From Rat Race to Road Trip: Overlanding With Four Dogs!
I am thrilled to share Christine Karren of Fly By Night Press’s five-star review of Dogs ‘n’ Dracula: A Road Trip Through Romania

Wrapped around the Mediterranean coast, from Provence to the Pyrenees, lies the French region of Languedoc.
Translated literally, the Languedoc – le langue d’oc – means ‘the language of yes’. In the southern French Occitan language, Oc was the word for ‘yes’, distinguishing it from the northern old French affirmative oil – prounounced ‘oh-ee’ – which eventually evolved into the modern French, oui.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We’re just evacuating ‘the brick’ – the farmhouse in southern France, where we enjoyed 3 months’ down time from travelling, after a hectic and disaster-prone year.
We started 2025 with our usual ski break in beautiful Monte Rosa – break being the operative word. The disasters started happening when our friend’s friend broke her leg – then our friend slipped on some ice and broke his elbow. Then, at the beginning of February, on my birthday, no less, Mark skied off a mountain and was airlifted to hospital. I thought it was a bit rich that he got the helicopter ride on MY birthday – and felt it was an extreme way of getting out of buying me a birthday dinner.
Have a very, very Merry Christmas everyone!
With the festive season upon us, I would like to send my most heartfelt thanks to all you lovely people for following our adventures, reading my blogs, buying or recommending my books, and for all your lovely comments, feedback, and reviews.
It really does mean the world to me.
In the meantime, have a happy and peaceful Christmas, and we hope Santa Paws brings your heart’s desire!
