Arca Dasar Laut Legendary Sea Sculptures of Langkawi

Randomly coming across public art being created always makes my heart skip a beat, especially when no one is around but the artists.

January 22, 2023 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Kota Kuala Kedah Fort Museum

Despite its significant historic background, Muzium Kota Kuala Kedah (Kuala Kedah Fort Museum) may be one of the most under promoted sightseeing venues in Kedah.

Review: Paya Beach SPA & Dive Resort, Tioman Island

November 30, 2022 by Vanessa Workman Leave a Comment

Paya Beach Spa & Dive Resort

Having visited Tioman Island a few times now, my recent stay at Paya Beach Spa and Dive Resort has convinced me that staying in a Tioman Island village community has many perks.
