Malaysia

Malaysia is one of our favourite countries in Southeast Asia, the food is incredible, the transport is great and the people are friendly!

The country is home to the iconic Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, beautiful islands and a nature-filled rainforest.

Malaysia is filled with Malay, Chinese and Indian cultures (that’s why the food is so good). Whether you want to visit the main cities, take a trip to the Malaysian hills or explore the wildlife – Malaysia is the perfect destination to add to your bucket list.
