Experiencing homesickness is common for travelers who have been away for extended periods, so the Lucky Bastard Goin’ Home Travel Candle is intended to help offer a way to combat against the feeling no matter where you are.
The candle is crafted from 100% premium soy wax and has been scented to smell like the Pacific Northwest, which means lots of cedar, pine and fresh air notes in the mix. This helps to turn a hotel room or a hostel into a more cozy environment to stave off the effects of homesickness when you're not likely to return anytime soon.
The Lucky Bastard Goin’ Home Travel Candle has been crafted in California and comes in a travel-friendly tin that can be kept in your backpack or suitcase.
