This Week in the World: Week 46

Hello from Devon! I’ve been enjoying a weekend away in the countryside (fall foliage in England is stunning at the minute!) My boyfriend and I spent a cozy night at Babington House on Thursday, then continued down to Devon for the weekend to spend some time with his parents. They usually split their time between the UK and New Zealand, but because of COVID they haven’t able to get back here for quite some time, so it’s been really lovely having them close again!

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 46…starting with an exciting announcement about the next Atlas Adventures trip!

WEEKLY FAVORITES

• As I start thinking ahead to New Year’s resolutions, I really loved THIS PODCAST EPISODE on “How to wake up early, even if you’re not a morning person.” It’s always so hard in the moment but I always feel so good later in the day when I’ve accomplished so much!

• I’ve been reading a lot more lately (which I’ve loved!) and have finished some really great books I’d recommend if you haven’t already read them:

  • American Dirt (FWIW, read some commentary about this as well).

  • The Guest List

  • Malibu Rising

  • The Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo

• Some Sézane releases I have in my cart:
