Before you head out, count down the time with the following 10 movies and TV shows that will take you far away. Even if you're not planning a trip yet, this list will get your imagination started from the comfort of your couch, and it's up to you what to do next.

1: On the road"

Whether or not you've read Jack Kerouac's classic 1957 novel of the same name, this movie will make you want to hit the road. The film is based on Kerouac's journey through the United States in the late 1940s before becoming the iconic leader of the Beat Generation. The stories of the so-called "Beatles" defied the conventions of the era and advocated a bohemian lifestyle. If you appreciate such non-mainstream culture, this movie will surely win your heart.

2:  Emily's Wacky World Amelie"

Immerse yourself in the whimsical world of a beautiful Parisian woman and see the city through Emily's eyes, from Montmartre to Rue Lepic as she tries to reconnect with a man who lives up to her fantasies. Understands, the way she keeps trying to ask him out, as we often do in love (hey, it's just a movie after all), is heart-wrenching to watch. Emily's quirky personality and shy nature is fully revealed through the inner monologues she shares with the audience, which may be too cute for some, but you'll love how this fictional film unfolds. Such a beautifully made scene, and the hilarious second scene with the trip to the garden gnome (my favorite part).

3: Love Before the Sun"

Is it really love at first sight? No one really knows the answer, but who wouldn't dream of falling in love overnight while living abroad? Starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy as two adults who meet on a trip and decide to spend a day together before parting ways, this classic film is romantic, funny and will make you feel the beauty of Vienna. will

4: Motorcycle Diary on the Eve of the Revolution"

In addition to taking you closer to the life of revolutionary Che Guevara, this action film also tells the story of growing up throughout South America in the 1950s. Based on Guevara's real travel diaries, we see him travelling as a revolutionary leader as he witnesses injustice among the poorest social classes. This movie is full of beautiful scenes, smart words. You don't want to miss it.

5: Death in the Wild in Alaska

Based on the true events of Christopher McCandless, this film has the potential to break your heart. In 1992, the 24-year-old McCandiness left for the wilds of Alaska to escape the real world, bringing only 4.5 kilograms of rice, a .22 caliber rifle and some books. At some point, we all long for freedom, but this film constantly raises the question: What is the price of being free? This movie made me think that we sometimes forget that the things we have wanted for a long time are already in our hearts. Personal freedom is important, but our connection to the people around us is what really makes our lives special.

6: BBC Planet Earth"

This amazing documentary will take you on a world tour, from the oceans to rainforests. Each episode is 45 minutes long, and it will make you want to get out and explore the world. Watch them in HD if you can, because you don't want to miss out on the rich colors and amazing details (water droplets on leaves never looked so beautiful).

 

7: You go to hell Y Tu Mamá También"

A road trip can be a disaster. Two young men and a woman embark on a road trip to find a hidden beach. The film takes us on a wild ride through Oaxaca, Mexico. The episodes continue along the way as they try to express their feelings to each other, with the consequences of past actions. It's a bit of a daytime soap opera, but without the bad acting, and we get a glimpse into the beauty and struggle of a part of Mexico where 76% of the population lives in outrageous destitution.

8: The Joy of Adventure"

Sometimes less is more. A young German couple follow suit by renovating an American school bus and driving it from Alaska to Mexico. You can see them redefining the meaning of home as they live on the road, and you can see the unspoiled natural environment along the road in North America. Although the couple is separated, that doesn't change the hippie magic in this documentary.

9: Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

The award-winning show covering the later years of American celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain is a must-see. In the show, as Bourdain travels the world and explores all kinds of cultures and cuisines, his wonderful irony is also accompanied by sincere enthusiasm. The show has 11 seasons, which is sure to be enough to inspire ideas for your next adventure. May you rest in peace, Borden.

10: Dream of the Astounding Presence of Ruler Walter Mitty"

If you can only pick one thing to watch from this list, pick this movie. I didn't have high hopes for this movie at first, but it blew me away. Ben Stiller's character is classic, lovable, yet vulnerable, and directs your sympathy. As an introvert, I completely understand her struggle to express her feelings and get back into her world. The film blends reality and fantasy well, inspires many "what if" thoughts, and celebrates being brave enough to turn dreams into reality and take charge of your own life. . Iceland has an epic longboarding scene that will have your pulse racing and you'll want to run straight to the nearest skate shop.
