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!

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. ...

New Year, New Adventures!

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...
