Youtuber and MTB influencer Jasper Jauch spends many kilometres a year on the road. The right beat is essential for his van life, says Jasper. Jasper was recently travelling in Sweden, always on the lookout for new bike adventures. Jasper has put together the ideal road trip Spotify playlist for us.
Essentially, I've always led the vanlife lifestyle, but for extremely practical reasons. During my time as a racing driver, I simply didn't have enough money to be able to afford hotels. So I always stayed in cars or in a bus. My first vehicle was a T3, in which I had a bed. This was followed by a T4, which also had a bed. My last car was an Opel Vivaro. All my life I've had cars in which I could stop anywhere and at any time to spend the night. - Jasper Jauch, Youtuber and MTB influencer
If you travel a lot, you have plenty of time to pass. That works well with music. Jasper Jauch has put together his perfect vanlife playlist for our Soundcheck section. These are his first 10 songs. You can find the rest on Spotify: bike MAG.
A few classics by Fleetwood Mac or Cari Cari already guide your thoughts to beautiful sunsets in secluded spots somewhere on the coast. But so that the long journey doesn't become too sentimental and you keep daydreaming, there are always little wake-up calls such as Aytee, Egotronic or Mausio, which bring you back to reality in terms of lyrics or music. I think this playlist is as versatile as I would describe myself. Have a safe journey at all times. - Jasper Jauch, Youtuber and MTB influencer
