ITINERARY
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE TRAVEL MOVIE?
KATE GAZZARD @kate_gazzard
I’ve dreamt of following in the footsteps of Diane Lane’s character in Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) ever since I can remember. She quits her job as a writer, uproots her life and moves to Italy in the hopes of transforming herself completely—she’s chasing fun, romance and a certain kind of happiness she can’t get at home.
It's terrifyingly relatable, wildly charming and inspiring as all hell. I haven’t uprooted my own life just yet, but there’s still time. Somewhere in Tuscany, there’s a dilapidated villa with my name on it.

This is tough question. Clearly Paddington 2 should top the list for making anyone with a heart want to immediately book a flight to Peru and adopt a bear.
But then there’s We're the Millers—a laugh-out-loud, thigh-slapper of a comedy road trip movie. Just in case you were considering becoming a drug mule, We’re the Millers provides a great life lesson on all the reasons not to drive an RV-sized stash of marijuana across the Mexican border with a fake family in tow. The Millers misadventures make a few flight delays and lost luggage look like a win.

I was in a University dorm room when I watched Into the Wild (2007), the true story of Chris McCandless, a guy who broke away from the shackles of materialism and went on a strange odyssey around the U.S and living in, among other eclectic places, a disused school bus in Alaska.
The cinematography is God tier; sweeping landscape shots of Alaska’s mighty mountains and romantic sequences of the wide open road, and Eddie Vedder’s original score suits perfectly.
I’ve not made it to Alaska yet, but I do love the notion of saying “fuck it”—breaking away and booking an adventure, and I also know not to eat random bush foods unless I'm 100% positive they're edible. Two important lessons.

get in the know The Fremont Troll lives under Seattle's George Washington Memorial Bridge (aka Aurora Bridge). He might be a statue but If you spot him, look at his hand, he may be crushing a real VW Beetle.
