]]> Here we are over a year into the Coronavirus pandemic and travel is still as complicated as it was before. While we may able to do it more than we could last year, we’re still highly limited, meaning that many of us are still sitting around at home wishing we could see the world but not being able to. So what’s a travel lover to do other than put on a travel documentary? Here are the ones we’d recommend.

My Octopus Teacher

This is a Netflix original documentary, which is great news, because its accessibility makes it more likely that you’ll be able to watch it. Telling the story of the unexpected friendship between a filmmaker diving in South Africa and a wild octopus, it’s a beautiful film that can make you feel connected to nature.

Free Solo

This film documents an act so extreme and brave you can barely imagine it: world-class rock climber Alex Honnold tackling the 3,200 foot El Capitan mountain in Yosemite National Park with no ropes of any kind. Once you’re done feeling terrified, it makes you feel capable of doing anything.

Kedi

If you like cats, you’ll be happy to hear about this documentary, which tells the story of seven stray cats in Istanbul, allowing you to see the city through their eyes and their interactions with humans and other animals.

]]> Some people use their leisure time to travel while others do it as a part of their work. Billions of people around the world enjoy traveling and exploring other parts of our planet, and one of them found a way to connect travel to her other passion—dance.

Nejla Yatkin is a professional dancer and choreographer who traveled to 20 countries to dance in public places. Her performances are breathtaking and they’re now a part of the video called Dancing Around the World that you can watch below.

Dancing in public spaces is a beautiful way to be present with your surroundings, as Yatkin says in the video. By being present with the place, yourself, and others, you slowly shift the energy around you. Because you start paying attention to the environment, by opening up all your senses to that place, you start engaging with the environment through your movement and other people who pass by are surprised and awaken by that daydream and they might see something new.

“Two years ago I embarked on a journey of a lifetime with Dancing Around the World when I visited 19 countries to take dance to the people, but also to discover why people dance. In each location we created site-specific performances with local dancers to make it more accessible to people, and we documented the experience through short videos, interviews, and group workshops,” she wrote on her website.
