Travelling can be a
rich experience as we get to explore places we have never seen and meet people
we might never see again. For all the travellers; there is always an urge which
makes them land into the lap of Mother Nature.
However, for others there is sometimes vacillation while finding that
same zeal. And that’s when movies come into the picture, for providing a little
bit of inspiration. Let’s have a look at 5 inspiring movies that will wake up
the sleeping traveller inside you.
1. Into The Wild
Based on a true story, Into the Wild will take
you places that you might have never seen before. Directed by Sean Penn, the

lavish amenities and much more. However, he isn’t interested in any of it and
wants to connect with the unmaterialistic world. After destroying every
document that proves his existence, he sets off on a journey to the woods of
Alaska. And yes, he doesn’t take a flight to reach there. This is the story of
a super tramp's journey which includes the dangers he faces, the adventures he
takes, and the feelings he goes through.
2. Eat Pray Love
Sometimes, you have to risk everything to
rediscover yourself. Directed by Ryan Murphy, the story revolves around Liz

one week to live? Can’t imagine, right? Directed by Michael McGowan, this movie
is about a school teacher, Ben Tyler, who is diagnosed with a serious illness
and is left with just one week of life. Ben decides to make his leftover
lifespan worthwhile and goes on a road trip across Canada on his recently

around any country isn’t just about fun and relaxation, but it also gets you in
awe of nature.

and the other 2 have to participate in it. The basic funda of this movie is,
‘Live life King Size’, which will get you to explore the stunning and beautiful

You will certainly try to run away if you ever,
God forbid, get kidnapped. But, this doesn’t happen with Veera when she faces
the same. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, this story is about Veera who is about to get
married but is unhappy with her life. And that’s when she gets abducted. She
