Get Your Ultimate Road Trip Playlist!

Travel Tips
Road-trip Playlist

Happy Holidays my friends! ๐Ÿ˜€ What is your recipe to the perfect road trip…? I bet that for most of us it simply must have: fun company, lots of spontaneity, yummy snacks & great music!

Am I right or am I right? ๐Ÿ˜€

 

I’ve wanted to compile a road trip playlist for the longest time! And as you probably know, I am a sucker for road trips and good musicโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜€

Music plays a huge role in my creative process… In fact, I was inspired to write this post while listening to Pentatonix: The First Noel & That Is Christmas To Me.

Give them a listen & you’ll be ushered into a wondrous festive mood, no matter where you are… ๐Ÿ˜€

 

P.S. As and when you travel, remember to stay safe and observe Covid-19 safety measures… Always keep your mask on and sanitize frequently.

Who Needs A Road Trip Playlist Anyway?

Have you ever gone on a road trip with folks who donโ€™t exactly share your taste in music? Oh it can be quite the torture! ๐Ÿ™

Or perhaps, you’ve had those awkward moments when the radio signal disappears, stories have fizzled out and there’s nothing interesting to listen to….

Tip: Create your road trip playlist in advance, and save it on your phone or flash disk to keep the fun going. ๐Ÿ™‚

It’s a given: tastes in music differ: what is entertaining for one person might be like a snooze button for the next person.

Tip: If you are traveling in a group, create a diverse collection for your road trip playlist. This way, you’re likely to cater much better to different people’s moods, taste & settings… ๐Ÿ˜€

 

Nothing Beats Team Effort!

To make this fun and inclusive, I requested you to send your road trip playlist suggestions via Facebook and Instagram… And whoa! You, my friends, do not disappoint! I love you for it! ๐Ÿ˜€

I enjoyed listening to the diversity in your suggestions & putting this list together was uber exciting!

I feel like a DJ at this point, so let me put on my imaginary ‘Beats by Dre‘ headphones & let’s dive into it! ๐Ÿ˜€

P.S. This is a compilation of your suggestions + some of my favorites for the road. Press Play, put it on Shuffle & enjoy! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    That’s a great playlist you got there.

    From your list, I added the following to my current one.

    Coldplay- Hymn For The Weekend
    Luis Fonsi, Demi Lovato- ร‰chame La Culpa
    Yemi Alade Ft. Sauti Sol- Africa
    Imagine Dragons-Thunder
    Fall out boy- Immortals
    Cold Play- Magic

    They go well with some Indie Folk, so I would add these to the Night trips.

    Years from the sun – Miles Away
    Family of the Year – Hero
    Roo Pans – Open roads
    Trapeze Swinger – Gregory Allan Isakov
    Native – Ocean
    The paper Kites – Train Ride home
    Kothbiro – Ayub Ogada
