Also, as others have noted, following the main quest is a good idea. In Velen I mostly did side quests first, because I figured main quests at lvl 5 were actually the start of questlines leading you to higher level stuff... except they don't, not in Velen. All the main quest in Velen can be done at lvl 5-8. I was lvl 12 and definitely overleveled when I finished the main questline in the swamp, and one particular monster that should have been the "boss" of that quest was disappointingly easy...
