In the Mood to Travel

April 1, 2010 | Author ajpassey

I know we just got back from a trip and you’d think that a 3 hour flight and a 4 hour drive would be enough to cure me of the travel bug, but it wasn’t. I was listening to Missy Higgins yesterday and my favorite song, Don’t Ever, totally makes me want to go on a travel-adventure.

Don’t Ever by Missy Higgins

Her accent, her voice, her music all stir emotions in me. I feel nostalgic and dreamy. At the same time I feel a longing for something just beyond my reach that I can almost identify. I love her music because it helps me be reflective and opens a creative channel for me to bring in ideas and hopes then inspires my plans to make them happen.

Here are a few other songs that really inspire me to travel.

Train: Save Me San Francisco

Barenaked Ladies: Never Is Enough (“I can go to Europe, travel with my friends…Buy a giant backpack. Sew a flag on the back”)

Milkshake: Travel Far (I didn’t know this was the title of the song, but it does inspire me to want to travel far)

I have a Travel Accessory for you!

When I went to Blissdom in February I made several luggage tags to hand out as gifts to bloggers I wanted to meet or connect with. I found a few yesterday that I hadn’t handed out. I thought I’d share them with you! I have four to send out (one has already been claimed by my mom). Aren’t they cute? They are decorative so you can tell your black bag apart from other people’s black bags.

Here’s the deal.

Send me an email at becausebabiesgrowup@gmail.com giving me your name and address. The first four emails I get will received a luggage tag in the mail. I will send you an email in return letting you know if you should be checking your mailbox or not for one. I promise that I will guard your personal information with my life and never solicit you through your mailing address.
