I'm looking for a new place to live during my retirement years. I have lived in the Midwest most of my life. There is so much to do around the Chicago area. Life is short and none of us know how much time we have left to live a wonderful, retired life. I have decided to embrace the new chapter of my life and share my travels. There are many roads to take in life. Hopefully this website helps others decide where to visit.

How I Got Started
Sadly my traveling buddy Addison has passed to the rainbow bridge. She is in doggy heaven with all my past pets and nephew Zeus. I miss having her greet me when I come home. She was always there for me with a cuddle on the couch.

My name is Addison, the traveling dog. My mom takes me on her travels to visit new cities. Our website will let you know all of the fun activities in each city. I have been having a great time with my mom. She takes me to dog parks and I get to meet new doggy friends. Sometimes I like the humans more. I'm getting older and those young puppies have so much energy.

Downtown Greenville Reedy Falls Park
Greenville is so beautiful with the Reedy river flowing through the downtown. There are so many areas with peaceful landscaped areas with benches and swings to sit. Rocking in one of the swings is a way to mediate and think about your day.
Experience A New Lifestyle
Weather is a determining factor to be able to spend more time outdoors.
Swamp Rabbit Trail Winding Through Downtown
Addison loves to walk next to the Reedy River on the Swamp Rabbit Trail.
Restaurants
Dog Friendly
Jones Osyster Company and Soby's are right near each other on Main/Court Street in downtown Greenville.
The Buttery Lobster Roll is one of my favorites. I recommend the homemade chips instead of the fries.
E-Bikes

E-Bikes are a great way to ride around and see Greenville. I was pleasantly surprised that you still get a workout. You need to continue pedaling the bike. It will then give you a slight push. I found it easier to get up the hills.

My Mom, likes me to pose in front of the statue to show the city is dog friendly. I like the stores that leave a bowl of free treats and water on the sidewalk. Mom only let's me take one treat. So the other doggies get one too.
