Pet influencers that travel? We support this!

Whether it is a pampered pooch, a feline friend, bird, fish, hamster or anything else, our pets are important members of our family. In fact, it is estimated that around the world, 57% of the entire population are pet owners.  While most of these pets are living their best life with their human, not every furry friend is concerned only with treats, walks and nap time.  Some of our furry friends have taken to social media and become instant Insta-celebrities. (And for good reason!)

Here is our top list of globe trotters have been hitting the trails, exploring the artic and flying the skies – and always looking super cute whilst doing it! Check out these global explorers to learn more about this new genre in the online world of influencers and social media. And give them a follow!

Hiya, I’m Maud. I’m an English girl who's moved to Berlin - because who wouldn’t fall in love with a country which has words like ‘Kummerspeck’ hidden around every corner... I love traveling and finding out the quirks of each country - and what better way to remember them than on a postcard?
