PROMPT: Inspired

Daily writing prompt
What’s a movie or book that inspired you to travel?

I would say it’s much more common for travel to inspire me to read a particular book than the other way about. I can’t think of a case in which reading a book was the prime mover in a decision to travel to a given place. But I do try to read some literature from every country or literarily active city that I visit.
