Movies and Travel- The True Joys of Life!
“We love films and story telling as people. It’s just a human compulsion to listen and to tell stories…”- Mychael Danna
Movies have a special significance in our lives!
Using movies we have learnt how to romance, how to sing and dance and also decided on how certain events should take place in our lives.
Along with all this, movies have played a tremendous role in showing some of the best places of the world. Movies have a great share in us, exploring the world!
Movies are always shot in exotic locations such as Jaws and In the Heart of Sea featuring never ending oceans, Friends with Benefits and Notting Hill showing the vibrant cities, Say Anything and Dirty Dancing reflect the innocence of small towns, Lawrence of Arabia and Prince of Persia represent the majestic deserts and films like Everest are totally made on the mercy of the robust mountains! All in all, travel and movies are inseparable! They have always belonged together, and will continue to do so!
Checkin Story has decided to dive in to some of the most beautiful cities of the world namely- New York City, London, Los Angeles, Singapore, Cape Town, Paris, Tokyo, Sydney and not to forget Mumbai!
Movies have a life of their own. But fabulous cities such as these have often enriched the story lines, costumes, characters and dialogues in the movies. Such elements have always in the past, inspired people from different parts of the world to travel and see such places on their own (to live the life of their favorite characters from various films) and will continue to do so.
So we, the writers at Checkin Story have decided to go big on this segment! Yes, we are going to have numerous articles depicting the real life locations of your favorite films! This is going to be fun for us, and all you readers (we hope so at least!)

Now you will know where your beloved movies were shot which will give you awesome ideas for your next vacation.
Why do we watch movies?
Jack Nicholson said in his Academy Award Speech,
“They entertain us; they offer hopes (and) give traumas; they take us places, we never been, just even for few moments; they can take us away, when we want to get away. Movies inspire us!”
Travel adds joy to our life, just as movies!
