Malaysia (I Love My Cuti Cuti & Jalan Jalan - I Love My Vacation & Walkabout in Various States of Peninsula Malaysia)


I Love To Travel & Do What I Love When Travelling, be it overseas or local ! Small Town Charm ! City Limelight ! Country Roads Take Me Home ! My Home Place ! Makan Makan (Small Eats) ! Jalan Jalan (Walkabout) & Cuti Cuti (Vacation) Malaysia ! Tidur Tidur (Sleeping & Hosteling) ! Each of these places I visited have something I love to see, eat & wander ! Wander Often Wonder Always ! Have fun in travelling ! This series of I Love signs taken in various places of Malaysia had my footprints when I took the pictures & look forward to see more of these I Love signs in my future visits to various touristy places in my home country, Malaysia ! 

I started to focus on my staycation, interstate visits & Cuti Cuti Malaysia in late 2016 after almost 10 years of consistent intermittent overseas travelling (covering Europe, Asia, Middle East & South East Asia) ! Pangkor Island, Lumut, Sitiawan & Melaka were the towns I visited then. In subsequent years through a combination of self drive & use of public transport ie inter city buses, KTM train & Air Asia, I was able to set foot on various towns & cities in various states (except Perlis & Kedah) of Peninsula & East Malaysia (a number of them were my 1st time & a down the memory lane kind of visits (a lapse of 10 to 30 years !). 

Whenever I spotted a landmark sign of a city, town or beach, (a feeling of joy as we had finally arrived at our destinations),  I would love to take a picture of these signs carrying the words of I love ... or just the names of the city or town in attractive colors or in bold lettering or in bi-lingual, I will post them onto my blog on the introductory page ! I hope to capture more of these landmark road signs (rain or shine) when I make my future visits to small towns or villages ..... so KM, happy travelling & exploring in order to fulfil your dreams of seeing a greater Malaysia closer to your home !
