I’m stuck in Baku with my dog / Local barbecue experience with village vodka

In this video, I share my unexpected layover adventure in Baku, Azerbaijan after my large dog was denied boarding on our connecting flight to Los Angeles. What started as a simple transit turned into a full day of navigating airport logistics, finding dog-friendly spaces, and dealing with airline challenges.

But there’s a silver lining—I took the opportunity to explore a bit of local Azerbaijani culture. Join me for some incredible footage of a traditional Baku barbecue, complete with grilled meats, local beer, and vodka shared with friendly local named Gasan.
