Their passion for discovering the world’s rarest fruits has not only led them to remote jungles but also to the hearts of millions of viewers who eagerly follow their every bite.
Fitshortie is a popular YouTube channel run by Simon and Justyna (who also goes by Tina), a couple known for their unique approach to exploring exotic fruits around the world. Their journey began when Simon discovered Justyna’s fruit-focused Instagram posts and was captivated by her enthusiasm for the fruitarian lifestyle. After meeting in Bali, the two became inseparable and have since dedicated their lives to traveling the world in search of the rarest and most delicious fruits.
The couple has built a significant following on multiple platforms, including YouTube and Instagram, where they share their adventures with a global audience. Their content is a fascinating mix of fruit tastings, travel experiences, and insights into the raw food diet that they both follow religiously. They have been active on YouTube since at least 2019, with their channel focusing primarily on tasting and reviewing exotic fruits from various countries, complemented by their popular Shorts videos that bring quick, captivating glimpses of their fruit-filled journeys.
Simon and Justyna have filmed their videos in numerous tropical locations around the world. Some of the key countries where they have explored and documented exotic fruits include:
