Read MoreWhat No One Tells You About Travelling Alone With Dogs
Over the past few years, there has been untold kilometres (or miles for my American friends) pass under the tires of my car, all with my faithful mutts happily snoring away in the backseat.

We started this day the proper way: with a nice walk. Our Airbnb was on a 100-acre farm with a walking path that led from the house, up a hill, and then back. I had asked our host about snakes and scorpions and she told me that it was too cold for them and once … Continue reading "UFO’s and Bottomless Lakes"
