I rolled into Seville (se-VEE-yah) by train on a Wednesday afternoon, catching an Uber straight from the train station to my hotel. The main accomplishment for the day felt like doing some strategic sink laundry, a critical travel skill. Later that night around 9:50 PM after wrapping up work,

A 5-minute overview of the history of Seville, Spain
It started like any other Monday. I had breakfast, logged into work, and settled in for what I assumed would be a normal day at the hotel. Then the power cut out. So did the Wi-Fi. A little annoying, but not the end of the world. I figured I’d

Madrid was my launchpad—the first destination on my journey to the UK. As soon as I landed, the surreal feeling hit: this is real. I was alone in a new country, my Spanish rusty, and the plan was explore. TL;DR and pictures at the bottom. 🛬 First Impressions &

President Theodore Roosevelt delivered his “Citizens of the Republic” speech on April 23, 1910 following his 2 terms in office from 1901-1909 amid frustrations with the Taft administration following him. Even though Taft was a handpicked successor, Roosevelt felt as though Taft had betrayed the progressive policies and ideals he

We’ve all been there. The essay is due tomorrow, but we had weeks to work on it. An item on the to-do list sits there with no defined timeline when it could be done in less than 30 minutes. Parkinson’s Law is a concept from naval historian Cyril
