Summing ourselves up in a few lines isn\u2019t exactly easy, but here goes\u2026<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

We were two burned\u2011out former corporate types who met at the start of Covid. Boris was chasing a dream and had just bought a restaurant in central Bratislava. I was between jobs, fresh back from an ashram in India, wondering what came next. We\u2019d both traveled plenty, each in our own way \u2014 Boris the adventurer, with diving and extreme skiing; me more quietly, with yoga. Covid clipped our wings, but we didn\u2019t give up. During Covid, thanks to Boris, I discovered Slovakia\u2019s mountains, and the moment we could travel abroad again, we packed our bags.<\/p>\n\n

Our first big trip took us to Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, and Brazil \u2014 and that\u2019s where our love affair with South America began. It\u2019s still going\u2026<\/p>\n\n

And where does IBO, our fox terrier, fit into all this? I\u2019d always wanted a dog and had my heart set on a Hungarian Vizsla. Boris\u2019s family, on the other hand, has had fox terriers for generations. During Covid, we often looked after Dashi, his mom\u2019s dog, who hiked plenty of Slovak mountain trails with us. Little by little \u2014 helped by the home\u2011office way of life \u2014 I realized it was the perfect time for a dog of our own. And so IBO arrived (almost a Vizsla, but 100% foxie at heart). When I went to see the puppies, he climbed all over me and simply wouldn\u2019t stop \u2014 decision made\u2026 With his unmistakably \u201cfoxy\u201d personality, he completes us beautifully, and we wouldn\u2019t trade him for anything. He\u2019s our partner in life and on the road. \ud83d\udc3e<\/p>\n

He\u2019s been traveling with us almost everywhere since he was little. We only left him at home when we flew. The separation was always hard \u2014 endless questions about how he was, what he might be doing, whether he missed us\u2026 So we drew a line. Our travels took a clear turn: he\u2019d come with us everywhere, including on planes. And it turned out to be one of the best decisions \ud83d\ude42.<\/p>\n\n
