My friend wanted to wake up in Italy for her 30th (ch 14)

Dominique in the club completing her daily duolingo to maintain her streak is giving me life

[@90starbrite]

Duolingo should partner with him

[@Katesbrightside]

That is so me. I have countless memories being at a bar in Germany completing my daily duolingo to get that streak

[@trishmnz]

i vibe with that so hard hahahaha

You're one of few people whose vlogs are actually fun to watch

[@Lillers]

I laughed so hard, you can feel the pure joy and goofiness of your friendship

[@Neeintje]

yes period

[@paulaaquino5847]

ugh yesss hope she visits damon more often

[@leo7107]

I swear to God Damon is so talented. I have never seen anyone's vlogs be this artistic. He should direct a movie. The whole vibe of his videos just hit different.

[@F01737]

Loved the video. What you said about Italian Grandmas...patriarchy isn't always about who has control in the home. In a patriarchal society women are in control of the house to the extent that they cook and do the house work and have primary care over the children. This doesn't exempt women from patriarchal structures, it does the opposite. Patriarchy let's men exist in other spheres whereas it confines women to the domestic

[@sorchaoconnor3750]

exactly, and just because they have a degree of control over those spheres, does not mean they are recognized for that work, quite often they are simply treated as the background to the foreground of political/social/cultural activities dominated by men

[@noelliebtsie]

@@sorchaoconnor3750 They don't see it. The way our societal structures are predicated on patriarchal values. Which dovetail neatly with capitalist values. Hierarchy, top-down control, competition, paternalism, posturing, domination, exploitation. My ex would go to Greece with his dad. He told me the women really call the shots "behind the scenes". Ha. Like they love having to stay in the background and not get credit for anything.

[@michelleleon]

Damon the cuts, the perspectives and the story telling - LOVE IT!

[@dookyy]

Omg YES, incredible 👏👏

Every time Dom laughs I laugh, I love her energy!

DOM IN THE CLUB DOING DUOLINGO TO NOT LOSE HER STREAK I--

[@supjiomie]

"Did you have fun spending time with me? Did you or are you just saying that?" MAN i love representation. I love her so much

[@SZS27]

“Oooo she’s dark” “I’m black.” Lmaooooo Dom is the one whew 😂

[@ttmt98]

I LOVE THE CHEMISTRY. Dom's "did you have fun with me?" got me dying in laughter. MORE PLEASE!!!!

[@crystalstrong3156]

I was about to watch this on my busted iphone and then I thought, wait a minute. I can’t disrespect the cinematography like that. Damon’s videos deserve better! So I took the eternal walk from one end of the room to the other for my laptop. I’ve been travel influenced yet again!✅

[@flugoaway3398]

Your friend is hilarious! The “you can do it” sent me 💀

[@symbioticmango]

re: your convo about patriarchy in society and matriarchy in the home, it's interesting to think about considering that often in earlier human cultures, the matriarchs were holding down the fort if they weren't hunting, so of course they would be the ones calling the shots. it's a testament to the devaluing of homemakers to this day by prioritizing productivity outside the home (ie for profit). I recommend learning about the Wages for Housework movement to see what can be done in modern time.

[@balahatun]

this girl is a gem, your chemistry priceless 😍

[@maeganrae]

Dominique has such an infectious energy i love her

[@keymepx4428]

This guy could be a movie director if he wanted!

[@meganthornberry1692]

I like this so much! In regards to the whole matriarchal patriarchal thing, I feel like there's more domestic and emotional labour given to the woman - like if the house is messy or your kids are rude it makes you s bad mother or grandma, where as men can do what they like and still hold veto power over decisions without having to organise and worry about day today ones

[@Sbrnsandy]

these videos make my day, incite my creativity and make me book flights 🛫

[@damondominique]

Then I did my job correctly!!!!

[@0700andrea]

This is my exact same reaction!!

[@ems0up]

Damon, you gave me the guts to impulsively book a trip to Paris last week and it was the BEST PRESENT I EVER GAVE MYSELF- thank you for the courage, the entertainment and the small glimpse into your life!!! Thank you for sharing your sunshine!!!! Loved this vlog and the E N E R G Y it was giving!! Happy birthday Dom!!!! 🎉❤

[@damondominique]

Oh HELL YEAH!

[@Just999Me]

So cool -- what did you end up doing? how is it now post lockdowns and now that things are all opening up?

