Our Paws & Pathways is a blog dedicated to pet owners who love to travel. We share our experiences, recommendations, and challenges faced while exploring the world with our furry friends. Join us on this adventure!
Wake Forest is a northern suburb of Raleigh, the capital of NC. During this travel assignment, we lived about 25 minutes north of Wake Forest. We drove into town for groceries, bookstores, coffee, and other daily things. It's very charming and extremely dog friendly!
For our first trip we explored Beaufort, Morehead City, Harkers Island, Atlantic City, and Emerald Isle. This was going to be a short 48-hour trip because it was going to be our first time vacationing with the pups.
My husband is a travel nurse & I am a travel scrub tech. We have two fur babies that we love very much. We loaded them up in January 2025 for our first travel assignment and we haven't looked back!
During our first vacation with the pups, I realized that traveling with pets is HARD! I absolutely didn't realize how hard it would be. It takes constant researching, checking websites, and even calling places. Traditionally I am not that type of traveler... however I LOVE traveling with people who are (Thank you Johnathan, Kesler, Bri, and Bethany!) Now I'm learning!!
When we got back from that first 48-hour vacation, I told my husband that I am going to start blogging about our travel experiences. I want to share some of the nitty-gritty details that we went through trying to find places to stay, restaurants to visit, and things to explore. So here we are... hope it helps!
