I AM SHAWN E. GILLEYLEN…
A travel blogger and YouTuber, who is passionate about sharing my love of DC and travel adventures around the globe. An entrepreneur, author, and creator of the “Success with Etiquette Training Program.” I am your city guide to life abroad and share travel tips, cool destinations, and where to eat, shop, and explore. If this is your vibe, follow and subscribe.
After 30 years of living in Washington, DC, I quit my job, retired early, and sold my belongings to travel the world full time. You only regret in life what you don’t do.
HISTORY
In 1985, I manifested living in Washington, DC after visiting in high school. Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, DC captivated my heart in one week. Nine months after graduating college, I was living and working for my United States Senator on Capitol Hill. It’s been 30 years living in the District.
I started my blog and YouTube channel because exploring DC has always been my hobby. Subscribers enjoy my candid moments around the city, day-to-day life, and strolling down memory lane as I share unique tips, history, and neighborhoods. Part of my mission is to grow a trusted resource for the community, be your one-stop shop for all things DC and travel, and inspire you to explore new places and live life without regrets.
