Hey everyone. My name is Ross. I was born in the US, live in Spain and love to travel and talk to the people wherever I go. Whoever said "the people make the place" was on the right track. The word "flaneur" means "a man who wanders around and observes society." Thanks for stopping by and for watching the videos.

Living in the US vs Spain (10+ Years Thoughts)
Переглядів 1,6 тис.3 місяці тому
Some things I learned about the US after living 10 years in Spain are that it's a great place to work, sports are huge, amazing nature, variety of choices... Overall, I chose to stay in Spain because I feel it's safer, more socially developed, and at the end of the day we need social interaction more than big skyscrapers. We need to be around people more. If you have ever wanted to travel, JUST...

How I learned Italian 🇮🇹
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 місяці тому
I wanted to learn Italian, and took the most common words, worked with native translators and singers to compile and put them into songs. Then I used detailed images (mostly generated by AI) to illustrate the words in a fun way. Combining the songs and images, I am excited to announce the online course "Learn Italian with Songs & Images" Course on Udemy. Click the link to try out the course for...

Abandoned Ghost Town in AZ🇺🇸

In this video I explore the ruins of an abandoned ghost town: Adamsville, Arizona. A lot of mystery surrounds its dark past, but even today people still visit the cemetery and pay homage to the former residents. This is what the sign just outside of the ghost town reads: "In the 1870s, a flour mill and a few stores formed the hub of life in Adamsville, where shootings and knifings were commonpl...

Ross I loved this video. I am going to Sevilla for 3 weeks and this video will help with spanish, I am in Servas and in my into letter I refer to myself as a flaneur. Interesting there is no translation in english for this word. You gave the definition but still there is no single work for it.
No nos engañemos, eso nunca dejó de ser España y a la fuerza se hizo colonia británica. El resto lo conforma una propaganda pro anglosajona, la cual lleva generaciones dominando el discurso y el relato social. Eso es hacer trampas por todos lados.
Translation for saudade is i miss you so much .
They don't look Spanish neither Miditerraneans
B happy… a lot of 🌱 😂😂😂
Gibraltar es español desde el siglo XII. TRATADO DE UTRECH.
Gibraltar es una anomalía histórica sin resolver desde el Tratado de Utrecht de 1714. Si antes de ese nefasto episodio nadie discutiría que ese pequeño territorio era España, ¿por qué no se admite lo mismo en pleno siglo XXI? ¿Qué opinarían los ingleses si, por un avatar histórico semejante, tuvieran un peñón español frente a sus costas? Tengo la impresión de que, mientras España ha superado la etapa colonial confraternizando de igual a igual con aquellos territorios que en un tiempo histórico pertenecieron a su imperio, Inglaterra se aferra anacrónicamente a su pasado. Y, aún respetando la vigencia del Tratado de Utrecht, lo intolerable es pretender ir más allá de lo que este recoge, interpretándolo en clave actual y queriendo ser dueño de parcelas que no se incluían. En Utrecht solo se cedía el control de la fortaleza y la parte del peñón donde se asentaba, ni un palmo más. Las aguas son españolas y, el aire, también. Actuar como lo han hecho, tanto el gobierno británico como el gibraltareño, intentando ampliar constantemente más control que el que el Tratado de Utrecht determina, es un acto de piratería. Los hermanos argentinos me entenderán perfectamente, aunque el caso de las Malvinas es quizá más sangrante y vergonzoso para la buena relación entre las naciones.
Ni llanitos ni naaa PIRATAS .
Piratas que viven en andalucia ,que roban terreno al mar y encima quieren tener la razon , y digan lo que digan GIBRALTAR ESPAÑOL 😂 Y LAS MALVINAS ARGENTINA.
Na preghiera pe Roma sparita me metto a canta`... (Lando Fiorini - Roma sparita) an old roman song that I suggest you to listen! Idk if u can understand what Lando says because some phrases are in dialect, but it's a masterpiece!
Original and cute video having a different and positive vibe. Congratulations for the language learning idea! Come back to Italy soon and your Italian is so good 👍 Ps. I loved thd guu at 3.30 getting scam calls from Lesotho reminded of my auntie 😂
No nos importa la opinión de esa gente. Gibraltar es español.
Ademas de los mono no tiene nada de interesante.... Bueno el aeropuerto que se cruza con la calle, la cabinas telefónica... Y poco mas
If Gibraltar belongs to spain, does that mean Ceuta belongs to Morocco ..
yeah sure say whatever you want but u.k government can do whatever they want with gibraltar so.. gibraltar es española y las malvinas son Argentinas, Ceuta es marroquí y todos esos territorios coloniales que tienen ustedes los amigos de lo ajeno
Llanitos british ?? ..ozú mi mare 😂
Menorca durante un tiempo fue una colonia como Gibraltar. Gracias a que se devolvió España ahora es una de las islas mas bonitas y mejor conservadas del Mediterráneo. Gastronomía, naturaleza lo tiene todo de no ser así ahora seria como Malta o Nassau lleno de gente casinos, edificios o cualquier flipada neoliberal.
Menudos listos los llanitos, no tienen morro ni ná
Like if you hate the english😂
Bel video, belle persone, belle situazioni!
This is so nice as British myself from mainland U.K it just feels like Jersey or Isle of Man, wowed by that.
Also, I gotta say, I don't think Rome is a place for introverts!
Great to see the non-touristy side to Rome, with REAL Romans. I even learned a few Italian phrases too. Grazie mille!
this people don't even know how to speak English and think are English Gibraltar Español!
Mucho flojo ha salio aqui en el video! A ver si se da una vuelta por los poligonos y ve como trabajamos!!! Aqui hacemos aviones eh???? Y muchisimas cosas mas!!! No tanto flamenquito!
Les ha faltado decir "¿que no soy inglés????? No ni ná, picha"
Great video, well done. You captured the spirit of the Sevillanos and Seville.
Sono nato e cresciuto a Roma,ma la Roma di una volta è solo un bel ricordo.In ogni caso rimane la città più bella è difficile al mondo.Forza Roma 🧡❤️💪
I love this weird old fashioned Mediterranean stronghold
We could fix the relations between Gibraltar and Spain by making Gibraltar a fully independent state within the Commonwealth. Gibraltar could also maintain all its institutions, and it could join the EU if it desired. Simultaneously, Spain would no longer feel any grievance regarding Gibraltar.

Ante la falta de argumentos y la plétora de subjetivismo, solo puedo decir... Es españooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool, Gibraltar es ESPAÑOOOOOOOOL 🎶
Gib is amazing. People are wonderful. A time capsule.
Sevilla is my favorite city in the world. I hope to retire there.
Los moros bilingues
These Brits seems very Spanish.
Check the nuclear submarines while you're there!
Se ha incumplido varias veces el tratado de Utrecht, devuelvan Gibraltar 🇪🇸
Si queremos recuperar Gibraltar lo primero que hay que hacer es quitar esta dependencia de los locales españoles de la línea por Gibraltar. Solo cuando se quiten los intereses económicos de los propios españoles podremos recuperar el peñón ¡Viva España!
No quedaba mas remedio secuestraron a los niños de la zona asi que los padres tuvieron que rendirse...moralmente muy bajo pero efectivo.
The Italian said right "pickpockets" and you corrected them saying "pickpocketers" but the right word is pickpocket not pickpocketer
