      Either hope, or insanity, The Darien gap is synonymous with tragic consequence and demise - a lone traveler has a very poor Chace of surviving such a perilous attempt. It is fraught with marauding gangs of drug smugglers, millitant fugitives and outcasts of society. Any presence is a threat to their cover, and sternly I'll advised. You are looked upon as spy, and frequently dispatched then and there, never to be heard of again, lest your skeletal remains be discovered months, or even years later, strewn across the jungle floor after having been ripped open, dismembered and consumed by Wild ravenous scavenging animals.

    I felt Adam choked after speaking to the Nepalese guy who traveled alone and seeing him leaving by himself.. And when Adam asked where he got all the strength, the guy said the most powerful words, “faith in God.” Adam felt for the guy who showed him what courage and faith is about, and made him realize how lucky he was.

    im cuban and icompleted this journey when i was 12 in 2016 along with my parents and other migrants we met in the way i safely made it to the united states but i would never do it again and dont recommend it to anyone, it is the hardest thing ever. And we saw many people die or get deported in the way. out of a group of 10 cubans who where with us during the journey 2 of them are still very close friends with us and we meet for every Christmas/ birthdays/new year/ and thanksgiving because is like if we were a real family and each other is all we got in this country. The people in this video had it easy we didnt have anyfood aside for brown sugar and uncooked oatmeal we made with the water from the river. and my mom and i got our periods there and we didnt have supplies. it is important to not take everything for granted and be grateful for everything you have even if its just a little

    • @danielyruby8696
      @danielyruby8696 6 років тому +58

      Hi Brian. No, I'm not Latin. How I ended up in Colombia.? Well, the economy in the US a number of years ago was horrible. I was in my mid 40s then and I decided to take a trip. I had a friend I met on line who lived in Bogota and she invited me to visit a few years ago. So I took a plane from Detroit to Bogota and once I arrived here I knew I had to stay. I found another woman here in Bogota that I am in the process of going into business with. The cell/internet service is much slower than in the US, but it is still better than it was on my first trip years ago. Overall no complaints though, Am I going back to Detroit? Not anytime soon,... Oh by the way, I live in barrio Bosa in the south.

    • @byrlink

      Interesting story. I’m 40 and came to the US when I was 22. It’s funny how now some people are going from here to Colombia to visit or retire there. Venezuelans are also migrating massively to Colombia.
      Until a few years ago, and for many decades, it was extremely difficult to find some foreigner daring to even visit Colombia.
      We also lived in Bogotá, in the 80’s, in Engativá, right next to the airport, when that area was still the countryside. Then moved and grew up in Armenia, Quindío.
      Isn’t the Bosa area kind of dangerous, like Detroit is right now?

    • @danielyruby8696
      @danielyruby8696 6 років тому +23

      Yeah, thats the sterotype here is the south is dangerous...However, I got robbed at gunpoint and at knifepoint in Parque Nacional close to Chapenero last April. Crime is all over regardless of the neighborhood. I will say this, I have yet to see anything as violent as Detroit here. Nothing close to the burned out neighborhoods Detroit offers, nor the murders. Maybe Palmira, close to Cali has violence like Detroit. But getting a cedula here is almost impossible unless you have serious money. Even getting married here is not easy. The Notarias have clamped down hard and make up excuses why not to approve papers. The term Byzantine is very fitting here regarding government regulations. Ive overstayed my tourist visa twice in the past 4 years and had to pay a 550,000 pesos fine each time. Seems to me its cheaper and easier to pay the fine than to be legal here....

      People can brave and make it through the Darien Gap of all places, one that is so dangerous, that it is classified as one of the dangerous in the world with all the wilderness, criminal gangs, terrorist groups, and poisonous snakes, insects, etc. like crazy, yet you can't fight for your own country. That is where any sense leaves all people with some common sense...

    Thank you 🙏🏼 with all my heart, for showing us the daily life, the difficulties that many human beings have to go through, to try to have a better life. And it must be worse if they run into the wrong people.
    They got to travel with other people and it's really enriching.
    I might not know what they went through and felt until I experienced it myself.
    This nepalese man, I wish he was happy no matter where he is now, and everyone else. Whenever I wanted to complain for nothing, I would think back to all those human beings who leave everything to hope to find a brighter sun elsewhere. Hand on heart! Thank you to Adam Yamaguchi.

    I'm from Suriname, many Cubans, Venezuelans and Haïtians live here, some of them continue their journey to the US, many of the choose to stay and live here. It's sad to see how they suffer. In general, most of them are nice and humble people.

    These refugees need our prayers, our love, and our help, no matter where you live and where the refugees are coming from. Reach out your hand, help, pray with them, and show them the love of Jesus. We are here attempting to do this in S.A.
