This Week in the World: Week 37

Hello again! After taking the month of August off for the summer, “This Week in the World” is back! I had a wonderful trip back home to the states to get some quality time with my family (and, I had an amazing time with the group pictured above on the Atlas Adventures trip to Belize!) Now, I’m back home in London for the next month and am keeping busy with some big projects (speaking of which… if you are a subscriber be sure to read today’s email!)

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 32.

TRAVEL NEWS, UPDATES + INSPIRATION

• The latest travel updates for visiting Europe (spoiler alert: get vaccinated if you want to travel).

  • France bans unvaccinated US travelers

  • Spain bans unvaccinated US travelers

AROUND THE GLOBE

• Remembering 9/11: 20 years later

• These photographs of 9/11 are powerful, heartbreaking + moving.

• Texas has effectively banned all abortions all abortions after six weeks. My opinion on this subject has shifted over the years as my worldview has broadened… but I find this law deeply concerning. I think this podcast guided an important conversation on the matter.

WEEKLY FAVORITES

• This playlist has me so excited for France next month!

• I recently got some new items for fall from ABLE, one of my favorite sustainable brands:

  • STACKING RINGS: here, here and here

  • THIS DRESS (which I’m so excited about all the ways to wear it as we transition into fall).

  • THIS CROSSBODY BAG is the perfect size for everyday use (and I love the color).

• THIS PODCAST was a favorite listen for me this last week— all about how to tap into the good anxiety in your life (if you have a lot going on… it’s a good listen!)
