I love to drive. Nothing relaxes me more than driving down a long and empty freeway and blasting my favorite tunes with the windows rolled down. With the right tunes, I can drive all day! If you’re going on a long trip or simply want new music to add to your library, here are some of my favorite road trip songs. These songs are mostly upbeat alternative rock and a little bit of electro and some R&B. I hope that you like my playlist. Also, if you know any good songs that I should add to the list, please comment or email me!
