Movies That Will Inspire You To Travel

Assalamualaikum...

I wish one day I can travel all over the world. Yes, that is my dream since I was seven. Nothing looks impossible if we are having high motivation to chase the dream. What does motivates me? First is travelogue book, second is travelogue movies, third is blogger who loves travel. Big thanks to Trekeffect for list all of movies that will inspire me to travel. Will go to the library and downloading the movie as soon as possible =) Below is the movies listed by Trekeffect.

The Motorcycle Diaries is an awe-inspiring dramatization of Che Guevera’s motorcycle road adventure, way before he became a legendary Latin American revolutionary. Not only will this biopic show you how Che became an iconic commander, but it will give you glimpses of a handful of stunning places in South America as well, including Machu Picchu, Nahuel Huapi Lake, Atacama Desert, Patagonia, Venenzuela, Caracas, Buenos Aires and Miramar.

The Way is a heart-warming and beautiful story of a father who walked the Camino de Santiago trail in Spain, to honor his estranged son who recently died while trekking this trail. His experience was eye-opening and quite an emotional one, as he was compelled to make friends with total strangers as well as examine his life during his long 800 kilometer long journey. The film features a pretty eclectic blend of characters, all trekking the long trail for their own personal reasons.

Want to see Leonardo DiCaprio before he had a dadbod? We hate to bust someone’s bubbles, but we’re not talking about Titanic here. For the ladies reading this post, the 2000 adventure film “The Beach” lets you feast your eyes on a shirtless young Leonardo DiCaprio, swimming on the fabulous crystal clear waters of Ko Phi Phi Lee.

A neglected young female and a faded movie actor formed an unlike relationship, after they have crossed paths in the ultra magnetic Tokyo metropolis.

Want to travel solo? Tracks, based on the book written by Robyn Davidson, tells the story of this solo female traveler, as she spends over eight months slugging across Australia’s vast 1,700 mile deserts.

Following the death of their father, three brothers, who haven’t communicated to each other for a year, embark on a train, to travel across India with the intention of bonding with each other and finding themselves. Starring Bill Murray, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman and Owen Wilson, this travel film also highlights India’s beautiful chaos, culture and colors.

While Into the Wild didn’t have the happiest of endings, it has been anchored firmly in the hearts of countless of travel junkies from all corners of the world. Deemed as one of the best travel films ever, this 2007 motion picture follows the true life story of the brave American adventurer Christopher McCandless, who abandoned his stereotyped life after his graduation, ventured across North America, and hiked into the great Alaskan Wilderness. Free from the society’s strictures, McCandless went on a colorful journey of self discovery, while traversing some of America’s most gorgeous landscapes.

Epitomizing the feeling of spontaneity, freedom and adventure that comes with backpacking and traveling, Into the Wild is truly a timeless classic and a go-to film for travelers. Trust me, McCandless’s adventurous spirit will inspire curiosity as well as the desire to discover what is beyond your comfort zone and boundaries.

Lovely, cute, inappropriate and hilarious, Little Miss Sunshine tells the story of a dysfunctional family that went on an unusually blissful and funny road trip to California, to fulfill the dream of their sweet little girl.

The Bucket List is a tearjerker, and more importantly, a heart-warming film that will inspire you to do all the things that you want to do before you kick the bucket, including traveling. To me, the film also reminds us that life is too short, and we should enjoy it to the fullest.

Sometimes, you just need to spend a day in a heavenly place like Vienna, with a complete stranger, to experience magic, pure bliss and love. Don’t believe us? Just watch Before Sunrise!

The book-turned-movie Eat Pray Love, ever since it was released, has been inspiring people to travel, and seek a life or career outside the big buzzing cities.

There have been plenty of films shot in Paris, but very few can nail it like Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. In my book, there is no other film that illustrate Paris’ splendor in the 1920s better than this film.

The film is, for us, a sweet reminder that life is an awesome adventure, and sometimes we need to be pushed outside of our comfort zones to enrich our life.

