Wanderlust Yoga Festival TIPS

When I officially received my Wanderlust Oahu 2017 tickets I WAS STOKED! And I also felt somewhat overwhelmed. The analytical/over organizer came out in me...HOW DO I BEST PREPARE FOR THIS?? That's the exciting thing about 'FIRSTS'!

I'd like to share MY 5 TIPS on preparing yourself to enjoy your time at Wanderlust.

1. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE: have a glance at all the classes being offered and make a mental note what you may attend. Some classes with very limited capacity will fill up fast and put you on a wait list but i found that i was able to get into all the classes i wanted even if i was on a wait list (unless of course the class is mountain biking and there are only a set number of bikes). Wanderlust uses a 3rd party app that helps you plan out your schedule. I suggest you plan it out and also be open to changing it on the fly once you're there.

2. THINGS TO PACK: this list could be long. I am only going to list: small light backpack, snacks snacks snacks, refillable water bottle, cash/credit card. that's all I needed for necessities. So long i was fed and hydrated, i was a happy yogi. Worth mentioning, sunscreen, sunglasses, a light change of clothes because Oahu got chilly at night, a small notebook to journal frequently.

3. TAKE A TRAVEL MAT INSTEAD: i personally could not be bothered with carrying a yoga mat with me on the plane etc. my travel mat folded down nicely into my little drawstring backpack and worked well in all my classes. some classes were indoors on soft conference room carpet and others were outside on the grass.

4. ELECTRONICS: if you plan on video/picture documenting your trip i recommend a gorilla pod, a selfie stick (yup), and maybe an action camera (though they can be costly). I will admit, spending time documenting a trip can take away from the actual experience so get your shots in or set up your device and then let be. Allow yourself to just enjoy the moments. Word of advice, it helps to know exactly how to use your devices so you spend less time figuring it out in the moment.

5. BUDGET: airfare, accommodation, festival ticket ($500 full festival pass), extra add on activities, food, spending money. I like to always be prepared and know what to expect on my next CC bill.
