The other day I was thinking about traveling. OK, I’m lying – it wasn’t just the other day, I’m always thinking about traveling. I spend hours looking at maps and thinking about all the places I’d like to visit. And the only thing I love as much is music. There isn’t a day in my life that’s not filled with music. There isn’t an emotion I’ve felt not associated to music. Since I’m in no position to travel at the moment I figured I’d have to find an alternative way to fulfill that need. Music also makes us travel. It makes us travel to unknown destinations, it makes us revisit the places we’ve already seen, it even makes us travel to other dimensions. So until further voyages I’ve decided to travel with music. Come and join me in this musical trip around the world.
