Our journey began when we set out abroad to give nomadic living a try. We had places we needed to visit in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and many other regions, as well as destinations we truly WANTED to explore. We dreamed of doing it all together as a family — and that meant including our beloved dog, Baggo! Baggo is the sweetest rescue from Puerto Vallarta, a dog we proudly gave a forever home.
However, traveling with him quickly revealed a maze of challenges. We needed shots, boosters, and certificates from the vet — and then more certificates from government agencies — to prove he was "approved" for each leg of our journey. Every time we boarded a plane or landed in a new country, we had to present a fresh set of documents, all valid for only a limited period. The process repeated in every destination: find pet-friendly Airbnbs and hotels, secure updated medical certificates for the next country, arrange transport, and so much more. There was simply too much to manage, and no single source of information or app could help us navigate it all. Relying on Google searches, countless phone calls, and the kindness of many airline counter agents, we learned as we went along.
That very experience inspired us to create Wags and Wanders — a platform designed to aggregate all this scattered information and answer the questions you never even knew you needed to ask. Our goal is simple: take the headache out of travel so you can fully enjoy the joy of exploring the world with your loving pet.
