand the complexity of Brazil.Negro is a portuguese word borrowed by the english and it has been twisted along the centuries and turn into something not nice to say the least.But in plain portuguese its just a race like caucasian.I find more deamening someone call another person black(preto)which is really insulting in portuguese.And not Beyonce never would be considered PARDO in Brazil.Her hair is kinky.If you got kinky hair chances are you are black in Brazil.Anita is considered black in England(they are up in arms) but in Brazil she is PARDO .And to contrary believe yes there is mixed(pardo) population in Brazil and it is huge.I only see such a thing in Colombia and Venezuela.But Brazil when it comes to diversity hands down wins.If you want to experience truly OVERT racism GO TO USA.They will tell you to your face.Tjhat's way people(groups)segregated themselves in order to fight that.But it is getting out of a hand now.With the incrising LATINO population.It will surpass in 20 years time the WHITE population in USA.You only see now people with mexican heritage in USA now.California,Texas,Arizona,Florida(huge cuban comunities).New York and the list go on.I think the guy in the video had a great time in Rio despite all the racism.(he did not display that in this video).Maybe because he had the cash to splash....who knows...???

As a Brazilian myself and a citizen of Rio, it's nice to see an optimistic perception of our country. Brazilians have a habit of just being negative, even though they're mostly right to be mad, it doesn't change anything though. Change starts with acting upon it, not just complaining. But I've always had hope for our country. Maybe one day things can change for the better.
Im a brazilian, and i wanted to show how is brazil and rio to my girl friend, this was far far away the best video EVER to show her... thanks a lot man, perfect video
Myself and a group of friends just came back from from Rio de Janeiro and i have to give props when props are due. Without watching this video we wouldnt have known about the great things to do such as hangliding and where to explore. I think the biggest takeaway for us was meeting OBI the tour guide. He treated us like family and made sure we had a great time. There was no danger what so ever in the favelas. Nowhere near what people usually have to say about it. Leaving rio was probably the worse pain i’ve felt in a long time
I like to travel 3-5 times a year, and one longer trip (4 weeks) each year. These videos help tremendously, thank you! It's very hard to find travel videos for adults who don't care to stay in hostels and live off $25 a day. Good break down of things to do, places to see, visuals, and you and the crew having a good time. Big props for the donations to the local foundations while there too, always looking to give back in the areas I visit.
@Rick and Morty that girl is mixed!If you want to brag about real pure black women go to your un mixed african women that wear weaves and wigs!Putting race in everything here.
all your videos blow me away but this is one is absolutely the best production in your repertoire -audio, video, location, shots and narration is 11/10 all through. the soundtrack opener is heavenly, Lord!!!!. Jubril your team is the absolute best. love the amount of work and detail you put into your projects. i have watched this video like 10 times already.
Stayed at the Hilton Copacabana right on the beach! Rio is spectacular and if you are ever there, be sure to take the helicopter tour using Vertical Rio. Hovered above and around Christ the Redeemer - an awesome experience.
I had a great time in Rio and Salvador in 2017. Really enjoyed Salvador more to due its Afro culture and atmosphere; however there is more to do in Rio. Regardless, you can get it in wherever you are in Brazil
Very informative accurate information. I am American but been visiting Brazil for 23 years. Mostly Rio de Janeiro. I am a jiu-jitsu fighter. The beaches in Rio are so beautiful. The women in Brazil are so beautiful. And it's best for anyone that goes down there to try and learn a little bit of Portuguese
Eu moro no Rio de Janeiro, todos os lugares que você foi, eu sempre estou indo. aqui tem muita variedade de lugares para curtir, seja lá o que for. Adorei o vídeo, descreveu a minha cidade do jeito que ela é. Congratulations.
8 Years alredy damn….i remember ur first videos man, i even applied for the job as ur photographer back in the day. Always nice to Watch ur content bro. Keep going.
Just reached out to your channel now. Possibly one of the best videos about Rio and life there , I have ever seen. Usually all you see are backpackers and budget travellers, this time we could see a variety of choices affordable and really classy there, thanks for that
For me is the best video explanation about Rio de Janeiro! I'm Brazilian and I like to watch your videos hope to see you one day in Brazil or in Ireland where I leave now...
Pleased to hear that you broke out of the stereotypes of people who have never been to Brazil (Rio) regarding the safety of the country and city. You are correct, no worse then any major city in the U.S. (Chicago, N.Y., L.A., etc) and you conduct yourself the same with where you go and where you don’t go. The next time you and your crew have to visit Salvador, Bahia in the northeast where 60 - 70% of the people have more African heritage and tradition due to the city was a major slave port when Africans were en route to South and North America. Wonderful city and excellent vibe!!...Tchau!!
