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? 🎄

Halloween may be over in Malta… but I’m still on N Halloween may be over in Malta… but I’m still on New York time! 😂🎃

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 🎃?

Throwback to last Halloween in New York City, when Roy and I dressed up for Scooby’s Manhattan Murder Mystery Dinner at @borisandhorton ! 🎃🐾

A Halloween mystery party, fabulous costumes, and dogs joining in the fun indoors. What’s not to love?

One of those wonderfully quirky NYC experiences that made our trip even more memorable. 🐾

Would you take your dog to a Halloween party like this? 🖤

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?

I still remember when travelling internationally w I still remember when travelling internationally with my dog felt like such a big undertaking.

Today, Roy and I have explored different places together, and along the way I’ve learned that travelling with your dog isn’t simply about finding somewhere that allows pets.

It’s about making them part of the experience. 🐾

If you’ve been dreaming of travelling with your dog but don’t know where to begin, welcome!

I’m sharing our travels, experiences and practical advice to help make that dream a little more achievable.

When travelling with Roy, nearby green spaces and lovely walking routes are always high on my checklist. 🌳

Because dog-friendly travel starts with considering what makes the experience comfortable for both of us.

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.
