Guys I don't know if it was because I was a child but this was one of the best family trips I ever had. We went to Kuala lampur and langkawi and I fricking loved it. Langkawi is sooo beautiful and personally I liked langkawi more than the city. I felt super safe probably since I was with my family and we were in a huge group with our own friends. We had a great guide who was super nice to us and very hospitable throughout the whole trip. Unfortunately we couldn't get to eat authentic malaysian food since we had people who preferred indian food in our group. I totally recommend island hopping if you're an adventurous gal like me. This trip was long back but I can never forget it😭🫶🏾. Please carry a lot of sunscreen and water tho 😁.

Recently arrived in KL and so far so good. Stayed at 3 kinds of services apartments and they were great! Many food options here both western and eastern, and quite cheap. Transportation via metro/train/grab cab is very affordable. Will be here for the next few months and would love to meet up!

I went for one night by myself to KL on a visa run from bali, I arrived in my hotel late at night to drop off my stuff then went to walk around the city centre and felt very safe walking at night especially to see other people out and about! my hotel was nice and really cheap (comparing to american prices) the next day I had fun exploring the mall and went to a butterfly museum experience place which was beautiful!

I have been to KL one too many times and I feel really safe even walking at night specially going to and coming from Petronas Tower and Bukit Bintang. Accommodation is affordable for less than 10USD , there’s a decent bed in lady dormitory in a condo apartment 7 mins from Petronas tower at (Mercu Summer Suites), hot shower , laundry, soft bed , duvet and clean surroundings. The transportation is so good you will appreciate it that you can go all the way to HatYai by train. I went to Batu Cave, one of the famous attraction in KL as it shows Hindus and Hinduism rituals and many more and it is reachable by train. Once you go down from the train , one minute walk and you are there. That’s how convenient seeing good places in KL. If you want to go to Genting Highland which is one of the cold place in KL , you ride a bus from Berjaya Time Square or you can check Easybook.com it’s easy. Malaysian people are very helpful. They will direct you properly. Don’t forget to go to Petalling Jaya Street if you want to buy affordable souvenirs and if you want to hoard chocolates. Petronas Tower is so majestic and KL tower that I kept on coming back to KL when I want to unwind just to see it.

Kuala Lumpur is safe overall. But like most cities, caution is required. Don't walk down empty streets at night. Don't openly flex cash or expensive jewelry on the streets. Don't dress overly provocatively and not expect stares.

I fell in love with solo travel after a trip to Amsterdam – the feeling was so amazing it became addictive! Music, travel and discovering new cultures fuel my inspiration. Always up for meeting fellow explorers and making memories together
