Jordan Page was deeply unhappy in his 9-to-5 digital content job at a Fortune 500 company. At the beginning of this job, I'd hardly freelanced, putting all my energy into my new role. With decent pay from the corporate role, I'd saved around £6,000, around $7,800, to live on as I tried to build a career as a writer. But when I told them I'd quit, I could see the shock on their faces. Would I have quit my job if "Brat" hadn't been released?

DIVE IN Language programs abroad go beyond apps or even conventional classes by combining instruction with immersive experiences where the language is spoken. IN LIMA and I am in bed, half awake, mentally conjugating verbs in Spanish. Grammar hasn’t had such an insidious hold on my consciousness since high school, when my failure to learn French convinced me I was facing a monolingual future. And so I signed up for a week of classes at Peruwayna, a language school located in the bustling Miraflores district of Peru’s capital. The curriculum’s rigor attracted me—each day of the roughly $223-per-week “super-intensive” program would start with four hours of small group classes.

CASE CLOSED Two new wireless headphones have emerged with a novel feature: a touch- screen case. Our intrepid writer put them to the test. Illustration: Dan PageENEMIES OF screen time, beware. Earlier this year, two sets of wireless earbuds arrived on the market with cases that sport touch screens to control the headphones. The JBL Tour Pro 2 ($250) features a color display comparable in size to that on certain Apple Watches while the Poly Voyager Free 60+ UC ($330) has a slightly smaller screen.
Illustration: Dan PageSome travelers splurge on a Louis Vuitton handbag during a Paris vacation. My souvenir was decidedly less sexy: a $400 penalty for boneheadedness. I shelled out that money at Paris Orly Airport after I made an embarrassing but common mistake. I booked the wrong date for a nonrefundable flight to Portugal and didn’t find out until I tried to check in with TAP Air Portugal at the airport.
