This channel is about the duo, Damon Dominique (Damon) and Joanna Franco (Jo), who together make @damonandjo. We got tired of all those cheesy travel shows, so we made one for our generation. We teach you how to sound cooler when speaking languages. We backpack on a budget. We question the status quo. We Shut Up and Go.
Jo legit bargains better than me and I was born and raised in Morocco
Camelia saaaaame x)
Yes
lol facts. she gotta teach me those skills
I’m fully moroccan but i live and was Born in the netherlands
it’s in her brazilian blood, we’re pretty good at bargaining
This was really fun to watch. I felt like I was actually there
Sarah Fasure GEWWWD! That was our intention’
Other than your content, I'm most attracted to your friendship, and how accepting you guys are of cultures/languages. (That and I'm going on exchange soon to France, so it's cool to see how you guys lived!)
jasmine prabhakar oh that's so great! Where are you going in France ?
*THE GUY IN THE JEWELRY STORE THOOO LMAOOO*
ThisIsNajma 😂😂💀
Why are you everywhere ? 🤣
I see you on kpop videos sjjsjsj
this is what we call a "chel7 7or"
Wtf you're everywhere
14 minute travel vlog? Well that’s a first. We had such a freaking funny time in Morocco we had to keep it all in. 🇲🇦
DamonAndJo Thank you for this gift
Are you gonna go to dominican republic??
Salut les gars, avec quoi vous faîtes vos montages vidéos? Merci
Well thanks! Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks guys!
DamonAndJo Hello guys, I'm getting ready to go to Morocco but I'm flying into Fes idk if you guys have been there, would you recommend Marrakech instead? Even though it's a far drive but still worth seeing. Along with a desert tour 😊
How to bargain like a pro with Jo😂♥️
The JoPro camera.
- the moment with the jeweler
Actually it is common practice to bargain, typically the dealer will offer a too high starting price and you negotiate it down. The locals do this all the time, you’ll get swindled if you don’t try to negotiate :)
The guy ripped her off. She paid triple the price she should have paid. But it’s a touristic place. It’s expected.
Linnea It must be a waste of time for the whole country
This is without a doubt one of the best videos on your channel.
+Rebecca Lay Oh damn. It’s like THAT!? Thank you! 🤗 We loved it too!!!
I'm Morrocan myself and let me tell you Jo 😏your bargaining skiills are on poiiiiint 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
GOOD! I'm glad I make you Moroccans proud!
Is it just me or the prices are waay high
YES ! I was looking down the comments for someone to mention it... 150 to 200 Dhs are the usual prices of detailed heavy rings ! I got a medium sized one for 80 DHs !
RIMAOUI Imane exactly , I mean these kinda things make us look bad
Yeah ! That's why I sometimes interfere and defend tourists when I feel like the guy wants to rip the off... Happens a lot in Taxis !
So after living in Morocco for a year... I do not go to the Medinas often at all. My husband and I do not have the patience to barter especially when the award-winning actors come out haha! We love getting into arguments about price changes in French. It's so entertaining. My favorite thing is when shop owners pull the American card to try and make us spend more money and we are always like "but we live here and we actually know how much this cost... and I still don't have the money even after you changed the price becasue it's too much!". Anyways, I love your videos.
The Jazzy Nation they all literally deserve Oscar nominations
It reminds me of Mexico. When I was a newbie at bartering, I would have my husband get me things since he's Mexican and I'm just your old average southern white girl. haha Fast forward 22 years later.. girl I impress my sister-n-laws now. :p
Lol they do the same thing to us moroccans not just Americans
In which city do you live ?
The Jazzy Nation well i live here too but not for 1 year for 17 years bc i'm 17
any Moroccans heeeere?
I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU VISITED MY COUNTRY I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH ❤
im moroccan
yup we are :)
Ohh yeah we’re everywhere lol
Hello from new york - tiznit -
yeaaah !
lmaoooooo the haggling. Jo's a pro
My french teacher played this video in class today and I flipped my shit when I saw you guys, I was so happy!
Why do they played it
@@sameerakannamkotte69 she had us do an assignment on it, if i remember correctly she wanted us to translate what they said
@@teenietoad ooh that nice
14 minute blog from Damon and Jo uploaded before my lunch break?!? UM YES💛
You're welcome to Morocco anytime.
