Movie Inspired Trips · Set Jetting & Movie Tourism · Cinematic Travel Experiences
From set-jetting to magical movie moments, travelers are discovering how films and TV shows can enhance their journeys. In this episode I sit down with Jessica Grace Coleman — author, filmmaker, podcaster, and founder of Movify Your Life — to explore how movie-inspired travel can transform not just your trips, but your life. Jessica shares how she turned her adventures into a “moviementry” and practical tips for bringing cinematic magic into everyday travel.
Episode Highlights
Next Step
Grab a piece of paper and write down your favorite travel or life memories. Look for recurring themes — people, places, or details that always light you up. When planning your next trip, intentionally weave more of those elements into your itinerary and your life.
Reflection
Jessica shared a powerful line from Donald Miller’s A Million Miles in a Thousand Years:
And once you live a good story, you get a taste for a kind of meaning in life, and you can't go back to being normal. You can't go back to meaningless scenes stitched together by the forgettable thread of wasted time.