[@ems0up]

@@Just999Me I DID IT ALL! It’s actually not so bad, still quite busy, but not as busy as previous years- I was told that ten years ago you couldn’t even see your own reflection in the hall of mirrors in Versailles with how busy it was- but I found it quite reasonable especially during high season. I also went up to Normandy for a day to check out Mt St Michel which was gorgeous- I was there for Bastille day which was intense! But lots of fun, honestly a beautiful dream trip and I am soooo glad Damon gave me the courage to do it

[@OscarEDodier]

I love "Call me by your name". It reminds me how I traveled half way around the world to meet my beloved jaanu twice. I want to make a third trip soon. CMBYN.....haunts me with it cinematic and human beauty/realism. #CMBYN #CREMA

[@kaileebroadway7723]

Damon this was great! editing always be popping and for someone who has never had the privilege to travel the world yet and I'm 30, Thank you for opening my eyes to see traveling in your perspective and view for the past 2years I started following you. I hope I can be able to go to places you've have been and see the beauty of it for my self one day.

YOUR TIME WILL COME MY FRIEND!!!! The world will still be there! :)

[@dpnice7721]

My recent trip to London was an absolute nightmare. Now I am back in Nice I realise, apart from museums & theatres, I have everything I want so at 71 yrs old my travelling days are over. I'll just happily share yours from the comfort of my home.

[@FreedomBreeze24]

Oh no what happened?

[@dpnice7721]

@@FreedomBreeze24 Planes cancelled, replacements delayed; unable to sleep due to street noise; payed over £200 to see the Harry Potter play and detested it; paid for good restos and the food was mediocre; had to book museums etc. at set times; paid to visit St Pauls and they closed it to visitors.

i love this so much, it felt like a movie where we had cinematics and then perfectly timed cuts to beautiful conversations. ur amazing, the color grade is amazing, this is amazing

when he posts his videos and I immediately go watch it, i get sad when it ends :,)

Dude Dom is so funny. And you two put together?! I genuinely laughed so many times aha i’m obsessed with ur energy

[@damondominique]

I NEED TO KNOW HOW THE WORLD COUNTS TO 4:

[@godrickgryffindor352]

In New Zealand we speak English as our main language. But the Maori (indigenous people of New Zealand) speak Maori and they count to 4 like this 1 is Tahi, 2 is Rua, 3 is Toru and 4 is Wha.

[@manuelbonet]

In Spain, the order for lifting fingers is index, middle, ring, pinky, thumb.

[@mint._._]

Here you go! It's how people from 70 coutries count lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/bF6nmKaMhLhqf7s

[@berlindude75]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger-counting

[@katsweeterly2039]

I think in German we count with the thumb first... Facing palms inwards. If we sign a number to someone we turn the palm towards them. Then one is either 👍 or index finger. And since you know German, Damon, you know the words 😉

[@pauhemia]

i love her! so cool seeing true friendship

[@stupki1178]

DAMON THANK YOU FOR THE TIMESTAMPS 💞

[@damondominique]

couldn't leave y'all HANGING like that

[@camNfamILY]

These are so cinematic, been here since like 2014 and I really love these videos.

[@iidak3125]

the moms and the grandmas call the shots at home BECAUSE we live in a patriarchy; in a patriarchal society, that is their sphere. women have been pushed away from the public sphere and into the domestic, historically. and in many ways still are. no shade to the women who prefer that sphere willingly tho, all the power to ya, i too would some day like to have a lot of people around me that i can boss around!!! completely

[@iidak3125]

i never comment but this is what you get when you study feminist philosophy and smoke weed

[@Iamrm10]

Seems like it’s nice to have a friend like Damon 😊

[@elenacura4852]

SHE IS SO GORGEOUS!!!!

[@therealwindshift]

Always coming with the Impeccable cinematic and thoughtful content

[@ermmnotquitesure]

Contribution to the counting discourse: 1. Counting, starting with your thumb is selfish. Hear me out, the natural positioning of your hand means its facing inward. 2. You got to start with your index and go from there! It's more of a shared, social visual i.e. the counting makes sense to both the speaker and listener. Now there are clear flaws in this logic but I count starting with my index, so I stand by the initial statement.

[@insightsinspire7654]

Dom is adorable! Glad you guys had a great time.

[@milikoshki]

Dom is the MVP of this video

[@FlipFlop2729]

re: patriarchy/matriarchy i think the binary system of women = private spheres and men = public spheres has created this kind of incoherent dichotomy you were talking about. In private settings women could call the shots, but the second we move outside these barriers it becomes a problem.
