I have found that the secret to traveling with family for a long period of time is carving in some me time and finding your own space. This can be difficult when you are cooped up in a small hotel room with the kids and can’t even turn on the TV late at night because you will wake them or when you are on a plane, a car or a train getting from one destination to another with kids in tow.
I have found that a great solution for these instances where you can’t find a quite space to read a book or take off on your own little private adventure at a destination (which both my husband and I do by taking turns with the kids at different hours of the day) is to take some me time and play a game on your phone or mobile device. One of my favorite games right now is Panda Pop.
Panda Pop is a bubble-popping puzzle game where the you are challenged to rescue baby pandas trapped in colored bubbles. Mama panda flings bubbles from the bottom of the screen, and when three or more match up, they pop and potentially free a trapped cub. This game has been a great lifesaver during our travel when it comes to killing time in airports and train rides. Not only is it fun and challenging without being so difficult that I get frustrated but it’s also easy to learn and the app provides you with lots of tutorials and help not just at the beginning but also as you go along and advance levels.
Even though it seems like we don’t have time for anything anymore I have found that whether I am at home or traveling I just need to find some me time and playing Panda Pop does the trick. I put on my headphones and I can just zone out and focus on saving some cute baby pandas. I like that the game also involves some strategy so I am also challenging my brain a bit while I have fun and take a moment away from the day’s busy schedule.
I love that Panda Pop is fun yet challenging enough to make it fun. If you haven’t tried it already you can download it for free HERE. I know that you will love it just as much as I do!
