“Relax. You are also going to travel. From one city to another. Converse in multiple languages. Explore districts to countries. Experience every culture at its finest. And when you do, you’re going to meet people who may or may not have an impact on you. You’re going to converse with people who are different from you, similar to you - people who you like or might not like - those who will belittle you and encourage you - who will believe in you and help you, and you’re going to learn from each one of them. You’re going to get to know them. Hear their story. What frightens them, what motivates them, what keeps them going. And you’re going to find out that there is more to life than any of this. You will feel pain, sadness, frustrations. But you will also feel alive, exuberant, human. You are going to find out that no experience is entirely the same as another. Some are relatable, but no two experiences are utterly, downright the same. That is why it is important to have your own. Not only will it teach you the best and most striking lessons, it will also make you feel alive. And truth be told, I don’t think anything really compares.”

The Sheltering Sky is a 1990 British-Italian drama directed by Bernardo Bertolucci starring Debra Winger and John Malkovich. It’s based on the 1949 novel by Paul Bowles (who narrates and appears in the film) about a couple who journey to northern Africa in the hopes of rekindling their marriage. Plot: 3 Americans from NYC arrive in Tangier in 1947. Port and his wife Kit are accompanied by their friend Tunner on a trip that will take them deep into the Sahara. Tunner observes “We’re probably the first tourists they’ve had since the war,” to which Kit replies “We’re not tourists. We’re travelers.” While Tunner plans to return home in a few weeks, Port and Kit plan on staying for a year or two. The film was mostly shot in Morocco’s Tangier, Ouarzazate, Erfoud, and Tamnougalt, although most of the locations actually named in the film are in present day Algeria.
