DC Hidden Gems

Our philosophy is to "travel wide" meaning all over the world, but also to "travel deep" which means we typically spend a month or more at a destination to get to know the culture. 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 slow travel.

You will see playlists called destination “collections” and “series” on our channel. You can binge these from start to finish which allows you to immerse yourself in a location and learn what it’s really like to explore there.

Our channel also contains playlists called “selects.” These group specific videos that cover popular travel related topics like travel tips, cruising, finances, or the psychology of travel.

We lean towards more affordable luxury travel experiences (although much harder to budget these days) and hope to one day be among the best YouTube travel channels. Let's share travel experiences together.
