🇲🇾 Hello from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia! Join me as I travel around KL for a few days. Funny story...we weren't actually supposed to come to Malaysia at this time. But due to some delays in acquiring our visas for Vietnam, we had to find somewhere to chill until we received our visas. And thanks to the amazing Cebu Pacific Airlines, we decided on Kuala Lumpur.

I had no expectations at all before arriving to Malaysia...I mean we did book our flight literally the day before we arrived. And I'm not sure if that's what made me love this place even more, but for real...this place rocks.
My partner and I try our best to avoid more touristy places because it's just not our vibe, and I think because there is such a small number of Western foreigners visiting KL is what made us love it so much. The experience felt very authentic and not catered to tourists (except Batu Caves...lol).
We only spent 5 days in Malaysia and I wish we were able to stay longer to travel to different parts of the country. But one day in the future I can definitely see myself coming back.
Here are some of the places we visited in the city:
📍Independence Square
📍Central Market (food and shopping)
📍Chinatown Petaling Street Market
📍Sultan Abdul Samad Jamek Mosque
📍Batu Caves
📍National Mosque of Malaysia
📍Petronas Twin Towers
📍Kuala Lumpur KLCC Eco Park
🥐 My FAVORITE restaurants in Kuala Lumpur:
~ Raj Bhavan Veg. Restaurant (Indian food)
~ Tea Thambi Cafe (masala tea is so good)
Thank you for being here, your support means the world ❤️