Dude! There are a bunch of countries in the Caribbean that are more than 90% black. What is true is Brazil has the biggest population of blacks outside of Africa. Salvador is the blackest city of Brazil. By the way, I've been to Salvador.
Another phenomenal video, Jubril! Beleza cara! :) I recognized the churrascaria as well - been there a few times. Let me know if you want to go back for carnival this year or the next. ;)
Man, you have made the best video on Rio I have seen on UA-cam. I turn 60 in 2 years and have plans to visit Brasil for two weeks. I do have friends in Rio and in other areas of the country. I love the culture and am a big fan of Bossa Nova and Samba. I have been studying Rio and you hit some of the neighborhoods I want to visit and stay in. You made this video fun to watch. Your video cemented my plans. Subscribed! Please keep up the good work.
I love Brazil. I been a few times and there are always so many new things to see and do. The people were most accommodating at every level. I would need several weeks to really tour Rio. I need to start planning a trip.
Really good video and great cinematography! I live in Rio for almost 9 years, born in the country side of the state, and this city still amazes me all the time. Your content is really well done, keep the good work!
Brings back beautiful memories of my time in Rio. Lapa, Christo, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana, Ipanema, Barre Shopping and listening to Bossa Nova on the sidewalks of Ipanema beach.
Ayyyeee, I get soo hyped when ya' videos come on bruh! Always an inspiration. So happy to see a brotha' prospering like this. Keep doin' ya' thing bruh buh! P.S. Brazil is too lit!
Sensacional!! Edição perfeita e o jeito que ele fala e a dicção prende a gente até o final!! Só que assim né, turismo de luxo total... É possível ir pro Rio e pagar beeeem menos! Para quem ganha em dolar rio nem é caro, agora pra brasileiro... pelo menos pra mim que moro no ES a diferença é grande.
I love your work! Every bit of what you stand for from rebranding places that do not necessarily have the best public image to supporting all of these small businesses to you. Keep up the good work! Your show inspired me to want to learn film production.
Hi JP, my name is Vinicius or call me Maka, i am obi's older brother, I am living in melbourne - Australia, i just want to thank you for the footage that you did about my favela, my family, the marketing involving rio, great work man touched my heart to see this video and helping to spread the love and honest reality about my place, god bless you all and the doors are always opened to you. "Gentileza gera Gentileza".
Jubril, the videos you put together with the passportheavy team are truly truly amazing ! I'm a huge fan. Also, I'll be travelling across Colombia and Brazil in January/February so your vids make me even more excited, I literally can't wait ! Small suggestion : in order to put out more videos maybe you could section out long videos like this one into 3 or 4 shorther vids. You could for example separate food, activities, accomodation, etc... It would allow us to have content from you guys more frequently and it would also drive more people to the channel. But anyways, like always, can't wait for the next one !
I can't wait for us to visit my baby's country Brasil🇧🇷 (wink Mia Rio). Wait till we visit my country Panama🇵🇦. We might have to hold out on the other side of me the Cuban 🇨🇺side.
Boa Noite,tudo bem? I hope to relocate in Brazil. Do you have any advice? Do you know about Cabo Frio? Where can I find information regarding arrial Cabo and Cabo Frio (Real State,Women, Family,...)?
Great! You had a good time in Rio, I am from Rio, but I live in California, I miss my place so much! You did a great job in this video my friend, this is my country! We are blessed from God, if my people they had enough education, we could do better a better Brazil. Thank you so much for this video, and you are welcome in Brazil... always my friend!
Bruh...first of all the quality of your videos has improved drastically. They were always good...but you have definitely stepped your game up. Second, this was very informative. I’m going to put this info to good use.
Great video. I was born in Rio and im living in florida for 3 years. I really miss my city. Watching it helped and made me happy. Thanks for that and feel at home in Rio whenever you are there.
Sua câmera tinha que ter passado pelo 397... Vendo esse lado aí dos ricos , realmente é maravilhoso. E sua edição ficou + perfeito ainda. Quem sabe um dia quando eu ganhar na loteria eu consigo ver o Rio assim, por enquanto vou vendo pelo 397 ...
