START HERE

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here.

Rise & Shine Adventures is a living journal of small adventures, slow moments, and pet-friendly experiences — a place for people who want to enjoy more of life without needing a packed itinerary or a picture-perfect plan.

This site is about getting out of the house, bringing your dog along, and finding joy in everyday adventures — whether that’s a beach walk after work, a weekend road trip, or a quiet café that welcomes muddy paws.

If you love your pets, enjoy exploring at your own pace, and want ideas that feel doable and real — you’re in the right place.

What You’ll Find Here

I share ideas, reviews, and experiences from places I’ve visited with dogs — from cafés and walking trails to short trips and dog-friendly stays.

You’ll find:

• Honest reviews of pet-friendly places

• What worked, what didn’t, and what to know before you go

• Practical tips for bringing your dog along

No fluff — just real experiences from real outings.

Who This Site Is For

Rise & Shine Adventures is for:

• Pet lovers who want to include their dogs in more of life

• People who enjoy slow, meaningful adventures

• Those who value experience over chaos

• Anyone who wants gentle inspiration without hustle culture

It’s especially for people who are child-free, pet-focused, and building a life full of moments that matter.

Where to Start

If you’re new here, I recommend starting with:

• Sunday Start

• Recent adventure posts

• Pet-friendly reviews

• Travel diaries and recommendations

Or simply browse and see what catches your eye — this site is meant to be explored slowly.

Rise & Shine Adventures is a record of a life being lived — muddy shoes, happy dogs, imperfect plans and all.

If you’re looking for ideas, inspiration, or permission to enjoy the little things more fully… welcome.
