Movies That Make Us Want to Travel the World
Movies have a way of bringing the wonders of our world to our screens. I know there have been several movies I’ve seen that have made me immediately want to hop on a plane and see everything I just watched in person. Here is a list of movies that will inspire you to pack your bags for your next adventure!
Eat Pray Love
This one might be so inspiring because it’s based on a true story. Julia Roberts stars as Elizabeth Gilbert, a recent divorcee. After realizing she has never taken the time to get to know herself, she takes an incredible year-long journey to India, Italy, and Bali.Girls Trip
Four friends reunite on a trip to New Orleans. In this hilarious journey, these sister-friends reconnect with each other and discover their wild sides. They dance, drink, fight, and most of all, they enjoy each other like they haven’t done in years.
The Devil Wears Prada
Fashion, New York and Paris I mean really if you don’t want to grab your most fashionable clothes and go to either or both places then maybe we aren’t watching the same movie. Watching the outfit changes as they traverse the streets of NYC even though I live just 45 min away from the city still makes me want to get dressed up and go.
Under the Tuscan Sun
Under the Tuscan Sun has all the elements of a great travel movie. There’s Sandra Oh as a best friend, lots of laughs, and a journey of self-discovery that begins in lovely Tuscany.
Lost in Translation
Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson’s paths cross in Tokyo. These two lonely souls form an intimate (but not sexual) connection in an unlikely place.How Stella Got Her Groove Back

She invites her best friend Delilah (Whoopi Goldberg) to come with her as she learns to unwind and live her best life. She goes for relaxation and beautiful sites but comes home with Winston (Taye Diggs), a lovely souvenir of her own.The Holiday
Two women find themselves in the same place in life, even though they live 6,000 miles away. They are both newly single and depressed at Christmas. Amanda (Cameron Diaz), from California, and Iris (Kate Winslet), from a charming English Village, attempt to escape their problems and feelings by swapping homes and lives.Last Holiday
A shy Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) learns she is terminally ill. Instead of shrinking and waiting for her end, she withdraws her life savings and sets out to The Czech Republic to live the life she’s always wanted.
