Time for my annual travel blogging round-up, looking back at 2025. From memorable destinations to unexpected highlights and unforgettable moments, it was a year rich in discovery. I’m excited to revisit these travels once more through a selection of great photos.Travel is still the most intense mode of learning and there is still lots to learn so I hit the road to13 countries !
JANUARY – Peru
“The first trip of 2025 took me back to my second home, Peru. This time we explored the far north, with long days on the beaches around Máncora and a visit to Tumbes, where the coast felt warm, relaxed, and full of simple moments. Later we spent time in Lima, enjoying the capital with our family, visiting small playas, eating good food, and feeling the city’s lively rhythm. One of the highlights was eating at Gastón’s restaurant, where every dish was full of flavour fresh seafood, perfect spices, and that special Peruvian touch that makes the food unforgettable. We also escaped to the mountains near Marcahuasi, where the air was fresh and the views wide and peaceful. This Peru trip mixed beaches, family time, city life, amazing food, and high‑altitude landscapes, making it another beautiful chapter in a country that always feels like home.”



























FEBRUARY- THE BIG AFRICA ADVENTURE
Djibouti
“The start of my big Africa trip began in Djibouti, a small country with strong heat, dry landscapes, and a mix of cultures. I explored the busy streets of Djibouti City, visited colourful markets, and felt the mix of African and Arabic influences everywhere. Outside the city, the scenery changed into wide deserts, volcanic rocks, and salt lakes that looked almost unreal. Even in a short time, Djibouti set the tone for the whole journey: raw, different, and full of moments that made me excited for everything that was still ahead.”

Eritrea
“Eritrea felt calm and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I explored Asmara on my own, walking past old Italian buildings, quiet cafés, and streets that seemed frozen in time. Outside the city, the dry landscapes and small villages gave the country a peaceful, slow rhythm. I visited markets, historic spots, and everyday places where people were friendly and curious. Even travelling alone, I felt safe and relaxed, and the trip left me with small, gentle moments I won’t forget.”

Somaliland
“Somaliland gave us a brief but fascinating look into a place with strong traditions and proud history. We wandered through the lively streets of Hargeisa, visited colourful markets, and felt the warm welcome of the people everywhere we went. The landscapes were dry and wide, with small villages and open roads stretching into the distance. Even in a short time, Somaliland offered a mix of culture, stories, and simple moments that made the visit feel special and unique.”

Rwanda
“Rwanda was a fantastic trip with green hills, calm nature, and a strong sense of history. We explored Kigali with its modern streets and moving memorials, travelled through rolling landscapes, visited peaceful Lake Kivu with its quiet shores, and spent time in a beautiful rainforest park full of mist, tall trees, and rich birdlife. Along the way we stopped at small villages, viewpoints, markets, and cultural sights. Even without the famous wildlife experiences, the country offered warm encounters, beautiful places, and many moments that stayed with us long after leaving.”






Burundi
“Burundi welcomed us with energy, music, and warm smiles. We spent time with the famous drummers, their rhythms echoing across the hills, hiked to beautiful waterfalls, visited African Pygmy communities, and explored many small sights along the way. Even though the country is small, every day brought something new, making this trip full of simple but unforgettable moments.”









Cameroon
“My trip through Cameroon was a long and varied adventure, full of culture, nature, and real overland travel. I crossed lively cities, quiet villages, deep forests, and wide savannas, meeting warm people and discovering how different each region feels. A major highlight was visiting the impressive Ekom Nkam Waterfalls, surrounded by lush green landscapes. Another unforgettable part of the journey was tracking gorillas, watching these powerful yet gentle animals move through the forest. With something new happening every day, this trip felt raw, authentic, and truly one of my most memorable experiences in Africa.”

















Central African Republic
“My visit to the Central African Republic was short but unforgettable. I travelled overland from Cameroon straight into the deep rainforest of Dzanga‑Sangha National Park, one of the most special wildlife areas in all of Africa. The journey felt remote and adventurous, and once inside the park, the forest opened up to incredible momentselephants gathering at the bai, rare wildlife moving quietly through the trees, and a feeling of being far away from the rest of the world. Even with just one destination, this trip was powerful, pure, and truly one of the best nature experiences I’ve ever had.”







MARCH- Spain
A roadtrip through Andlucia. We have visited Ronda, Barbate, Tarifa, Gibraltar and Marbella
“In March we set off on a sunny roadtrip through Andalucía, a region full of charm and warm southern light. We wandered through the dramatic cliffs of Ronda, enjoyed the quiet beaches around Barbate, felt the wind and freedom of Tarifa, crossed into Gibraltar, and ended our days in stylish Marbella. A simple journey, but full of beautiful views, good food, and that relaxed Andalusian feeling.”










JULY- Canada
“Our trip through Canada was a true coast‑to‑coast adventure. We started in Montréal, a lively city full of culture, old streets, and great food. From there we travelled west to Vancouver, a place where mountains meet the ocean, and then crossed over to Vancouver Island with its quiet forests, small towns, and wild coastline. Later we took the bus to Calgary and continued into the Rocky Mountains, exploring Jasper and Banff with their blue lakes, tall peaks, and endless nature. We did so much and saw so many different landscapes that it felt like travelling through several countries in one unforgettable journey.”

















OCTOBER- Bhutan
“My trip through Bhutan felt calm and beautiful, green valleys, quiet temples, and kind people everywhere. The Jakar Festival was the highlight, full of color, music, and traditions that made this journey truly special.”


















NOVEMBER- South-India
I love India and this year i’ll went to somewhere serene, where palm trees sway, houseboats drift, and canals whisper stories of tranquility. It’s a place where water is the road, and spice lingers in the air.






















DECEMBER- Morocco
“For my second visit to Morocco, I returned to the deep south, Agadir as my home base, the ocean as my compass. From the magical streets of Taroudant to the surfy calm of Taghazout and the hidden beauty of Paradise Valley, it was the perfect finale to an unforgettable year of travel.”