Wild is a real-life adventure tale of Cheryl Strayed, an inexperienced backpacker who went on an epic 1,100-mile quest across the United States, in the wake of her mother’s death. Although Strayed’s narrative of her extraordinary odyssey was just released in 2012, it quickly gained the attention of movie producers, thanks to her amazing story of self discovery and bravery. With Stayed’s inspiring travel experiences and the award-winning Reese Witherspoon in the lead role, Wild is surely an absolute must-see flick for film junkies as well as females who are into solo traveling.

Shamelessly romantic, perfectly saccharine and filmed on one of the world’s most beautiful cities, Roman Holiday definitely deserves a spot in this list.

Thanks to Finding Nemo, the Clownfish all of a sudden became the sea’s most popular creature, and everyone wanted to travel to Cairns and Sydney, just to see where Nemo came from. Furthermore, the film encouraged people to explore the beautiful underwater world, and meet the charming creatures of the sea.

With Couples Retreat, not only will you get to see a ridiculously funny flick with awesome comedians and extremely hilarious scenes, but you also get to gaze on the mesmerizing tropical beauty of Bora Bora.

Don’t want to give up your city life? A word of advice, please don’t watch the Under the Tuscan Sun. With all the delightful wines, mouthwatering food, remote cottages and scenic rolling hills shown in the film, this romantic flick will inspire to you to travel to this Italian paradise, as well as urge you to scrap your urban life, for a chance to harvest an awesome dream of living a life Under the Tuscan Sun.

Billed as one of the greatest inspirational movies of all time, Forrest Gump takes you on a gleeful emotional rollercoaster that displays the jaw-dropping scenery of Utah, South Carolina and Georgia. What’s more, the film is an important reminder that being disabled doesn’t have to limit you or define your life.

Throwback : Snorkeling Bersama Jerung

Assalamualaikum...

Haa korang mesti ingat aku ni penipu kan. Haha kuang hajo. Betul la aku snorkeling dengan jerung for about three romantically barren years ago. Masa tu aku lower six dan ada perkhemahan perdana peringkat sekolah kat Pulau Payar Marine Park, Langkawi. Aku ni pantang bab-bab melawat tempat baru ni. Furiously asking for my mom's permission. Luckily she understands me enough ^_^

Peta Langkawi

Boarding time at Kuala Kedah Jetty. Better boarding at Kuala Perlis for a short journey =)

In the ferry with syafawani, I call her syafa. A fact that freshly memorizing about her is she really fanatics at lara alana's mother. Guess it by yourself. Surely you're correct.

Our part of seat looks alike. Super duper comfort.

Yeay safely arrived!!!

Pulau Payar ni sebenarnya tak boleh bermalam tau. Kena balik hari. Feri sampai dalam pukul 10 pagi kemudian semua visitors kena balik dalam pukul 3 atau 4 petang macam tu la. Korang hanya dibenarkan bermalam kat sini if korang join program apa-apa.Macam aku 2 hari bermalam kat sini. Tidur kat pondok je weh. 

Aku highly recommend you guys bawak air kosong sendiri. Bukan untuk minum tapi untuk mandi atau basuh selepas melepaskan hajat. Kat sini bekalan air bersih terhad sangat-sangat. Tak kan kau nak basuh guna air masin. Melekit la nanti.

Hee please do not shock if you guys see many foreigners just wearing bikini. Kalau tak nak dapat dosa tutup la mata. Tak pun kalau dia lalu sebelah buat-buat tak nampak.

Gambar ni dengan peta sumber dari google tau. Yang lain-lain gambar aku tangkap.

Aku excited sebenarnya nak snorkeling tapi aku takut shark. Kat pesisir pantai pun kau boleh nampak anak-anak jerung dengan sangat jelas. Tapi jangan risau sebab anak jerung sangat baik. Hehe.

Masa aku snorkeling jauh ke tengah dengan kawan-kawan aku, tetiba mak atau bapak jerung lalu kat bawah badan. Secepat yang mungkin aku statik. Seriously saiz besar pastu gigi dia yang berlapis-lapis tu tajam. Perasaan time tu hanya Allah yang tahu. Mujur iklan saja. Maybe that shark wants to greet us.

