Never having travelled alone internationally before, this Malaysia trip was the perfect confidence builder. Twelve nights felt generous, giving enough time in KL, Penang and Langkawi without rushing. Swimming at Tanjung Rhu on my last day was the calmest I have felt in years.
Moving from KL to Penang to Langkawi worked really well as a solo route, each place had a different vibe. Kilim Geoforest Park mangrove tour was a bit rushed with a big group but still enjoyable.
Penang stole my heart in a way I never expected, especially the street art and food stalls in Georgetown.
Great trip, though the Langkawi check-in dragged on close to two hours after a tiring flight.
Twelve nights felt generous, never rushed between the three stops, exactly what solo travel should be.
The sights held up, Petronas Towers, the street art, the eagles at Kilim, no complaints there. But moving from Penang to Langkawi ate a whole travel day with a lot of standing around at connections, and travelling alone there was no one to share the boredom with.
