If you know me, you know that I absolutely love to travel, and I LOVE music. There’s something about discovering new places, trying new foods, and immersing myself in different music scenes which truly excites me. But as much as I love the actual act of traveling, I also love the planning and preparation that goes into it.
One of my favourite parts of the planning process is creating the perfect playlist for a trip. Music has the power to transport us to different places and set the mood for any experience, and even to create deep emotional memories. Whether I’m hitting the road for a long drive or jetting off to a far-off destination, the right playlist can make all the difference in setting the tone for my adventure.
That’s why I’ve put together this list of my favourite travel playlists – I hope they can help soundtrack your next adventure too!
