We are entering 2025 and this is the perfect time to reflect on our travel dreams and turn them into actionable resolutions.
If you’re like me, your bucket list keeps growing, but life often gets in the way. I had a great 2024, filled with trips. I visited new countries and cities and revisited some dear ones, but October brought me a knee luxation, which changed many things and postponed many plans.
Anyway, apart from focusing on health (it is always the most important!), for 2025 I want to to prioritize travel—whether it’s about exploring more, traveling better, or simply finding joy in the journey. And I am inviting you to do the same. To kickstart your inspiration, here are some travel resolutions for 2025 we can adopt together for an incredible year.

2. Prioritize Sustainable Travel
Why not make 2025 the year we focus on leaving a smaller footprint while exploring the world? Pack reusable items, choose eco-friendly accommodations, and support local businesses wherever we go. Traveling sustainably isn’t just good for the planet; it also deepens our appreciation for the places we visit.
3. Try Something Completely New
When was the last time you stepped out of your comfort zone? In 2025, one of the possible travel resolutions can be to try new experiences. It could be anything—learning to surf, hiking a trail you’ve always dreamed of, or even traveling solo for the first time. New adventures bring fresh perspectives and unforgettable memories.
I always like to try something new – not taking huge risks, of course, but even a local dish that is a bit out of my comfort zone or what I usually eat is something new.
But there are also new experiences (again, you do not have to think of life-endangering ones) you / we can try 🙂
4. Create a Realistic Travel Budget
