I am thrilled to be back in the Provence region of France! I’m combining work and pleasure on this trip to France. The first few days of the trip will be spent scouting locations for clients before being joined by some girlfriends for my hen party.
This Week in the World: Week 12
Hello again, and thanks for joining me to read another issue of “This Week in the World”. It is officially spring (as of yesterday) and London’s blooms are out in full force! It’s certainly made my walks more enjoyable when unassuming corners suddenly look like this. This change in seasons is ushering in a lot of planning for the brighter days ahead (I know I’m starting to make my own travel plans…including an Atlas Adventure announcement coming soon!) I also mentioned last week that I’ve seen a surge in travel planning inquiries, so be sure to contact me for a consult (more HERE) or watch my online courses if you’re in need of some assistance.
If you’re new here, ‘This Week in the World’ is a weekly recap of content ranging from around the globe. My hope is that each week, no matter where you are in the world, you’ll be able to feel more connected to it: through news, travel, food & wine… really, anything that appeals to the culturally curious. Let’s dive into the content I sourced for week 12.

This Week in the World: Week 11
Hello again, and Happy Sunday. I just finished eating some pancakes I made from scratch, which is quickly becoming a new weekend tradition (recipe below). I’m trying to drink in little luxuries like that… things I know I won’t have as much time for when life starts getting normal again (which, don’t get me wrong, I am very ready for!) It’s nice to feel like things are finally looking promising . I’ve seen a surge in travel planning inquiries (more HERE) and some more people have been watching online courses. It’s clear that travel is on people’s minds and we are all keen to get back out there!

WEEKLY FAVORITES
FAVORITE LISTEN: There has been a lot of commentary about the Oprah interview with Meghan + Harry last week. I appreciated the well-balanced conversation from THIS PODCAST on the subject.
FAVORITE RECIPE: The last couple of weekends, I’ve been making pancakes from scratch… which is oddly satisfying (and tastes better than just buying mix at the store). THIS RECIPE is the one I’ve been using— very easy and tastes great. Highly recommend to add a bit of novelty to your weekends!
FAVORITE PLAYLIST: I’ve been listening to “The Great British Breakfast” on Spotify for years now (cheery tunes that are great for making breakfast on the weekends) but I might add that it pairs very nicely with the aforementioned pancakes.
FAVORITE FIND: THIS POST I found on Instagram is a very helpful financial cheat sheet.
