The Blog I Almost Never Started

Hi, I’m the Person Behind Sky and Paw
A flight attendant, two fluffy dogs, three countries, and one blog that took way too long to exist.

I almost didn’t write this post.

Not because I didn’t have anything to say. If anything, it’s the complete opposite. I’ve been mentally writing blog posts for years. On long layovers in quiet hotel rooms. On flights when everyone else was asleep. During road trips with my dogs when I had nothing to do but stare out the window and think.

The problem was never ideas. The problem was that I kept asking myself: who’s going to care?

So let me start there, and you can decide for yourself.

A Little About Me
I’ve worked in aviation for over twenty years. I started in the Middle East and eventually made my way to Canada, where I’ve been living and flying ever since. These days I work in private aviation, which means my schedule looks nothing like a regular person’s and everything about my life runs at a slightly different rhythm than most people around me.

I’m originally from South Korea. My family is spread between Canada, Germany, and Korea, which means I’m always on the move even when I’m not working. I teach piano on the side. I studied piano performance at university, then went on to complete a master’s degree in music therapy that I worked very hard for and use in ways I never expected.

And I have two dogs, Euro and Bonbon, who are honestly the reason this blog has a name.

Meet Euro and Bonbon
Euro is a Poochon. Bonbon is a Bichon Frisé. They are small, fluffy, a little ridiculous, and completely central to my life.

The “Sky” part of Sky and Paw is my aviation life. The “Paw” part is them.

Travelling with dogs, or even just building a life where dogs are always part of the plan, is so much more complicated than people expect. Finding pet-friendly places to stay, planning road trips around their needs, figuring out which products actually hold up on the road and which ones disappoint you halfway through a trip. I’ve learned a lot through trial and error, and I figured that experience was worth sharing.

What You Will Actually Find Here
This is not a blog where I tell you what to do.

I genuinely don’t think I’m qualified to tell anyone else how to live, travel, or pack their bag. What I can do is tell you what I’ve tried, what worked, what I wish I’d known earlier, and what I would do again without hesitation.

That looks like this in practice:
Travel tips that come from real experience. Not a list I put together after reading other lists. Things I figured out after years of airports, layovers, and long-haul flights.

Beauty and skincare products I’ve actually tested. Through long flights, humid cities, cold winters, and everything in between. Mostly Korean brands because that’s what I grew up with and genuinely love, but honestly anything that works makes the cut.

Honest reviews of places I’ve been. For work, for leisure, with my dogs, with my family. If I stayed there, I’ll tell you exactly what I thought.
Life between three countries. I’m always finding products, apps, shortcuts, and tips that belong to one country and are genuinely useful for people connected to another. I love sharing that kind of thing.

Why I Finally Started
Honestly? I kept putting it off.

Then I realized that the longer I waited, the more useful things I was already forgetting. Tips I figured out the hard way. Places I meant to review. Products I had recommended to friends so many times that I finally thought, I should just write this down somewhere.

So here we are.

If you’re a fellow flight attendant, a frequent traveller, or someone who just likes knowing there’s a real person behind the recommendations, I hope you find something useful here. If you love dogs, beauty products, or the particular kind of chaos that comes with living between multiple countries, even better.

I’m really glad you found your way here.

See you in the next post. 🐾✈
