Malaysia, a tropical paradise nestled in Southeast Asia, is a vibrant fusion of cultures, shaped by its diverse population which includes natives, Chinese, Indians and a smattering of other groups. Renowned for its stunning contrasts, you'll find bustling, modern cities like Kuala Lumpur with its iconic, towering Petronas Twin Towers, co-existing harmoniously with tranquil villages standing on stilts over serene rivers and ancient rainforests. Malaysia also mesmerizes visitors with its pristine beaches, UNESCO-listed heritage sites such as George Town and Malacca, mouthwatering street food, and vast tea plantations in the Cameron Highlands. The country is an exciting maze of incredible biodiversity, colorful festivals, and warm hospitality, making it an unmissable Southeast Asian gem.

Malaysia

Situated off the northwest coast of Malaysia, Langkawi is an archipelago made up of 99 islands, offering an enchanting paradise set against a backdrop of lush rainforest and turquoise sea. Known as the Jewel of Kedah, Langkawi is famed for its exquisite natural beauty, from the mesmerizingly clear Andaman sea to the untouched jungle-clad hills. Visitors are charmed by captivating sights, including the stunning 125-metre high Sky Bridge, the mystical Lake of the Pregnant Maiden, and wildlife rich Kilim Geoforest Park. Additionally, with its duty-free status, Langkawi is also a haven for shoppers looking for a wide range of goods at unbeatable prices.


Langkawi

Langkawi is made for tourists. Although I hate these kinds of places, the island is amazing. It used to be a hippie-gathering place, so there's a lot of reggae and hippie vibe all over the island.

For women who are traveling and looking for a hostel, check out Bunga Hostel. The owner is a friend of mine, and she has created a hotel only for women. It's a creative place for solo female travelers.

Beautiful time in Langkawi 
- I was volunteering so can't comment on price of accommodation
- food was ok - local cuisine not compatible with vegetarians
- malay desserts are incredible - sweet and coconutty
- best beach is tanjung rhu
