Can’t Travel? SkipTown Vicariously with these Top Ten Travel Movies

Hello travelers! Yes I know, it is hard to say when we might be traveling again. Stay optimistic. The time will come.

In the meantime, grab your favorite movie snack, and make one, or all, of these travel flicks your travel plan for the weekend ahead! Here are my top 10 favs…

On Amazon
1. Eat Pray Love

Italy, India and Bali…sigh. Dream travel. One of my all time favorites…you can find it right now on Amazon. If you haven’t read the book, I highly recommend that as well!

2. Into the Wild

If you are dreaming of Alaska and the great outdoors…give this one a try! Based on a true story.

3. Wild

Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon) takes a solo trip to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, one of the longest and toughest in the United States, with no backpacking experience. Intense and motivational.

4. The Motorcycle Diaries

If you like history and stories of revolution, especially in Latin America, this is an incredible movie based on the true story of Ernesto “Che” Guevara.

5. The Bucket List

Two men from different socioeconomic backgrounds are not given very long to live, so instead of dying in the hospital room they decide to tackle their bucket lists together. Heartfelt, tear jerker.

6. Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Americans Vicky (Rebecca Hall) and Cristina (Scarlett Johansson) arrive in Spain for a summer vacation at a friend's (Patricia Clarkson) Barcelona home. If you’re in the mood for something a little more risque… ooo, la, la.

7. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Walter Mitty is the ultimate daydreamer…this one is fun!

On Netflix

8. Indiana Jones

Classic. Watch any of them! Did anyone else want to be Indiana Jones when you grew up?

9. Murder Mystery

If you’re in need of a light-hearted, Adam Sandler/ Jennifer Aniston comedy, here you go!

10. Y tu mama también

Coming-of-age story for two 15-year old boys as they take a cross-country road-trip with an older woman. Set in 1999, Mexican politics and economics make the backdrop of this film.

Have you seen any of them before? What are your favorites? Any that you would add to the list?
