Wilde Child Travel: Long Haul Must Haves

On long trips there are a few things I make sure I always have with me. These items are beside my cellphone, wallet, jacket, and every other everyday item I carry with me. When I am on a long haul flight or train ride, I want these things within my reach at all times!


1. Archer Farms Monster Trail Mix: It's my favorite snack. The bigger bags have a resealable mouth that is great so you don't have to eat it all in one sitting. I keep this with me so I won't have to get more expensive snack at the train station or airport. It contains chocolate, peanut butter, peanuts, and raisins. Salty and sweet!

2. Ipod: I have to have my music. I like blocking out everything around me - especially if someone near me is snoring.

3. Cell phone charger: Must keep my phone juiced.

4. Sunglasses: A necessity, especially on trains. I like to wear them on trains when I'm sleeping to help keep light out of my eyes.

5. Hand sanitizer: Any kind is good, but I love the Herbalife brand. It doesn't sting my skin or leave a potent scent on my hands.

6. Gum: I usually bring mint flavor with me. It's the most soothing scent and I chew it during take off on planes.

7. Face wipes: These are great when you have a long layover. Wipe the oil off your face and neck and throw the wipe away. Simple and you'll feel refreshed.

8. Instant coffee: (Not pictured) I always keep a pack of instant on me. I ask for either hot water or cold water at the cafe and make my own coffee.

Kyoto, Japan | Owl Family Cafe

Japan was one hell of a trip. There were some events that were planned ahead of time and the first event was time at the Owl Family Cafe ! I've been beyond excited about this for months now and am very glad that I was able to do this!  At first the cafe was frustrating because we arrived 15 minutes before our scheduled time, as was instructed on my reservation. We arrived at the location stated only to find out that the cafe had MOVED ! It took 30 minutes to find the new location. I was really afraid that we would miss our reservation. Luckily the cafe understood the lateness and we got to play with owls!  The price was very inexpensive, about $15 per person, depending on how much time you purchase. I purchased 1 hour. The price included 1 hour with the owls, one hot or cold beverage, and the workers take photos of you with the owls on your behalf (using your phone or camera).  I loved the Japanese beverage shelves. The top shelf has a thick white ...

Wilde Child Travel: Travel Safely

The travel season is upon us and, unfortunately, it is a more tense and stressful than normal . Getting on a plane to visit your family and friends have been more nerve racking than ever with all of the attacks that have been happening all over the world. Part of the goal of the unfortunate events being reported by the media is to create panic. There is no way for us travelers anticipate what could happen next, the only thing we can do is to prepare ourselves for the worst and continue with our lives. It is hard to prepare for emergency while traveling, I know. That is why I have rounded up some of the most useful safety travel apps that can be downloaded over various platforms (smart phone, tablets, and computers) so you can carry them with you and always be informed in case of an emergency! 1. TravelSafe by BoaLogik: Provides important information in times of a crisis. Applied to most countries, TravelSafe has the basic emergency numbers (fire department, police, hospitals)...
