Hello and Welcome!

This blog is about the experiences of two sisters as they travel the world on and off over several years. Our blog starts with our first major backpacking trip in 2010 to Southeast Asia. After catching the travel bug, we subsequently explored the world both individually and together. From seeing the colosseum in Rome, to trekking to Manchu Picchu in Peru, to rock climbing in Joshua Tree, we have allowed our experiences to help us grow in few ways other things can. Our goal for this blog is not only to capture our memories, but to share all of our experiences with the people we love! We hope you enjoy!

A Little Bit About the Cameron Highlands….

The Cameron Highlands is an area that is at a higher elevation than the rest of Malaysia. As a result, the temperature is a little cooler (a nice break from the heat and humidity of the rainforest!) and they are able to grow things well. Because of this, the Cameron Highlands is known for their strawberry and tea plantations. The area is quite different than the rest of Malaysia. It looks like a little alpine village, attracts a different tourist crowd (more middle-aged people and richer people – not only backpackers), and it even has a fancy golf course. We ended up being happy about the unexpected change of plans, as the Cameron Highlands was a good place to spend a couple relaxing days.
