Reflections on Malaysia 2025

Malaysia sits at the crossroads of our SE Asia playground. After our wonderful visit last year we decided to return for a longer visit at our same Airbnb in Kuala Lumpur and a longer visit in the mid-sized town of Ipoh we discovered on our 2024 visit. After 45 days in the country in the spring, we will return in December 2025 for a visit to Penang and Langkawi islands in the north.

Below are pics from our accommodations. We also did a podcast about our time in Malaysia posted below.

Rich took a solo getaway and was here May 2-9, 2025 (twin room, $32 per night without breakfast, property website). In one week, he had four one hour foot reflexology massages...great food... met friendly people...enjoyed fresh strawberries...also had three two hour massages and did lots of walking!

We enjoy Cameron Highlands and have now stayed in three different accommodations. This one is the least expensive, centrally located for easy access to restaurants and the most simple, but—as a no-nonsense option—it might be the favorite, so far! [It’s kind of hard to beat the 5-star Cameron Highlands Resort, though.]
