Frosted Flakes: Have You Ever Been Inspired to Travel Somewhere Because of a Movie or TV Show?

Surprise! I’m doing a travel flakes on Tuesday this week since today I am starting a three-day hike in the heart of Ecuador which finishes at Quilotoa Lagoon. Obviously I won’t be bringing my laptop. After the trek, I will be heading back to Quito for the weekend. From there, I will be meeting up with my younger brother and we will be spending a week traveling together through Ecuador before he flies back to Miami. It will be the first time we are traveling together as adults so I’m reading looking forward to it.

One of the articles I posted in Flakes is about Lithuania seeing an increase in tourists because of HBO’s Chernobyl. I spent about a week traveling through Lithuania last year and was really enjoyed learning about the history of Vilnius and attending a cultural festival in Kaunas. There is also lots of abandoned Soviet stuff there that are starting to become popular attractions so I guess it makes sense as to why HBO decided to film there.

A lot more people visit Albuquerque thanks to Breaking Bad, Northern Ireland thanks to Game of Thrones, and Ireland’s Skellig Michael (the picture above) has received more visitors since Star Wars filmed there.
