Walk a dog while you are traveling!

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Ambassador programs, which allow people to take shelter dogs out for a day of exercise, are increasing in popularity across the United States. These day trips are a great tool for introducing shelter dogs to potential owners, as well as providing exercise and socialization for both dog and human. Learn about one dog-lovers experience with an ambassador program and a shelter dog in this article.

If you are a traveler, this could be a great idea. You will be able to see the town and country with a "friend" - and dogs are natural conversation starters with the "locals". Meanwhile, the dog will get some well-deserved exercise.

Taking city tours while travelling

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

When I travel I tend to spend many hours researching where to go and what to do. This planning can be very stressful and to be honest, I’m not very good at it. Taking a city tour is an inexpensive way to avoid some of that unpleasantness. Plus, I had never really considered the fact that everyone knows about the places mentioned online. It would be nice to learn about the places the locals appreciate and so few tourists really get to see.
