Creator's Key Takeaways

We love a good project. We love taking something new and then working really hard at it and then taking it to the next level and then moving on to the next thing.

A year on the Villa Odyssey is equivalent to five years in real life in real time because there's so much that happens to you.

We have become savvy travelers now, but we've also become more fearless travelers than we ever were before.

It's unbelievable. It's a dream come true and we are so grateful. I could just start crying right now.

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 ------------------------------------
