How far can a movie take you? From Greece to Tuscany, from the United States to the deserts of Australia, there are many feature films that can get you excited for the next adventure as well as a journey through their narrative, paths, and plot. While these films about travel are beautiful in their own right, they also inspire you to travel when played by female leads.

Wild (2014)

Cheryl Strayed, played by Reese Witherspoon, is a woman tormented by personal drama who decides to start her life over by crossing a path from the US-Mexico border to the Canadian border. On her journey, Cheryl confronts her worst ghosts, grows with challenges, and leaves us with a few inspiring messages about overcoming those challenges. This movie talks not only about travel but also about how we value things around us or the erroneous escapes we find for problems, which in the end only bring more trouble.

Tracks (2013)

Here, Robyn Davidson, played by Mia Wasikowska, finds herself on a modest thought journey through the Australian outback in mid-1997, in the prime of her youth, walking 2,700 km from Alice Springs to reach the Indian Ocean.

The plot goes through sometimes hard-to-live scenarios and sometimes landscapes that will inspire any traveler to pick up a backpack and explore the world. Tracks is an inspiring film that tries to help us learn about the power of travel, face our fears, and find our way.

In addition to the challenges of renewal and the emergence of a new passion, the film also depicts two sides of the city: one through the eyes of the tourist, who burns with the desire to know every corner of this world more deeply, and the other, a local who wants to break the stereotypes of where she lives. It's the perfect movie for any woman who's made a big change in her life and is looking for a new identity.
