I Traveled Solo AND With Family in 2025. Here's What I Learned

Join my as I reflect on my travel vlog how in 2025, I spent nearly a third of the year either on the road or at sea. From short overnight getaways and family-focused weekends to extended solo cruises and a transatlantic sailing, I give some travel advice on how to balance real life with the desire to travel. This video isn’t a highlight reel of everywhere I went. Instead, it’s a reflection on how I traveled, what stood out most, and what I learned after a year of constant movement. Some trips were energizing, some were exhausting, and a few moments surprised me in the best possible way. I’m sharing: 00:00 A year of constant travel 01:00 The different ways I traveled in 2025 02:48 Highlights that surprised me 03:27 Challenges & travel fatigue 04:03 What 2025 taught me about balance 04:43 Looking ahead to 2026 If you love travel but sometimes struggle with balance — between adventure, real life, and recovery — this one’s for you.
