When you see a destination on screen, something magical happens. Whether it’s the Austrian hills where Maria von Trapp twirled or the moody Pacific Northwest atmosphere where Edward and Bella fell in love, the camera has a way of making any filming location shine even brighter. As passionate travelers, it makes sense that the places we see on TV and in the movies play a part in inspiring our travel bucket lists. 

Today, host Angie Orth welcomes Rachel Chang, an entertainment and travel writer who has interviewed celebrities about their journeys. She’s visited countless filming locations, including Salzburg to explore The Sound of Music sites, Paris to see where Emily in Paris was filmed, and Atlanta to explore the neighborhood where many Marvel movies are made.
