If you're visiting Washington DC for the first time, I'm going to tell you about my new Beginners Guide to Washington DC

e-book to help you plan for your trip. If this is the first Trip Hacks DC video you're watching, HELLO! My name is Rob.

I'm a tour guide here in the nation's capital. On this channel

I'm committed to giving you my best tips, tricks, and hacks for exploring the city,

so if you're interested in that sort of thing,

make sure to subscribe to the channel

and at the bell notification icon so that you don't miss any new videos. the Beginner's Guide to Washington DC is an e-book that I

personally wrote and is now on sale for $9.99.

I will put a direct download link in the video description, or you can navigate over to www.triphacksdc.com/downloads

to find it. And as a special offer, if you book any Trip Hacks DC tour,

I will send you a 100% off discount code

so that you can get the Beginner's Guide e-book

completely free. This e-book is perfect for the first-time visitors to Washington, because I have tried to condense all of my best

information down into one about 50 page e-book. Now before we go any further

I know what you're probably thinking...

Rob, so what secret hacks

did you put in this e-book that I can't find here on the YouTube channel?

The answer, believe it or not, is nothing. All of

the tips and hacks that you'll find in the e-book are the same ones that I have provided, or will provide, here on YouTube. For

some people, their business model is to provide just enough free

information to get you really

interested, then to swoop in with an e-book or an online course that offers some kind of secret sauce. I don't believe in doing that.

I want to give you all of my best content all of the time.

And I don't think it's fair to withhold my best stuff

only for those who can pay. So why bother with this then? The answer is that having this e-book means that all of the information

is written down in one single place. I formatted it as a PDF

that's easily readable on a phone, a tablet,

or you can print it on your home printer. A lot of you have sent me comments saying that these YouTube videos are really helpful,

but have asked if the information is written down, because sometimes it's just not appropriate to be watching YouTube videos.

The next thing that you're probably thinking is...

Rob, why would I spend $10 on your e-book when I could go on Amazon right now and buy any other travel book that's

hundreds of pages long, for the same price?

Another great question! For starters, my book was written by me, a

Washington DC local and tour guide. A not very well kept secret in the travel book industry

is that many of the authors don't even live in the cities that they're writing about. Some authors make a career in

specializing in travel books, and if you look them up

you'll find that they've written books about cities all over the globe. Another big difference between my e-book and many of those other travel books

is that they're often glorified reference books. The reason that they're hundreds of pages long is because they're basically big directories of every hotel,

restaurant, and tourist site in the city. These days

I don't believe that you need to carry around a five-pound reference book because

everything you already need you have in your pocket right here. In my book

I give you my favorite hacks to help you with things like how to get the best deal on your hotel,

how to figure out which airport to fly into, and some of the best tips for visiting the museums and monuments.

I designed it so that you can sit down and read it

cover-to-cover in about an hour to an hour-and-a-half; and by the time you're done

you'll have all of the information that you need to plan your trip, without feeling completely overwhelmed. All right

so if you're still watching this video, I'm going to assume you are serious about getting this book,

so let me show you exactly what to do. head on over to www.triphacksdc.com/downloads

or click the link in the video description. Below the written description of the book you will see a blue

"Purchase" button. Click or tap that once and you'll see that it's been added to your cart. Click or tap the "Checkout' button which will

take you over to the final checkout page. If you booked a tour and got a discount code from me,

you can enter it on this screen. Fill in your email address and name so you can get a backup copy

emailed to you. If you're purchasing the book you'll be redirected over to PayPal. You can either log in to a PayPal account or

just click "Pay with Debit or Credit Card". Finally on the purchase confirmation page

you will see a link to download your new e-book, and make sure to double check your email because you'll see a link there as

well. And that's it!

Thank you for watching this video. If you found it helpful you can subscribe to this channel by clicking on the Trip Hacks DC logo

Review # 1 – Grace VanderWaal premiering Clearly (9:30 Club; Washington D.C.; 2/7/'18; HQ audio) - Duration: 8:42.

Alright guys, I decided to do something new on my channel and this is my first –

review video. It's for Grace VanderWaal's Clearly, the first time she sang this song –

at 9:30 Club in Washington D.C. on Feb 7th, 2018.

I've seen the video quite a many times, so that's the reason I'll start with –

a review, not a reaction video. But in some time I think you will see videos –

that are more like reaction videos. So, here we go.

( the speech and song by Grace about to begin )

Alright... that was that. So, first of all, this overall performance –

is very well carried out.

And... specially the beginning of the refrain...

She does that with exactly right power in it –

so that's so on point. And what comes to the verses, there's every word delivered –

in the way the word needs to be delivered.

What's also very impressive, it's the inventions she has made to the song:

it has so much new stuff on it compared to the J. Nash '72 tune.

Only a couple of lines from that one.

Can be said that... if the Johnny Nash tune was somewhere here on the level [average hit of the era] ,

now Clearly is somewhere here [seemingly higher].

That's simply unbelievable what she at the age of fourteen can do. Most of the –

adult performers have no way to do even close to that.

I hope you enjoyed this little review.

You are free to like it and subscribe and anything...

Thank you for watching!
