Champagne Travel on a Beer Budget

Whether it is a road trip with friends, a lazy break on an idyllic beach or a sexy jaunt in a big city, the sound track to your trip can add some style to your holiday, setting the mood and giving you an easy way to re-live travel memories in the future.

I know that whenever I hear Manu Chao I am transported back to a fun couple of weeks spent in the Greek Isles where Manu Chao was on high rotation at the beach bars.

NPR Music’s Road Trip Series has inspired me to ponder what my must-have holiday tunes would be.

So, what tunes would be in your ultimate holiday soundtrack? Do you have particular songs that will always remind you of past travels?

My ultimate holiday soundtrack would have to include:

Manu Chao (for when it is time to get in party mode)

Cafe del Mar (for chilling out in a hammock, champagne in hand)

Xavier Rudd (for coastal road trip sing-alongs)

Billie Holiday (for wining & dining trips to the city)
Why not share your favourite travel tunes in the comments?
