Listen up 📣 If you’re planning a trip to Southeast Asia and Malaysia isn’t on your itinerary, then you’re missing out on a *gem* of a country! Keep reading to find out where to go 🫶🏻

Malaysia has everything you could ask for in a backpacking destination: gorge beaches, buzzing cities, stunning nature, picturesque islands, incredible food, an interesting history, a unique blend of cultures to learn about, lovely people, fun nightlife, good infrastructure AND it’s budget friendly. I never get why it’s not on every backpacker’s itinerary - but here’s your sign to add it to your bucket list and do something a little different to the usual southeast Asian backpacking trips

If was planning my first trip to Malaysia, this would be my itinerary: 

• Kuala Lumpur (minimum 2 days, if you have time spend more)
• Pulau Babi Besar (2-3 days)
• Pulau Kapas (2-3 days)
• Perhentian islands (3+ days)
• Cameron Highlands (2-3 days)
• Georgetown, Penang (3-4 days)
• Langkawi (3+ days)

If you have more time, travel to more of the islands on the east coast and stop at Ipoh en route from Cameron Highlands to Georgetown. I have travel guides on my blog for the islands with details on how to get there, what to do, and where to stay. Comment MALAYSIA and I’ll DM you links ❤️ 

If you have *less time*, KL, Cameron Highlands and Georgetown can be done in a week and will give you beaches, nature and city life 🫶🏻

If you’ve already travelled in Asia, but haven’t been to Malaysia, what’s stopped you so far? I need to know why it’s never on peoples hitlists! ❤️
