What’s your top travel soundtrack?
iPod, youPod, we all Pod - especially when we’re on the road. Music was made for travelling. It can lull you to sleep on a longhaul flight, pep you up after days in the car, and turn train journeys into filmic adventures. I swear by Scott Walker, Jimi Hendrix and Air as my staple mobile minstrels.
STA Explorers Meg and Mojo have been giving their playlist plenty of thought in the run up to their European interrailing trip. When you’re spending so much time on a train, the right tunes can transform a drag into a delicious drama, as Meg explains:
There’s something so right about rolling down the road in a bus, or gliding along in a train, or even walking along on your own two feet that complements the beat of your favourite songs.
As such, they’ve each put a cute mixtape widget on their sidebar, courtesy of My Flash Fetish, to share top trip tracks. It’s a great idea and they’ve already got other interrailers commenting on the post, so jump over and nominate your own travelling sounds. I’m also a big fan of Muxtape - why not make a compilation for your own journey and send us the link so we can share some aural inspiration? As those jaunty Swedes say, thank you for the music, people.
