My final stop in Malaysia was Melaka (Malacca), a small city an hour south of Kuala Lumpur, making it a perfect place to end my Malaysia itinerary. I had a couple of days to wander the town (read my self-guided walking tour here) and really just to relax and regroup before heading off for the … Continue reading My Favourite cafes in Melaka, Malaysia
I don't actually remember how I found out about this Husky cafe in Melaka, I think it might have been via social media, but I made a note of it in case I ever had the chance to visit Malaysia. The Huskitory is more than a Husky cafe though, it is home to a number … Continue reading The Huskitory, Melaka
I recently shared my self-guided walking tour around Georgetown, Penang and I wanted to share another that I did in Melaka. I visited Melaka towards the end of my time in Malaysia because I was leaving from Kuala Lumpur airport and Melaka is just an hour or so from KLIA. As I had already explored … Continue reading A Self-Guided Walking Tour Around Melaka
I love a good DIY walking tour. Ever since I put together this chocolate walking tour of Bruges for our Easter trip in 2018, I've realised it's such a great way to see a city and stretch the legs. With a self-guided walking tour you can take as long as you want, chop and change … Continue reading A Walk Around Georgetown, Penang
Aside from its major foodie credentials, Georgetown Penang is also famous for its art. It has become particularly famous over the last few years for its street art - no doubt thanks to Instagram - but I was excited to find far more of an art scene under the surface. Easily the most famous of … Continue reading Art in Penang, Malaysia
Penang is famous in Malaysia, perhaps even throughout the world, for its food scene. Whether you’re eating at a local restaurant or one of the many street food markets, you’re bound to find some seriously delicious fare. It’s probably unsurprising then that I decided to extend my stay in Penang to give myself more opportunities … Continue reading Penang: Eating & Drinking in the Food Capital of Malaysia
There seems to be a set route that backpackers do around Malaysia, usually starting in Kuala Lumpur then going to the Cameron Highlands before moving on to Penang and Langkawi. I bumped into so many people along the way that I had met during a previous leg of my journey! The Cameron Highlands is a … Continue reading A day in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
The astute among you will notice that I’ve missed quite a few stops from my travel itinerary if I’m launching straight into sharing my experiences in Malaysia. You might know that in fact I’ve spent about a month in between Singapore and Malaysia travelling around Australia and Indonesia, but I just feel like I want … Continue reading Kuala Lumpur: Why You Shouldn’t Overlook Malaysia’s Capital
Agh so many blog posts to write but no time because I'm busy exploring, relaxing, painting, meeting people, eating and more! I am getting so much out of this trip both in terms of experiences but also new relationships and creative ideas and so I've been making sure I have space for all of these … Continue reading Singapore Highlights Part 2
Can you believe I was in Singapore a MONTH ago and I've only just found it in myself to write this post about some of the highlights? I wrote a bit in this post about how the first month of being on the road has been at times overwhelming but I've gradually settled into my … Continue reading Singapore Highlights Part 1
