Question Posted By: Replies:
Do you have a travel mascot you take pics with??? For Ukirsari...
Posted: Mon April 12, 2010 05:02 PM UTC
One of our great members Ukirsari in Indonesia is writing and article about the hobby of traveling and taking pics with a little mascot. I know we have a teddy bear, moose, and lots of others. If you know of any on VT, can you please provide the link here, so that she can have a look?!

Thanks a million,

G

Don't know if this fits, but my 12 year-old granddaughter and 4 friends made an elephant, Bela, together and put 5 hearts in it, then took it on their travels that summer. It really got around. Here is a link to a picture of her an Bela with our family in Paris: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/p/m/3eb8d8/

Johngayton was mucking about with his mascot, Steed, for a time. The poor thing has since been retired but some of the pix are still there:

ahhh shucks! I remember now, I deleted my travelogues pics of the two dears a few days ago.
and my teddy bear bought in Frankfurt, I have it with me all the time but must find my photo of it...
I walked the Camino de Santiago with it and I'd cry if it left me...

This is a cool thread, we don't often get a mention.
There's also Gnorman the traveling Gnome, he stayed with us for a while.

Backpackermoose has not been online for a long time, I think, but he has been on a round the world trip, which might be interesting.

Ilaarijs, the squirrel from Latvia, also has not been here for a while.

Who else?
Ah, Macca the penguin from Macquarie Island, who lives with member Tiabunna and appears on his pages.

I have one - Percy the Penguin.

I've been meaning to put an album on here with pics of him, but I just haven't yet. Maybe this will motivate me to do it sooner than later.

Oh yes Karlie, let Percy join the plush subculture here!

There have been two small but legendary furry VT meetings: the Weinheim meeting in 2008 involved Nobby and Luciano, Koala and myself. In 2009 I met Kimi_the_Bear and his mama in Göppingen. I have also been in the Karlsruhe Glühwein Meeting, and in May I will be seeing many of you in Krakow!!!

Here Ted from Frankfurt, Rafael and Lumlum, on their last trip.

They're getting ready for Italy now. Ted is always on my day-pack and Rafael and Lumlum have already jumped into my beach bag to be sure I take them along.
