With Christmas coming up soon, highways and airports will be packed with the hustle and bustle of eager travelers. Although traveling can be fun, traveling long distances can get a little monotonous.

One of the best ways to conquer the monotony is to create a playlist to listen to on your journey. Since this decade is coming to an end, here is a list of great music to listen to during your travels:

“I Lived” – One Republic

This 2014 beauty is an inspirational song that tells its listeners to seize the day and appreciate the little things. With words and an instrumental that is powerful enough to give you goosebumps, this is one of the best songs to listen to when you are traveling.

“Club Can’t Handle Me” – Flo Rida

This 2010 dance hit is the best way to get everyone in the group hyped up. Although it’s best to jam together to this song on a road trip, it is still great if you are traveling by plane. Traveling by plane isn’t as fun as a road trip, so this song will surly spice up the airways.

“Run Away With Me” – Carly Rae Jepsen

This 2015 feel good anthem will have you singing your heart out and blasting the volume. There are some songs that take you to other worlds, and this is one of them; it will lift spirits and get you even more excited to get to your destination.

“CAN’T STOP THE FEELING!” – Justin Timberlake

This 2016 hit will have everyone of all ages dancing. As soon as the song starts, you will feel it in your bones; you just have to start moving! If you have an early morning travel time and you can’t shake off the sleepiness, this is one of the best songs to wake you up and get you going. It’s like caffeine for your ears.

“Castle on the Hill” – Ed Sheeran

Perfect for rolling your windows down and throwing your arms out, this 2017 sensation will put you through all types of emotions. This song will cook up strong feelings of nostalgia and take you on a trip down memory lane. Whether you are excited about your destination or not, “Castle on the Hill” will put you in a great mood either way.

“100 Bad Days” – AJR

In 2019, AJR blessed us with a magnificent anthem song to absolutely lose yourself in. When you listen to “100 Bad Days,” you will feel invincible and on top of the world. This is another one of those songs that transport you to another world. It is also a great motivation to not let the little things get to you, you will be okay; sometimes we need to remember that during the holidays.
