5 Key Elements of Every Great Road Trip Playlist

Every road trip has a few requirements: snacks, google maps, bathroom breaks at sketchy gas stations, and, most importantly, music. The playlist of a road trip might be the most essential part of ensuring a good drive (exceptions to this might include a car, gas, and directions). There’s 5 key elements to make the playlist for your next road trip great enough to keep you jammin’ the whole ride there and back.
