Have you ever read a book that made you want to climb out of your chair and hop on a plane? What about a movie with scenery so beautiful you wanted to see it for yourself? Or are you a person who loves adventure, but can’t always just get up and go on a trip every weekend? Maybe you’re someone who loves to discover the hidden stories of a location when you travel? If any of these apply to you then you are in the right place.
You see, I was born in Germany, graduated high school in Italy, went to college in the United States, and have lived on three continents, traveled to 67 countries (and counting), and spent a lot of hours in bookstores, libraries, video stores (yes, I’m old enough for those), and movie theatres. So travel, books, and movies are kind of my thing.
I put my love for those three things together and created Travel Books and Movies—I want to help you find travel books and travel movies that will inspire you, excite you, and take you on a journey—without ever leaving your home or spending a dime (depending on how you get your book/movie, of course).
Depending on which travel book I pick up, I can find myself transported to a market in Istanbul inundated by crushing noises and smells or sitting on a sandy beach in Australia with a blue ocean extending as far as I can see. A travel movie might invite me to a jungle in Costa Rica or on a safari to Kenya. And since all I'm doing is picking up a book or a movie, my time and budget allow for all of these travels.
This also means that I read books and watch movies a lot while traveling, so I’ll share some of my favorite tips. How do you watch the latest rom-com out in the U.S. while you’re road-tripping in Europe? What’s the cheapest way to get an audiobook for your trek up Mt. Everest (and the best way to make sure your earphones are charged while doing so)? Let me share my experiences and figure it out for you.
One other way I can’t get enough of my love for travel books and movies? I love to visit special book- and movie-based locations while traveling (or I *might* base an entire trip around a destination; *cough, cough* Harry Potter World). It’s so fun to watch a scene in a movie and then find the spot in real life, knowing a fave celebrity spent time there. (Film tourism is actually HUGE right now!) I’ll share those destinations with you, my fellow book-lovers and movie-lovers who travel.
Whatever you’re looking for, if you enjoy traveling, reading, and watching or some combo of the above, you’re in the right place. Sit back, relax, sign up for the newsletter to keep up with the regular postings (for real, there’s some good stuff in there) and let’s start exploring!