Lupa nak bagi tau. Before snorkelling pegawai marin ada pesan cek dulu satu badan kot-kot ada luka walau sikit sebab shark ada deria bau yang sangat kuat. Kemudian jangan pakai apa-apa saja yang berkilau sebab ia boleh attract shark untuk attact korang.

Tanned skin face. Putting day cream or body lotion while snorkelling may damage corals.So I choose to put it after snorkelling. Taraaa muka belemoih...

Batu menangis. Aku percaya mesti ada sejarahnya tersendiri. Kan langkawi ni banyak cerita bersejarah macam mahsuri dan kisah di pulau dayang bunting. Batu menangis ni aku tak tau sejarahnya apa.

Lastly kat sini memang famous dengan corals yang cantik-cantik. Lagi jauh korang snorkeling lagi banyak corals yang korang boleh tengok. Kat sini banyak spesies ikan. Banyak ikan berwarna-warni. Macam asikrim paddle pop pelangi tu pun ada tau. Aku sendiri yang tengok. Kalau nak tengok banyak corals dan ikan boleh tengok google image. Aku tak cerita secara detail tapi aku point mana yang penting. Harap membantu. Assalamualaikum.

Happy Monday

Assalamualaikum...

Dulu waktu lepas stpm sementara nak masuk u aku dengan kawan suka keluar waktu pagi ambik angin. Pernah sekali tu mandi sungai pukul 7 lebih. Haha badan menggigil, bibir ungu tapi semangat lagi nakk berendam. 

Tadi aku keluar dengan kak yong ambik angin kat pantai murni sambil tadabbur alam. Dalam pukul 8.30 cam tu. We are always a traveller. Melihat ciptaan Allah melahirkan hati yang bersyukur dan lebih yakin Allah Maha Besar. Aku tak ada dslr, cuma guna kamera fon. Lepas tangkap aku edit guna vscocam bagi cantik sikit. Nah aku belanja gambar area pantai murni.

Honestly aku suka duk yan sebab jalan tak sibuk pastu banyak sawah. Rasa tenang dengan suasana desa macam ni. Kalau abah ajak pindah pun aku tak mau. Kat sini banyak memori aku dengan kawan-kawan. Cukup la setakat ni dan terima kasih kepada sesiapa yang sudi membaca. Wait for next entry yaa. Thank you!

Hari Yang Indah

Assalamualaikum...

Bagi aku, hari ni hari yang sangat best. Yelah tetiba awal pagi kawan-kawan waktu form 5 datang beraya. Then suruh bersiap ajak tengok wayang kat SP. Sebenarnya ini masa yang aku tunggu. Nak tengok wayang dengan kawan-kawan.

Kami pilih Mission Impossible 3. Serius best dan lawak. Tapi membe cakap cerita Ants Man lagi best. Setiap kali masuk panggung mesti penuh (dia dah tengok dua kali kat cinema). Ternyata cerita omputeh lagi best dari cerita melayu. Period cerita ni 2 jam 15 minit. Tak bosan.

Lepas lunch kat food court, kami pi Titi Semeling. Kat sini kawasan paya bakau dan banyak la wedding photoshoot kat sini. Sejujurnya tempat ni memang lawa.

Haa puas melompat. Pastu pi tanjung dawai pekena koey teow tom yam. Akhirnya tercapai jugak. Seriously tom yam kat sini best. Kedai makan kat sini waktu malam selalu ramai. Makan tepi pantai sambil ditemani angin bayu, sumpah best!

Sejujurnya ini kali pertama kami keluar tengok wayang sama-sama. Lepas spm masing-masing sibuk. Syukur alhamdulillah di atas nikmat sihat dan lapang ini dapat bersama mereka. Mana tahu waktu hadapan Allah cabut nikmat sedikit demi sedikit. Maka bersyukurlah dan manfaatkanlah nikmat yang diberi dengan sebaik mungkin. Selamat 1.49 am.

