Nothing defines a road trip more than the soundtrack. How can you forget the wild and free nature (and soundtrack) to accompany Thelma and Louise as they escaped into the horizon?

As I jet off to Montreal this weekend, I thought I would celebrate a few days early with a playlist to keep things interesting.

My advice for a road trip? Look for classic, easy listening jams that are sure to be car (or bus, or train...) favourites. Remember to always stir in that odd song that may be new or a little out of the mix to perk up your travel mates when the road gets long and boring.

What are your classic road trip songs? I would love to know and create a collaborative playlist before the summer starts.

For now, we'll have to brave the winter, but that doesn't mean you can't still go out and explore. As long as there's music to be the soundtrack of our lives, it will always be fun.

There's something really fun about listening to other people's iPods. You never know exactly what they're into until a few songs in, and something totally hits you that you didn't expect at all. So this time, instead of my personal preferences for a playlist, I'm trying to put myself in someone else's shoes (and ears) in what they might play.

If you know me, I'm obsessed with Audrey Hepburn. I can quote Breakfast at Tiffany's by heart, have an affection for too-big sunglasses and could love to have her super-cropped coiffure. She's the picture of clas, and such a beautiful role model for her acting and philanthropy work. She believed in living life simply, surrounded by the ones you love and taking each day as a gift.

So if Audrey had an iPod, what would have been on it?

I read somewhere that she loved jazz music, and always had it playing throughout her home. It totally reminds me of red wine - smooth, velvety and sophsicated without trying too hard. I've put together a collection of songs that she might have on her playlist if she was hosting a wine night in 2011.

The Playlist: Audrey Style.

"All Blues" - Miles Davis
"Lovers in Japan" - Coldplay
"Rolling in the Deep" - Adele
"After Midnight" - Danny Elfman
"Waiting on the World to Change" - John Mayer
"Stormy Blues" - Billy Holiday
"Samson"- Regina Spektor
"For Emma" - Bon Iver
"I'm Getting Sentimental Over You" - Ella Fitzgerald
"Restoration (Four Tet Remix) - The Acorn
"New Soul" - Yael Naïm

This was surprisingly fun challenge - totally out of my box in what I normally turn to for music, but I really enjoyed mixing these pieces into my daily soundtrack. Let me know what you think!
