When I started planning this trip, I had more than a few dreams about how the journey would be and where it would lead. I’ve written about these extensively in the past, but suffice it to say — some moments on the road have exceeded these dreams and others have upended them. But each moment has proven worthwhile in its own messy, beautiful way.
One dream that continues to live up to all the desires I had way back in 2015 is the decision to avoid the interstate and stick to back roads and county highways. Moving through the country at this slower pace means that I am guided to really see what the country has to offer. Somehow, it never gets old.
So today, I figured I’d bring you along in the car via a selection of songs I’ve been loving lately — a curated playlist for your commute, however that may look. (For maximum pleasure, I highly recommend playing with windows down and the sunroof open.)
Please enjoy.
