DC Hidden Gems

Our philosophy is to "travel wide", but also to "travel deep" which means we search for the hidden gems to really get to know a destination. We are Chris and Michael, a gay couple who live in Washington DC. We retired early (as a clinical psychologist and a business executive) to enjoy travel. We even invested in the Villa Vie Residences Odyssey cruise ship to embark on a never ending world cruise inside our own cabin. We are laying the foundation for an adventure that is not appropriate for everyone but we love it. You will see playlists called destination “collections” and “series” on our channel. You can binge these from start to finish to immerse yourself in a location. Our channel also contains playlists called “selects.” These groups of videos cover popular travel related topics like travel tips, cruising, finances, or the psychology of travel. We lean towards more affordable luxury travel. Let's share travel experiences together.
