"A City of Contrasts and Diversity"

Blogging takes a lot of time and energy.

Astonishing, I know.  My plans to debrief and dissect every single destination that I traveled to this summer fell by the wayside once it was time to get back to real life.  I have since decided to talk about my most favorite place and more importantly, try to convince you to visit as well.  You're probably thinking, "if you are talking about your favorite place, why aren't you talking about Bali?"

I do remember having some sort of an epiphany  on a remote island in Lombok, but in terms of expectations versus reality, Kuala Lumpur was the real MVP.

I have created some genuine friendships through meeting folks abroad! ​
