On The Next Route, every stop is a new story

One woman. One dog. On the road.

Hi, We're Shnai & Roly

We're so thrilled to have you join us.

I’ve come to realise that life doesn’t always need a grand plan, sometimes it just takes the courage to choose a different route.

For me, that meant leaving London behind, packing my car, and setting off across Europe with Roly, my cockapoo and co-pilot. 🐾

On The Next Route you’ll find: The Routes, from our UK and Europen road trip as it unfolds. Digital Nomad Routes, the reality of working from anywhere. Dog-Friendly Routes, guides to places that welcome both people and pets and Life’s New Routes, personal reflections, books, and stories on starting over.

This space is part travel guide, part diary and I hope to inspire others who are curious about what happens when you take a different path.
