I want to travel soooo badly right now. If only time, money, and Corona (that obvious elephant in the room 😝) weren't standing in the way! If you could travel anywhere today, where would you go?
I've collected the following movies, series, and podcast through which my traveler self is living vicariously atm. (There are so many other amazinggg travel destinations for which I don't have any favorite books or movies, so pls share any recommendations you may have!)
Italy
Roman Holiday
Give me any movie with Audrey Hepburn and Europe! This is such a classic and I love the carefree, adventurous vibes I get anytime I watch it!
Rom Com Pods
Okay, the world needs more podcasts like this! I love the fact that this podcast is literally like watching a rom com but in a half-hour! It's the perfect thing to listen to while getting random errands done at the end of a work day. Listen here. (fyi it can be a little PG-13 sometimes.)
France
Blind Date
This French movie Un peu, beaucoup, aveuglément (in English as Blind Date on Netflix) is charming and adorable. There are some stunning scenes in Paris, of course! 😍
Alice in Paris
I just discovered this series on Amazon Prime, and each short episode (1 minute long!) feels like a short stroll in Paris. There's a heavy emphasis on food, which I adore. You can also watch the two seasons on Tastemade here!
United Kingdom
Notting Hill
I know this is a classic rom com, but I had never seen it before a few days ago! I love the genuinely with which this story is told. And the travel bookshop is a place I would totally visit irl!!
