Travel Inspiration, the online travel magazine, wishes you and your family a joyful Christmas and New Year, good health, peace of mind, and inspiration for an even better 2026.
Dear readers, at the end of the year there is always a quiet yet important moment for each of us—time for reflection. In this article, we look back on the past months and on the new routes we want to take, because 2025 was truly a good year with clear priorities—yet at times that also meant investing more energy in some goals at the expense of others.
For me, Yordan Balabanov—the founder and editor of the magazine—2025 was a dynamic and productive year. It was defined by clearly set goals, both in terms of personal development (the successful completion of my PhD) and several key projects in a more serious B2B sphere—including building a consulting platform focused on digital transformation, establishing strong partnerships to launch an online academy with certified training, and laying the foundations of my publishing activity.
This naturally meant something else as well: I was able to devote less time to Travel Inspiration than I would have liked. Even so, we did not lose our passion for travel, nor our determination to create higher-quality content.
As early as January 2026, Issue 2 of Travel Inspiration is coming. This time, our focus will be even clearer: more personal stories, more meetings with travellers, and more content worth reading. In 2026, our goal is for Travel Inspiration to grow into a recognizable online travel magazine—with a richer structure, stronger formats, and a more active community.
We will work to expand the magazine with new sections that cover different travel styles—culture, nature, city stories, family itineraries, “slow travel,” as well as special thematic series. We will increase the number of contributors and interviews—our aim is for Travel Inspiration to be a platform for people who travel with curiosity and know how to tell the stories of hidden places and untold cultural narratives. We are planning new partnerships with tourism organizations, local initiatives, and brands—so we can develop joint ideas that bring real value to readers. In 2026, we will lay the groundwork for the Travel Inspiration Awards—annual distinctions across multiple categories.
New meetings, new routes, and new stories are ahead of us—and that is exactly the purpose of a magazine: to give you direction, perspective, and the desire to see the world more closely.
Thank you for being part of Travel Inspiration.
Happy Holidays—and see you on new journeys in 2026!
