Around The World In 80 Songs


I saw the following quote about travel from Susan Sontag which resonated with me:  "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list."  I love to travel and I have a long list of places I'd like to visit.  Like many people, my travel plans for this year have been put on hold thanks to the entity that shall not be named.  However, while I may not be able to travel physically, I can travel through music.  As such, I decided to compile a list of songs titled "Around The World In 80 Songs" featuring some of my favourite destinations around the globe as well as some on my list of places to visit in the future.
