In 2019/2020 our world, sociality was hit very hard because of a Covid-19 pandemic. Our daily life, hobbies, and priorities have changed. Everything has changed, also the way we used to travel. But there is one thing that has grown rapidly in a few last months and I am not talking about the numbers of infected.
People are more and more adopting pets! Yes, you heard me right! Some people are now working or learning from home, but some feeling lonely. These changes have made us really think about the possibility of adopting a pet. And I am also not the exception!
In 2020 summer I met Chico, a small, beautiful spitz boy, who has been abandoned because of his illness. From the beginning of the pandemic, I am studying from home. And that's actually one of the main reasons, why I decided, that it's the right time to make my dream come true. So I adopted him!
We love with Chico to do long walks and explore new destinations. Whenever we have a chance to drive out of Berlin, we do also road trips. That all has changed my travel habits a lot! I needed to learn different rules, find the best solutions and understand his needs. Traveling with a dog is something totally different. You need to be prepared for many things and still be able to relax and have fun!
