Brits call it “holidays” and North Americans call it “vacation.” Whatever the hell you call it – you probably love it and so does your body for its well-earnt rest, as does your soaring excitement levels (but I’m not so sure about your bank account). Some people like to kick back and relax on a [...]
Four Mouth-Watering Malaysian Meals You MUST eat in Penang
Being a self-proclaimed, intense ‘foodie,’ good gastronomy is always high on my agenda when I travel and a bad meal has been known to completely ruin my whole day. The more I eat and the more that I travel, the higher maintenance my palette becomes. Simultaneously, I feel the burning desire to find a destination [...]

Where To Get A Motorbike in Langkawi and Tea With a Tiger!
The official translation of Langkawi is “The Jewel of Kedah.” I find the built up area of Pantai Cenang can get extremely crowded, especially during the peak season (November – February) and so what’s the best way to get away from it all, to see a bit of a paradise island? It is without doubt [...]
How To Get The Best (and Swankiest) View Of The Petronas Towers
Kuala Lumpur is a city that will always remain close to my travel heart, because it was the very first destination of this life-changing, indefinite round-the-world journey that I am currently on.

Travel Photo Of The Week: Monkey Business in Malaysia
While visiting one of the beautiful 99 islands that Langkawi had to offer, I had to battle through a crowd of mischievous monkey’s. However, these two looking after each other’s flees instantly caught my eye and I just had to take a snap. Too cute. I am by no means a photography expert, I am [...]
Jet Ski Adventure In Malaysia With Seeman Watersports
Whilst taking a speedboat tour of the paradise that is Langkawi, I genuinely felt that something was missing.
