EMILIE
TRAVEL MOVIES:
- Out of Africa :
I’ve re-watched this one while I was backpacking in Malawi. My 4 months in Africa were way less romantic!!
- L’Auberge espagnole :
Who wouldn’t be tempted to do an Erasmus exchange after watching this movie?! Mine was done in Elche, Alicante.
- Carnet de voyage (Diarios de motocicleta):
I’ve crossed South America by bus, but one day I’ll do it by bike, one day…
BOOKS:
- L’aviatrice- Paula mclain: I’ve read this one bulimously during a diving course in Egypt!

MUSICS :
- Train – Thylacine
- Je rêve d’ailleurs – Lady Sir
- Herzan – Soapkills
ALBAN
MOVIES :
- Porco Rosso – Ghibli
Not really a movie about travelling, but I think all my dreams (that are projects now) related to travel came from that movie… dreams like earning a boat and sail it or to go live somewhere else from France. It’s also related to my very first travel in Italy!
- The Darjeeling limited – Wes Anderson
- J’irais dormir chez vous – Maxime de Pontivy
Not a movie at all, it’s most likely a documentary. For me, those documentaries (there is several episodes) represents pretty well a backpacker life: travelling with the minimum stuff on you, trying to get absorbed by the local culture and life.
BOOKS:
- Marcher – Thomas Espedal
- 7 ans d’aventure au Tibet – Heinrich Harrer
- Ce Mexicain qui venait du Japon et me parlait de l’Auvergne – Jean-Claude Lalumière
MUSICS:
- Dream of the Sky – Miracle of Sound
- Follow me – Muse
- Mauvaise réputation – George Brassens
NANAE
MOVIES:
- Eat Pray Love
- The Bucket List
- The Terminal
Airport is a place which makes me excited !
BOOKS:
- Shinya Tokkyu – Kotaro Sawaki (Japanese)
- Sorairo Hitchhiker – Hashimoto (Japanese)
- Guide books (Especially Japanese guide books): Japanese guide book have more photos than text and colorful so it gives you so much travel ideas ?
MUSICS:
- Take me home, Country roads – John Debver
- Rouge no dengon : from the movie of Ghibli “ Kiki’s delivery service ”
- Skinny love – Bon Iver: This song reminds me my first solo trip to Canada.
LISA
MOVIES:
- Into the wild
Movie saw countless times, especially during my trip in Scotland with my 2 German friends! It resonates with my dream/project of travelling without, (or at least not much) money!
- Wild
Discovered that movie in New-Zealand. The travelling which is before all an inner travel! Loved it’s raw authenticity about an Inner Journey, not always easy, but so nourishing! A movie about finding one-self.
- The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
BOOKS:
- Petite – Sarah Gysler: This woman is one of my great contemporary inspiration!!
- Le voyage de Théo- Catherine Clément
- L’Alchimiste – Paulo Coelho : This book has been one of the rare that I brought with me in most of my travels. A beauty of inspiration on getting in touch with your dreams that never really leaves you, and that are the most precious treasures you can have!
MUSICS:
- Mimaamakim- Idan Raichel Project : Music discovered during my trip in Israel! Listening to it always brings me back to the wild and desertic atmosphere I felt in this country.
- Je pars- Michel Sardou: In the plane for my first solo trip! A must to listen when you leave for the first time your family 😀
- Eddie Vedder – Hard Sun : Music in the movie “Into the Wild”
