One of my favorite posts I have written this year was about 14 small towns to take a road trip to in North Carolina. As an extension of that post, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite road trip songs. I drive a lot for work so I have some go-to songs for my time in the car, so these are my thirty Ultimate Road Trip Songs! If you’re on Spotify, find this playlist here!

I use Spotify and Pandora for music streaming and I am always looking for playlists to follow. On Spotify, Lindsey Regan Thorne has the best playlists by seasons! On Pandora, I love Bachelorette Party Radio, Florence + The Machine Radio, and Pop and Hip-Hop Power Workout Radio.
