june unpacked

the wedding edit & piloting a new series

Hi and welcome to the new monthly unpacked digest. If you’re here, it means that you are a paid subscriber of this newsletter, and for that I would like to extend a million thanks. Your support is what keeps this publication going and improving.

Unpacked monthly is a space for me to get a bit more personal. I’ll be spilling the tea on what’s been going on in my life, something I rarely do in my writing otherwise. I’ll also share destination highlights with my recommendations, and include reading, listening, and watching tips & anything else I found interesting any given month.

This is a new series, and its format will likely change as we go. But I will be sending this newsletter to my paying subscribers at the end of every month, that much I can promise 🌸

what was going on in june

Well, let’s get the elephant out of the room, shall we? I got married.

Our wedding took place on the cursed magical day of 6.6.2026 in the blooming backyard of an 18th-century villa that once served as a post office.

And it was beautiful.
