A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Great literature can bring places to life, stirring our wanderlust as it ignites our imagination. Whether it’s the tale of a search for buried treasure, a battle against one’s inner demons, or an epic, perilous journey home, brilliant narratives can inspire us to embark on new adventures.
There’s nothing like an epic on-screen adventure to get you acquainted with some place new and dreaming up an enviable vacation itinerary. For me (and basically all my childhood friends), this first happened following a viewing of Disney’s “The Lizzie McGuire Movie” back in 2003, when Hilary Duff’s character traveled to Rome to live out every teen’s parent-free European fantasy. Though I’ve graduated to morematuretravel movies over the last 18 years, one thing hasn’t changed: films with gorgeous backdrops give me an unruly case of wanderlust.
