Lessons in my Malaysian trip

Posted on April 22, 2011 by firsttimetravel

I was set on not becoming my control-freak, time-conscious, organized self … Continue reading »

Years ago, after my return to the Philippines from a seven-month stay in Indonesia, I gifted myself with a Southeast Asian Travel Guide.
