Video Description

In this episode, I embark on an unforgettable adventure to the floating village of Sampela on the islands of Wakatobi, Indonesia, to live with the indigenous Bajo Tribe for seven days. This heartwarming, adventurous, educational, and inspirational documentary vlog takes you deep into the life and culture of the "Sea Gypsies" of Indonesia. The people that inspired James Cameron for Avatar 2 - Ways of the Water. Support the Bajo people and help them rebuild their mosque here: https://kitabisa.com/sabangtomerauke During my stay, I immerse myself in the daily life of the Bajo Tribe at Sampela, learning about their unique habits, rich culture, and the struggles they face. From traditional fishing techniques to their profound connection with the ocean, every moment is a unique experience. One of the most touching aspects of my visit is witnessing the poor condition of the bridges connecting their floating houses. Moved by their situation, we initiate a large community project, known as Gotong Royong, to rebuild these crucial structures. Watch as the entire village comes together in a remarkable display of unity and resilience to improve their community. In this video, you'll experience: - The adventurous journey from Buton Island to the remote Wakatobi islands. - An in-depth look at the Bajo Tribe's daily routines and cultural practices. - The challenges faced by the community and their resourceful solutions. - The Gotong Royong project to rebuild the village bridges, showcasing the power of community spirit. - Heartwarming interactions and stories from the tribe members. - Breathtaking views of the ocean and vibrant marine life around Wakatobi. Join me in this inspiring documentary vlog as we celebrate the strength, unity, and rich heritage of the Bajo Tribe in Wakatobi, and witness the transformative power of community collaboration. ► MERCHANDISE Did you like my t-shirt and also want to support my journey? • Tokopedia: https://www.tokopedia.com/invictusbasic/etalase/invictus-x-kristian-hansen • Shopee: https://shopee.co.id/invictusbasic?shopCollection=247323479#product_list ► FOLLOW MY JOURNEY • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekristianhansen/ • Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/TheKristianHansen/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/kristianhansen • Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thekristianhansen • Website/Blog: https://www.thekristianhansen.com/ ► HOW TO SUPPORT • Support as a Youtube member: https://rebrand.ly/90ar3p5 • Support the trip (from Indonesia): http://rb.gy/wz3dyz • Support the trip (Worldwide): https://paypal.me/KBHansen • The music from this video: https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/2xtknu ► LIKED MY MUSIC?
