In this episode I share how lately I've opened up my imagination to travel through watching Indian cinema and looking back at my last extensive trip to Mumbai and South India.
I've chatted with a few of you about when we'll be able to travel again and helped some of you with thinking about your travel plans for 2021. Personally I have also been finding it difficult to visualize travel with the current situation with no answers to when we'll be able to travel internationally again. Recently I started watching Indian movies and not only has it helped me think back on previous trips to India but it's opened up my mind to visualizing when I can travel again and where I would like to go. If you're having a hard time imagining where to travel next we all know we can go to YouTube for travel ideas and insights, but cinema is also a wonderful way to be inspired, not only by images but by stories and cultural differences that are reflected in movies. Almost every country in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and of course South Asia has it's own movie industry. Some like India are huge, others are modest but still insightful and inspirational. Start dreaming again and check out some movies from some future destinations you'd like to visit. Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of my favorite movies from Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and other places in hopes they will help with your future travel plans.
