With the rising cases of COVID-19 infections across the globe, it can be hard to go traveling off to remote places on your bucket list. Luckily, this adorable pup’s Instagram followers need not worry about getting off of their couches at home, as he takes them on a breathtaking virtual tour of Switzerland.
Since 2014, Rasta, the fluffy Swiss Shepherd, and his fur mom, Sylvia Michel, have been traveling across Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland area to capture the sceneries there. They would go on daily hikes and spend hours swimming in the lakes or lounging in a field of blossoming flowers.
But what Sylvia particularly enjoys doing the most is taking photos of her pup against the beautiful Switzerland backdrop. She would often shoot a pic of him posing in front of the clear lakes and towering mountains. If Rasta is in hyper-mode, she will record him catching flying dandelions and rolling over in the fields.
Because of their many adventures together, Sylvia decided it would be an excellent idea to create an Instagram page to show off her pup’s shenanigans and Switzerland trips. That was when Rasta’s Instagram account was born, where Sylvia would often post her pup’s adorable photos.
Over the last couple of years, Rasta’s account grew to a whopping 304,000 followers. And now more than ever, people are craving to see more of Rasta’s daily hikes and outdoor adventures. Since most people are stuck at home, they cling to the adventurous pup to fill their days with more virtual tours of Rasta’s homeland.
Thankfully, where the hiking duo lives, going out is still an option, provided that social distancing measures are followed. That meant Rasta’s daily hiking schedule didn’t change much since the lockdown, much to the delight of his online fans. Watch Rasta here as he strolls through one of Switzerland’s iconic sites.
