They say travel is about the journey not the destination... but in these turbulent times, we've been challenging our ideas on travel, and remembering the art of the staycation. 

Travel movie lists abound. From the cliched to classics, foreign to quirky arthouse, travel has inspired many a director and played main character as well as backdrop to many a film worth escaping into. 

So, what have we been (re)watching?  

Bringing back our Local Wanderlust series but with actual travels (!) as we indulge our wanderlust by exploring and being inspired by Australia herself. 

Next up on the local wanderlust list, is Victoria. From ocean views to coastal stays and some gorgeous snow country options- here are resorts, retreats and homes that have caught our eye. Some places are open with some limitations now, others are opening soon- so now is a great time to get planning.

Just because overseas travel is unlikely for the forseeable future, doesn't mean you can't indulge your wanderlust in 2020. Starting in NSW, here is our little series of favourite Australian wanderlust options for a little luxe, and a whole lot of local love.

The soft lapping of clear aqua waves, the finest whitest sand between your toes and palm trees that are the stuff of island getaway dreams, the Maldives embodies barefoot luxury at it's best...

An intensely evocative place on every wanderluster bucket list, the Sahara is one of those absolutely captivating places that speaks to the wanderer within...

The pearl of the orient retains an old world charm. Step away from the hustle, and you’ll uncover French Concession streets shaded by ancient trees, ornate paper lanterns and the whispered beauty of the alluring cheongsam dress- inspirations for our Shanghai.
