I remember taking my first cultural anthropology class in university and thinking how I wanted to experience everything for myself rather than simply reading about cultures from a textbook. Even today, years later, the main reason I love to travel is still because I love learning about cultures from my own and interacting with locals in all the […]
Every Friday I’ll be sharing a photo from someplace in my travels. This week’s photo is of the Petronas Towers at night in Kuala Lumpur.

Situated half-way between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, the state Melaka (Malacca) makes a great day trip from either city. Traces of its Portuguese and Dutch history can still be found throughout the city, making it […]
