This Week in the World: Week 29

Buongiorno from Italy! I took the week off last weekend (skipped This Week in the World for the first time this year!) so that I could take a proper holiday and enjoy time with some friends I haven’t seen since before COVID. This trip is almost 3 weeks long and we are covering a lot of the main region my clients request: Tuscany, Amalfi Coast, Rome, the Dolomites and the lakes (still deciding if we are doing Como, Garda or another one!) We are keeping very busy but it feels so incredible to be back in one of my favorite places in the world. I will have more resources to share soon, but in the meantime you can either watch my online courses (like Rome or Amalfi Coast) or you can email me to schedule a travel planning consult for when I’m back (currently booking the last week of July/ first week of August).

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 29.

TRAVEL NEWS, UPDATES + INSPIRATION

FAVORITE LISTENS

I’ve spent a lot of time with headphones in over the last couple of weeks (especially on planes, trains and while beachside) so I thought I’d dedicate a section this week to some of what I’ve really enjoyed:

  • Less informative than the episodes above, but I was SO excited to find out that Franco’s Bar (my favorite spot for drinks in Positano) has their own playlist! If you’ve been to Franco’s you know what a vibe it is, and I’ve previously commented on how much I love their music. So if you’re wanting to pretend like you’re sipping cocktails in Positano to tie you over until you can actually visit, set this playlist as your soundtrack… it’s so good!

AROUND THE WORLD:

Finally, I’m ending with a few favorites (all but the second hat are sustainable!) I’ve been wearing non-stop while here in Italy:
