    Hi folks, you may have noticed that I've changed the name to Rambling Irishman. Everything for you should work as normal 😊

    Hello, there!
    How was the process of the dogs on each border? They ask you for dog documents of the country you are leaving?
    I explain my doubt: When I travel by airplane, they ask for documents of the country you are leaving. For example, my dog is Brazilian, and he has Brazilian documentation, if I travel from Serbia to Greece, they will ask for documentation of Serbia - VET- health certification of Serbia and not Brazil. Thank you for your time.

      When on ferrys I had to show my dogs passports. When driving across borders from country to country I wasn't asked at all, not once. I hope this info helps

      @@TheRamblingIrishman Yes, it helps a lot. Between 2018 and 2019 I traveled by airplane and bus to Eastern Europe, which was not comfortable for my dog.
      By plane a lot of documentation is required, besides it is more expensive. By bus, very stressful, the drivers do not know about the rules of their own company.
      I always asked in the office at the bus station, and they said "It's ok, you can travel with a dog", but one time I was on the bus, and the driver said, " I do not accept a dog on my bus".
      He wanted to put my dog in the luggage rack with the suitcases, it was summer in North Macedonia, incredibly hot, I held the bag and said no, and he got angry.
      After much argument, he stopped fighting because I proved to him that I had gone to his company's office and they had authorized it and my dog was up to date with the documentation. This situation is very very stressful. 😓
      This time, I want to buy a car in Germany and travel with it around Eastern Europe. My dog is already 11 years old and stressing him out the way is not healthy.
      Thank you so much for sharing this information. ❤

    I absolutely loved your original travel series Steve. You wore your heart on your sleeve, and that was quite endearing.
    As it progressed, there was definite impression of you finding your own path in life. Many people never get that chance, so it was a great watch. Unsurprisingly you had your ups and downs, and these are the events that make traveling so memorable.
    You're a great story teller, and I'm delighted that you've found a settled place in your life, well for now anyway!
    Keep doing what you do.
