Amsterdam in January is quieter, slower, and more honest.
No tulips, no peak-season crowds, no pressure to rush from one highlight to the next.
This episode breaks down why January is one of the best times to experience the city — from crowd-free museums and calm neighborhoods to cafés that become destinations on their own. We talk about what works, what doesn’t, what to skip, and how to adjust your expectations so the city gives you more instead of less.
🎧 If you like travel that feels real instead of staged, this one’s for you.

The new year often comes with the promise of rest. Slower days, quieter moments, fewer plans.
But for many people, stopping doesn’t bring calm — it brings noise.
In this episode, we talk about why anxiety can get louder when life slows down. Why movement can feel safer than stillness. And why rest isn’t always peaceful right away — especially after a year of constant motion.
This isn’t a guide to fixing yourself or forcing calm. It’s a quiet conversation about rhythm, overstimulation, and learning how to ease into rest without pressure.
🎧 A gentle way to start 2026.

Travel is usually framed as something purely positive — curious, enriching, open-minded by default. But the way we travel today has changed. Faster trips, constant documentation, and pressure to “see it all” have quietly reshaped our relationship with places and the people who live in them.
This episode explores what happens when cities become checklists, locals fade into the background, and discovery turns into extraction. It looks at how content culture, speed, and identity have blurred the line between experiencing a place and consuming it — often without intention, and without noticing the impact.
Rather than offering rules or guilt, the conversation invites reflection. What does responsible travel actually look like? What changes when we stop treating places as products and start seeing them as lived-in environments we temporarily step into?
🎧 Not about traveling less — but about traveling with awareness.

Why do we start planning the next trip before the current one is even over? This episode looks at the psychology behind anticipation, control, and emotional escape — and why our minds are often more comfortable in the future than in the present.
From dopamine-driven planning habits to end-of-year anxiety and identity tied to movement, this conversation unpacks how travel can quietly turn into a forward-only experience.
🎧 It’s not about stopping planning or romanticizing presence, but about understanding what we’re actually chasing when “what’s next” becomes louder than “what’s here.”

We all know the feeling. The second you land in a new country, something shifts. You walk differently. You talk differently. You say yes to things you would politely decline at home. You become braver, softer, more curious, maybe even a bit chaotic — and none of it feels out of character.
This episode explores why we unlock different versions of ourselves when we travel. From unexpected confidence and emotional openness to the freedom of being anonymous in a foreign city, we dive into the subtle ways culture shapes behaviour. Travel doesn’t just change what you see. It changes how you see yourself.
🎧 If you’ve ever wondered why you feel more alive, more honest, or simply more “you” abroad, this is the episode that finally puts it into words.

We’ve all done it — seen one photo, read one story, or watched one scene and decided that’s where I belong.
This episode unpacks the quiet psychology behind wanderlust and the strange way our minds idealize faraway places. From the seed of a travel fantasy to the myths shaped by media, it explores why imagination can feel more vivid than memory.
“Fernweh,” the longing for somewhere you’ve never been, becomes a kind of emotional geography — mapping not where we’ve gone, but what we’re missing.
This isn’t about perfect postcards or curated escapes. It’s about the moment the plane lands and the dream meets reality — and how that moment teaches us more about ourselves than any guidebook ever could.
🎧 If you’ve ever stared at a photo of another country and felt homesick for it, this one’s for you.

Not everyone feels alive at the airport. For some, the thought of traveling sparks anxiety instead of excitement — and that’s perfectly human.
In this TripplCast episode, we explore the psychology behind why certain people genuinely dislike traveling: from fear of the unknown and loss of control to the myth of “relaxing holidays” and the comfort of identity.
