I was born and raised here in New York, yes you can get tired of seeing the same thing everyday. If you are planning to visit or live here, you have to be street smart, Don't get too friendly with everybody because we have a lot of crazy people here. At night, try not to carry too much cash, keep all your personal things hidden, and check your surroundings at all time.
Same with Damon, I always pictured this academic utopia in nyc where I go out for lunch and visit ancient art in museums as a field trip, but I think that might have been due to too many episodes of Gossip Girl
I went to high school in NYC and it is exactly as she described it: no lockers except for gym lockers which you could only use for the duration of the class (45 mins), otherwise you carry your bag all day, can't leave school for lunch, no "clicks", very diverse, everybody got along rather well. also you get a special metrocard for students. I personally loved high school.
I was born and raised in NYC. Yes it can get boring at times because the city isn't always fun. Those who don't live here think that its super nice until they start living here. Its crazy to me how tourist love the experience of getting on the train when it is so disgustingly dirty, hot, and stink. But I wouldn't see myself living no where else. One thing that I do love about it, is how diverse NYC actually is.
Can you elaborate more on pros and cons when living in New york. Im coming from the Caribbean (heading to college in 1 year)and i want to live in the fast, hard life. In the islands its slow and nothing is ever going on.
Don't get me wrong NY is beautiful especially when you are new to the city and where your from its so different you will fall in love with NY. But the media and all the pictures you see on the internet are the good parts of NY. Living here is super expensive for a super small simple apartment, I mean tiny. There are various places that aren't safe at all. A lot of crimes happen. Trains are a hassle, any New Yorker will tell you how frustrating it is. Because service sucks, the trains can be disgusting, they are always doing road work, or they aren't working but they keep raising the fare. People work for minimum wage and don't get raises while things here are up on the rise. Wow that was just a short rant of mine lol. There are many more things that people who live here can tell you. Put yes I do believe that anyone is someone here in NY. And like I said NYC is a beautiful place when you first come here but having been living here as much as I have you get to have a different experience than someone just coming to visit for a sort time.
+Simplyy Tania thanks for the break down, im use to crimes and stuff but how is the pay cause here in the Vi the job market is shit. And I understand that you have to have good money to live happily in new york
Zyann Calixte I believe minimum wage is $8 something and a fare for a round trip on the subway or train is $5.50. Plus I haven't really seen rent lower than $1,200 unless you find roommates to live with and split the rent.
living in nyc for my whole 20 years of life & its funny to me because whatever your friends said that live in nyc is very true. I have had the same experiences. & the most funniest part was when they said the city as being manhattan not all 5 boroughs & thats soo true people not from nyc think of the city as all of the boroughs but not those living here
wait. So when someone says new york city, it ONLY means manhattan and not the five boroughs? cuz when i went to nyc a few weeks ago, my cousin living there since a year bow said that nyc is seperated into 5 boroughs. I might have got him wrong but as far as i know, thats what he said.
+Isha Singh queens, manhattan, the bronx, brooklyn, and staten island are all in nyc, but manhattan is where most of the big skyscrapers and touristy things are so thats why a lot of people call it 'the city'
the way they described schools in nyc is so similar to how my school life was like in London. It's interesting how the typical american high school isn't actually a thing in NY. In my secondary school it was a lot less clique-y and then i went to a sixth form (the latter years of high school) a bit more out of London and i felt so out of place because everyone belonged to a clique and I had never been in a situation like that, and they were just so clueless about so many things. They were scared to use tubes, and they stuck out like sore thumbs in central london. Idk. I'm just talking about shit you guys probably can't relate to but it's interesting. ANYWAY. I found your videos like an hour ago and I've just been watching loads of them, love your ethos of being fully submersive in other countries and not being a little hermit like bore. If you ever need a mate in london, I'm your gal. beatriz :)
Basically, I found your channel somehow and I've been watching all your videos in a row. I feel like the fangirl in me is starting to resurface again after years away from UA-cam! You guys are awesome, keep up the good work :D
I found your channel earlier today and I think I'm on hour 3 of binge-watching your videos! You are super funny and you do something that's actually useful for people like me who like to travel but aren't super rich... I guess what I'm trying to say is "keep up with the good work" guys! Hugs and kisses from Rome :)
LOVED this video, im gutted you guys moved, Im moving to NY soon so I love watching videos NY related. but I love your guys' chemistry and your channel is teaching me a LOT about how to travel cheaply so Thanks! xo
Ode. NY gets monotonous , but then you have these unexpected moments of falling in love all over again. And it's the most random things... a subway performer slaying Adele's Someone Like U or a chillin at Riverside Idk... 😕 I doubt I'll ever leave for too long. Loved the vid tho...
