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. One person
may suggest 10 days, someone else may suggest 5. The ability to compromise
is very important in situations like these. The group will be able to reach an
agreement faster and easier when everyone is willing to be at least a bit flexible.

Another important factor in group travel is honesty. Being up front and truthful
about where you want to go and what you want to see or do will make the
planning process much easier. The earlier the group shares what interests
each of you, the faster you and your friends can include those interests in the
plans!
As my friends and I move forward with our trip plans. I’ll be sure to keep updating
here. Be sure to follow the blog for more of my group travel tips and insights.
If you have any advice of your own, I would love to hear it! Please leave your
advice in the comments below :)

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 ...

Wilde Child Travel: Travel Safely

By
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)...
