Recommendation Request: Anything like ‘A Map for Saturday’

This documentary (2007) follows a filmmaker after he quit his job to travel solo send the world for a year. I love the style of it and its pre social media so he relies on email to communicate with his loved ones and friends met on his journey. I’m wondering if there are others like this in the same time period or prior. The way it’s shot is very dependent on it being pre-smart phone era traveling.
