CHECKING IN
In a black-and-white selfie, Korena Bolding smiles at the camera.

Korena Bolding, Virtuoso, The Magazine’s art director, shares what she’s been loving lately.

Packing: My Rimowa Essential Lite suitcase, because it weighs just 4.9 pounds, and my Fuji X100V, because it’s my emotional support camera that never fails to help me capture the details of any travel assignment.

Reading: The audiobook version of The Storyteller from the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl – hearing his narration adds an extra layer to his already incredible story.

Watching: Baking and cooking videos from Claire Saffitz and Molly Baz – forever!

Wearing: On a recent trip to Tokyo, I popped into Zoff Eyewear on a whim and discovered you can get chic prescription eyeglasses made in approximately 30 minutes for around $100 USD. A robot did my eye exam, a human made my glasses, and I was on my way with what is perhaps my most useful souvenir ever.

OUTBOUND

New books from regular Virtuoso, The Magazine contributors have pride of place on our to-read pile: Uncharted by Kim Brown Seely is now available in audiobook form, Backcountry Cocktails from Steven Grasse and Adam Erace serves up drinks meant for the great outdoors, and Jeff Koehler’s The North African Cookbook is an essential guide to the region’s cuisine. In travel news, Greece is installing wheelchair-friendly ramps on its beaches. And ICYMI: Here’s what happens to your checked bags at the airport.
