Ultimate Traveler Playlist
I’ve already made a playlist with 100 travel songs and a playlist with songs that made my spirit travel but I’ve discovered so many new songs since then I HAD to make another post!
I tried to add more languages in this one (less “famous” ones) even though I don’t study them all. Also all these songs don’t talk about traveling, but they make me happy and make me want to travel so I want to share them with you :)
