I’ve said this in a few of my other articles already, but Kuala Lumpur is definitely one of my favorite big cities in Southeast Asia. It’s got that proper big-city energy, a huge skyline, tons of things to do, but it’s still super affordable. I always think of it as a cheaper, more laid-back version…
Kuala Lumpur might be one of my favorite major cities in Southeast Asia. It’s a place I keep coming back to, either as a stopover or just because I genuinely enjoy the big city vibe. I love the skyline, the energy, the mix of cultures, the food scene, and of course, how affordable it is….
I’m sure you already know about Sepilok in Sandakan and the orangutan sanctuary, I probably don’t need to tell you about that. But what you might not know is that there’s more to do in Sepilok than just visiting the orangutans. The Rainforest Discovery Center is also located in Sepilok, just outside of Sandakan, and…
We road-tripped from Brisbane to Cairns last year, and of course, we had to make a stop in the iconic beach town. Honestly, it ended up being one of our favourite spots. With easy access to the Whitsundays and a bunch of solid caravan parks to choose from, it’s a great base whether you’re travelling…
If you ask literally anyone what to do in Airlie Beach, they’ll probably say “Sail the Whitsundays!” And yeah, fair. Sailing around those islands is the main event. But Airlie isn’t just a boat launch pad, and let’s be real, you can only spend so long bobbing around on a catamaran before you need dry…
I just wrapped up my two-week Borneo adventure, and now I’m trying to pull together all sorts of guides and reviews based on my experience there, mainly because when I was planning my trip, I felt like there wasn’t much actual good information out there. Blog posts and travel guides were pretty limited, so now…
I’m going to assume you’re in Borneo for the same reason I was: the wildlife. Seeing wild orangutans, proboscis monkeys, and pygmy elephants was at the very top of my list when I planned my trip to Borneo. The good news is, you can do all of that from here, Sandakan. The city was my…
Kota Kinabalu is the gateway to Borneo, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably flying into Kota Kinabalu too, at least that’s how my trip started. It was my first stop in Sabah, Borneo, and the beginning of my little adventure through the island. At the time, I had no idea what to expect,…
Getting from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan is one of those classic Borneo travel routes most people end up doing at some point, especially if you’re here for the orangutans. I did the same. I flew into Kota Kinabalu without realizing I could’ve flown straight into Sandakan (rookie mistake), and then had to make my way…
Airlie Beach isn’t just the gateway to the Whitsundays, it’s a destination in its own right, packed with dreamy views, waterfront stays, and enough accommodation styles to suit every kind of traveler. But where you stay can really change the type of vacation you have, Whether you’re car-free and want to be smack in the…