At our high school we have lockers but no one uses them because they are far from some classes or we don't have time so we bring our backpacks around everywhere. I live near Philly
Omg you have no idea how happy I was when I saw this video two of my fav channels in one video...lmao I didn't word that correctly but idk because I'm happy
But yes you can get sick of New York, you'll walk around but never see what's inside of everything or especially if you don't have money all the time, your stuck walking around the same old streets. After a while you WANA see something new, I agree.
Holy crap. How they grew up is literally my school. So culturally diverse that what I used to see in movies based on high school are so cliche and honestly weird. So educationally competitive with IB and/or AP programs, but doesn't have a football team. High school, using lockers aren't mandatory so no one uses them, only sometimes you see that one person using it but in like for a garage sort of way. People who go to my school don't realize the privilege until they are out of it. Damon and Jo! I understand completely where your friends are coming from.
i go to high school in nyc and i can leave campus for lunch and i could also leave campus for lunch starting in 4th grade (but then we could only go within like 4 blocks from the school).. mostly cuz i think they didn't have enough room in the cafeteria lmao
I have a question about your hair jo. What kind of hair product do you use for it? My hair is really similar to it, but I can't find any product to tame it. It is a hella struggle to tame the beast :p
Não vou me arriscar a comentar em inglês, mas o canal de vocês é um dos melhores que eu acompanho! 💕💕 Não costumo comentar, mas hoje deu vontade... O canal de vocês é ótimo! Amei o vídeo, muito interessante 💕💕
hey Damon and Jo : D amo vocês demais, confesso que voltei a fazer minhas aulas de inglês por vocês, pra entender melhor rsrs quando vocês forem vir ao Brasil, e quiser se aventurar pela Amazônia, estão convidados a ficar na minha casa aqui em Manaus, beijos
descobri o canal de vocês ontem, e já ganhou um espaço enorme na minha vida. Assisti mais de 15 videos de uma vez só! e queria muito saber como vocês se conheceram, o que fazem da vida, como se viram na vida aí nos USA. quero essa amizade de vocês pra mim hahahaha, 😂👏👏👏💟
Kids in DC leave for lunch, not sure if they are all allowed but they leave. Also, a lot of schools for all grades take the kids to Chipotle and fast food places for lunch lol. It's so weird trying to go get lunch and their is a field trip of students.
I just wanted to answer all the questions with ya😀😀 1. I started using the bus at 12 and subway at 14. 2. M.S. is middle school (which is I went to) and P.S was elementary for me too. 3. Mostly inside sports there was never enough fields in my schools. 4. No clicks lol. 5. Yeah we had lockers but they're useless. 6. Street meat is okay but not worth the stomach problems. 7. Time Square sucks too many people. The only good thing is Forever 21. 8. I am not more mature but I can tell who you shouldn't fuck with. Its pretty diverse too so that's a plus.
omg sooooo much gorgeous hair you two! seriously I'm in love. listing your ethnicity made me smile...I just posted the mixed girl tag and listed all the things I am lol não eu não Brasileira também :p and I play cricket!!! lol I'm the only American and the only girl so much love for all of you 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
In the US are you allowed go to your lockers between classes? In ireland we got lockers but we can only go at lunch so we still have to wear backpack all day
New York is a great place. If I had to move to the US I would love to live in New York. It reminds me of Europe as far as the life style is concerned. (I might be wrong but this was my impression)
i started going to school alone in the third grade through the bus! so i was maybe 8-9. my parents weren't really all that concerned (they should have been!!!) lol the worst are the homeless men who hit on little 12 year olds, gotta carry that pepper spray or your home keys, even during daytime no football games, no space in school an amazing education with views all around wouldn't change it for the world (even though i have went to school all over) best place to grow up
It's cool to find a person that goes to the same school as me in the comment section! I'm a junior now and I don't think I've seen you before, are you a new freshman or a transfer???
do you guys travel with a lot a money or what if you run out of money on a travel what do yo u guys do ? i would love to have that kind of life like you guys, travelling and filming new places every day :)
The beginning was the best though haha!
I can't wait to see you guys in the future! :)

hey i hope you dont mind me asking this cuz im curious, what do you mean by "clicks"?
+Isha Singh cliques are groups of people that stick together and have the same interests
Whoa really? Never thought it would mean that! AND its amazing if you dont have them in NYC. I lve it! Thanks a ton!
Isha Singh typo, sorrry! I meant cliques