Barter systems are stressful! You guys weathered the storm well. Morocco is definitely on our to do list, this was a great preview :P Thanks for sharing.
iam moroccan i would like to say that these poeple triying to sell thing with very very expensive prices are soo stupide and greedy , i beg all tourist ich time you see the very expensive price to leave the shop immediatly , they will understund that they have abused with prices , espacialy in marrakech , i know tourists like the weather of marrakech but if i were a tourist not too rich i will go to chefchaoun ( the blue city) or north cities like tangier tetouan fes ifran (ifran is the cleanest city in the arab world , built in switzland style with snow and forest monkeys and a lot water..
for poeple asking for money or these women with nikab never speak to theme they are stupide and silly even morrocan dont like the shit they are talking about ..
thanks for comming to morocco ..
I'm glad you guys still had good time in Morocco.
We moroccans hate those fake actors too, those ring's price are a rip off. It should have been 150 dh max for the big one.
But Jo you've got some good bargaining skills better than some locals xD.
J'adore vos vidéos Damon and Jo!
Yea, they were tough, so we had to be tougherrrr!
Maria H of the rings are silver the price is a good deal
If it is silver it cost more depend on the weight . In 150 dh you can only buy a good quality fake metal ring .
I think those are silver rings so the price was normal , if it wasn't silver then that was a total tip off
This vídeo reminded me why i love this channel.
I have been watching you guys for a few years now and you have totally inspired me in my daily life to live everyday to the fullest and now I have just been accepted into the rotary youth exchange program to France for a year. If it werent for you two, I wouldnt be studying abroad. Thank you so much!!!!! I love you both
Theatre Trio they inspired me too!!! after i started watching them i applied for rotary and i went to taiwan for a year! i got back this summer😁 have an awesome year
13 minutes?!? Let me get a drink and my snack😍😍 #sohappy
And a cup of coffee :3
honestly, they're the snack
I would give in to the pressure so easily, I don't know how Jo does it haha
Its a talent!
I grew up with a mother who would buy chairs off the side of the road for like $.25 and refinish them to sell for like $50. I always have to make her proud
I want to be like jos she doesn’t get scared at all
Some haggling skills you got there Jo! I love your shopping videos guys 💕
Ro A BARGAIN? IM DA BARTER QUEEN B
I want new things but don’t want to spend my money! 😭
oh believe, i'm moroccan, i live in morocco, and i say that U CAN HAVE PERFECT VACATIONS IN MOROCCO WITHOUT SPENDING ALL OF THAT MONEY
yes babe, u can do it
SAMREEN yes of course you must be come here
Stay home
that juice is so cheap 👌
Then steal
"See me walking from behind. "LOL!
Its expensive because they are charging you tourist prices...when i was there with my ex i got everything cheap
Ciara Mcwilliams yeah I bought 3 full outfits for $40. One day before they told me it would cost $300. I said:"no way" and left. HAHHA
it s basicaly same thing with us moroccans, like me they think i m a rich guy the way i m dressing, and they want to charge me more, but it depends on you, it happens to all moroccans in daily basis, you have first to know the real price , and to know how to bargain, and dont be shy, if he tells you 20euros, answer him i ll pay 2 lol
they want to rip off ad much as possible ahahahaha im a moroccan from belgium it's always funny
@@dezavlog you're welcome to Morocco anytime
you came to morocco thinking that everything is cheap,but that's not true,those pieces u see are handmade and well made,people spend years learning how to make them,and as a moroccan,those prices I saw here are so normal ~!
Abderrazak Sahli lol
no they're not i pay 100dh max for silver jewellery

You two have so much patience!
man they're complaining about prices unaware of the fact that machine-made is nothing like handmade, regardless of the material...tiles cost around 70 dirhams but Moroccan tiles cost 10 to 15 times that...they're not patient they're broke as fuck especially when she said she could do this in LA which is the state ripping americans off the most...500K dollars house made of wood sticks and nails...they're so ignorant man
Ooooh le Maroc ❤️❤️❤️ trop bien de vous voir là-bas, bisous de France 😘✌️
The rings were faaaaar tooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive! I'm moroccan by the way...and loooooooooooooooooove silver jewelry, so I buy a lot of it, and I can tell you that you got scammed (which actually happens a lot to tourists).
If you're coming to Morocco and want to buy silver jewelry, do it in Agadir or Tiznite, and even there make sure to ask for the price of the gram of silver, because it is sold by gram. I'm not saying it is not expensive, it is a little, but not that expensive. Be careful!!!
