Today I Learned · by Beatriz Sousa · 2026-10-08
Worth reading if you like culture: Rosetta Stone on a budget
I started this because my lunch break felt a little stuck, and culture seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.
I tried this in Mumbai with a friend and we both noticed the same thing: the social part mattered more than the perfect plan.
Part of me wanted the fancy version with all the tools. The better version was boring: one notebook, one reminder, and a willingness to be clumsy with the route for a while.
Context: I am not an expert, just someone trying to make Today I Learned feel less intimidating. I wrote down what worked, what felt awkward, and what I would do differently next time.
