If you love to travel, then lockdown will be proving extremely difficult for you. It is for us. We are thinking about all the places we should have and could have been visiting over the next few weeks/months. Obviously the likelihood of being able to jump on a plane anytime soon is low, therefore we need something to quench our wanderlust thirst now. Seeing as though we are not allowed to leave the house (barring work, shopping for essentials, medication and daily exercise) the beaches of Thailand, the sights of Paris and the open roads of the US are distant memories that one day we hope to see again. However, in the meantime why not take a trip around the world in 80 Films?
We have put together a comprehensive list of films from throughout the years which might just satisfy your want/need for travel until international travel is allowed again (whenever that may be). We’ve been asked to stay at home in order to save lives and protect the NHS, so let’s all do as we’re told, grab some snack, put our feet up and enjoy some of the best travel films ever created. Who knows, some of them may even give you inspiration for future travels.
