2025 travel year in review: destinations, highlights and upcoming plans
As 2025 comes to an end, I’ve been looking back at a year that felt intense, grounding, and deeply meaningful. While I didn’t travel as far as in previous years, the trips I took these last twelve months felt more intentional: a mix of slow travel close to home, family road trips, reunions with friends, and a few unforgettable adventures abroad. From Morocco and the Austrian Alps to London, Spain and the French Atlantic coast, this 2025 travel year in review reflects where I went, what I experienced, and how travel shaped my year — both on the road and at home. Below, you’ll find my 2025 travel recap by month, along with destinations visited, highlights, and links to the travel guides I published throughout the year.
A weekend in Frankfurt
I spent the weekend in Frankfurt and really loved this German city. Do you want to know what's beyond beer and sausages? Follow me to discover what to see, where to eat and stay!
Bonn & Köln
I was twice in Bonn and Cologne (Köln) this year, the first one in September and the second one in November. The former capital of the country until 1991, Bonn is a city in western Germany straddling the Rhine river. It’s known for the Beethoven House, its Münster (a church with a Romanesque cloister and Gothic elements), the old city hall and Poppelsdorf Palace. It also houses a UN Campus with 20 organizations ranging from climate change to volunteerism.
