Hello, I am Kwang Yow from Malaysia, it's a country located in the heart of the Southeast Asia region. I am currently working in my neighboring country Singapore involving in construction line.

In 2015, i and my wife quit our job and travel for 14 months from the northernmost of Europe to the Southernmost of Africa by overland. We love travel and have a lot of stories to share. We expect same from you too.

I am an easy going guy and love to share travel stories with others. Yes, i love travel, i like to immerse myself in the local culture; eat like a local, sleep like a local and do like a local. I dislike going to touristy areas and squeezing with other tourists, all trying to buy the same souvenir or capturing that one shot on their camera. Exploring places off the beaten track which will usually reveal hidden surprises.