Eu ate' concordo com voce, mas como ele mesmo disse no video, quando voce visita NY por exemplo, voce nao vai no brooklyn tlgd. Mesma coisa se aplica ao RJ, vc nao vai querer visitar a parte feia da cidade

Thanks Jubril, you helped me to discover Medellin, and now you've made this great video about Rio. I don't have to do a lot of research by myself now. Everything is laid out here! 👌🏾
Man you got me overwhelmed with memories again. Like everyone said this is another excellent video! I plan to spend more time outside the city this time heading north on the coast because they say most beaches on that stretch have sand and water color like the Caribbean. Marica, Cabo Frio, and Buzios are the most famous towns that my Brazilian friends from Rio escape too, so I am down. Excellent work Passport Heavy!

@@PassportHeavyhow much would it cost in American dollars to buy a home out there?
For me is the best video explanation about Rio de Janeiro! I'm Brazilian and I like to watch your videos hope to see you one day in Brazil or in Ireland where I leave now...
Nice to see a Brotha travelling and enjoying life💪🏿🤴🏿!! GREAT VIBES + GREAT VIDEO!!!
Brazil is a Blessed place ... I have been to Bahia - Trancoso and the vibe was incredible 😍 one of the most amazing experiences in my life
your face when your pilot wanted to be a "cowboy".... DEAD bro!!! Sick video!! this one was well put together guys!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Actually made me feel like I was there laughin haha
Best tourist destination in the world! Lucky man you are.
My boi Jubril living the rich life. I absolutely love your vids man. Damn I wish I could meet you during my travels someday.
Pleased to hear that you broke out of the stereotypes of people who have never been to Brazil (Rio) regarding the safety of the country and city. You are correct, no worse then any major city in the U.S. (Chicago, N.Y., L.A., etc) and you conduct yourself the same with where you go and where you don’t go. The next time you and your crew have to visit Salvador, Bahia in the northeast where 60 - 70% of the people have more African heritage and tradition due to the city was a major slave port when Africans were en route to South and North America. Wonderful city and excellent vibe!!...Tchau!!
You should go to Salvador-Bahia. The blackest city outside Africa.
This statement is so untrue!
@@donbsweet5001 do your research son!
Dude! There are a bunch of countries in the Caribbean that are more than 90% black. What is true is Brazil has the biggest population of blacks outside of Africa. Salvador is the blackest city of Brazil. By the way, I've been to Salvador.
@@donbsweet5001 actually it's the USA. There are 36 million blacks blacks only make 15% of population of Brazil
The.#1 T Second is Brazil with 55 million, the states being around 46/47 million. So very close
Thank you for taking the time to visit the favelas. I really appreciate that you took the time to talk about it.💕
Everyone is part of the community.
Another phenomenal video, Jubril! Beleza cara! :) I recognized the churrascaria as well - been there a few times. Let me know if you want to go back for carnival this year or the next. ;)
As someone born and raised in Rio, I appreciate you showing the positive sides of the city. ❤️. Miss home. Saudades.
Uma pena ser uma cidade completamente tomada pela bandidagem
Muito bom ver o Rio sob um olhar positivo
Man, you have made the best video on Rio I have seen on UA-cam. I turn 60 in 2 years and have plans to visit Brasil for two weeks. I do have friends in Rio and in other areas of the country. I love the culture and am a big fan of Bossa Nova and Samba. I have been studying Rio and you hit some of the neighborhoods I want to visit and stay in. You made this video fun to watch. Your video cemented my plans. Subscribed! Please keep up the good work.
I'm officially on a mission to get to Rio after seeing this vlog!
This is my first video and I’m only 1 minute in and dude you’re skin looks AMAZING. 🤴🏾
Edit: Omg I’m from Chicago too
I love Brazil. I been a few times and there are always so many new things to see and do. The people were most accommodating at every level. I would need several weeks to really tour Rio. I need to start planning a trip.
I live in Massachusetts and I am from Rio! Love my city! Thank you for this beautiful video! ❤️❤️❤️
I need to go there like RIGHT NOW!
9:28-10:02 you got me dying with laughter I don’t know how many times I replayed that part😂😂😂 Keep up the good work.
😂
I thought I was gonna pass out haha *Jubril
Finally another black vlogger there's not cringy. Hard to find actually
Cokebyparis me next
This is the first black vlogger I found can you direct me to other similar channels?
@@marilynreno7510 shut up biatch
@@alrajul3ziim please don't talk about yo mama like that. Stay triggered boo
@@Ctwashere look for black in *insert country*
Jabril, you are so generous and really know how to make people feel welcomed for crossing paths with you.
This is what I subscribed for. Awesome content!
