Welcome to Healthy and Hygiene, a space where I combine my passion for history and economics to explore what makes regions unique in the resources they offer. My name is Sean Donovan, and I’ve dedicated my career to uncovering the stories behind the commodities that have shaped civilizations throughout time.
As a historian with a specialization in economic history, I’ve always been fascinated by how certain regions become synonymous with specific products. Whether it’s spices from Southeast Asia, textiles from the Silk Road, or modern-day tech hubs, the connections between geography, resources, and trade have always told a compelling story. Here, I bring those stories to life.
Why Healthy and Hygiene?
I chose this name as a reflection of how regional resources influence the way we live, sustain ourselves, and thrive. My focus isn’t just on the history of resources but also on their role in shaping cultural practices, trade systems, and even global health standards. From ancient grains to modern superfoods, every commodity has a tale to tell.
My mission is to make history accessible and engaging, weaving in the economic narratives that connect our past to our present. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a curious learner, or someone intrigued by the journey of everyday items, I’m here to take you on a journey of discovery.
