Hi, I’m Shandos Cleaver<\/strong> and this is Schnitzel<\/strong>, my 10-year old Miniature Dachshund. We’re both originally from Australia, but since 2017 we’ve together travelled all over the world, including Europe and the USA, as well as a six-month campervan trip around Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally I didn’t take Schnitzel along when I travelled. It’s difficult to head overseas from Australia with a dog, and I thought even in Australia it was too hard to travel with a dog. But I took the plunge and we both loved it – Schnitzel is a born traveller!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people we have met along the way were amazed that we were travelling with our dog. But an equal number of people asked us for advice, wanting to do the same with their pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My travel blog, Travelnuity (short for travel ingenuity<\/em><\/strong>), was founded in 2015. In late 2017, I repositioned it to focus on dog-friendly travel<\/strong>, partially to provide information, but also just to inspire people to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years though we haven’t travelled as much. In March 2022, Schnitzel was diagnosed with IVDD, or Intervertebral Disc Disease, and required spinal surgery. He has since fully recovered, but due to the chance of a relapse, his globe-trotting days are probably over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, Schnitzel and I are based in Sydney, Australia<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countries We’ve Visited<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Schnitzel has managed to visit an impressive 36 countries! Together we’ve visited the following countries (and states) around the world:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
