A Playlist for Going Airborne

This morning I will be hopping on an airplane with a one-way ticket to my home away from home. I love airplane rides; they feel enchanting, mysterious and refreshing. Every time I have been on an airplane, there has been something new and thrilling waiting for me at the end of the trip. One of the things I enjoy most about flying is the intimate and personal time I get with myself. As the plane takes off, you can expect my earbuds to be pushing familiar jams into my ears, and my thoughts are let off their leash. In the midst of my move back to the city to start another year of school, I decided to compile a list of songs that go well with taking flight.
