Travels with Tavel, The Playlist

[NOTE: The Mystery Snapshots from the previous entry will be revealed in a separate posting with a little story about how sometimes a dream trip can turn into a travel nightmare… Stay tuned.]

Thank you EVERYONE who contributed one or more songs to this Ultimate Travel Playlist! I have put together the entire list and done something pretty awesome, if I do say so myself…

I have added a YouTube video for every single song, so you can listen by clicking each title below. I know, I know… I’m just TOO much! (Don’t ask how long it took me to put this together…)

I take no responsibility for the quality or content of these music videos, some of which are pretty lame. Just close your eyes, listen, imagine you’re about to land somewhere new and incredible… and enjoy.
