Curated Links We Love: Top Picks for August 23, 2014

What we're clicking on this week (when we're not getting anxious about the end of summer).

Humans of New York has gone global (for August). It's a beautiful thing. – Jeralyn, editorial director

For a quick and easy way to track your travel conquests use Been to tally the countries and U.S. states you visit. – Berit, assistant editor

I'm back from two weeks bouncing around Down Under, where I watched this ridiculously picturesque Air New Zealand safety video starring Bear Grylls eight times. It never grew old! They've done videos with hobbits and Sports Illustrated swimsuit models, too. Just one reason it's my new favorite airline. – Pavia, founder

Get your hands dirty and sleep on high-thread count sheets at one of these luxury farm stays. – Berit, assistant editor

I've been binge-listening to Radiolab's fantastic Podcasts all week, and most recently discovered that they also have a really great blog. I especially love Robert Krulwich's piece on crazy borders dividing a Belgian and Dutch town. – Becky, editorial assistant

Speaking of borders, I really want to get this atlas of alternative maps edited by personal curator hero, Hans Ulrich Obrist. – Becky, editorial assistant

Melbourne and Sydney were full of creative energy: in shops, in bars, in street art. I'll be checking the website for the indie Aussie mag Frankie (one of our 24 Best Indie Mags for Travelers) to capture that energy in the months to come. – Pavia

Julijonas Urbonas’s Oneiric Hotel installation attempts to induce lucid dreaming. – Jeralyn, editorial director

Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art is exhibiting Japanese artist Tabaimo's immersive video installations, including one that drops you in the middle of a moving subway car. If you can't see the show, this clip gives you a sense of it (starting at 0:28). – Pavia, founder
