How to Make a Road Trip Playlist

The perfect road trip requires a perfect playlist. Here are five tips to help make sure your playlist is well-tuned when the rubber hits the road.
  1.  Variety is the spice of life. Be sure you have a mix of old favorites, new ear worms, and crowd favorites. An eclectic selection works well with the spontaneity of road trips and enhances your sense of adventure. 
  2.  If you have passengers, make sure that their tastes are taken into consideration and their musical tastes are represented. Or, work from multiple playlists and take turns being DJ.
  3.  Keep it positive. Good tunes make for good moods. The music you listen to on your trip is an integral part of your experience and these songs will be connected with the trip in your memory.
  4.  Keep the flow of the music in mind. Start with something spunky and upbeat, keep longer songs for the middle when you will have longer stretches of road, and be sure to end with something epic.
  5. Burn your playlist onto a CD so you can give it as a gift or keep it as a memory of your trip.
