🥪 A near-universal life mission: finding the perfect sandwich. We’re not saying we’ve solved it. But Crunch in London comes very close.
Buttery brioche, baguettes that shatter (in a good way), slow-roasted meats, zingy sauces.
Our conclusion of all this: Every bite crunches with purpose - and frankly, so few things in life do.

Mexico is more than you ever thought! 🇲🇽

🌿 In the middle of Buenos Aires, there`s a place where time slows down, and the only drama is between the French and Roman landscaping.
The Botanical Garden packs 5,000+ plant species, winding paths, sculptures, and one glorious early-1900s greenhouse.
Pro tip: Don`t forget that nature is still the most underrated wellness app.

🍕Good morning, class. Today’s lesson is on food history: specifically, the overachiever of all flatbreads: pizza.
🇮🇹 Pizza was born in 18th-century Naples: hot, cheap, and street-ready. Tomatoes from the Americas, local mozzarella, a touch of basil.
In 1889, Queen Margherita tried the tricolour combo, and from then on Italy was never the same.
What’s your favourite kind? Let us know in the comments. (If it’s Hawaiian?!?!!?!!?!!?... Don`t worry - `we listen, and we don’t judge`.)

🌀 On Monday and Tuesday, we brought you to Greece.
Now it’s time to shift the perspective... ladies and gentlemen—Machu Picchu.
High in the Andes, built in the 15th century by the Incas, and still one of the most unforgettable places on the planet.
Jason’s tip: “Getting there isn’t exactly a casual stroll. You’ll want a great guide (and us in your phone)—someone who can handle the logistics and explain why this place matters. Bonus points if they introduce you to a shaman—ours did. 10/10 would recommend. Also helpful if they remind you to breathe while climbing.”

Dear Elon Musk (if you’re not Elon, kindly scroll on): We know you’re stepping back from a high-pressure role, so you probably need a vacation.
Since we care about everyone’s vacation, we’ve planned for you a carefully curated one:
📍Destination: Bangkok
🏨 Stay at: The Siam — a five-star hotel where space, silence, and soft landings are the main offering.
🍜 Eat at: Khao Soi — one of the best bowls in the city. Bold, balanced, and absolutely not something you’ll find in Palo Alto.
🌿 Do this: A slow walk through Lumpini Park. No press, no posts, no launches. Just trees, turtles, and the peace of not needing to optimize anything.
Elon, please let us know how it goes.
Wonder less. Wander more.
