Have you ever wondered what makes you choose your next destination? What inspires you to travel to one side or the other of the globe? Is it the culture of a nation, its people, its landscapes, its food? When it comes to me, it has to be a good mix of all of the above. I am always interested in visiting unexpected places and meeting people I don’t already know, trying dishes I have never heard of and learning about beliefs sometimes far from my own.
But when it comes to travel, I think that, in the end, what will matter the most will not be what you ate, where you’ve been, or whom you’ve met. Yes, the most important will be how you felt. Traveling is all about sensations, about how to live fully each moment through your explorations…
Now, if you’ve been reading my posts for a while you already know that I feed my wanderlust on Instagram whenever I have to stay home. But I have to admit, though some of the pictures you can find on this social network are astonishingly beautiful, they’ll never compete with how some travel videos make me feel. And if you’re not already convinced, let me introduce you to ten of my favorites.

Thank you for this great inspiration! I would love to see some female travel film producers but couldn't find any. Maybe that would be a great topic for a Blogpost ;) I am sure they are there and just need to be found.
Looking forward to your articles!
Oh my gosh I am so glad you posted these! I really need some travel inspiration, and videos are my go to, they often stick with me for months and even years- until I inevitably have to travel to that place to see it for myself. I can't wait to watch all of these, the India video was wonderful!

Totally South America for me if I had to choose from the list but I love Israel too. Right now I'm travelling New Zealand while writing songs that inspire me about my surroundings. Your blog inspires me! http://jessjournal.live
The video Love Japan has been replaced by the one on India ...
Anyway, great selection !
Some great photography in all of these videos and at the same time they all use the same technique of 1-2-3 second cuts that leave me a bit dizzy. Is there no other way to make a video short?
