It’s been so nice being able to enjoy London again this week! After being away in Greece, then quarantining upon return, I’ve been soaking up my city as much as I can the past few days (before I head off again soon). I also was able to get my second dose of the COVID vaccine this weekend, and it feels SO good to finally be fully jabbed!
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 26.
TRAVEL NEWS, UPDATES + INSPIRATION
Italy is now open to all Americans! I know so many of us are excited about this. I am heading there in a couple weeks for a while and can’t wait to get back to some of my favorite places and to check in with friends/vendors I haven’t seen in so long now!
Calling all Amsterdam-lovers: the Netherlands have reopened their borders to American travelers!
Speaking of reopening, Sweden will begin allowing American travelers as of June 30th.
AROUND THE WORLD
Rome's Colosseum opens its underground for the first time in its history.
It’s no secret the planet benefits when we eat less meat. I enjoyed this read titled: The public should be urged by the government to protect the climate by eating less meat and dairy, advisers say.
The Euros (kind of like the Football World Cup, but for European federated nations only) are currently happening across Europe. Now that we’re in the knockout stages, it’s been fun to follow (especially seeing so much national pride among so many nations represented here in London!)
WEEKLY FAVORITES
THIS FACE MASK has been a long time favorite for de-puffing. I keep mine in the fridge and will leave it on my face and neck for over an hour if I’ve recently flown or eaten anything particularly salty and feel puffy. It is wonderful!
I have loved listening to THIS PLAYLIST while working or going for walks with my coffee in the morning lately. It’s so calming and a lovely soundtrack to have on in the background!
THIS ARTICLE on how Amazon Prime exacerbates consumer culture is worth a read…
