Attempt Number One
I was suppose to fly out of Raleigh today. I said goodbye to Phantom, packed my bags in the car, went to the airport, and sat there – for 4 hours. The weather front in the northeast delayed my flight from RDU to Newark to the very last second; any…

New Orleans – A Food Guide
The past week I spent some quality time with my father in one of my favorite places in the United States: New Orleans, Louisiana. For most people New Orleans (pronounced “Nah-lens” by the locals; shortened to ‘NOLA’ by the tourism office) is a place to drink, party the night away,…

A Global Citizen
A few months ago, I read an article deriding the use of the term ‘global citizen,’ suggesting that the moniker should no longer be used. And it has really stuck with me. According to the article, the use of this classification is misleading – everyone has citizenship in one country…

Day 9
Another long day, but thankfully not as long as it could have been. Today we were suppose to have a huge beach party, but unfortunately the weather in the Hague was too bad… so instead it is postponed until tomorrow (and I’ll be sure to write all about it!) So…

Day 8
It happened again. Super interesting afternoon lecture. Definitely wanted to attend. Only problem? It was 3 hours long… Court clerks for the Permanent Court of Arbitration came to speak to us today. And, taking the example of the ICJ lecture yesterday, they were very interactive and entertaining. But y’all, three…
