Malaysia offers so much diversity in both natural beauty and culture, yet is still one of the most underrated countries in Southeast Asia. It’s no way near as touristy as it’s super popular neighbour Thailand so it feels like more of an adventure.
Comprising both Peninsula Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo, this amazing country has it all! From ancient rainforests and unique wildlife, to tropical paradise islands and refreshing highlands carpeted with scenic tea plantations.
And not forgetting the charming historical towns and modern cosmopolitan cities that are home to a diverse melting pot of cultures and incredible food.
I’ve visited Malaysia several times and it’s a country that continues to surprise and delight me. It’s also one of the best value for money, easiest and safest places to travel.
So if you’re thinking of discovering Malaysia for yourself you’ll find plenty of tips and inspiration in my Malaysia travel blogs, guides and itineraries.
