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 ...

Group Travel: How to Start!

Traveling with friends can be a blast. Sometimes, even before you book tickets/hotels, it can also be a pain. The group has to get together, decide on location, dates, duration of trip, where to stay, and more. I believe the more work you put into your trip before travel, the more fun and relaxing the trip will be! Don't forget to check out an earlier post on Which Travel Size Fits You to help determine if group travel is for you! Currently I’m in the midst of planning a group trip with some friends overseas - which adds a bit more difficulty to this group travel planning process. They live in Europe and I’m in Ohio, so it's not like we can all sit down over coffee to hammer out the details in one go. But, thanks to modern technology there's group chat, video messages, and other ways to overcome the time differences. We know where we want to visit; Rome. Now we come to figuring out how long each of us are able to travel. ...
