Want to Move to Europe? Here's What to Do First
Last Friday I rolled off a high-speed train from London to Paris and straight into the living room of a friend doing what a lot of Americans are dreaming of right now: moving to Europe. My friend has been 'auditioning' cities across the continent, staying in Airbnbs for weeks at a time to see what he thinks. After enough trial and error, he'll make a call on where he wants to be long term.
The experience made this story about Americans exploring a move overseas ring even truer. So for this week's newsletter I'm aiming to give you a sense of how to do it.

U.S. Issues Official Travel 'Warning' for Canada
The U.S. Department of State has already issued a plethora of travel advisories over the past month. The latest country to receive a warning is none other than Canada. A travel advisory shares the risks and recommended precautions for U.S. citizens in a foreign destination. The U.S. Department of State has "no higher priority" than keeping Americans safe and secure overseas. With that said, Poland, Qatar and Thailand were the first three countries to receive a travel warning in June. "The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) and/or a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) for the region, including Qatar," the U.S. government's advisory for Qatar states. "This is due to risks to civil aviation from political and military tensions in the region. The notice advises U.S. operators to review current threat information and to report safety or security incidents. For more information, U.S. citizens should consult the Federal Aviation Administration." On June 11, the U.S. Department of State issued a Level 1 travel advisory for Canada. It's still considered a "safe destination," which means travelers should exercise normal precautions. U.S. citizens traveling to Canada this summer are advised to do the following: Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive messages and Alerts from the U.S. Embassy and make it easier to locate you in an emergency. Review the Country Security Report for Canada. Prepare a plan for emergency situations. Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information related to your travel and return to the United States. As of this Wednesday, the U.S. Department of State has not issued a Level 4 advisory since May 14. American citizens are being told to avoid Somalia art all costs due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest and other concerns. The full list of travel advisories can be viewed here.

Pizza, chocolate and donuts among the foods you can bring on flights, says the TSA
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has issued a reminder to flyers about the foods they can and cannot bring on board planes. TSA posted a "breakfast travel tip" on Monday on its X account, noting, "We don't suggest leaving this delicious pastry behind." The post featured a photo of "The Simpsons" character Homer eating a donut pasted into the corner of a security checkline. "Donuts are g2g[good to go] in carry-on or checked bags, no matter what toppings you choose," the post said. "How many you decide to bring is up to you." TSA then added a link sharing guidance for traveling with certain food items. Sixty different food items are listed in terms of the items travelers may pack in their carry-on bag or checked luggage, with some restrictions on particular items. Travelers may pack pies, cake, pizza, solid cheese and chocolate, cooked meat, cookies, crackers, candies and cereal. "Solid food items (not liquids or gels) can be transported in either your carry-on or checked bags," reads the TSA website. TSA advises that travelers should separate such items "that can clutter bags and obstruct clear images on the X-ray machine." Even live lobsters can be packed — as long as they're in a clear, plastic and spill-proof container. "A TSA officer will visually inspect your lobster at the checkpoint," reads the restriction. "We recommend that you contact your airline to determine your airline's policy on traveling with your lobster before arriving at the airport." Tamales are allowed with no restrictions listed. Coffee, creamy cheese, canned foods, gravy, ice cream and hummus are allowed to be carried on if the items weigh less than 3.4 ounces. While fresh fruits and vegetables are allowed, there are special instructions related to them. "Passengers flying from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or the U.S. Virgin Islands to the U.S. mainland cannot take most fresh fruits and vegetables due to the risk of spreading invasive plant pests," the TSA says.
