Travel Tune – March 31, 2019
Dance A couple of artists came together to create this tune.  I heard it on my recent around the world trip and made note of it.  It’s not amazing, just a fun tune. Klangkuenstler is a techno artist from Berlin.  Alice Phoebe Lou grew up in South Africa and now lives in Berlin too.  Some

So you know, I don’t receive any commission on any product reviewed or recommended here. Intro Clothes worn on travel can be very personal.  Each person has their own body type, fashion preferences, brands they trust and prefer, and more.  I’ve been through a lot of travel clothes over the years, from the zip-off pants

Travel Tune – March 18, 2019
Ao Melhor (The Best) What can I say, I just love Elza Soares.  Brazil has some wonderful music, and she’s a big part of that.  Here’s a song I found recently.  If you like it, Spotify does a pretty good job of recognizing similar artists. I’m not sure my link to the song via Spotify

Travel Tune – March 10, 2019
Another song that I stumbled on during my recent round-the-world trip.  I think I found the song on one of my favorite stations in the U.S. (KCRW), but can’t remember exactly where I heard it.  It’s an acoustic track from an Australian songwriter.  It’s nice, hope you like it too

UPS, Immigration, Crime, and Sweden
I took this post offline for awhile, because it seemed to be very controversial.  People in the U.S., including myself, are overwhelmed with political messages and stories.  All that news is pretty exhausting to be honest, especially since it’s mostly negative.  However, after reading more about Sweden, mass migration across its borders, and ...
