The Art Of Travel Blog #4: The Darien
We are happy to present the exclusive web only trailer and first of seven behind the scenes webisodes of The Art of Travel. Each month, we’ll premiere a new webisode - and in-between, we’ll have biweekly blogs from the actors and filmmakers, plus cool image captures from the movie.
This story has been three years in the making, and shooting the film over 7 weeks in 5 countries was an adventure for the entire cast and crew.
No, The Art of Travel is not a documentary or the retelling of the bestselling philosophy book with the same title - It is the story of Conner Layne, a high school grad with a full ride to college who finds his plans interrupted by a life changing moment… a moment which becomes the spring board to a travel adventure that ultimately changes Conner’s hopes and dreams.
What is the Darien Gap? Where is it? Why is it one of the most dangerous jungles in the world? In The Art of Travel, Conner Layne meets Christopher Loren and his wife Darlene. Both are leading a jeep expedition across this jungle - a trip that will last over 370 days!
There are no roads… They will need to make roads by hacking with machetes. When Conner decides to become the seventh member of the expedition, he has no idea how many friendships he will form and how he experience will change his life. To learn about the Darien Gap and the expedition, and how the film crew challenged the rain and
bugs, enjoy this months webisode: “The Darien”…

Thank you for this amazing movie!
In the theater you mentioned I could get a copy.
Where do I go to get a copy?
This movie has inspired me to stop dreaming about the things I would love to do and to start doing them.
Look out world here I come!
Thank you!
