Have you been told it's impossible to bring your dog along on a nomadic adventure?
When wanderlust strikes, the thought of leaving behind your furry best friend can kill those travel dreams before they even start.
Ryan is joined by Lora Pope, who was living in Mexico when a tiny pug puppy literally showed up on her friend's doorstep. One look into those big eyes and she knew her travel plans were about to get a lot more interesting.
Since then, she's taken Puglo to four continents and 14 countries while building her online business. She's been rejected at airports, had entire trips canceled over paperwork mistakes, and learned some expensive lessons the hard way.

Chapters:
07:21 – Getting denied by Air Canada
11:46 – Reliable sources of pet travel info
12:26 – The mistake that forced her to cancel her Europe trip
18:43 – The rise of pet-friendly hotels
30:23 – How Puglo got an EU pet passport
You'll discover the real costs of traveling with pets, which countries are open to four-legged travelers, and the paperwork mistakes that could derail your entire trip.
Lora shares the apps that have saved her sanity, the transportation tricks that work in different cultures, and how having a travel buddy actually makes meeting people easier, not harder.
Listen and learn about a brilliant discovery she made in Barcelona that now saves her hundreds of dollars every time she flies to Europe, a hack that most pet owners don't even know exists.
