Wilde Child Travel: Long Haul Must Haves

By
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

By
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 ...

Why I Joined a Hotel Reward Program

By
I've been a member of a hotel rewards program for over an year now, but haven't been really using it until recently. I've stayed in hostels, Airbnbs, and even couchsurfed, yet I still really enjoy hotel rewards programs and all they have to offer. Now, more than ever, it's easy to accumulate points with any brand. Shopping online and signing up friends can get you to a reward faster. More commonly, points can add up with hotel credit cards, stays with sister hotel brands, airline miles, and car rentals. Points can be used domestically and internationally at anytime and usually there are no blackout dates. If you want to extend your stay, for example, simply trade in your points for another night! It's easy to use members' points also for spa days, airline miles, products, free nights, activities, and meals. Brands love faithful patrons and want to treat them well when they visit, so they send special offers to reward members only. Based on the prog...

New Year, New Adventures!

By
Happy 2018! (Japan - New Years 2017)  It's already half way through the first month of the year and I'm already plotting my trips for 2018! Well, actually, I decided on the locations months ago! But the planning and saving starts now!  (Australia 2017) Last year trips were so much fun, but I'm always looking forward to the next plane ride or booking the next accommodation and exploring a new environment! Travel is truly addictive :) My 2017 adventures were either solo trips or I travel with one other friend. 2018 will be very different! I have two major trips and they are both group trips! I'll be going to Europe, which  will be a girls adventure, and Nicaragua, which will be AWESOME! I'm very excited about both travel opportunities and sharing it all on the blog and on the Youtube channel ( Wilde Child Travel )!  (Albq, NM 2017) Make sure you subscribe to the Youtube Channel and follow the blog to come along on the next year of adve...
