If you\u2019ve ever found yourself watching a YouTube video about and obscure event in history and suddenly it&#8217;s 2 a.m. and you&#8217;re 47 tabs deep into Wikipedia pages\u2026I feel you. Thanks to ADHD, I fall down those kinds of rabbit holes <em>a lot<\/em>. But instead of just hoarding useless trivia and dumping it unsuspecting friends at random times, I started turning these deep dives into something more useful: travel itineraries. I have a background in travel &amp; tourism, so somewhere between obsessively Googling ancient trade routes and plotting things out on maps, I realized I could actually build real trips around the strange little corners of history that grab my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">This blog is where those fixations live.

They run through time like gasoline on open ground, leaving behind smoke, gunfire, and the echo of love turned reckless.
