When planning a trip around the world one thing is certain you are going to have your travel days where you are spending extended periods on trains, planes, and busses. For me, I must have a travel playlist ready to go that is downloaded to my phone for those times when there is no cell phone reception. Below is a list of my top 30 songs on my Spotify travel playlist with an explanation of why each made the cut. I’d love to hear what’s on yours!!!!
