Sydney: Walking tour & Sweets!

I still have a few more goodies to share from my trip to Australia! Today I've posted a video to my Youtube Channel (Wilde Child) about my first day in Sydney! It's at the bottom of this post, so don't forget to check it out! Amie and I traveled back to Sydney after a few days at Port Stephens, which was a blast! Now it was time to explore a new city!



On my first full day in Sydney we had breakfast at Petal Met Sugar, which was a cafe and a florist shop. After eating we joined a free walking tour with the I'm Free Walking Tours! The walking tour is a tip based tour and our guide (Indigo) was a history student who really made the tour fun by mixing convict history with iconic tourist spots and the architectural history! She was really fun, energetic, and truly informative! You'd be lucky to get her on a tour!


After our tour we went to Glebe Market. There's a jewelry line that I follow on IG called Haus of Dizzy and, since I was in Sydney I wanted visit the stall in person! Glebe Market has so much to offer. It's a mix of small business goods (clothes, food, jewelry, skin care) and flea market finds! It's a great way to spend a lazy afternoon. We got there late, unfortunately, but we still got to see a lot of what the market had offer in terms of the different vendors:)

After the market, Amie allowed me to drag her around Sydney for a little bit longer! There was a cafe I really wanted to check out called La Floraison💮


They sell these really cool looking flower jellies that I wanted to try. Let's just say that it looks better than it tasted! It was supposed to be coconut flavored, but I didn't taste any coconut flavor. It was kind of tasteless, but it was beautiful! I also got a back up treat! A mermaid cupcake and a latte with a unicorn design on top. I would suggest this cafe, I just wouldn't suggest the flower jellies.



When we were done at La Floraison it was dark and we were tired from trekking all of Sydney! We really had a full day of walking and went back to relax for a bit on Amie's roof top! The views were 360 and amazing! You could see the Harbour Bridge and the Opera house all lit up in the darkness! You can see the awesome view in the video below! Check out our day around the city and, if you've tried the Flower Jellies from La Floraison, let me know what you thought about this dessert!



I'm going to try to get the rest of my Sydney videos up before the end of January, so I can start the year off right! Follow the blog, subscribe to the YouTube Channel, and Follow me on IG (Wildechildyup) to come along on my adventures and get updates on new videos! Thanks for stopping by!

Pittsburgh Spots to See On Your Next Trip

There are, of course, so many things to see and very little time when all you've got is about 24 hours in one city. I did a quick day trip to Pittsburgh, PA and challenged myself to see some interesting stuff during my time there.   I did the Duquesne Incline and saw the stadiums, bridges, and sights from afar. (View from the top of the Incline)  I didn't want to waste time trying to get to all of the best diners all around the city, which I am sure are great, and I didn't go to The Strip or do any tours. Instead, after the Incline, I went to the place that drew me to this city in the first place: RandyLand !  I saw this place on Instagram and knew I had to see it for myself. The drive wasn't long for me, coming from Columbus, OH. It opens at 10 am and Randy was there tinkering around. He welcomes everyone with a great big smile and his contagious high energy. Randyland is truly an expression of the man who made it. (Randy Gilson) ...

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)...

Port Stephens: Marine Park & Lighthouse

November and December are always the worst blog months for me because I'm usually doing NANOWRIMO and there are lots of family birthdays and holiday events. And now I've started a second job! Although I'm not writing as much as I want, I do still have a backlog of videos! Don't forget that I do have a Youtube Channel (Click HERE) , a home for all of my trip videos, as well as travel tips and conversations with some of my favorite travel buddies!  Here is the latest video I posted; more footage of my Australian adventure :)  We spent our last day in Port Stephens and Nelson Bay buying postcard and wandering around the Marine Park working our way to the Lighthouse. It was a on-and-off-again cloudy and rainy day, but the views were still worth standing in the chilly air and a little rain. At the top of the incline, where the lighthouse and lighthouse museum is, there's also a little darling cafe! It's called the Inner Light Tea Rooms . (I'm telling you, ...
