Creator's Key Takeaways

It's Christmas 2025 and here are our travel highlights for the year.

We sailed into Antarctica. We didn't do an expedition cruise because we couldn't afford it.

The most beautiful sunset. I mean, there were some amazing sunsets in Maitius. They were good. But I think this sunset over the water town in Shanghai was particularly special, wasn't it?

It was one of the best days I think we've ever had on holiday ever. For me, it was absolutely phenomenal.
