With Brits having spent much of 2020 in lockdown, real life discovery and exploration for many will have seemed like a thing of the past with overseas travel plans having taken a back seat for much of this year.
However, while we may not be packing our bags and hitting the road this month, there is still plenty of opportunity to get lost in the beautiful, exotic backdrops of popular series on Netflix – that are helping to inspire our next travel adventures.
To help to find new ways to scratch that wanderlust itch, we’ve teamed up with youth travel provider, Topdeck Travel to discover how you can experience many of the popular Netflix shows for yourself when overseas travel opens up again next year.
Selling Sunset
Selling Sunset is the glamourous real estate reality that has taken Netflix’s audience by storm during months of lockdown. The reality TV show follows the highs and lows of life at the real estate agency, The Oppenheim Group as its team work to sell multi-million-dollar properties located in high end zip-codes. The uber-glitzy lifestyle of the show’s main characters and ‘realtors’ isn’t the only thing making viewers green with envy as they watch as scenes switch from sun-drenched LA boulevards to the serene views of the Hollywood hills. The Netflix hit takes its name from the infamous ‘Sunset Strip’, the 22-mile long road that stretches from West Hollywood through to the beaches of Malibu and provides any visitor with a glimpse into the lux lifestyle of the local residents.
Fancy experiencing sunset on LA’s boulevards? Get the Netflix experience with Topdeck’s California Calling tour – hitting the road from April 2021.