I love your spirit! This video is so informative and inspiring. Definitely putting Brazil on my list 🙌🏿
*And your lady is beautiful 😍👑
Wanna go to Rio so bad 😍😍😍🙌🙏
You should make it happen
My favorite city to visit.... Miss it dearly
Watch your wallet once you're there.
Me too...
Let’s go! Hit me up, I’ll take you!
Really good video and great cinematography! I live in Rio for almost 9 years, born in the country side of the state, and this city still amazes me all the time.
Your content is really well done, keep the good work!
Well what can I say...🇧🇷 simply amazing energy & thanking you 🇧🇷
Cinematography is awesome but it's like to watch a non stop ad. It's like it is a one big endorsement video. Less ads more travel man 👍
Man, I love your video a lot! I just got back from my trip to Rio and I already want to plan a return trip! Rio is just magical.
Brings back beautiful memories of my time in Rio. Lapa, Christo, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana, Ipanema, Barre Shopping and listening to Bossa Nova on the sidewalks of Ipanema beach.
Hang Gliding in Rio was one of the best experiences I've ever had.
I’m happy you enjoyed it more than me haha *Jubril
I’m happy you enjoyed it more than me haha *Jubril
Ayyyeee, I get soo hyped when ya' videos come on bruh! Always an inspiration. So happy to see a brotha' prospering like this. Keep doin' ya' thing bruh buh!
P.S. Brazil is too lit!
Appreciate that energy * Jubril
The most underrated Travel Channel
Sensacional!! Edição perfeita e o jeito que ele fala e a dicção prende a gente até o final!! Só que assim né, turismo de luxo total... É possível ir pro Rio e pagar beeeem menos! Para quem ganha em dolar rio nem é caro, agora pra brasileiro... pelo menos pra mim que moro no ES a diferença é grande.
Sim
500 mil em uma PEnthause ? eu pegava esse dinheiro e comprava um AP por aqui mesmo....
You are so positive man! Keep doing your amazing thing!!! What camera did you use?
Love your work , the quality and editing of your videos is amazing.
Videos like this really make you want to go experience the world
WOW bro,
You're living the life others dream of.
Bless up
Keep following your bliss.

I love your work! Every bit of what you stand for from rebranding places that do not necessarily have the best public image to supporting all of these small businesses to you. Keep up the good work! Your show inspired me to want to learn film production.
Meu Brasil é muito lindo 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi JP, my name is Vinicius or call me Maka, i am obi's older brother, I am living in melbourne - Australia, i just want to thank you for the footage that you did about my favela, my family, the marketing involving rio, great work man touched my heart to see this video and helping to spread the love and honest reality about my place, god bless you all and the doors are always opened to you. "Gentileza gera Gentileza".
Ace Kids Parties he told us about you and showed us your pictures!!! Thank you so much for enjoying and our regards to your family! ❤️
these videos are a work of art,,,just phenomenal..
Jubril, the videos you put together with the passportheavy team are truly truly amazing ! I'm a huge fan. Also, I'll be travelling across Colombia and Brazil in January/February so your vids make me even more excited, I literally can't wait !
Small suggestion : in order to put out more videos maybe you could section out long videos like this one into 3 or 4 shorther vids. You could for example separate food, activities, accomodation, etc... It would allow us to have content from you guys more frequently and it would also drive more people to the channel. But anyways, like always, can't wait for the next one !
Shout out to the ladies tho..beautiful views on beautiful views!
Yesssssss nice touch
Best travel guide to Rio ever! Can’t wait to go there one day! Ever since City of God came out 🏝
'bout time! We've been waiting on this one forever! My beautiful hometown!
Yep your city did not disappoint. Incredible place to visit. 💪🏿💪🏿 *Jubril
Your so lucky to call it home! Michelle Miller
I can't wait for us to visit my baby's country Brasil🇧🇷 (wink Mia Rio). Wait till we visit my country Panama🇵🇦. We might have to hold out on the other side of me the Cuban 🇨🇺side.
Boa Noite,tudo bem?
I hope to relocate in Brazil.
Do you have any advice?
Do you know about Cabo Frio?
Where can I find information regarding arrial Cabo and Cabo Frio (Real State,Women, Family,...)?
@Truth Obrigada!
Damn,this brings back pleasant memories of my time in Rio on July 2018 .
The best 2 weeks of my life.
Definitely going back right after Covid.
Falem bem ou Falem mal, o Rio de Janeiro continua lindo e atraindo muitos turistas
I’m going next month , I’m speak badly but at least I’m trying right 🤣🥰🥰🥰😍
@@CMMCNATIONtodo mundo que fala mal. Quando conhece, se apaixona e não quer mais largar
Great!
