Travel Journal : My 30 Days South Korea Trip

 

When I was planning for a long trip to South Korea, there were only a few resources detailing what can be done within a month-long stay. Unlike other countries like Japan or places in Europe, there is a wealth of information on where to backpack in those countries.

Probably the main reason is that South Korea is relatively small, and you can travel around the entire country in just one day. (But of course, we don't want that to be our itinerary.)

So, I thought of sharing what I did during my month-long stay in South Korea. This isn’t a perfect route, but it is very doable. There were stops that I could have planned better or places that I will be recommending even though I didn't visit them. So hold on tight. Here we go.

 

Top Things To Do When Visiting Penang, Malaysia

 

When visiting Malaysia,  it is a no brainer to explore Kuala Lumpur which is the country’s capital. But Malaysia is more that just KL. There are several amazing side trips that you can do when you are already in KL. 

One of the famous destinations that you can easily reach by bus, car or even a plane ride is Penang! 

 We are so lucky that this trip was included during my last visit in Malaysia. This is my second time to be in Penang Island, and I am not complaining.

 

If you love Malaysian food, then Penang is a must visit. It isn’t called as The Food Capital of Malaysia for nothing. Just the idea of indulging amazing and flavorful local Malaysian dishes is worth the visit.  

Top Places To Visit When In Kuala Lumpur

If there is another city in Southeast Asia that I consider as my second home, I can say that I will probably go to Kuala Lumpur. 

Writing this blog, I must say that I can be very biased because of my love for this city. I love "almost" everything about it. I say almost, because at times I can't really stand the heat..but there's always air conditioning (I lived in Dubai for 10 years, so Malaysian heat is nothing).

I have been to Kuala Lumpur numerous times. That before we all go restricted to travel (you know when the big C happened), I always find myself booking a weekend trip to KL and meet friends over kaya toasts and Kopi and at times go shopping. Glad that Philippine Airlines have a daily direct flight from Manila to KL. 

 In a way I can say that I am very much familiar with the capital of Malaysia.  I have been doing so many local stuff that I haven’t really explored KL as a tourist. 

 

During my recent famtrip with Philippine Airlines, I got to explored Kuala Lumpur as a tourist and I was so happy to see KL in this light. 

 

So if you are going on a trip to Malaysia and have a few days in KL, here are some of the things I recommend visiting:
