The year 2021 has been a year of reflection for many people amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. And while some of the rules have changed, we can still enjoy the December sunshine.

Getaways were a thing of the past due to the strict lockdown levels but now that we’re at Level 1, it’s time to hit the road again, of course while staying safe.

A post-lockdown adventure surely needs some good music to set the mood for the drive.
