“And the hits just keep on coming”… Global Connections, Inc. (GCI) has shared Global Discovery Vacations members favorite road trip play lists that range from classics to indie rock.
According to Corey Thibodeaux, online content manager for GCI, “Music is one of those art forms that permeates every aspect of our lives from entertainment to exercise to ambiance. And travel is no stranger to music, with many artists drawing inspirations from their time on the road or in memories of home. We started sharing some of our staff favorites and members were inspired to send in their own favorites. We rewarded some of our member contributions with a set of Global head phones.”
O musika filifilia a le lalolagi na aofia ai Willie Nelson "I Luga o le Auala," Allman Brothers '"Ramblin' Man," O le Proclaimers '"O aʻu Gonna Be (500 Miles)," Lyndsay Buckingham's "Holiday Road" ma Johnny Cash faia "Ou' ve been Everywhere ”e taʻu ai ni nai.
Other suggestions from the Global staff for great tunes to hit the road were: Red Hot Chile Peppers – “Around the World,” OneRepublic’s “Good Life,” Lissie’s “Wild West” and Mumford and Sons’ “Hopeless Wanderer.”
“Our entries were all over the map, figuratively and literally,” said Corey. “Global member’s play lists included artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Jimmy Buffet, Don Williams, The Beach Boys and Alice Cooper. Quite eclectic!”
Member engagement contests and social media participation are sources of pride for GCI. The musical suggestions sent by members were filled with their enthusiasm for vacationing and traveling with Global. The social media team was flooded with messages such as these throughout the Road Trip Play List promotion:
"I se malaga lata mai nei mo le tolu-aso, sa ou taaalo ai ia Alice Cooper, Kiss, Rob Zombie ma The Doors e faatautaia laina e lua o loli, isi taavale ma ni vaaiga matagofie mai Michigan i Texas."
- Larry C
O pese a le Zac Brown Band na ou manaʻo ai e alu i le matafaga ma Global Discovery Vacations:
'Wishin' Sa ou tootuli loloto i totonu o le vai i se mea!
Maua le lagi lanumoana, agi agi mai le savili i loʻu ulu, naʻo le popole i le lalolagi ua oʻo le tai i loʻu nofoa.
Mafaufau i se tafaoga tumau,
O le sami e naʻo laʻu vailaʻau
Maimau pe ana le alu ese loʻu tulaga. '
E naʻo nofoaga e iai laʻu vai ou te faimalaga ai. Alu i Cape Cod ia Oketopa ma le GDV.

"Faʻatasi ai ma le matou aiga tele, matou te tiʻetiʻe i le tele o taunuʻuga o Global Discovery Vacations. O nisi o matou e fiafia iai o le 'Le Mafai Ona Taofia le Lagona,' 'Lulu ese,' 'Leiloa Le Tama,' 'Teine E Na o Fia Fai Fiafia.' Latou te saunia i tatou mo mea malie uma! ”

“Our members are a great bunch of people and we love finding out more about who they are, what they like doing on vacation and what they listen to,” says Corey. The Play List promotion was one of our more popular events and we’ll add this to our list of ongoing programs.”
