Please explain me this phrasal verb: to end up.
I looked up it in a dictionary but the translation doesn’t go for the sentence : “It’s exciting to end up in different countries and different cities day after day”. I’m interested in the verb " end up". Is the meaning in this case "to finally find yourself"?

"Please explain this phrasal verb to me..." should be your question. If you say "please explain me...", it sounds a bit comical - as if you had no clue to your own existence.

Yes.  "To end up" referes to a final state.
"I traveled many place and I ended up living in Russia."
"I was hungry and ended up getting some McDonalds."
