Malaysia

MALAYSIA

Malaysia was the first country I ever visited in Asia.

I had heard mixed things about backpacking in Malaysia, so didn’t have the highest of expectations. However, Malaysia blew me away.

Malaysia is full of rich culture, incredible nature and some of the best food on the planet. It’s become one of my favourite countries in Asia and I’ve now been there three times.

Below, you’ll find all my current guides for Malaysia. This includes itinerary ideas, backpacking guides and destination guides.

I’m already planning my next trip to Malaysia and can’t wait to return.

QUICK TIPS FOR MALAYSIA

The capital city of Malaysia is Kuala Lumpur.

The best time of year to visit Malaysia depends on where you want to visit. Kuala Lumpur is a year round destination. Check out my Malaysia backpacking guide.

The currency in Malaysia is Malaysian Ringgit. Always carry cash as many places still don’t accept card.
