Wandering Around Time Square!

By

If you've been following me on Instagram (Wildechildyup), then you know I've been to New York recently! I have visited the Big Apple before, but I haven't experienced any of the famous land marks on the tourist checklist. This time I made sure to see Time Square lit up in all of it's blinding glory!


From blocks away you could already see the hazy lights of one of the world's most famous tourist spots. The lights only get brighter the closer you get!


 Although it was pretty cold and misty, we trekked out to the heart of the city to take in all of the bright lights. Time Square wasn't as crowded as I anticipated, perhaps it was the weather, yet it everything I had imagined and saw every year during the New Year Eve Ball Drop. There is no way I would ever want to be in Time Square for that! It would be way too intense and crowded. I'm glad there weren't mass crowds of people walking around during the night, we seemed to have picked the perfect timing!

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 ...

Group Travel: How to Start!

By
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. ...

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...
