WHEN INSPIRATION STRIKES, YOU GOTTA ACT ON IT! (also when your eyes no longer work and you have a unique angle for a typical vlog, you bring the camera)!
I feel like you're speaking even more french in your videos lately since you took time off and i love it!! its like you probably got used to speaking more french and less english while not filming, maybe im wrong but it shows how you can evolve over time as an expat and its so cool to see! love this mundane stuff too, even watching daily errands is fun to watch in another country!!!
Damon I’m a long time viewer and I just want to say how full of joy I am that you’re posting again! LITERALLY NO ONE DOES IT LIKE YOU 👏 I love this corner of the internet, you bring such a special presence. Keep it up, this is ART 💖
The video we were all waiting for. I wont lie, I like the more relaxed videos, no need for any antics, it cool just to see relaxing days and going about doing errands.
About the point of formal style essays. Writing in such a rigid way can feel a little bit dry/unnecessary BUT it is a great way to deepen your understanding of a topic and it forces you to read a lot more and include a lot more evidence to prove your points than other mediums. Plus, even in the formality, there's room for creativity and to create a beautiful piece of writing.
your video style is unmatched! So much fun to watch and get a glimpse of your day to day life, all while learning about french healthcare system and pondering over academic institutions and practices. Keep them coming, Damon!
After probably near a decade of watching you, I'm planning to move to Paris in August. Feels so full circle. What an inspiration you've been to me. Even when I wasnt thinking about it, you were in the back of my mind telling me to dream bigger for myself.
Thank you thank you for posting. I’ve missed these glimpses of your life. I get why you needed to take a break and I celebrate that you did that for yourself. And I’m REALLY glad you’re back! I really look forward to your videos! If ever you doubt that what you’re doing has any value, yes it does. ❤
AHHHH my jaw dropped what a small world, I literally live around 13:57 !!! My favourite thing about watching Paris vlogs is spotting places I’ve been to before, this one hits a lot closer to home than usual 😌
Loving that you're showing more everyday interactions in french! It helps me in learning the language myself. Question: after the clerk tells you that the bolt/screw you were looking for is upstairs, you say "allez-t'age (?)" But, probably not bc why would you mention their age.. what word are you using there? @11:45 help! - signed a slow, but consistent french learner 😊
I'm a beginner french learner myself, but I believe the word they were using was "a l'étage" which means upstairs! French can be so confusing when spoken fast ahah
Deux trucs à te dire: d’abord, j’ADORE que tu te fais rire constamment! Ça fait rire des followers et on a tous besoin de ça😊 Ensuite, je suis prof de français aux USA depuis 35 ans et je suis tout à fait d’accord que les systèmes scolaires partout au monde sont foutus. Ce cours que tu décrivais n’a rien à voir avec une thèse formelle. C’est un truc vétusté que le système continue à garder pour se donner une prestige factice! Love your content!!!
Damon really out here conquering the world learning everything he possibly can to increase his quality of life. Even something as simple as learning how to use chopsticks to further enjoy the experience of his go-to meals à la cuisine asiatique. You use those chopsticks Damon! 🍜
A lot of the times one of the reasons why you can get asked to do a dissertation is not to test on whether you have learned the subject but as a way for you to do more research and go into the topic. Usually in a dissertation you pick the topic or the angle that you write about. It's not a checklist of regurgitating facts but it should be an analysis lead by you about the certain aspects you find interesting. For example a dissertation for an english degree isn't a list of what was discussed in the lectures but it could be something like "The effects of how language has influenced Comic Books" or whatever. It's applying what you have learned and researching more into in to arrive to your own conclusions. I hope that makes sense?
J’étais à Paris la semaine dernière pour la première fois!! Et je suis passée au passage Molière par hasard, tellllleement de belles choses! Des beaux papiers japonais et des belles choses de papeterie!
Such a great video! I’m actually rewatching it again now, even though it’s basically a lifestyle vlog, but you manage to make literally anything engaging Damon istg
I love watching your videos because you’re talented and you fricking remind me of me--so it’s like self analysis watching you!!!! Raves, dancing, sarcastic AF, curious, I got my Masters in Paris and Bretagne and speak French fluently, no American accent, Spanish, and Italian. Polyglot. Love thrifting, nutrition, clean eating, helping others, my awesome Cajun family in Louisiana--love my grandparents and cousins! I’m definitely a travelaholic!!!!!! I’ve not been back to France since before Covid--can’t wait to go back and EAT and visit friends. I love the French in your videos, as I don’t need subtitles, I just understand it. Thanks for the language, philosophy, comedy, and pondering!❤❤❤❤
would love to get a how you film, storyboard, and edit your videos. the cinematic feel to your vlogs is soooooo entrancing!! particularly interested to know what camera you use 👀
12:35 i bet you could just look up the size of that screw (not the one with the sharp point in the end) and find a replacement at the gardware store. It might not look the same but itll get the job done without having to buy a whole new mic.
first things first, i am so living for you being back with the videos ✨ interesting that you mention why you can't do daily contact lenses...i take a ton of medication for chronic illnesses and it's always a big thing to consider when travelling or thinking of living of moving countries
So I watched this video after not seeing any of yours for a long time. First, just wanted to thank you for sharing your interesting life and point of view. Also, I wanted to say how impressive it is to see the maturity that has developed in your content. From the entire approach, to the technical skill- it’s just so apparent that you keep getting so much better. Whether or not it is apparent to you, I can see it and wanted to say kudos!!🎉
Holaaa, could you make a video about how you find these different methods of continuing to learn different things that interest you? (like the existential school thing or herbal medicine) - thnxs
4:00 same thing happens in Argentina and im so over it. you have to make an appointment, then go purchase a "bono" before your appointment even tho you already have a medical care assistance thingy. then you go to the pharmacy to buy meds, and they also ask if you have another one of those "mutuales" ahhhhhhh i hate adult life
Your constant commitment to learning is so inspiring 🥲🥹 sometimes I forget that there are a million fascinating things to learn on top of what i already focus on. Thanks for the reminder that curiosity should be limitless ❤
Also, next time you come to the US, you should vlog a trip to Chicago, exploring cool neighborhoods outside of downtown, I think you’d be quite impressed for US city standards.
But the mutuelle is like 20 - 30 euros a month and it covers the other 30% so most of the time I pay nothing at the visits! Yes it’s not free that’s true but it beats paying $200 a month for health insurance and still paying out of pocket for visits, medications, etc
That thumbnail angle, my double chin could never
Double chins are valid!
Not “back to leave you on READ” 😭 he was not having the jokes lmao
WE BACK ON THE STREETS BABY!! I've been loving Damons sit down videos and now got erday vlogs, wow he spoling us yall
WHEN INSPIRATION STRIKES, YOU GOTTA ACT ON IT! (also when your eyes no longer work and you have a unique angle for a typical vlog, you bring the camera)!
Love getting a glimpse into everyday life like this!
I feel like you're speaking even more french in your videos lately since you took time off and i love it!! its like you probably got used to speaking more french and less english while not filming, maybe im wrong but it shows how you can evolve over time as an expat and its so cool to see! love this mundane stuff too, even watching daily errands is fun to watch in another country!!!
saaaame! I'm working on my french and this helps