Oh and another thing! That was not a magazine rack, it's meant to hold napkins! Sorry to disapoint you!!! it still looks good though!
If you ever come back to Morocco, I'll be happy to show you around, or at least help you plan for the trip! There's so much more to see than just Marrakech!!!
Anyways I love you guys! you're amazing, you're funny...you're basically friendship goals!
Keep them videos coming!
Am i the only one who thinks that Damon is the blondie version of Rami Malek ? Tu lui ressembles beaucoup je trouve :)
You're welcome to Morocco anytime.
When jo said *shurkan* I LOST MY SHIT!!!!! she’s already learning Arabic. Girl if u need a teacher. Hmu
Sagal i keep saying “afwan”
kiah43 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Morocco was so stressful and so bad for my anxiety. The way so many of the sellers and beggers make you feel guilty just so they get more money was hard to deal with. I still enjoyed my time but the acting and switch in tone when theh know youre a tourist just made me so mad. You'd think theyd be cooler with a brown muslim guy but nope. I'm just a full on tourist to them lol.
Im a simple Moroccan and I can't stand them at all. I don't like to be rude to avoid them.
I agree, I didn’t like it either
Ikr i'm Moroccan and i can't stand them but If u want to shop, the best place is certainly the menara mall at Marrakech or agadir
Those rings Jo bought would cost about 15-20 dollars to a local if you were in Turkey.
Agghhhh I love you guys so much💛💛💛 My inspirations! For 2 years now your videos have been inspiring me to shut up and GO! Went to Brazil last month, BEST WEEK OF MY LIFE, not over it, can't wait to go again in March🇧🇷 So grateful for you two beautiful souls, never stop traveling the world and taking us along for the journey 🌏 Blessings from San Diego, CA, hope to meet you guys soon🌻
Destiny Nicole Mimi what is the best thing to do while there? What area were you in?
Lester Lester I went to São Paulo!!😍🙌🏼 I stayed by Avenida Paulista, so big buildings, lots of people, which I completely LOVE! I stayed in an amazing hotel with a beautiful view😍 Breathtaking in the morning and night! I only stayed a week though there was so much more I wanted to do, so I will be going again in March😍 We also went to a buffet called Buffet America and Pizzaria Moraes, amazing! I loved Avenida Paulista(so much to do and see there), the malls are great, amazing food in every corner, and the sweetest people you will ever meet! I loved driving around seeing the people as well.. and I also went to the Templo de Salomão, I highly recommend to go there as well, it's indescribable😍🙌🏼 I love 🇧🇷 and I can't wait to go back!!!
Did you go to Parque do Ibirapuera? It's a very nice place to visit :)
Thais Moura No I didn't ): I will remember that to definitely check it out next time, thank you😍❤️
Destiny Nicole Mimi welcome to marrakech just come to morocco i will show you somethings incredible , amazing ( marrakech ; agadir andmany more towns
They actually make the price high for the tourists
very much higher
I absolutely HATE haggling!! It's the worst thing ever...no matter what, someone always feels cheated.
THANK YOU. I hate it too. Give them the daymn money or go in there if you don't have the money - is my policy.
Jo is so pretty I could cry
Damon and Jo ... name a more iconic duo. hahahha love you guys
French team😁!! On est là meme sur les videos en anglais💪🏻
gib Zzz Et moi, (anglais) je suis sur tous les vidéos.
This was on my suggested 😭
I can watch y'all for days. More long videos please!
Look guys I'm Moroccan..All the men in stores are like that in Morocco especially with tourists..🙁😕 Cuz ''Jamaa Al Fanaa'' is an expensive place..We (Moroccans) can see that too..That's why when we need to buy something we don't go there..😅
But next time you come to Morocco try to go to Gueliz and check the malls (Carre Iden..Menara Mall..etc) 💜💜
And I would like to met you then🌸🌸..Welcome in anytime guys🌹
Omg seriously you make me want to travel everywhere! I love how comfortably you speak with the locals!
THIS IS AMAZING I'M PLANNING A TRIP TO MOROCCO RIGHT NOW AAAAAAA
Emily please when you visit morocco negociate the price because they double the price
You're welcome to Morocco anytime.
