From Kibble to Cabo: Dogs Are the New Travel Influencers

Once upon a time, planning a vacation meant either hiring a sitter or dealing with the guilt-laden eyes of your dog as you zipped up your suitcase. But not anymore. In 2025, if your travel plans don’t include your dog, you might just be doing it wrong.

Dog-friendly travel is having its main character moment—and not just in a “dogs are allowed on the patio” kind of way. We’re talking luxe pet suites, curated canine menus, dog yoga in national parks, and even pet concierges (yes, that’s a real job title).

Take Bark & Board Inns, a boutique hotel chain that recently added in-room “Pupflix & Chill” packages. We're talking dog beds the size of a loveseat, organic peanut butter room service, and a dedicated dog channel featuring squirrels in slow motion. You? You’re eating takeout on the floor next to them. And you’re fine with it.

Or check out Pawsport Adventures, a new travel site where you can filter destinations by leash laws, off-leash beaches, dog-friendly breweries, and pup-friendly hiking trails. It even rates airports based on dog relief zones (spoiler: Denver crushes it, JFK… not so much).

Millennials and Gen Z are leading this movement, refusing to choose between their wanderlust and their woof. From road trips to remote workcations, dogs are no longer baggage—they're the reason we travel.

So whether your four-legged co-pilot prefers mountain trails or urban cafes, know this: your next trip doesn’t need a kennel. Just a pup, a plan, and probably a lint roller.

Happy tails. And if you love to travel, make sure you subscribe to our weekly free travel newsletter called Espresso Boarding.

Holograms & Hamstrings: The Future of Fitness Is Weirdly Awesome

So, imagine this: you roll out of bed, still processing a dream about your high school math teacher doing CrossFit, and your mirror lights up. Not to judge your bedhead—but to train you.

Welcome to 2025 fitness, where your coach isn’t yelling from a gym floor but from a sleek little screen or even a floating hologram who knows exactly how much sleep you got (yeah, that 4.5 hours isn’t fooling anyone).

This isn’t just your average YouTube workout video either. Thanks to biometric tracking, AI trainers now build personalized sessions based on how you actually feel that day. Tired? You'll get gentle mobility flows. Feeling like a beast? Here comes a HIIT set with music that weirdly knows your Spotify Wrapped.

The Vibe? Smart, Social, and So Much Less Toxic
Fitness culture has had a glow-up. Gone are the days of “go hard or go home.” Today, it’s more like “go hard if you slept well and ate something green—otherwise, take a walk and stretch it out.” And honestly? That energy is exactly what we need.

There’s even a rise in AI-generated workout buddies. They don’t judge, they wear coordinated outfits, and they always remember your name. It’s like having gym friends, minus the awkward locker room small talk.

Our Prediction? You’ll Stick With This One
Because it's not just about the burn anymore. It's about your energy, your recovery, and your real life. This trend is giving us smarter workouts, happier bodies, and the chance to finally enjoy fitness without forcing it. And if a glowy hologram named Blaze wants to high-five us for drinking enough water? We’re here for it.

See you on the mat—virtually, of course.

We hate inflation

Prices are forecasted to rise through 2025 and so now is a good time to lock in that pup training class that you have been considering. We are big fans of Doggie Dan’s style of positive-reinforcement rather than punishment. The best part is that his initial sessions are free.

The fib is B. The German word "fernweh" translates to "far sickness," describing an intense desire to travel.
