I once read on an October 2007 issue of Newsweek about “poorists”. These are tourists who forego the highly comfortable yet highly predictable tour itinerary for the globalized parts of the world. They actually pay money so they could visit impoverished and grimy places like Soweto in South Africa, the slums of New York, and one among the largest slum areas in Asia- the slums of Mumbai in India.

A Brazilian slum-tour company claims to have booked 650 tourists for a single month. The tour has its own dark charms- the prices are cheap compared to that of the regular travel packages to popular tourist destinations; the relatively well-off ‘”poorists” get a chance to see for themselves what it is like to have limited means for survival- something that they could hardly imagine possible.

The article got me thinking about Bono and how he started, years and years ago with his advocacies for the poor and the oppressed. He started with something similar; he and his wife tried living for a month with a village of natives in South Africa. It was a life changing experience that got Bono using his rock star charm and smarts. He helped bring about and is still bringing about a lot of good change for third world countries.

I know I need not go on any slum-tour to get my epiphany… but I wish other tourists would think about taking the alternate route to a more rewarding experience.

Before the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was released as a movie, everyone knew that New Zealand was a beautiful place… when the LOTR movies were launched everyone got to discover just how much beauty New Zealand had to offer.

Who would have thought Middle Earth could exist here on the actual Earth? The lush greens of Queensland were the envy of all who enjoyed the tranquility of nature. Just looking at the clear and green waters of the forests is refreshing enough; it is as If one could already feel the cool waters on his skin. The varying landscape of the country which was generously revealed through the movie- shifting from green plains to tree-less hills to verdant forests to rocky cliffs present an enduring source of awe and fascination to nature-lovers as well as a haven of inspiration for painters and photographers. And who could ever forget the serenity and simplicity of The Shire? Certainly not those who live in the hustle and bustle of a city.

The movie brought in even more admirers to New Zealand, it was difficult to resist the magnetism of such enviable beauty that’s pretty hard to come by nowadays.

Going beyond the significant impact this has on tourism, the greater picture presents a real challenge and inspiration – the challenge to protect and preserve and the inspiration to stand for nature.

If there are movies that make so much of an impact to the audience that those who watch it are just raring to pack their bags and travel to wherever the movie inspired them to, there are also songs that enthuse listeners - either by the lyrics or the beat – to take off and go on a break. Here are a few of those songs:

Kokomo. No other song can make it to the top of the list save for this hit from the Beach Boys. What could be more enticing than the soothing summer rhythm that give a run down of the Caribbean Islands?

Pacific Coast Party. Actually, almost all songs from Smashmouth are reminiscent of the beach, this is because of their signature lively thumping beats. This song’s lyrics is simply the most obvious…

Billy Joel’s Vienna and Boston from the band called Augustana are quite serious songs but the lyrics present the two destinations as a getaway that promises an escape and a rare chance at a new beginning.

Moonlight Over Paris perfectly captures the romantic melancholy that the city of love offers. As if the word “Paris” was not enough to entice tourists.

The original motion picture soundtrack of the film 50 First Dates with the reggae twist on 80’s pop hits such as Melt With You and Love Song is simply the definition of beach music… where else would that take you?

Every corner of the world is worth exploring including different festivals that you will both see and experience. This is your travel blog to enjoy every minute of your travel.
