As spring break approaches, plans are finalized and the packing scramble begins, a motivating music selection could be exactly what is needed to manage the often stressful vacation preparations. Get a head start on your travels as this playlist anticipates the places you may be going and brings the power needed to get you there. 

PinkPantheress’ “Stateside + Zara Larsson” and Miley Cyrus’ “Party In The U.S.A.” set the tone for travel within the United States, while “Around the World” by Red Hot Chili Peppers opens the door for trips abroad. 

Prepare to party it up on the east coast with Will Smith’s “Miami,” or romanticize fleeting feelings and life with Bruce Springsteen’s “Atlantic City.” Head out west to California with Train’s “Save Me, San Francisco” and “Malibu” by Miley Cyrus.

If a big city is more your style, you can catch a flight to the Big Apple with “Welcome To New York” by Taylor Swift or to Sin City with Katy Perry’s “Waking Up In Vegas.” 

Those desiring to travel abroad can stream Shawn Mendes’ “Lost In Japan” or “Paris” by The Chainsmokers while also brushing up on their history with songs such as “Pompeii” by Bastille or “Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down)” from the Original Broadway Cast of Hamilton. 

Whether traveling to grandiose locations or simply heading home to rest, this playlist inspires dreams of destinations near and far, bringing the energy for an exciting spring break.
