After meeting in San Francisco and later moving to Chicago, we decided to quit our jobs in 2021, sell everything, and become two gay expats. Since then, we've been traveling the world and documenting our adventures on YouTube, Patreon, and our travel blog. 🙌 WAYS TO SUPPORT OUR CHANNEL: The easiest and most obvious way to support Two Gay Expats is to subscribe (free!) and tell your friends and family about us to help us grow (also free)!
