Christmas markets with your dog? 🎄🐾✨ Twinkling li Christmas markets with your dog? 🎄🐾✨ Twinkling lights, festive stalls, the scent of cinnamon and a little Christmas magic… even better when shared with your furry best friend. ❤️ But behind the festive sparkle, there’s something worth remembering: Christmas markets can be busy, noisy and overwhelming for our four-legged companions. A little planning, a slower pace and knowing when to take a break can make all the difference. For travellers departing from Malta, KM Malta Airlines connects you directly with festive destinations such as Munich and Vienna, with eligible small dogs welcome in the cabin. ✈️🐾 In my latest Passaġġi feature for @kmmaltairlines , “Christmas markets with Roy”, I share my Dog-First™ tips for enjoying Europe’s festive markets while keeping your dog’s comfort and wellbeing at heart. Because the best adventures are shared. 🐾 Follow our adventures on @pupspaintandprosecco for more Dog-First™ travel inspiration, real experiences and practical tips for exploring the world with your dog. ❤️ Would you take your dog to a Christmas market? 🎄 #DogFirstTravel #ChristmasMarkets #TravelWithYourDog #DogFriendlyTravel #PupsPaintAndProsecco

In New York, even the front doors dress up for Hal In New York, even the front doors dress up for Halloween. 🎃🗽 Last Halloween, Roy and I wandered past brownstones transformed into everything from haunted houses to spectacular works of art. The pumpkins, the skeletons, the cobwebs, the creativity… honestly, I could have spent hours just admiring the stoops! 🍂 And of course, Roy had to pose for a few photographs along the way. 🐩 New York really does Halloween like nowhere else. 🧡 Tell me…are you team spooky skeletons 💀 or pretty pumpkins 🎃? #NYCHalloween #HalloweenInNYC #NewYorkWithDogs #NYCBrownstones #DogFriendlyTravel

The One Where We Remember Matthew Perry. 🤍 Three The One Where We Remember Matthew Perry. 🤍 Three years ago today, we lost the man who brought Chandler Bing to life. 🕊️ Last year in New York, Roy and I stepped inside the world of FRIENDS — from Central Perk to Joey and Chandler’s apartment, and yes, even those legendary recliners! And honestly, every time I wandered into another room, I wanted to call my brother David and shout, ‘You HAVE to see this!’ 😂 We'd watched FRIENDS together so many times, and I could just imagine his reactions to every little detail. Oh, how I wished he'd been there with Roy and me! ❤ And I think that’s part of what makes FRIENDS so special. Beyond the laughter, it’s the memories and moments we’ve shared with the people we love. Today, I’m remembering Matthew Perry and the unforgettable character who brought so much laughter into our lives. Some characters never really leave us. And neither does the laughter they leave behind. 🤍 Thank you, Matthew. 19 August 1969 – 28 October 2023 🕊️ What’s your favourite Chandler Bing moment? 📍 @friendstheexperience #MatthewPerry #ChandlerBing #FriendsTVShow #TheFriendsExperience #FriendsForever

A dog stroller isn’t about stopping your dog from A dog stroller isn’t about stopping your dog from walking. It’s about making travelling together easier. 🐾 For us, it’s part of travelling Dog-First™ — giving Roy somewhere to rest after a long day, protecting his paws from hot pavements, and keeping him comfortable in busy or crowded places. It’s also perfect for relaxing at a café or restaurant after a day of exploring. ✈️ Did you know? When we fly with KM Malta Airlines, Roy’s stroller travels free of charge in the hold, subject to the airline’s pet-travel conditions. I also share more about travelling with a dog stroller in my latest Passaġġi article, @kmmaltairlines inflight magazine. 🐩 Follow @pupspaintandprosecco for practical Dog-First™ travel tips, real experiences and destinations to explore together. #DogTravel #TravelWithDogs #DogFriendlyTravel
