Curated Links We Love: April 18, 2015 Edition

What we're clicking on this week (while we're not out enjoying our first full week of sun).

I had the incredible pleasure of hearing anthropologist, primatologist, and conservationist Jane Goodall speak at the Brooklyn Academy of Music this week. Fangirling hard. You, too, will have a crush on her after watching this hilarious interview with John Oliver, followed by this heartwarming clip of a rehabilitated chimp being released into the wild. (Just wait until 2:40. You can't script something better.) – Jeralyn, editorial director

I've decided I want a pet turtle (or tortoise). And I will take him for daily walks, just like this gentleman in Tokyo. – Becky, editorial assistant

A DIY-style Parisian hotel for $75 a night. Sign me up. – Berit, editor

I just love this interactive New York Times piece wherein contributors write about their favorite streets in 12 European cities. What a nice way to spotlight a destination. – Jeralyn

I grew up reading Austen and Dickens. I am also semi-obsessed with urban anthropology. So excuse me as I geek out over this map of emotions in Victorian London created by the Stanford Literary Lab. – Becky

Bake like a Parisian pro with these seven secrets from a French pâtisserie. – Berit

I'm planning a summer trip to Sicily and can't make up my mind about the route. I mean, there are so many good-looking hotels to choose from: new and modern, old-fashioned and iconic, obsessively focused on food. – Jeralyn
