I've stumbled onto something great. Two wonderful millennials, taking the world (literally) by storm with only a few dollars to their name. They are Damon Dominique and Joanna Franco, otherwise known as Damon and Jo.
About a year ago, I was looking at the many study abroad testimonials on YouTube and came across Damon and Jo's channel. Quickly their channel seemed to be something fresh and new to the YouTube word because of their fun-loving best friend personalities. The video I was watching was "10 Very Blunt Study Aboard Tips." It was very interesting because almost right way you good tell they seemed like season travelers. After watching that video it instantly made me click the next video and the next video until I had watched all of their videos posted on their channel. That same day I subscribed to them because they were motivational speakers even though they didn't know it. Damon and Jo encouraged the people who watch them to travel and not to settle for any excuse because if two broke 20 something best friends can do it, you can too. You just have to be willing to "Shut Up and Go."
Fast forward three years later from starting their YouTube channel, Damon and Jo, has become quite a success. Their YouTube is probably the best thing for someone who wants to travel around the world. They have many hacks and tips for when you are traveling, how to find the cheapest flights and teaching you how not to sound like a textbook when learning a language. Also, they speak more than one language fluently.Who wouldn't want to take notes from them? With almost 500,000 subscribers on YouTube, their very own travel blog, and traveling to amazing countries all over the world, I'd say they are living the life.
Most recently Damon and Jo partnered with MTV and Starbucks frappuccino all summer to bring awesome travel videos has they checked off cities on their summer wander list! Be sure to check it out they could be in a city near you!
I believe that everyone wants to travel and see what the world has to offer. Why would you want to stay in one place forever? Why not experience something new, fun, and exciting every day? Life is passing you by as you sit day to day at your nine to five job. So shut up and go travel now! Your Netflix and popcorn will still be there when you get back.
While you are traveling the world, be sure to check out Damon and Jo's YouTube channel and subscribe. I promise you won't regret it!
