Legend has it, Damon is still somewhere out there far into the ocean as we speak...

[@katebobbell]

No but I don’t think y’all understand this man’s production value. There is simply no one else out here doing it the way he’s doing it.

[@Nerdy.Travel]

Especially when I see what videos is making his former youtube partner. Damon is much better off now than he would be doing some scripted netflix travel show.

Your videos are always praised for the editing and style, which are obviously next level, but what I love most is how relatable you still are even with such a one-of-a-kind lifestyle. You’re living a life that seems (is) almost impossible for most of us, yet you never lose that connection with your audience. It feels like you’re taking us along on every journey, making even the wildest adventures feel personal and accessible ❤ No one else is blending high-quality storytelling with that level of connection like you do.

I rarely sit through long videos on KZbin, but this? Absolutely mesmerizing. The lighting, the cinematography, the music-it all blended together so seamlessly and beautifully. Even though I’ve never been on a cruise before, the nostalgia it evoked was undeniable. I've been following your channel for years now, and Damon Dominique, you truly are a gem. That hour flew by in what felt like a minute. I’m already looking forward to more of your incredible work. Thank you for sharing your talent and perspective with us.

[@ashleysentra]

The only KZbinr I watch that creates actual entertainment that makes me feel something. Everyone else I follow is for news/productivity but Damon is purely for entertainment and enjoyment. I’ve been on KZbin forever and the amount of people I’ve unsubscribed to over time is crazy. KZbin isn’t what it used to be and I took that era for granted, there was always something inspiring to watch. Now it’s mostly just click and rage bait everything, with think pieces no one asked for. I just wanted to say I appreciate the work you put in Damon literally you’re the one channel I genuinely look forward to watching and I rewatch old content bc it’s still great.

WOW! so scenic, so mesmerising. thank you for recording and editing this video! you have actually ignited my desire to travel that I thought I almost lost. but after your videos (especially your Ireland guide with Paul) I started to plan my first Asia trip on Notion. I think I cannot even explain how grateful I am to you :( (i actually teared up a little bit when you showed the ocean for the first time it was so beautiful and felt..sublime?)

Re the vastness of the ocean. Whenever I’m visiting a place near the ocean or the sea, whether it be Bretagne or Cabo da Roca in Portugal, I keep being amazed by the fact that people hundreds of years ago braved the waters in their dinky ships without knowing where they’ll end up. Blows my mind every time.

Excellent! Loved the music selections, loved your understated and calm demeanor, loved how you were connecting with Boat Friend without using a cell phone and marveling at getting his keepsake letter/poetry. Cell phones have their benefits, and are indispensable now, but 13:44 is how it used to be, and it was fun, and it was great to see you experience and enjoy the meeting of a fellow traveler that way.
