When thinking about travelling in Southeast Asia, Malaysia is not necessarily the first country that comes to mind. But why not, actually? Similar to other countries in Asia, Malaysia is full of beautiful places worth exploring. From the bustling capital of Kuala Lumpur to quiet, secluded places full of nature. After spending several weeks in this country, we can’t help but feel it’s absolutely underrated and deserves more hype.

Well, what can we say? Malaysia is quite similar to the otherwise popular countries. Here you will find beautiful sandy beaches, crystal clear water and great spots for diving, snorkeling or other water sports. In addition, you will find untouched nature and can experience wildlife up close. Whether it is orangutans, pygmy elephants or the famous proboscis monkeys. And if all this is not enough, you will find a lot of history, culture and the typical city life in the interior of the country.
