Hi, I'm Jo!
I’m a multilingual storyteller obsessed with how language shapes the way we experience the world.
I’ve hosted travel shows for Netflix and National Geographic, built a YouTube community of 1.3 million curious humans, and learned seven languages — not because I love grammar, but because I’m fascinated by how different cultures think, feel, and live.
I see myself as an “Inbetweener.” Someone who lives between languages, between places, between identities.
Right now, I’m producing an independent travel series that explores the philosophies hidden inside words — from flâneur to goesting — and what they reveal about how we might live more expansively.
I’m also the author of Fluentish and the founder of JoClub, where journaling and language learning meet introspection.
At the core of everything I make is one belief:
Language doesn’t just describe the world.
It changes how we experience it.
Here are some of my favorite videos, enjoy!
