A year in review · 2025
2025
I have never filled a year quite this full, with Minsk the place I kept returning to, and blooming May ran fastest of the twelve. I travelled 23 times over, opening with Bath session #1 🛁 in February and closing with Middle east ✈️ in December, I took to the air 26 times, at the farthest I stood 4,254 km out, in Muscat. I added 6 first-time countries, I met 124 new cities, Lisbon and Tehran among them. More often than not, Darya was there too. I opened the year at Metro Bemowo in Warsaw and signed it off in December at Зона Гостеприимства. A line I left on a check-in that year: “La mulți ani”

February ran on Minsk time. Day to day, it was espresso punctuation. Long hours in Бондаревский сквер — nine visits over the month — plus a stop at Ворота Минска. The suitcase never quite got put away: Bath session #1 🛁, then Unexpected winter Grodno 🚂, and more besides. Most days had Darya in them; the 8th alone stacked up 45 stops.

March belonged to the road — Saint Petersburg first, then Minsk, then Chișinău. The rhythm underneath: coffee runs and café mornings. There was time for walks past Monument to Alexander Nevsky (Памятник Александру Невскому) · Saint Petersburg, and for outdoor stretches at Сквер на Либкнехта · Minsk. Three separate departures — Grodno business 🚂, then Smolensk and Piter - the purchase 🚂, and more besides. Darya was there for most of it; 174 of the month's stops were brand-new ground.
