How do I fast travel to Velen?

Go to the overworld map, then go to the Velen map and you can fast travel then.

Likewise, can you fast travel from Skellige to Velen?

You can fast travel between Skellige, Velen, and Whiteorchard as desired but the loading times take extra long.

Beside above, how do I get from white orchard to Velen? Just Fast Travel back. Zoom out the map as far as it seems to go, then zoom it a little more and it opens to the world map, then click on White Orchard and a fast travel point and bam, you're back there.

Additionally, can you go back to velen from Novigrad?

Yes. Just go to a sign post and fast travel. Zoom out to the larger map and then click on Velen.

What level should I be in Velen?

Level 4

Can you swim to Skellige?

Is it possible to swim to Skellige from Novigrad (or vice versa) without fast travel? nope you can only travel between both areas via fast travel, not counting the first time via boat.

Can you get to Skellige without paying?

no. it is possible to get it back though.

Can you go to Skellige and come back?

You can. Go to the nearest signpost and R3 brings up the areas you can choose from. Or you can zoom all the way and it will pop you out of the map you're in.

Should I go to Skellige or Novigrad first?

As the others have already stated Novigrad does come first. IIRC you can't even go straight to Skellige since the quest requires you to find a ship that sails there and that ship is in Novigrad ;) Remember that if you get too far ahead of the recommended level for quests, you won't earn xp for completing them anymore.

Can I return after going to Skellige?

Yes you may. Levelling may prove to be a tad out of sync upon your return to Novigrad and your arrival on Skellige. Worth mentioning, you do have to progress through a chunk of the main plot arc on Skellige before the side quest The Last Wish, which is Yen's major personal arc.

Does going to Skellige fail any quests?

So feel free to head to Skellige the second it's available, the amount of side quests at your disposal will skyrocket and you won't lose the ability to do any of them. No random side quests or witcher contracts will fail, and they will be available even after completing the game.

Can you sail from Novigrad to Skellige?

There is one boat in Novigrad that takes you to Skellige for 1000 crowns, the captain is in the Golden Sturgeon. This can be done at any time once the Velen/Novigrad area is unlocked, but you have to fight some level 16 pirates. At any later time, fast travel is the only option.

Is there any reason to go back to white orchard?

The characters do go back to White Orchard at one point, but it's mostly for story purposes. If you really want to have fun there though, activate the Bovine Defense Force once you're leveled up. You can farm that and wreak havoc at the same time.
