2013<\/h6>\n

About: Set in Australia, it’s based on a true story of a young woman (Robyn Davidson) with 4 camels and her dog walking from Alice Springs\u00a0to the Indian Ocean. The journey was 2000 miles.<\/p>\n

Travel Inspiration: Willing to go against all the people warning you away from your dream. Robyn is truly\u00a0inspiring, that she was willing to travel through an\u00a0area of the world were she could have died.\u00a0After watching the movie, I definitely\u00a0want\u00a0to reconnect with\u00a0nature.<\/p>\n

You really can expand the boundaries of your life and do risky things and prove yourself by doing them – Davidson<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