Fun fact In Egypt the pure silver jewleary will cost ... lessa than 20 dollars😂
you're so beautifuuuul ❤love you guys I'm a morrocan subscriber BTW😂❤❤❤ quand vous parlez arabe votre accent est trop cute 😍
ehhhh maghreb united :p je suis tunisienne, j'adore leur chaine :D
Je suis marocaine aussi !👋
I miss you guys together :') It was a good time. I hope you'll still be in each other's futures one day.
I wish Damon would have finished explaining his encounter with the man that had the little boy. I personally don't always want to hear the wonderful things that happen, I want to hear about the touchy subjects most travel youtubers won't talk about. You guys started to talk about a few different touchy topics but stopped short of completing you thoughts. I wish you would have finished.
Yael Hilley well we know he tried to sell the boy. I bet there’s lots of western men who come and do that in Morocco
@@mari5258 people don't sell kids in here lmao . He asked for money and used his kid as an excuse. It happens a lot in here, it's like hey I showed you the way can you please help me I have this lilttle kid that I have to raise all by myself, etc...
For me, it is the best vlog you've done ! 😁
and for us, that's a great comment to read ;)
I miss y’all so much😭😭
I'm soooooooooooo glad you left in the not so positive experiences with bartering. I don't think people realize alot of those tourist items you think are locally-made are actually products shipped from a factory overseas. It's important to know what you are actually paying for and don't be afraid to walk away :)
Actually everything silver and real leather is locally made, the ones who are not usually the ones who have plastic in them they are shipped from china lmao, im moroccan btw
It really depends of the object. Real moroccan handcraft is the work of gold, wood, silver, skins (leather), zellig (mosaics), carpets, ...
Other things come from China.
When you go to the medina u can actually see people making most of the things they sell you. So unless its plastic everything is handmade and personalised....
Maybe everything in your country is made in china but in morocco 90% of the sellers actually make things in front of you lol

Greetings form London, love Morocco. I traveled to Marrakech then took the train to Rabot on the coast. If you get the chance there is a world heritage site (Roman village in the foothill of the Atlas Mountains). Enjoy
Ah this brings back memories... Marrakech left me more exhausted than any other country I have travelled to. I went as a solo female, and I can tell you, Morocco does not like that! Thanks for this fun and accurate video!
I’m still feeling scammed 😫
There are more citys to see in morocco i recommend u to go to agadir, rabat, merzouga, binlouidan, casablanca, fes, meknes, tanger, bouznika, larache,asila, saidia each city is different from the other
They hear your American accents and probably ups the price. People assume all Americans are rich
Lmfaoooo yo Morocco is straight gangster they will bring it to you. Haven’t been yet tho but every video on TH-cam people are going broke 😂. I can’t wait to go 🇲🇦. They are beyond aggressive smh
60$ lol you got robbed I'm Moroccan and I will get them only 30$
This is my favorite type of video from you guys! I️ missed this banter💕
I think I just found my new fav channel
welcome to the #shutupandgo fammmm!
LITERALLY ME RN
This is why I don't like to go to Marrakech there is many scammers trying to rip you off
I definitely want to go to Morocco now, didn't realize what an amazing place it was before :)
Very nice video, hahaha the girl knows how to buy, that is moms way of buying in Morocco, you have to fight for a better price and u can win... That’s a Moroccan way lol 👍
After knowing how Jo betrayed Damon... All these videos have a bitterness to watch... But, beautiful memories!!!
I hate bargaining for things I want to buy. HATE IT, because they always try to scam you.
Ok, so I am a woman in my 40's and I adooore you both; you are just so ridiculously funny!! You just cheer me up! I was in Tangiers as a seventeen-year old and it was a goddman traumatic experience...I even wore a jellebah and was accompanied by my Moroccan sister-in-law and still I was followed everywhere, harrassed by guys.
On the last day, some guy touched my badonk donk, and I yelled at him so intensely, he basically ran away
I really feel sorry to hear those things in Morocco ... It should not happen. Go to the police.
he ran away ??? Moroccans don't run away
that s screwed up lol, people in marakech or tanger or some big cities here in morocco tend to be rude sometimes, but in other small cities it s the real morocco, where u can have an amazing experience, i dkn why touists go o marakech,
and it s weird that someone touched you , you should have gone to police
AG even as a moroccan girl..however i go to the street im harassed..one time i was about to throw my shows at a guy who followed me...im sorry u had to go through it in Morocco
i'm so sorry to see how moroccan sellers are treating tourist and the prices were really absurd just a pretty littleadvice from a moroccan girl next time bring a mooroccan guy with u
thanks D&J, I'm the person who asked you to make longer videos, thanks!! 😂😎😊
We did it for YOU!
