10 Very Blunt Study Abroad Tips | DamonAndJo

Solid tips, especially to get away from the people you are traveling with.
@Ayngelina Brogan Psh, you can say that again!
Ughh the skyper. The worst.
One of my biggest tips would be to allow yourself time to soak things in. Instead of living by a checklist, I usually write down the experiences/places I won’t compromise on and go from there. Some of my fondest memories from study abroad/traveling are lounging in a park with a baguette and bottle of wine and people watching with friends. Don’t get too bogged down with trying to see everything and then missing out on the culture around you.
even people who facetime all the time at home
@Katharine Weislak Love it. You are so right that sometimes people get so caught up in their to-do lists that they don’t even get to enjoy the moments abroad!
Wait!? You guys studied abroad more than once!? IN MORE THAN ONE COUNTRY!? Omg where did you guys go and exactly how many times if you don’t mind me asking!? ???
break up? Jo NOOO xD im in a relationship with my bf now for over 8 years and both of us are like constantly abroad and it works wonderful 🙂
Yeah I had a teacher that had a husband of 10yrs and he traveled a lot but they were still happy together she’d get excited when he’d come
thanks! you give me hope
I’m going to be honest, everyone praises my French at my school but Damon, your French is legit amazing. How much longer do you think it’ll be until I get there? I’ve been studying for about three years and a half years
good luck! I imagine how hard it must be for a non-french speaker to learn French since it’s also hard for us French people but you can do it!!
Jo, “BREAK UP” hahahaha love that advice
so happy I stumbled across your channel! you guys are so charismatic I want to be friends with you guys lol. planning to study abroad during uni so this vid is very helpful! will bookmark this vid so I can watch it again when the time comes
xx aiko
@lapetite aiko you are our friends!
I’m trying to convince my parents to let me study abroad in Korea next year for my senior year
Ive been in a relationship for almost 6 years… i dont know if breakig up is a choice…??
I’m fluent in French and also have French citizenship, I’ll most likely be studying in France or in Canada, which is super exciting. college in the US is just so expensive :/
I completely agree with number 1!! I documented things on a weebly blog when I was studying abroad, which was great because my family and friends could read about what I’d been doing every day. That meant that they didn’t worry about me so I didn’t have to constantly Skype them, which would’ve definitely made me homesick eventually. Also now that I’m home I have detailed descriptions and photos of everything that happened every day, so I’m turning the blog posts into a scrapbook!!
I’m currently on exchange in Manchester, I’m from Australia so its pretty far away from home, and your tips were EXACTLY what I needed to hear! Thanks so much!! 🙂 #doeverything
@John Lock I can’t speak for Australians, but in Europe we have the Erasmus programme that – from my understanding – is different from the American Study Abroad in that you don’t do it just” for the language/culture. Like, you go abroad and take regular classes in your major, just at a different university (that is maybe more prestigious than yours, or offers different classes or whatnot). Sure, there still is the cultural element of being immersed in a different culture, but it’s not the sole purpose of the trip. Also bc our school system is different, and you couldn’t get away with doing a bunch of unrelated language/culture classes and still keep your credits. Hope this somewhat answers the question?
@Ainsley Davies DO IT ALL GIRL! You will be home again, so enjoy it all for what it’s worth! Get out and explore…even if it means going alone! This will be a memorable experience!
we don’t have exchange program *:|* enjoy it *:D*
Generally curious; not to hate . Aren’t you just continuing to speak English? Is it common do exchanges to countries where you already speak the language ? 🙂
omg you guys are so fun to watch. new subie right here. I laughed so at the preservatives joke. I actually speak French and it was hilarious.
I have spent months studying speaking Italian easily and found an awesome resource at Hartlyn Language Lessons (check it out on google)
Welcome new sub! 😀
We use the 12 hour clock in Singapore! Thanks for these tips though!
YOU GUYS ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!! HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO STUDY ABROAD 4 TIMES? JO: I ADORE YOU! IF IM NOT MISTAKEN YOURE BRAZILIAN RIGHT? WELL, IM ENCHANTED WITH BRAZILIAN CULTURE I JUST DON’T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN !! I AM ECUADORIAN, LIVING IN NYC, IN DESPERATE NEED FOR A NEW PERCEPTION ON LIFE LOL. HELP?
I loved the bluntness, yesss
Why there’s not a LOVE button here on YouTube yet so I can share with the internet my true feelings towards this video!!!!!!!!!!!
Só queria ter visto esse vídeo antes enquanto estava morando nos Estados Unidos. Mas eu aproveitei mesmo assim.
Beijos!
If you’re in a relationship and are willing to put in the work, watch Andrea Heckler’s video on long-distance relationships, she keeps it real but has a very positive outlook ?
Where have you Guys been all my life?! I love your Chanel !!!!!!
@Darielis Cruz GIRLLLL we been right here 🙂
Oof my most embarrassing mistake is when I travelled to China. I was introducing myself to about a hundred students, and added that I loved cats. Unfortunately I used the wrong tone and said that I loved Mao Zedong.
@ivoryvignettes I totally agree with you. L(MAO)
And the issue? Mao was a great guy.
Omg!!! That mustve been embarrassing u feel you girl
how long did u stay there for study? and how much did you learn?
