ABOUT US: We are a couple (a psychologist and business executive) who retired early in order to travel and enjoy life. We spend half our time in Washington DC and the other half in extended slow travel all over the world. Lately our slow travel has been aboard the Villa Vie Odyssey in which we invested substantially in the cabin we own and a small amount in the company. Our philosophy is to "travel wide" but also to "travel deep" which means really getting to learn the stories unique to the destinations that we visit. Join us for the journey. ------------------------------------ HASHTAGS: #dchiddengems #residentialcruising #villavieresidences #villavieodyssey #gaytravel ------------------------------------ 🎦 Chapters 0:00 Intro to Villa Vie Odyssey in Japan 2:03 Hakodate Japan 5:41 Challenges of a New Country 7:03 Hachinoche Japan 8:55 Kagoshima Japan
