Traveling Playlists

I'm putting up a list of tunes that always help me feel adventure when it calls. I enjoy music that almost pulls me to look outside at the surroundings when I'm driving or flying, riding or walking. It could be anything from Coldplay to Avicii, Jónsi to Ke$ha, but either way, it's all on what works for you.

These are just short lists (15 songs per category - I only made it to P in my library).

Happy traveling!
