Abroad in Your Inbox Vol. 66

summer is slipping away

All the signs were there (pumpkin spice szn, LDW parties, the talk of summer being over) but IDK why it’s just dawning on me now that summer is almost over. I think this is something we say every year but this summer FLEW BY and I’m now scrambling to soak up every last second of summer that I can before I leave next month.

If you’re like me and find yourself wanting to make the most of the remaining warm weather, wherever you are in the world, let this be a reminder to book yourself a patio reservation somewhere fab, with someone you love (friends, family or your partner) just for fun. I recently dined at RPM Seafood for the first time and for no special occasion at all just simply to enjoy the last bits of summer and I couldn’t have been more glad that I did that.

Also to my Chicago gals, keep scrolling because there’s a F*ck it’s almost fall guide to Chicago below that I think you’ll love. OR if you’re already ready for fall frolics in Chicago, click here!

I’m in this weird limbo zone where I want summer to last forever but I also want to start my fall celebrations early since I’ll be heading to Greece in October and I feel like I will sadly miss the change of seasons this year. But that said I have some really exciting travels lined up and when everything is all locked in I can’t wait to share!

How to stay healthy while traveling

No matter whether you’re trying to avoid getting a pesky cold or staying clear of COVID-19, this post covers all my best tips for staying healthy while you’re on the move.

I’ve been traveling almost full-time since 2018 and there are some specific tips I’ve picked up that help me stay healthy when I’m on back-to-back work trips, trying to make sure I don’t lose my voice before a speaking gig or traveling for months on end.

Greece Packing Guide

Everything from my staple pieces to suggestions on the best things to put in your toiletry bag.

CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER

  1. I found a new pair of compression socks that I LOVE I’ve always been looking for some more “stylish” options and these are the best I’ve found - yet.

  2. I made the mistake of clicking on an Instagram ad for hydration packets and I discovered these. I’ve always used liquid IV but then I saw all the sugar - YIKES. Now I’ve ordered these and I’m really impressed with the flavors and the fact that there’s wayyyyy less sugar.

  3. I bought a new pair of cool girl shoes that I’ve been seeing the Gen Z gals wear (I saw them all over the US Open) and I’m interested to see if I can pull them off haha.

  4. I’m kind of embarrassed to admit this…but I have finally cracked and started watching the RHO franchise…I’ve been a longtime holdout on this reality series but I had to start watching because of the Dubai spin off. I gotta say the show is an absolute sh*t show and I hate all the yelling and dumb drama but I love the extra and extravagance and of course all the Dubai sites.

HAPPY ENDING

This is literally me on any long-haul flight - you too???
