Description:

It's the summer holidays and this is the second year we are suffering from this pandemic. My family and I stay in our own country again and I get something we Germans call "Fernweh". It's the same as homesickness ("Heimweh") but backwards, the longing to see new places, new countries, new cultures.
So I came up with another way to travel the world. We create a musical journey around the world for our two partners.

Here's what we do:
We browse through our playlists to find 6 different songs from 6 different countries sung in 6 different languages, with English being banned. You can send both your partners the same list of songs or create two different collections. Your own country may be represented with one song too, but only if you aren't from an English speaking country (Sorry guys 😅). Make sure the songs can be found on YouTube, so your partners can fully enjoy the trip around the world you create for them.

Decorate or create a notecard/letter with an envelope in either a music theme or a travel theme or a mixture of both. But there's no need to go overboard with this, just make it look nice for your partners.

In the letter/notecard write down the following:
- song title and musician/band
- country of origin and language
- if you know it, at least 1-3 words about the topic of the lyrics (can be any topic/doesn't have to match a theme)
- brief description of why you like/chose this song or how you got to know it
- at least 1-2 things you think your partner ought to know about this country, so that it feels a little like sightseeing (can be geographic information/historical facts/fun facts/typical dishes/...)

Extras are optional.

We should all end up with two very special world trips, where we learn about up to 12 countries and listen to their music. ☺️
