It's your friendly jauntsetter Editor here, reminiscing about a recent trip to Mexico. As some of you may know, I went down to Tulum for the new year and while there had an absolutely fantastic time.

Rome: McDonald's is introducing something called the "McItaly" line, which features menu items made with 100% Italian produce and an emphasis on other domestically sourced foodstuffs.
Included in the new offerings is the pictured burger, made of 100% Italian produced: lettuce, Asiago cheese, artichoke spread, ground meat and bread.
According to ABC, the idea behind the McItaly line is to "re-introduce Italian flavors to the huge numbers of young people … who go to McDonald's in Italy." While we think the idea makes sense - after all, teenagers the world over have been proven …
When we asked
Julia Bainbridge, current Jauntsetter of the week, for travel music recommendations, she told us she had plenty.
"I love making mixes after trips," said the Conde Nast Traveler Assistant Interactive Editor. And she was kind enough, in fact, to give us all the details on a recent soundtrack (below) she made after visiting friends in San Francisco.
