I Spent a Day in Haiti's Most Dangerous Slum

Guys I have to be honest with you in this one.  After visiting all 197 countries and thousands of cities around the world, I can say with 100% certainty that Port au Prince, Haiti, takes the crown as THE MOST DANGEROUS.  Yes, more than Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria and Iraq COMBINED. I've never experienced before what I just experienced in Haiti... 80% of the city is controlled by violent street gangs, and when we crossed the sketchy checkpoint to enter the biggest slum called Cite Soleil, we had to get permission from the gang-leading chief to enter.  I can't make this stuff up. I'm just glad that I made it out alive and am here to tell this story.  My heart aches for the people in Haiti, who are living through this disastrous situation.  I hope the country will return to its thriving days like it was a few decades ago. There is so much potential with stunning beaches, smiling faces, and Caribbean vibes. Thanks for watching - it took my team of 4 and myself more than 3 weeks to get this story edited. My hope is that this video sparks conversations that contribute to a broader understanding and ultimately, a positive change for the future of Haiti.
