Music is a universal language. Even if I cannot speak Portuguese, Spanish or the many other languages I have heard while traveling; music is a great way to communicate. Trading music or playing favorite songs with new friends or local DJ's opens the door to furthering my understanding of other cultures music and broadening my musical horizons.
I don't think I could survive the 20+ hour bus rides without my ipod. Driving through the endless desert-like dirt roads of Argentina, it has been great to have old and new music to help put me to sleep or pump me up with new ideas about what I want to do with my life. Here is a list of some of my favorite road trip music. Look on iTunes or soundcloud.com if you want to listen/download the songs.
