Tips

Armed with these tips and tricks, you can plan the next trip, pack away and have a fab time exploring the world with your little one!

You're a travelling musician hungry for new experiences, a new scene and a fresh audience. So why choose Malaysia? Well on a short visit last year, I was fortunate to discover that there is indeed a healthy music scene in Kuala Lumpur.

In an age where buying a plane ticket can be done on a whim with a click of a mouse, it is tempting to just buy tickets during those travel fairs and online sales.

Let's face it - packing for trips can be stressful. That is why many put it off until the very last minute only to regret it later.

After a string of unsavoury experiences, I’ve learned that public transportation really comes with its warnings.

When you’re travelling for work, easy access to the Internet is essential. How do you do that in Kuala Lumpur?

Yes, language barrier can be daunting, but sometimes it’s better to be lost in translation than sitting at home admiring at your friend’s travel photos on Facebook.

When it comes to creature comforts, I would list toiletries as essential companions wherever I go.

No Miss Nice or Miss Trusting when you are in a foreign land alone. If you have been known to be an overly trusting person, stop that. If you are a helpless naive, maybe solo travel isn’t for you.

Nothing gets my pulse racing faster than the sound of a train whistle. I may not know where the train is headed, but knowing that it’s nearby and about to leave soon for wherever gets me excited.

When you think about it, it makes sense people are far more afraid of being in an aircraft than say, driving a car.

There is a reason why travellers never want to stop travelling. It’s the same reason why college kids go on Gap Years and why frustrated working adults quit their jobs and spend all their savings on flight tickets.
