Day 6: Kuala Lumpur I arrived at the TBS station at around 8:30am, so it is really a 2hr30m bus ride but it stops at TBS so I still had to take a 50-min Uber ride. It cost me RM34.15 and that already includes my 17% employee discount since I was still working at Uber…

ONE WEEK IN MALAYSIA: MELAKA [2018.03.03-04]
Day 4: Melaka I arrived super early in Melaka and it was still dark since they have a pretty late sunrise and sunset here as compared to the Philippines. After waiting some time at the bus stop, I decided to go to a nearby restaurant that is actually open for 24 hours. I had nasi…
ONE WEEK IN MALAYSIA: PENANG CITY TOUR 2 [2018.03.01-02]
Day 2: Penang My second day was spent at Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang Hill. They’re both pretty far from the city, but closer to each other. Also, I woke up pretty late. Seriously, the bed at the Queen’s Hostel is so comfortable and curtains don’t really give you an idea what time it…
ONE WEEK IN MALAYSIA: PENANG CITY TOUR 1 [2018.02.27-28]
I was excited to go back to Malaysia – solo this time! This is my third time after Kota Kinabalu in 2014, and Kuala Lumpur in 2016. I spent 3 days in Penang, 2 days in Melaka, and 2 days in Kuala Lumpur. There wasn’t really a lot of preparations for this trip other than…
MALAYSIA & LAOS TRIP: VIENTIANE to KUALA LUMPUR [11.10-11.2016]
DAY 9: VIENTIANE / KUALA LUMPUR Another day, another flight. We left the hostel at around 6:30 AM because our car was super punctual. We left without even eating anything so we were super hungry during the entire flight. We waited a long time at Wattay Airport that I wish we took advantage of the…
MALAYSIA & LAOS TRIP: SEPANG, VIENTIANE [11.04-05.2016]
DAY 1: SEPANG This trip had a rough start. I had a really terrible morning. I didn’t have a lot of time before I had to leave the house. (FYI: I came from my shift at work.) It rained when I left the house – I didn’t bring an umbrella cause I only had a…
HOW I SURVIVED A 10-DAY TRIP WITH MY 6KG BACKPACK.
I saw this article on Buzzfeed Australia and thought I’d write about my experience, too. I remember Aly telling me the same thing after our Palawan trip – to share my tips on how to pack light. I’ve always traveled light. Usually for a 5-day trip (whether domestic or overseas), I would bring my floral…
