Solo travel

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.

Solo travel

I was lucky enough to be hosted by my Chinese friend in Puchong. We would get around by car. I wouldn't recommend walking because there are not many places to walk to. As a European it was quite a shocking thing. I love walking. If you want to have fun, there are organised activities to visit the jungle, or you could just chill at the numerous shopping malls around the city. Malaysian Ringgits are weak, so 40 euros were 200 MYR. Food is great. Please try Durian, it's a smelly fruit, either you...

Solo travel

I did loads of cool things in KL, some with my friend who lives there and some alone. I went to the royal selangor pewter museum and tour, the National textile museum, loads of local food markets: yum, Ilham gallery where I ran a tablet weaving workshop and we drove out to an indigenous village one day where people weave beautiful things with pandanas grass and I got to have a go. My friends weren’t into the textile stuff so I did that alone but I wouldn’t have got to the village without them...

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.

Very safe just avoid dark hidden places at night. Be careful with your belongings, I have heard some can try to steal wallets but never have happened to me and I have lived here more than 3 years. Of course after 1 am maybe careful in areas were not too many people