DamonAndJo 😂😍😍😍 mano do ceu
I'm from Marrakech and this is so funny to watch. Btw the prices are high even for me 😂😂😂 you guys are so funny !

Thank you Damon and Jo, you guys are amazing !
Léo XU thank you ....
4:43 mystery camera person
Haha c'est vrai qu'au Maroc, quand ils voient que t'es étranger il vont être beaucoup plus insistant
I'm getting ready to go to Casablanca this weekend, my first time in Morocco 😍 Not sure if it'll be quite as gorgeous as Marrakech, but I'm so excited!
We're sure you'll be happy with anywhere in Morocco! PS: Love your videos about the French culture! 👏🏼👏🏾
Thanks so much!! ☺️
i like how you bargained haha very moroccan
like wtf is berber tea 😂 hhahaa they make us look like some kind of zoo animals that produce tea. As a berber there is no berber tea there is moroccan tea.
I LOVE YOU for sharing this - they are literally always ready to trick the tourists
in Morocco we call it just Atay which means tea (absinthe tea / mint tea / pennyroyal mint tea..) , Berber tea(maybe a commercial name) but it means a different thing ,its a mix of aromatic plants tea ,its an old version of tea still exist in some region ,my family still prepare it ,we call it Atay Laachub.
Whatever atay la3choub u mean aromatic tea. Something else. There is no such as berber tea, but moroccan tea. That was crazy!
DamonAndJo Aahh I love you guys!! Hope u had a great time in Morocco in spite of crazy people trying to ripp you off 😂 ❤❤
Well, even Moroccan tea isn't it's actual name. The tea is traditional to the Maghreb region (Morocco, Algerian, Tunisia, Mauritania and Lybia) and the locals call it Tay, Atay or Latay. You can call it Berber tea since North Africa is genetically and culturally Berber !
Why is no one talking about how that man was trying to sell the kid? How sad
Je suis impressionner déjà que vous parlée bien français je vois que vous vous débrouiller pas mal en Arabe , you slay guys
Shukran habibi!
Omg this souk experience is so REAL. Half my family is from Tunisia and it’s high anxiety every time we need to buy gifts for friends :/
that scene in the ring shop was amaaaaazing
They raise the price because your American
Moi je suis marocain
damon literally started counting from 0 like " sifr, wahed" 😂😂😂😂😂 love you guys 💜
Jo you don’t bargain well honey. He first said 50 then he was able to raise it up to 60. 😂
Junior Lopez Sergio he said 50 for one ring and then later he said 60 for both
Eventually she said that she only had 20s so she would have to pay the 60 anyway
He said 50 for ONE RING! I got them both for 60!!
oh my gosh you replied and i just now noticed :0
I love Morocco! I've been there a few years ago. I'm Algerian And it is neighbours with Morocco. Plz give it a visit!
So broke in Iceland and in Morocco? Ha...
just wondering, did anyone harrass Jo for her dress? I've heard showing shoulders in Morocco is a nono but maybe i'm wrong?
Je suis in love de vos vidéos 😍😍
xx
Me and my girlfriend went to the souks recently in Marrakech. It’s was really enjoyable, got some good deals. One person just ruined it for us in the end. He want 600 dirham (£60-$60 ish) for a beach bag. Got him down to 400 but snatched the money from and he wanted more and tried taking to an ATM for more. In the end i snatched my money back. walked away and he chased me asking for 200. Got it in the end but it just ruined our experience. Still a great holiday though
Am sorry but you got scammed in the ring store ahahah
Hahaha you think so?
the man at 9:00 is in EVERYONE’S marrakesh videos 😂😭 does he never leave??
Joe giving us African Queen realness
The jewelry guy is so extra ...
I'm Moroccan✌✌
Such a fun video! Loved it! The vintage effect you guys added is aweeeesome! Can’t wait to see the rest of your adventures ❤️ much love from Montreal
Guys! I need to know the name of the song at 8:40 😩
Me too!!!
greekNYgirl I got you girl, it's on soundcloud and it's called "FADE" by Funky Fella
Lisa MZ omg thank you!! 💁🏼
As a Moroccan, I feel ashamed of these people scamming you. Sad.
