Aside from being able to watch Nala enjoying her gondola ride, I LOVED the scene of her trying to climb onto the bunk and hearing Dean's soft voice encouraging her and giving her a 'paw up'. This, to me, encapsulates the beautiful relationship between Dean and Nala. Well done to you, Dean for adjusting your plans so that Leona could feel safe whilst enjoying her travels. You're a good man.

This is the first time I have seen a cat walk through a revolving door. It was also fun watching Nala watch the world from the train window. Then to see Nala in the gondola was the pièce de résistance!

Great to see the canals and Venice walkways. Good to see menacing cannot deter your positive nature and response ability. Bravo

As an American who has been living abroad for the past 25 years in Brazil, I'm very sorry you had to deal with what you did. It's an unfortunate situation and one I've been in very few times, thankfully. After seeing how some American tourists acted here, I quickly learned to assimilate and respect the culture and learn the language and blend in as much as possible. The vast majority of people I've met while traveling all over Brazil have been very warm and welcoming because I go out of my way to speak the language and show the utmost respect to everyone. It's unfortunate but understandable that Americans are looked down upon abroad for various reasons and I'm very sorry you were mistaken for one and that it almost resulted in a fight. While I imagine you can handle yourself just fine in a fight, it shows awesome restraint on your part that you avoided the situation. Kudos to you for doing so and again, I'm very sorry about what happened to you.

Yes…that man’s behavior was unsettling.

That's so sweet of you make sure Leona's trip is safe and fun! As a woman I've done a lot of solo traveling the past five years without any issues at all, but on my last trip had some very unpleasant things happen--violently mugged and left bruised and bleeding (they wanted my bag under my coat so they slammed me to the ground and ripped off my coat), groped while sleeping on an overnight train, and an act of voyeurism in a hostel which led to an ongoing criminal investigation. I'd been all over Asia, Central Asia, Central America, etc without any issues, but it was a trip to Europe that made me feel violated and scared. That was a couple years ago (just before the pandemic), and I haven't worked up the courage to solo travel again. I've found a boyfriend with similar interests, so we travel together now. I'll work up the courage to go on solo trips in the future, but for now it's so nice to feel safe and secure around him. And the companionship is a plus too!

As sorry as i am for what was done to you, it clearly shows, there is no safe and unsafe countries for travelling. I heard so many times, i wouldn't go there, it is not safe and i would say, it can happen right here in our city where you lived your whole life.... I have known quite a few girls who travelled through India by themselves and they all had basically good experiences and when some asshole couldn't stop staring or would even start touching, on a bus non the less, she would slap him across his stupid face and that would do it. That is something they aren't used to and it totally destroys their "concept". Well, you still never know of course, even i had some pretty scary and highly unpleasant encounters, alone on a bus in the middle of the night in New Delhi and the two guys all of a sudden try to extort money from me or they wouldn't drive me to the airport is one thing that came to mind, they really didn't look like the kind of guys you could talk or argue with so i flipped the cards and then it was me who became tough and aggressive...ended up getting out and they left, and i could even see the planes landing and so i wasn't too far from my destination. Anyway, you never know and bad things can happen anywhere. I am so glad you feel safe with your boyfriend and i'm sure you'll find your courage again! I don't even know what to say about such "men" who get off by hurting or intimidating girls and women or other men whom they perceive as weaker..... Enjoy your future travels and adventures, that's the important thing, to not let those weak, pathetic pieces of garbage win!

"This kayak is different, Dad ... my goodness ..." And that's it, Lake Garda goes on my bucket list. Walking at Nala's pace, I feel like I'm on the street with you two. What a trip ... And shout out to Leona!
