Lately I had the chance to be one of the first guests in the recently opened St. Regis Red Sea Resort in the Saudi Red Sea Destination. It was an absolutely amazing trip staying in this luxury resort on a private island, the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia.

Instead of writing a hotel review blog post here is an insight of what it is like to do a social media campaign as a travel influencer. I put together this case study to show off what a successful influencer campaign looks like and for future clients to figure out what it is like to work with Traveltomtom.

What's it Really Like to Visit Every Country in the World

The more I travel to off the beaten path countries, the more I start questioning myself do I really want to visit every country in the world? Life is short and it is me who is always says do more of what makes you happy. Is visiting Niger, Burkina Faso and countries like that really what I want?

What is actually making me happy at the moment? Where do I want to travel? Do I wanna travel solo? What has more priority, my business or pleasure? Or is it just one of those travel dips that I am suffering from?

Weekly Adventures | Back To Holland, Exciting Projects And ITE Vietnam

After two months in Indonesia my visa was unfortunately running out and I had to leave the country. As part of my Trip of Wonders with the Indonesian Tourism Board I could choose a flight out of Indonesia to any given destination in the world. I made me think to finally start exploring Africa or may be Southeast Europe. When I thought about Europe, I though about my friends and family in Holland and then it was an easy decision!

Horror Trip From Sydney To Tel Aviv

Traveling is always fun, even when it is not funny! I try to keep on telling this to myself even in the worst moments when everything seems to fall apart. Leaving Sydney after I resided there for almost 5 months already made me a little sad. But when I landed in Hong Kong after a shit flight with Qantas and found a message request in my Facebook inbox I thought damn this day cant get any worse. But yeah I definitely could, when I received a message on the plan just before I was about to land in Israel, country number 78.

My First Travel Blogger Event: World Tourism Forum Istanbul

Just like a lot of travel bloggers I get the most crazy emails and request from random people and businesses from around the world suggesting that I am going to spend time and money in growing their new business or helping them becoming a successful travel blogger. Sorry but that is not the way it works, so I cant help you grow your Instagram account nor am I going to find you costumers for your travel agencies or will I promote your new app for free.

Life of a beginning travel blogger

It took a couple years but I finally started blogging. I said about a hundred times that I was about to start writing however there was always a reason why I did not start my own website. Last year I was pushed and asked from several sides to keep track of my travels and blog about it. One of my best mates, an IT specialist, set up a website in May 2015 and now I already call myself a full-time blogger. Where is this going?

About Traveltomtom

Born in The Netherlands a long time ago I grew up in the South of Holland, just a couple kilometers from the German border as well as the Belgium border. Considerably close to a two borders, you can say I have been spoon-fed with different cultures, different languages (Native, Dutch, German, French) and crossing borders.

 traveltomtom about

Nice to meet you! I am Tom an avid adventure traveler from The Netherlands continuously traveling the world since 2012, living a full time nomadic life and visited about 160 countries around the world. I got infected with the travel bug back in 2008 when I did my first trip around the world. Now my continuous trip is already more than 4,200 days. Yes, that is almost 12 years of exploring, not living abroad, but the real deal: constantly traveling!

My passion to inspire and help other travelers to travel the world turned into a lifestyle. When I started this travel blog I never though it would give me the freedom to travel the world, whenever and wherever. So what started as a passion ended up in a dream coming true...

I am also super grateful to have an amazing Traveltomtom community supporting me on social media. The Traveltomtom channels reach far over 2 million followers with  1.4 Million on TikTok and 650K on Instagram.

After visiting 100 countries by the end of 2019 I felt inspired to visit every country in the world. However, along the way I found out it is not my thing to turn traveling into a challenge. I travel because it is my passion. I travel to learn, to become a better person and to feel alive and live in the moment. For me life is about chasing happiness, not goals!

Traveltomtom has successfully hosted group trips in the past and they will be back in 2025! Interested to join me on one of my trips? Check out my Traveltomtom Group Trip page for one of the exciting upcoming group trips.

Traveling makes me a better person with ever day I am on the road. And to all adventurers: don't waste time, live now!