You had a good time in Rio, I am from Rio, but I live in California, I miss my place so much!
You did a great job in this video my friend, this is my country! We are blessed from God, if my people they had enough education, we could do better a better Brazil.
Thank you so much for this video, and you are welcome in Brazil... always my friend!
I LIVE for PassportHeavy content!
Mzie Moyo facts
Bruh...first of all the quality of your videos has improved drastically. They were always good...but you have definitely stepped your game up. Second, this was very informative. I’m going to put this info to good use.
O Brasil e mesmo um país com muitas belezas naturais . I love my country !
❤️
Great video. I was born in Rio and im living in florida for 3 years. I really miss my city. Watching it helped and made me happy. Thanks for that and feel at home in Rio whenever you are there.
Sua câmera tinha que ter passado pelo 397...
Vendo esse lado aí dos ricos , realmente é maravilhoso. E sua edição ficou + perfeito ainda. Quem sabe um dia quando eu ganhar na loteria eu consigo ver o Rio assim, por enquanto vou vendo pelo 397 ...
Eu ate' concordo com voce, mas como ele mesmo disse no video, quando voce visita NY por exemplo, voce nao vai no brooklyn tlgd. Mesma coisa se aplica ao RJ, vc nao vai querer visitar a parte feia da cidade
@@Rafael-ol1ie Até Pq Rio é uma cidade turística e toda cidade turística oferece o melhor, o mais bonito e conforto para turistas e gringos!
@@Rafael-ol1ie exatamente! Além que oque ele mostrou no vídeo, oque tem de caro e luxuoso é só a hospedagem
Hi bro I just love your videos, it’s amazing and thanks to you I had amazing time, respect ✊
My City ... I miss Rio... but Rio is not only South side ... North side has hiphop street parties ( Madureira )... u need try anothe foodies : coxinhas, pastel , Acai
LMAOOO 😂 tha heck...
@@Starfox406 me fala onde tem festa de rua? so zona norte ...
Awesome Vid, loved it.The video you and your team produced is very inspiring, great quality and great music.Have subscribed, look forward to more cool vids from you.
All The Best from Down Under Australia
Omg!!! Wow amazing video!!! Used to live in RIO!!! I love your energy and how happy you are. Thanks for the info and best wishes for the new year!! Beleza 👍
Obrigada 🙏🏻
Laterally the best video about Rio on UA-cam !!!! Amazing job !
i fell in love with rio in 2016, and i miss it every day :_(
spot on advice about the driver, its what i did, best decision ever!
cant move over there tho', taxes are just toooo hiiigh. and they directly diddle your bank account too, no privacy laws.
*govt corrupt AF.* really really really sad bc its _not_ the people. lets hope their new president can clean things up.
Thanks Jubril, you helped me to discover Medellin, and now you've made this great video about Rio. I don't have to do a lot of research by myself now. Everything is laid out here! 👌🏾
You just earned a new subbie.
Video quality is outstanding!. Keep up the great work man
Thank you I really appreciate that *Jubril
Me too!
Im from Rio and Im very happy to see tourists that feeling our real vibe :)
SUPER COOL!
It was interesting to see my city through the eyes of a gringo, so, thanks! High class trip all the way!
Man you got me overwhelmed with memories again. Like everyone said this is another excellent video! I plan to spend more time outside the city this time heading north on the coast because they say most beaches on that stretch have sand and water color like the Caribbean. Marica, Cabo Frio, and Buzios are the most famous towns that my Brazilian friends from Rio escape too, so I am down. Excellent work Passport Heavy!
I’m def trying to become a digital nomad. Camera skills crazy photography and videography. Music producer and dj as welll
excellent footage and the references are priceless.....thanks you are a inspiration chicago stand up !!!
Im from Rio de janeiro Brazil 🇧🇷 ❤️ 🇺🇸 Im live San Diego CA
Love your videos!!! Surprised travel channel hasn't picked you up with a multi-million dollar deal.
Everything in Due time, we would rather go Netflix , Hulu, Amazon prime route etc
Another brilliant video. Black excellence at its finest. Keep climbing brother!
Videos like yours are so rare about Brasil. Thanks for posting this. Your documentation is what I remember about Brasil. A great, positive experience. Peace!
Melhor vídeo já feito do Rio. Amei ❤🇧🇷
Thank you for the informative video bro Keep it up! Very motivating
