Some places are so much more than a vacation. You wander through their streets, sit in their cafés, watch the sunset from a hidden spot — and suddenly the thought hits: I could live here. In this special season finale of TripplCast, we’re wrapping up summer 2025 by exploring 10 destinations that captured not just attention, but hearts. 

From Lisbon’s pastel-tiled neighborhoods and Seoul’s sleepless neon buzz, to the cozy canals of Copenhagen and the wide-open beauty of Cape Town, these are the cities and towns that turned summer trips into relocation daydreams. It’s not just about beaches and landmarks — it’s about vibes, daily rhythms, and that mysterious feeling of belonging in a place you’ve only just met. Whether you’re planning your next trip or secretly hunting for a new home abroad, this episode will take you through the destinations that made travelers pause and think.

From scorching heatwaves in Europe to the surprise rise of Albania’s beaches and Japan’s incredible rebound, Summer 2025 was a season full of contrasts. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the destinations everyone was flocking to, the slower travel trend that finally went mainstream, and the viral cultural moments — from Taylor Swift’s tour to the TikTok shaped trips — that shaped where and how people traveled.

We also explore the headaches of crowded airports, lost luggage, and climate disruptions, alongside the exciting shift toward night trains, sustainability, and smarter, AI-driven trip planning. Was this the summer when travel finally grew up — less frantic, more intentional?

🎧Join us as we unpack the stories, lessons, and future predictions from one of the busiest travel seasons in recent memory.

Some travel goodbyes are easy — a quick hug, a “safe travels,” and you’re on your way. But then there are the others. The ones that stick. The stranger who became a friend in just one night. The dog who walked you home every evening for a week. The café table you’ll never sit at again.

In our 35th episode, we share the goodbyes that left their mark on us — the places, people, and moments that quietly stitched themselves into our stories. From a broken-down train in Italy to an unexpected pen pal in Portugal, a mountain guide in Nepal to a street dog in Chiang Mai, these are the memories we didn’t plan for… and can’t forget.

🎧Because in travel, goodbyes aren’t just endings. They’re proof you found something worth missing.

In this Episode, we dive into the silent codes that shape life in public — the rules you won’t find in any travel guide, but that will absolutely define your experience of a place. From the meditative hush of Japanese train carriages to the unhurried rhythm of Parisian cafés, from the sacred order of a British queue to the joyful chaos of street food culture in Mexico, these unspoken norms tell you everything about how a society works.

This episode shares stories of standing too close, waiting for service that never comes, misreading “heated” conversations, and learning the choreography of sidewalks, markets, and metro stations. Along the way, it unpacks why noise is normal in some cities and taboo in others, how love looks different across cultures, and why breaking these rules isn’t just awkward — it’s a window into the heart of a place.

🎧Because travel isn’t just about seeing the sights. It’s about learning to share space, even with strangers, in a way that feels like you’ve been part of the rhythm all along.
