Used to travel on official government business when I was a civil servant. Because my kids were young and my husband worked for himself, it was easy to arrange my work travel around the summertime when the kids were not in school. Part of me misses the fun and excitement of seeing new places when traveling.
Another part of me is glad to stay at home since many things have happened to not make traveling "safe" and there is an added layer of stress. Also, there are no funds allotted for travel in my budget.
But if you can't afford to travel, there are definitely other ways to satisfy your wanderlust or vacation dreams.
Can't travel? Go to the movies! :)
Always looking for foreign or international film recommendations anyway. Found this list (link below), compiled by Pedro Richardson, a hotel management professional who shares his travel experiences.
Mr. Richardson's list two of my ardent desires: traveling and watching a good movie!
However, his list does NOT include two (2) films that inspired my wanderlust, so I'm suggesting you add them to the list. Consider them a BONUS TIP!

12 Films to Inspire You to Travel - (travelwithpedro.com)

● Film #1: Three Coins in a Fountain (1954)
– How could anybody, young or old, possibly watch this movie and not want to immediately book a flight to Rome, Italy, is beyond me!

● Film #2: Queen (2013)
– This is a Bollywood film, starring Kangana Ranaut. It's described as an Indian comedy-drama. Her fiancé decides at the last minute that he doesn't want to get married after all. What's a girl to do? Go to Europe! What else? More specifically, go to Paris and Amsterdam. Who needs a husband on a honeymoon anyway?? This movie is too cute for words! But if you watch it, you will definitely want to plan a European vacation.
