Everybody loves “Travel” playlists. What I love even more are “Songs about Travel” playlists as every culture has a different way of expressing the desire of travel through language. As I’ve always been fascinated with travel, languages and different ways we express ourselves, I’ve compiled a selection of 10 songs about travel in 10 different languages that I probably took 10 years to find. Hope you enjoy. πŸ™‚
