Isn't it nice if you read a book or watch a movie or are in the middle of enjoying some other type of media and you know that places featured in this book/movie/audioplay are places you've actually been to?

It makes the whole experience much more vivid.

In my case it's Frank Schätzing's book "The Swarm", in which half of the action in the beginning takes place in and around Vancouver/Vancouver Island (The aquarium or Whalewatching for example).

It just doubles the fun of listening to the audio-version of the book
