I have a special place in my heart for Malaysia. In recent months, I wrote about how I thought Malaysia is one of the most under-rated places to visit in SE Asia. Revisiting again for the first time since 2011 was a reminder of how much I enjoy traveling in this part of the world. After a stressful year in South Korea, in which I worked tirelessly all year long alternating between two full times jobs (teaching and running websites) Malaysia was the official transition point between going from being a teacher to a full time digital nomad. Moreover, it was the first International trip I was taking with my girlfriend Audrey and it marked the first occasion I traveled as a couple as opposed to being single. All of my previous backpacking trips I had done on my own. With all of these changes taking place at once, I certainly felt overwhelmed at times and frustrated with the challenges of working remotely; however, my time spent in Malaysia (for the bulk of March) was overall very pleasant. The following is the entire collection of videos I made with Audrey during our time in Malaysia covering Malacca (Melaka), Penang (George Town), Kuala Lumpur, accommodations, food and random stuff:
