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.
