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"?
