movies to inspire travel

Movies are the perfect escape when you can’t get away – or when you’re looking for a little inspiration for your next adventure. These movies, which are guaranteed to inspire you to travel, range from popular memoirs and timeless classics to political films.

the beach

The Beach. How can one go wrong with a movie starring Leo DiCaprio and a beautiful beach? This movie, perhaps one of DiCaprio’s most underrated performances, follows Richard as he searches through life for that little piece of untainted perfection, the place that just won’t be destroyed. It’s based on the popular novel, though it was significantly changed. I dare you to watch this one without wanting to jump on the next plane to Thailand.



 

Wild

Wild. Starring Reese Witherspoon and based off the bestselling memoir by Cheryl Strayed, Wild is arguably one of the most popular – and best – travel movies recently released. After years of partying and other destructive behavior in the wake of her mother’s death, Cheryl decides to hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail in an attempt to figure life out. It’s heartbreaking, heartwarming, and a bit hilarious at moments. It might also leave you ready to go hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, even if you, like Cheryl, have no previous hiking experience.

 

Motorcycle Diaries

The Motorcycle Diaries. Yet another movie based on a real-life story, The Motorcycle Diaries is the true story of a revolutionary in South America. The characters ride through the continent on the back of a beat up motorcycle, through rain forests and deserts, not flinching from showing true poverty. While the movie does delve into the political situation of the area, it can be enjoyed as an adventurous movie about two friends exploring a continent – and might just make you want to find a motorcycle to explore on as well.

 

 

Thelma and Louise

Thelma and Louise. There’s a reason this movie was so popular and critically acclaimed – it’s really good. This classic follows two women as they road trip the American Southwest and find more trouble than what they were looking for, but also a true adventure. It’s probably one of the best road trip movies out there.

 

 

 

The Way

The Way. Each year, over 300,000 hike all or part of El Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage stretching across Spain. For many, it’s a personal or spiritual journey. In The Way, Tom finds himself on the Camino after flying to Spain to retrieve the remains of his son, killed on his own journey on the Camino. Instead of flying home as planned, Tom decides to finish the pilgrimage his son began – and learns a few things about himself along the way.

 

 

9 Movies to Inspire you to #Travel Click To Tweet

 

A Map for SaturdayA Map for Saturday. This documentary follows Brook Silva Braga as he prepares for his year-long journey around the world and also includes the stories of others pursuing longterm travel across four continents, from teenagers to senior citizens. Like no other film or documentary, A Map for Saturday accurately depicts the many realities of long-term travel, from anxiety leading up to the trip to the short romances and deep friendships created on the road.

 

 

darjeeling limitedThe Darjeeling Limited. If you’re searching for a movie to inspire you to jump on a train to India, The Darjeeling Limited is it. The movie follows three brothers, who haven’t spoken since their father’s funeral a year prior, on their journey across India. As expected, they find themselves in a precarious situation or two and learn how to bond again as they search for their mother.

 

a good yearA Good Year. When stock broker Max Skinner inherits his uncle’s vineyard, his main goal, as one would expect, is to sell it for as big a profit as possible. Of course, when he returns to the vineyard to begin the selling process, things don’t go quite as planned. Nothing brings out the child in a rich man quite like a pretty girl and the beauty of vineyard and few things inspire wanderlust like a movie set in France.

 

 

on the roadOn The Road. Based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, On The Road, is a must-watch for all travelers. It follows young writer Sal and his best friend Dean as they cross the country in an attempt to find freedom and discover themselves. The journey of self-discovery includes many interesting and unique individuals and experiences and is likely to leave you wishing for your own opportunity to find yourself in travel.

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
