Hi, I’m Jan. I travel fast and intensely, whether I’m exploring the buzz of Tokyo in 3 days or road-tripping through mountains and beaches on a 3-week Thailand adventure. And no matter where I am, you’ll always find me in a comfortable hotel at night and eating the best food.
If that sounds like your kind of journey, hop on board, and let’s explore the world together!
I started this blog after realizing how tough it can be to find reliable, authentic travel info. You wouldn’t believe how many “travel bloggers” never even visit the places they write about! On Next Level of Travel, you can count on my full honesty and insights drawn from my firsthand experiences.
Here’s the deal: not every destination is all superlatives and unicorns. I’ll let you know if a tourist attraction isn’t worth your time, like skipping overrated stops in my 2-week Spain itinerary. And when I find something truly special—like the perfect mix of culture and nature in Cape Town—you can trust that it’s worth adding to your itinerary.
Hey travelers, Jan here. I write this blog because I want to share information that is actually useful for other travelers. Not just the generic, rainbows and unicorns stuff I see all over the internet, but truly well-researched and personally tested tips, tricks, and guides. And that takes a lot of time.
So, I want to ask you this: If you can recognize the value in this—dare I say better—content, and if the information I publish has helped you to travel better, please consider making your hotel reservations through my booking.com links. It costs you nothing extra (plus, I never recommend hotels I haven't or wouldn't have stayed at myself).
Think of it as giving a tip, just like you’d give to the fantastic hotel concierge, your quick and professional server, or the taxi driver that got you to your destination without taking weird detours. Thank you!