7 Barang Kena Ada Dalam Beg Semasa Travel

Assalamualaikum...

Sapa kat sini suka travel? Yeay kita geng! Actually family aku bukanlah family yang suka melancong. Tapi mak aku ni memang suka berjalan. Aku pun dah terikut. Setakat ni aku melancong dalam Mesia je. Belum ada rezeki nak pi jauh-jauh. Sekarang pun tengah menabung untuk pi short vacay ke Cameroon Highlands next semester. In shaa Allah =)

Aku selalu perasan ramai traveller mesti bawa beg untuk letak fon dan purse tu kan. Normally traveller suka sling bag dengan beg galas belakang. Macam aku suka sling beg lagi sebab senang nak capai barang. So traveller kena ambil berat juga barang apa yang harus ada dalam beg. Semoga berguna!

Telefon Bimbit

Sekarang zaman dah maju. Budak sekolah rendah pun dah pakai smart phone. Apatah lagi orang yang lebih berusia dari mereka. Function telefon bimbit semasa travel sangat berguna. Contohnya dapat call, taking pictures, use google maps. Sangat berguna kan =)

Buku Nota dan Pen

Buku nota mestilah bersaiz kecil dan pen mesti berdakwat. Kenapa tak guna pensil? Pensil cepat patah, agak malap bila ditulis. Buku nota dan pen ni sangat berguna in case nak catat no pendaftaran kenderaan jika berlaku apa-apa dan tulis sedikit maklumat tentang sesuatu tempat untuk dimuatkan dalam diari dan blog.

Sebotol air mineral

Memadailah membawa sebotol air mineral yang mengandungi 500ml air. Kebiasaannya traveller banyak berjalan dan ia sangat berguna untuk hilangkan dahaga.

Dompet

Tak pernah dengar lagi traveller tak bawa dompet. Benda yang paling penting yang kena ada dalam dompet ialah kad pengenalan, lesen memandu, sejumlah wang dan kad bank.
Kad pengenalan
Contoh masa travel berlaku kemalangan, pihak polis boleh contact keluarga.
Lesen memandu
Sekiranya kita memerlukan perkhidmatan kereta sewa semasa travel, lesen memandu yang belum tamat tempoh amat berguna selain dapat elak kena saman jika ada roadblock.
Sejumlah wang
Maksudnya wang dalam dompet jangan terlalu banyak dan jangan terlalu sedikit. Wang syiling juga penting ketika travel. Kalau smartphone kehabisan bateri boleh guna public phone ketika emergency.
Kad bank
Penting bila wang di tangan sudah habis, kad bank jadi penyelamat. Haruslah diingatkan bahawa sebelum travel bajet mesti lebih. Jangan bajet sedang-sedang je sebab kalau berlaku apa-apa susah.

Beg make up

Beg make up bersaiz kecil. Cukup sekadar memuatkan perfume, pelembap bibir, minyak cap kapak dan bedak kompak. Special function of perfume ialah dari segi keselematan. Jika ada strangers yang nak buat bukan-bukan, sembur perfume kat mata dia dan lari sekuat hati. Minyak cap kapak pula penting untuk hilangkan pening dan rasa loya.

Tisu/ Sapu Tangan

Aku selalu miss benda alah ni. Tapi benda ni sangat penting tau. Kalau ada luka-luka atau tangan kita kotor, tisu/sapu tangan ni la jadi penyelamat. 

Powerbank

Pengguna smartphone memang kena ada powerbank sebab smartphone cepat kehabisan bateri. Powerbank yang diperlukan masa travel mestilah ringan sebab masa travel kan banyak berjalan. Kalau beg berat kita akan rasa cepat letih.

Last but not least, stuffs yang aku nyatakan kat atas ni mesti ada dalam beg. I learn from mistakes. Bila barang tak ada terkial-kial nak cari. Bila travel pastikan beg kita ringan dan barang tidak terlalu banyak. Lebih baik beg tu bersaiz sederhana. Advantagenya kita senang nak gerak. In shaa Allah nanti aku update pasal perkara yang perlu diselesaikan sebelum travel. And surely short vacation kat Cameroon pun aku update. Keep waiting, ya....

Short Vacay in Langkawi

Assalamualaikum...

Masa cuti sem hari tu aku ada pergi short vacay kat Langkawi. Actually masa final exam aku ada jugak terfikir nak having vacation kat penang. Alhamdulillah apa yang berpusing-pusing kat minda ni comes true. 

Aku balik cuti sem hari tu naik flight. Masa transit kat subang baru aku balik dengan kawan aku. Dia study kat ukm. Kami turun kat airport penang dan aku stay kat rumah kak dia 3 hari 2 malam. Abang ipar kawan aku punya sporting. Lepas balik keja terus bawa jalan-jalan pusing padang kota. Memang terbaik!!!

Yang pasal Langkawi ni memang kami plan time tengah final exam. Kawan aku yang sorang lagi la ajak. Dah kebetulan time cuti tu aku takda buat apa-apa so aku join jela. Short vacay just for 2 days and 1 night. Nak lama-lama dop leh ler sebab bajet kurang.

Alhamdulillah again sebab semua tempat yang kami nak visit kami pergi. Allah banyak permudahkan urusan kami. Ok this time untuk aku belanja gambar. Nah tengok!

SkyCab

First place yang kami visit ialah SkyCab atau cable car. Dari kuah ke gunung mat cincang macam kutub utara dengan selatan. One strong reason kami jadikan SkyCab ni sebagai tempat pertama untuk melawat adalah sebab kat sini selalu ramai. Duk kat sini pun dah ambik masa sejam lebih sementara dapat naik cable car. Haa sky dome baru siap buat. Macam 6D. Naik roller coaster sampai rasa pening nak termuntah. Aku suggest bawa plastik sebelum masuk. Sebelum terlupa, aku masuk sky dome ni free. Lepas masuk sky dome baru boleh naik cable car. 

Dari dalam cable car =)

View dari stesen terakhir. Ada orang cakap yang ni Laut Andaman. Aku pun tak sure.

Kat kaki gunung. Dah macam negara omputeh. Even matahari terik tapi rasa dingin. Tak berpeluh pun. Tampat pun bersih. Thumbs up!

Belanja satu gambar eden. Time ni kat kaki gunung.

Makam Mahsuri

Dalam muzium. Seram pulak eden tengok yang rambut panjang tu.

Makam Mahsuri. I keep asking my friend, is Mahsuri's body under the grave?? Macam tak caye.

Feeling ada anak raja tolong ayunkan. Haha.

Underwater World

Kat chalet. Moh wefie sebelum pi cenang. Bilik murah je kami stay. Cukup sekadar aku boleh lepaskan penat lelah aku. Satu malam je stay tak payah cerewet sangat lah.

Ini breakfast kami. Three bottles of mineral water and three cups of maggie show that there are three person who join this short vacay. Thank you zawani bangun awal pagi tolong buatkan megi. Cukup bagi tenaga untuk aku drive.

Flamingo

Ketam jepun. Besaq gila. Buar bbq pun best.

Membelakangi helang pun boleh =)

Sebelum aku tamatkan entry ni, aku nak pesan untuk student tu kalau nak travel dalam mesia ni bawa la kad pelajar sebab dapat diskaun. Ada yang sampai 50%. Save bajet dah tu. Pastu ic jangan lupa bawa. At least kalau jadi apa-apa senang orang nak cari waris kita. Untuk cuti sem ni aku tak fikir untuk travel. Aku fikir nak kerja sebab next sem aku kena spend lagi banyak. Kalau ada rezeki lebih aku tetap travel. Semoga Allah permudahkan. Ameen. Aku mohon maaf kalau ada buat hati sesiapa tak tenang memandangkan aku baru nak masuk tidur. 2.15am already. Gigih taip. Selamat pagi kawan-kawan.
