On a mission to become my highest self and make the most of the little time on this earth

Don't be afraid to do nothing

The travel stereotype is to visit the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, Macchu Picchu and the statue of Liberty in under 48 hours without stops

But you don't have to live by that stereotype

Instead, just do as much as you want and you can handle

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

Take care of yourself

Because self-confidence makes everything on your trip easier

You feel better, make better decisions and have better experiences

The locals tell you everything

Me: sees locals with umbrellas and hats

Also me: wears tanktop and gets mild sunburn

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

Good morning!

Solo-traveling doesn't mean traveling alone

Its actually the opposite

I've met many more people while solo-traveling vs traveling with a friend

You never know what a conversation will lead to

A connection, a recommendation, a lesson, an experience, a mutual benefit or just a smile and increase in your mood and wellbeing

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

Talk to more people

Start more conversations

The best information and experiences are not gonna come from the internet

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

If you're traveling on a budget, hostels are your best bet

Cheap accomodation, low barrier to entry for meeting travelers and learning about your destination are much easier in a hostel

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

Learning compounds

In other words, it doesn't get easier the second time, it gets SOOOOO much easier the second time, and barely without any effort even the third time

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

@offpaths broo i was there 2 weeks ago. you xoming to bangkok?

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

@HenriBranding yeah right

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

The number one lesson from traveling is to just go.

Book the flight, and just go. You will discover what you need, what is most optimal, what is essential and what is unnecessary while you are actually moving.

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

Learning is what makes us human

It is so much fun to be able to tackle a challenge with much greater ease because you went through the struggle the first time

[Guus van Rees Vellinga @GuusvanRees]

Go out of your way, be creative and you will save a lot of money while traveling

Don't just go with what is easiest
