Ever wondered why they call it the 'Blarney Stone'? Well, let me tell you, it's not just a casual smooch! 💋 Trying to kiss this ancient stone was quite the adventure. We had no idea there was a whole process involved - bending backwards, holding onto metal bars, and praying for balance. But hey, when in Rome (or in this case, Ireland), right? 😅
We took the plunge and successfully kissed the Blarney Stone. Now, we're just waiting for our luck to kick in! 🍀 Joking aside, Ireland is an absolute gem. From the stunning landscapes to the warm hospitality, every moment was magical. Can't wait to explore more of this beautiful country in the future. You can catch all the exploits in the video.

Recently back from an epic Azamara cruise around Scotland! This was a childhood dream come true, and let me tell you, it did NOT disappoint. From ancient castles to the mysterious Loch Ness, we saw it all; including an ancient stone circle like the one featured in "Outlander."
The Scottish Highlands are straight out of a fairytale - rugged mountains, crystal-clear lochs, and villages that feel like they stepped out of a time machine. And the cities? Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness... each one has its own vibe, its own charm.
Edinburgh, with its iconic castle and cobbled streets, is like stepping back in time. Glasgow, with its vibrant arts scene and friendly locals, is a city that's full of life. Inverness, the gateway to the Highlands, offers stunning scenery and a taste of traditional Scottish culture.
But it's not just the cities and landscapes that make Scotland so special. It's the people. The Scottish people are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and passionate about their country. They're always happy to share stories, recommendations, and a warm smile.
If you're looking for an adventure that'll leave you speechless, put Scotland on your bucket list. Trust me, you won't regret it.

Isn't this just a beautiful place? And we got the chance to stay there and soak it in for an evening. It was an unforgettable evening in Troll Fjord Norway. Our Azamara cruise was transformed into a magical experience with a "white party" amidst towering mountains and cascading waterfalls. We are so fortunate to have experienced this. Norway's natural beauty provided an unparalleled backdrop and it's become a memory etched in time for us. Consider adding this amazing destination to your bucket list.

Norway left us speechless. 🇳🇴 We almost skipped this gem of a destination, underestimating its extraordinary beauty. Having explored so many corners of the world, we can confidently say Norway now reigns supreme in our hearts. ❤️
How do we describe it and do it justice? Through natural forces or divine intervention, its landscapes are a harmonious blend of rugged mountains, serene fjords, and cascading waterfalls. It creates a visual symphony that is both awe-inspiring and restorative. The country's pristine beauty (and they work hard to maintain it with strong environmental protections) offered us a profound sense of tranquility and wonder. We got the chance to reconnect with the natural world and experience a profound sense of peace. We felt like kids again playing outside in the fresh air.
Our recent YouTube video captures glimpses of the journey, but nothing truly compares to experiencing it firsthand. Do you know of a place more awe-inspiring? Share your thoughts! 💭
Beyond the breathtaking landscapes, we were fortunate to be able to experience it on the Azamara cruise line. It's a hidden gem in the luxury cruise world, offering an intimate and unforgettable experience.

We're officially cruise converts! 🛳️🌊 We have tended to be landlocked Airbnb nomads, dodging unreliable stays and skyrocketing prices. Don't get us wrong, exploring new cities through Airbnb can be a blast, but the constant uncertainty of finding a decent place to stay does sometimes wear thin. Between unreliable hosts, last-minute cancellations, and those hidden fees that always seem to pop up, it can feel like more stress than vacation.
Now, we're tending to trade in those stressful searches for the ultimate in relaxation and adventure. Cruising is chef's kiss. Imagine waking up in a new location every day! There's something undeniably freeing about having your room, your meals, and your entertainment all taken care of. Plus, you get to explore new destinations without the hassle of packing and unpacking every few days.
Has anyone else made the switch from Airbnb to cruising? We'd love to hear your thoughts! #cruiselife #travel #airbnb #wanderlust #cruiseaddict

Our time chronicling the wonders of Spain has drawn to a close. It's been a journey of enriching discoveries, both in terms of the rich cultural tapestry and the strategic navigation of the Spanish rail network.
Immersed in the vibrant scenes of Madrid and Barcelona, we explored iconic landmarks and hidden gems, gaining a deeper appreciation for the country's unique spirit. As news of potential Airbnb restrictions in Barcelona surfaces, it sparks a fascinating question: how will travel accommodation evolve in this dynamic landscape?
We're actively researching alternative lodging options, while also exploring the intriguing possibilities of immersive cruise experiences. The future of travel seems poised for a shift, and we're eager to see what innovative approaches will emerge. We hope you continue to follow along with us.

We recently dropped a video sharing which Spanish city we thought was better, Madrid versus Barcelona. By which of the two do you think is better, or would most want to visit?

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.
