This Week in the World: Week 39

Hello! It’s been a busy week running around London hosting my first visitor from back home since I moved. It was so fun visiting some of my favorite spots in the city (especially after being away for much of the summer). This next week, it’s back to work and getting things accomplished on my to-do list before heading to Paris for the next Atlas Adventures trip…I can hardly wait!

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 39.

TRAVEL NEWS, UPDATES + INSPIRATION

• The U.S. is finally lifting the international travel ban for those who are vaccinated! This is so exciting for so many of us who have loved ones who haven’t been able to come back to the US with us since before the pandemic!

• London was voted the number 1 best city in the world for the sixth year in a row! See the other top cities in the world for 2022.

AROUND THE WORLD

• Germany is holding an important elections today that will end Angela Merkel’s 16 year reign. Here is a simple guide to their election process.

• Global Citizen Live, a 24-hour concert to raise awareness of climate change, vaccine inequality and famine, took place over the weekend across the globe and had performances by Ed Sheeran, Lizzo and Billie Eilish.

•  A global climate strike by youth protesters on Friday hit more than 1,400 locations with a message that “change is coming – from the streets” The strike was the first such worldwide action since the coronavirus pandemic hit, and happened just weeks before the vital Cop26 climate summit in Glasgow, UK.

WEEKLY FAVORITES

• The outfit I wore in the photo above is fully sustainable and I’ve been wearing these pieces non-stop in different combinations the last week or two:

  • THIS PURSE by Everlane is the perfect size and goes with everything

  • THIS BELT by Sézane makes any outfit feel more polished and put together.

  • THESE SHOES by Everlane are great for days with lots of walking and work great with both dresses, pants or pretty much any outfit.

  • THIS SWEATER by Sézane is one of my recent orders and is so cozy- I love it!

• The Morning Show is back! I love this series and am so excited it’s back for another season.
