The couple will also be celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary and they think the trip with Spud is a ‘really special way to do that’.
Lisa said: ‘It’s a lovely way to keep celebrating his life, and a lot of it is actually being funded by the sales of my book about him. So in a way, it’s like an anniversary gift from Spud.’
The whole journey is inspired by Lisa’s book A Year in Lockdown #BeLikeSpud, which featured pictures of Spud visiting various holiday destinations.
Lisa said her book also saw a boom in sales following Spud’s sad passing last year – and that people now take copies with them abroad.
She added: ‘I still have people send me stories about their children reading the book to their own hamsters.
‘I know one young boy is taking his copy to Portugal on a holiday to this year, so it’s like Spud is still travelling.
‘It’s been amazing to celebrate his life this last year with all of these trips. I’m not sure what I’ll do next – but there are still places he “visited” that I’d love to see.’
