Laura Clifford

...director Thomas Whelan embraces the wanderlust spirit in this enjoyable if uneven film, whose qualities often reflect the television background of most of its cast.

The use of such locales as Bolivia, Nicaragua, Panama and Peru adds to the exotic flavor of the film.

Ryan Cracknell

Part The Graduate, part Fitzcarraldo, The Art of Travel is a tribute to living on the road less traveled. Filmed entirely on location, it offers a more rounded portrayal of culture outside of the standard Hollywood clichés

Steve Rhodes

It's too bad that there isn't a documentary about the making of The Art of Travel since that would undoubtedly make for an interesting movie.
