Nice people, very helpful. Gets crowded sometimes. The weather is strange, it could be very hot while it's raining. Affordable, you can find anything in the malls. Best sushi I've had in my life. Would definitely go again

Heave on earth! All the amazing views you can dream of are there. Lovely mountains, beaches. Everything is calm and quiet. Total serenity. By far, best place I have ever visited. Only downside, there's no shopping. Mostly honeymooners and couples .

Vibrant city, super busy. Diverse Street food, diverse shopping places, and fun night vibe. Tried the Malaysian food as well as sea food. Lived tutti fruity and the Pavilion. Also did the foot scrub and massage and had an old lady do it. I felt so bad I requested to change the masseur

Okay, right, another thing, it would start with, this place was amazing. I felt it very diverse and beautiful. The people were humble and nice. I never really cared about how the other person, you know, will actually treat me or whatnot. But these people were pretty decent in terms of that. I judged the food mainly and how the country looks. So it was beautiful, green, and the food was good if you have a palate, an open palate if you have. And everything in general was good. And it was not that...

Very good surely visit next time too. Locals are very good and helpful plus they host you so well. Solo travelling for girls is safe and fun loved the overall experience. Must visit atleast once in lifetime.

It was fun and safe overall i has so much fun people were so nice but you have always to negotiate the prices as they give high prices for foreigner so if ther say 100 tell them no 50 is good, food is tasty as long as you love asian cuisine

This was the first foreign country I’ve ever visited, and I really enjoyed my time here. I think I’ll come back someday. Even though I traveled solo, I felt safe and comfortable. Maybe because it’s a neighboring country, but the food, accommodation, and especially the travel costs were affordable for me.

Malaysia was a beautiful and diverse experience, combining modern cities with rich culture and nature. I enjoyed the mix of traditions, delicious food, and the friendliness of the people but what I enjoyed the most was how all the different cultures and religions live together without a problem ❤️ Getting around was easy, and the country felt welcoming and well organized, making it a comfortable and memorable place to explore.

To be safe, please follow the necessary rules such as don’t bring cash, dont walk at the road path, be careful where you standing and with whom. Each time became careful if you bring handbags with you

Malaysia is very safe for women in general as long as u avoid the nightclubs. We are super diverse, have amazing nature and great cities. Definitely worth visiting and please never skip the Borneo part of Malaysia. Lurveee

I went out during the night, It was very safe because man here tend to keep a lot of distance with women. I took the métro subway at midnight it was very safe. There is police everywhere and women also.

This was second time here. I really want to like this country. But I find the interactions rude and racist. I’m not generalising but this is how I felt about most of my interactions. I felt the same way when I come here 12 years back and had completely forgotten about the experience until my visit this time around.

Generally safe. You can’t quite leave your things unattended safe, but you also won’t be getting robbed in day light safe. Malaysians are generally very welcoming and helpful. Of course wherever you are, you still have to be careful, but in Kuala Lumpur, you should be able to relax a little.

I think still need to take self precaution, and bring around pepper spray or any tool to defence ourselves. I had experienced at klcc park if we women go for a walk alone to get some air, there is always strange guy coming after you, its not like you can think of it as compliment but they are scary@pervert that I had to report to the police at the park.

About me
A 20-something lawyer turned writer. I lost my youth to depression, and now I am reclaiming my lost years by traveling solo. A self-proclaimed digital nomad. I love to travel in hoping to fall in love with places, its people, food and culture. I can be found at @speakingofshahida on Instagram where I share bits of my travel. ABOUT HOSTING I can host up to 3 girls at a time at my place but sadly I don’t live in the capital of Kuala Lumpur. I live in Kuala Terengganu which is a good base if you are going to Redang or Perhentian Island. I can show you around my city, sample some local food and cook you some traditional Malay dishes. I can host up to 3 girls at my place in Kuala Terengganu. Well it is not
