Packing: The Durand wine opener for special bottles I find while traveling, and compression socks – complete game changers. My trusted Tumi Tula Voyageur holds all my essentials.

Watching: I just finished the newest seasons of The Bear, Drops of God, and The Last of Us.

Playing: We are a big family that loves game nights, and Blokus is our most recent addiction.

Dreaming of: Italy, Mauritius, and the Philippines.

These award-winning astronomy photographers really knocked it out of the park. Alexandre Arrechea’s identity-exploring exhibit at Long Beach, California’s Museum of Latin American Art is an excellent celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. We’re loving this new collab from Le Bristol Paris and Sporty & Rich. Voting for Katmai National Park’s annual Fat Bear Week, a competition to determine the summer’s best hunter, launches next week. Also launching in October, just in time for spooky season: Black Lagoon pop-ups at a bar near you.
