My Fave Road Trip Playlist

My Fave Road Trip Playlist – July 2016

I’ve been working on an engaging, demanding food project across South Africa this year. So far, we’ve spent time in 57 towns over about 80 nights and covered 11 500 km (excluding flights, of course), flying or driving back home to Cape Town in intervals to work and recharge.

That’s a lot of car time, and naturally, we rely on podcasts and music to get us through, especially on those 7-hour stretches. Not the coolest selection, perhaps, but this is the list I loved the most on the last journey from the Northern Cape back to Cape Town. Here’s my fave road trip playlist.

What are you favourite road-trip tracks?
