MARDI Langkawi Agro Technology Park. Don’t those words just scream fruit farm? No? Well that is, in fact, the name of a fruit farm on Langkawi. It's also the name of a place where you can have your photo taken with a giant pineapple. Sounds fun, eh?
Tanjung Rhu Beach, Langkawi, is exactly the tropical scenery you need to distract yourself from the self-isolation blues.
A tip to check out Pantai Kok Beach lead to an incredible tour of the island, dusky leaf monkeys, crocodiles, donuts, and lighthouses. What more could you ask for in an afternoon?
Langkawi has it all, the white sand beaches, the lush, tropical jungles, the wide open roads, perfect for exploring, and even the waterfalls. If you’re in need of cooling down, skip the beaches (save those for suntanning later) and head straight to the Seven Wells waterfall.
Langkawi, lovely Langkawi… I couldn’t get enough of the beautiful views on this jungle-covered island, and so decided to check out one of the most popular activities, the SkyCab.
Langkawi didn't give off the best first impression, with her overly commercial tourist area, but there was so much more to this lovely island than just Cenang. Renting a scooter and exploring the beaches and night markets allowed Langkawi to redeem herself, and I soon found myself falling for her laid back charm.

I’m not going to lie, eating and roaming around looking at all the street art were my two, absolute favorite activities in George Town. That is not to say that there was nothing else to do though. Penang offered a wide range of activities, and I did manage to fit in three of the more popular ones (with the addition of the Blue Mansion which I have already written about). So if you find yourself looking for even more to do in George Town, consider checking out Batu Ferringhi Beach, the Clan Jetties along Weld Quay, and Penang Hill.

George Town, Penang has recently developed newfound charm amongst tourists due to its vibrant street art scene. In this post, I share some photos of a small fraction of the colorful murals to be found on the city streets.
I didn’t research George Town all that much before arriving. I knew it was an old colonial town with some recently developed charm in the travel spheres, and some famous street art, but that was all. As soon as I stepped foot onto the narrow streets filled with beautiful old buildings and quirky artwork, I had to know more. This was not typical Asia. Where was I?
If you are ever in George Town and looking for budget accommodation, be sure to check out the 80's Guesthouse. It is full of character, and will give you a glimpse at some of the colonial architecture that the city is so well known for.