Damon I’m a long time viewer and I just want to say how full of joy I am that you’re posting again! LITERALLY NO ONE DOES IT LIKE YOU 👏 I love this corner of the internet, you bring such a special presence. Keep it up, this is ART 💖

I would love to see more videos like this 🙌 just love your character and the vibe of the video
I totally agree!👏☺️
Damon, you are so entertaining and manage to make your every day feel authentic, aesthetic, and surreal at the same time. Happy to have you back.
THE COLOR GRADING. in love.
The video we were all waiting for. I wont lie, I like the more relaxed videos, no need for any antics, it cool just to see relaxing days and going about doing errands.

Seeing the food you made today made me think of your cooking video like a year and a half ago and all I can say is … GROWTH
We were all waiting for this and hoping it would be sarcastic, chaotic and witty as it should be 😂 slay
I love how you can transform a simple vlog into a philosophical thought-provoking impulse at the end. Really enjoyed this!
your video style is unmatched! So much fun to watch and get a glimpse of your day to day life, all while learning about french healthcare system and pondering over academic institutions and practices. Keep them coming, Damon!
I LOVE the old Damon...Paris Damon, watching you live in Paris is so anchoring, merci bel homme !
French bureaucracy -- yes even for eye drops -- is your absolutely funniest material. 🤣
it is truly lovely to see how enchanted you are by the city even after you've been living there for a while
After probably near a decade of watching you, I'm planning to move to Paris in August. Feels so full circle. What an inspiration you've been to me. Even when I wasnt thinking about it, you were in the back of my mind telling me to dream bigger for myself.
Thank you for providing me with a mini trip to Paris this morning.
Thank you thank you for posting. I’ve missed these glimpses of your life. I get why you needed to take a break and I celebrate that you did that for yourself. And I’m REALLY glad you’re back! I really look forward to your videos! If ever you doubt that what you’re doing has any value, yes it does. ❤
It’s so easy to get lost in these videos, such good editing!
AHHHH my jaw dropped what a small world, I literally live around 13:57 !!! My favourite thing about watching Paris vlogs is spotting places I’ve been to before, this one hits a lot closer to home than usual 😌
i love it how he made paris look cyberpunck !
Just know that your videos are on another level, and I love your wit 😁. The 80’s/90’s style of the videos is everything aswell
Damon really read the comments about us liking this format and he’s DELIVERING MORE
WE LOVE YOU DAMON (keep doing videos like that, we love them)
Loving that you're showing more everyday interactions in french! It helps me in learning the language myself.

I just love watching your videos! These everyday life ones are so interesting for those of us that don’t live in Paris 😄
The fact that you’ve started to post again has made me sooo happy. Love your attitude and editing style. Just went on another old Damon video binge.
Damon can cook now ! He replaced the one fork 🔥
Thanks for taking us with you around Paris, welcome back ❤
Dude I love how you make yourself laugh 😆

Ok your vlog is my therapy. I can’t explain it. I am just hooked.
Idk why you don’t have 1M subs! Your videos are so unique and truly inspiring to watch.
Yes! still love these.
I just Shazamed the song at 13:38 and I am LIVING!! it’s so dance around your room
What’s the song? ❤
Damon really out here conquering the world learning everything he possibly can to increase his quality of life. Even something as simple as learning how to use chopsticks to further enjoy the experience of his go-to meals à la cuisine asiatique. You use those chopsticks Damon! 🍜

loved the little tips around paris! was searching for a reasonable tofu seller for some time
J’étais à Paris la semaine dernière pour la première fois!! Et je suis passée au passage Molière par hasard, tellllleement de belles choses! Des beaux papiers japonais et des belles choses de papeterie!
Your videos moved me so much Damon as a new viewer of yours I literally just got to Paris and I plan to live as fabulously as you
have fun!!
Such a great video! I’m actually rewatching it again now, even though it’s basically a lifestyle vlog, but you manage to make literally anything engaging Damon istg

Still very much obsessed with you ! Great video ☺
Love seeing you thriving!
12:35 i bet you could just look up the size of that screw (not the one with the sharp point in the end) and find a replacement at the gardware store. It might not look the same but itll get the job done without having to buy a whole new mic.
Yess!! It truly is a benefit to push the accent sometimes ! We missed you btw ... J'espère que ça va !!
I'm 74 and I love your videos!
first things first, i am so living for you being back with the videos ✨ interesting that you mention why you can't do daily contact lenses...i take a ton of medication for chronic illnesses and it's always a big thing to consider when travelling or thinking of living of moving countries

The way you started the video off with piping hot early morning tea was so iconic. He wants you so bad
Ugh your editing is top tier
Holaaa, could you make a video about how you find these different methods of continuing to learn different things that interest you? (like the existential school thing or herbal medicine) - thnxs
paris looks so beautiful with the rain ! i love it❤
you are so cool! it's my first time watching your video, your editing is amazing! subscribed instantly!
lol. this is my experience living in France, the memories. the burocracy. the going to different places for different med tests or to do admin.
YEEEES! more blogs please!!!! the people demands!
4:00 same thing happens in Argentina and im so over it. you have to make an appointment, then go purchase a "bono" before your appointment even tho you already have a medical care assistance thingy. then you go to the pharmacy to buy meds, and they also ask if you have another one of those "mutuales" ahhhhhhh i hate adult life
I'm loving your recent content. Please make more. You really stand out from others. I love France too. Thank you!
Yessssss back on the streets of Paris. All is well guys, we're back
I was stunned at the end when the video was over this felt like 5 mins really love this style!
Ahhhh you are such a fresh reminder to live
Another cinematic masterpiece by Damon. Thank you sir
a simple everyday vlog from damon dominique?????? Am i in heaven?????🥹
Your constant commitment to learning is so inspiring 🥲🥹 sometimes I forget that there are a million fascinating things to learn on top of what i already focus on. Thanks for the reminder that curiosity should be limitless ❤
My favorites are just when you can laugh at yourself. It’s the best.
The aesthetics in this video SLAAAAP. Let’s go DD
omggg the quality is out of this world!
Lowkey I was not planning on watching this whole vlog and here I am 💀 def need more of these.
I’m absolutely loving your style of vlogging as always Damon!!
Also, next time you come to the US, you should vlog a trip to Chicago, exploring cool neighborhoods outside of downtown, I think you’d be quite impressed for US city standards.
It's true. I live in Chicago and in my opinion, infrastructure and overall vibe wise, it's the closest to French standards an American city can get.
Your contact journey is so relatable and that’s why I’m getting LASIK surgery soon! You should look into it!
Love these day in the life vlogs Damon
I love how confident you are when talking to people! my social anxiety could never 😂
This video came at the perfect time just walked into a cafe and I’m eating a crossaint watching your vid ✨
Sylvain down bad. He just up early asl thinking about Damon. Sylvain, baby, stand up. 🤣
But the mutuelle is like 20 - 30 euros a month and it covers the other 30% so most of the time I pay nothing at the visits! Yes it’s not free that’s true but it beats paying $200 a month for health insurance and still paying out of pocket for visits, medications, etc
Loved this chill video about a day in your life!
YEEESSS REAL DAY VLOGS ARE BACKKK
