Top Travel Destinations In 2025 - Must Visit Locations

[@steven_dekok]

Yay, Romania! You know I was going to comment about it! 😍🥰 But I would move it from the 2-week category to the month category. Once you start diving deeper into the country and the culture, it just grows on you. We're headed back in May and again at Christmas.

Loved this video! I totally agree with many of the stops you stayed in. I also liked the way you presented budget travel verses the not so budget. Thank you!

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thanks for watching, Ann!

[@BethKelly-iw6gg]

When to Romania this past summer and loved every minute of it! We especially loved getting in to the countryside. While there we were able to celebrate our B&B owner's birthday with traditional dancing, dress and homemade liquor. So much fun!!! Lovely people

[@ChrisLocke]

Great work / thanks! An extra detail that would help me (and probably others) is a recommended time of year for destinations. Cheers! /Chris

[@BrianandCarrie]

Great suggestion!

[@CarrieBell-s2o]

Awesome video! Not quite ready to jump into full time travel - but looking for 2 - 3 weeks for a budget travel destination and maybe a not so budget thrown in :) Your videos are so informative, and the reviews are awesome. We are looking forward to going to these travel ideas in the future. I find the reviews of each destination about day trips and affordable accommodations excellent. Looking forward to your next year, the plans sound wonderful and the videos will be exciting to watch. Wishing you both happy and healthy travels!

[@paulsteinberg521]

Wishing you both a fantastic fun filled year. Be safe, and healthy

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you, Paul!

I was super excited when I saw this video. I was hoping you’d do this list. It’s fun to see your perspectives of the places especially as you travel longer and your experiences change. I absolutely love Austria but I agree, it’s not cheap. This video helps me plan for the year ahead. Turkey has to be in the list this year. Thanks for your video

[@BrianandCarrie]

We are happy to help you plan your travels for 2025! Thank you for watching, and happy new year!

[@RaulGiorgiSr]

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thanks for watching, Raul!

[@Xrusader]

I'm heading back to Guatemala this year and trying Nicaragua next year. I need my budget to recover after spending last year in Italy. I'm still 3 years away from being able to travel year round. As always, thank you for the fantastic information and insights! Safe travels.

We loved San Miguel de Allende!! Going back for 2 months this spring! Also plan on spending some time in Guanajuato while we're there. Thanks for the informative video!! 😊

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thank you for watching and commenting! Safe travels!

[@MikeNelson-r9e]

Thanks for this. I added a few places to my todo list based on yer reccs. You might consider South Africa for a future trip: very very budget friendly, GREAT wine, abso gorgeous.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We've heard amazing things about South Africa! We are planning to go in 2026!!

[@katie.r.vannuys]

Love this! Thanks

[@BrianandCarrie]

Glad you enjoyed it, Katie. Thank you for watching! 😊

[@ursdaniel]

Wwwey, we( ROMÂNIA 🇹🇩) made it into your top!!

[@BrianandCarrie]

We loved our time in Romania!

[@maximushung]

another great video. what are your favorite dishes in Thailand and Vietnam? I grew up in Chicago and mostly eat western food in Asia but I'm willing to try.

[@BrianandCarrie]

You can't go wrong with Pad Thai or a Banh Mi sandwich!

[@sightlabs6418]

Great video, Innsbruck is a nice town as well in Austria. Good jumping off point to northern Italy.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Thanks for the tip! We'll add Innsbruck to our list.

[@Larry_Kabberga]

Great video as always! ❤ You should find a way to leverage your years of travel experience for profit. There are many people-more than you might realize-who fall into the "unlimited budget" category you mentioned in the video, and they likely have deep pockets. They would be willing to pay for your services, not just for advice but also for organizing a complete travel experience, including flights, connections, accommodations, and excursions. It may require more work, but it could be very rewarding. Cheers 🥂

[@TitanUp-d3b]

As usual, a wonderfully informative video. Curious if time of year influences your destination choices and if visiting during peak or off peak seasons affects the old budget.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Yes, the time of year plays a big part in our destination choices! We always consider the cost differences of peak vs. off-season. We try to spend August and December at home, but we do still travel part of the busy season.

You need to visit Armenia, very friendly people, very affordable, amazing food, and lots of historical places to visit.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Armenia is on our list! 😀

[@beth6445]

P S to my prev msg. Adore Turkey, Viet Nam and Thailand. Great pics

[@fredkarenclark4551]

Not affordable any more, we are here in Antalya and it's no cheaper than staying home in Vancouver. Antalya is beautiful and we are loving it will be heading to Fetiya while we are here sure.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Sorry to hear that! We did notice costs had gone up over the 3 times that we visited!

[@ericstocki3521]

Tbilisi, Georgia and Armenia are one of the cheapest places in the world. Easy air access from Istanbul. Food delicious, safe, people are so friendly.

[@BrianandCarrie]

We will have to visit someday! Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@mustafaozlen3282]

Budapest is not in the list.

[@beth6445]

We were quite disappointed in San Miguel after so many years of hype. Stayed 3 days and could have left after 2. We travel a lot...long trips a few times a year. Asia, South America, Europe, North Africa. San Miguel very disappointing compared to so many other hyped and non-hyped places. Pass

[@BrianandCarrie]

That's the great thing about travel, Beth, there's something for everyone. Thank you for watching and adding your opinion. 😀

[@pg618]

Oaxaca is beautiful downtown you see that mountain in the background? Go up to the top and look down on the majority of the city and 80% of it is absolutely a dump especially on the opposite side of that mountain.

[@BrianandCarrie]

Doesn't every city have its good and bad areas? The views from the top of that hill are amazing!! Thank you for sharing your perspective.
