Shandos Cleaver

Shandos Cleaver is an Australian travel blogger and author behind Travelnuity, a platform dedicated to dog-friendly travel. Launched in 2015, the site narrowed its focus in late 2017 to provide comprehensive resources and inspiration for pet owners traveling with their dogs. Her miniature dachshund, Schnitzel, accompanies her on all journeys, serving as her primary travel partner. Together, Cleaver and Schnitzel have explored over 36 countries across three continents, including extensive journeys through Australia, the United States, and Europe. Their travels include a notable six-month campervan tour across Australia, and their documented experiences provide practical advice for navigating various travel scenarios with a dog. In July 2024, Cleaver released her first book, "Off the Leash in Australia," a comprehensive dog-friendly travel guide from Hardie Grant Explore. The guide details over 50 Australian destinations, offering tips on activities and accommodations for dog owners. Based in Sydney, Australia, Cleaver personally crafts all content for Travelnuity, drawing on her direct experiences. She has been a member of the Australian Society of Travel Writers (ASTW) since May 2023, and has served on its board since November 2024. Her work aims to equip dog owners globally with the resources for pet-inclusive adventures.
