For me, the perfect holiday destination has to be Malaysia! I have been there 5 times now and I just love it.
In fact, one day I plan to move there and buy a little house or flat on a beach somewhere.
Here are my top 5 reasons for holidaying in Malaysia.
1) Beaches.
Amazing beaches in Malaysia, you can get to them quite quickly from the capital (Kuala Lumpur).
2) Cost of living.
It's cheap! I can go out for a lovely curry for hardly anything! I remember how shocked I was when I came back to England and ordered a curry from my local Indian restaurant.
3) The local people.
The people are so friendly, this is one of the main reasons why I am always heading back to Malaysia and Penang, I love how chilled out the people are.
4) Central location.
From Kuala Lumpur I can get to most places really cheaply, its go great rail links and also the airport has some really cheap flights as Air Aisa are based there.
5) Diving.
There is probably some of the best dive spots in the world to be had at Malaysia! If you are interested in taking a dive or getting dive qualification, then you could do a lot worse than Malaysia.
So these are some of the reasons why I like Malaysia and its surrounding islands.
I would recommend it to somebody who is wanting to travel Asia, but who wants a not so 'in your face' place such as India or Cambodia - a good start to Asian life.
