Malaysian Borneo(Sarawak) A Look Back

JOHN SABOE
About this episode
In this episode a short update on apps that will most likely be used to confirm COVID tests and vaccines before you board your flight in the future. As well as a look back at one of the most underated destinations in my opinion in Southeast Asia, Malaysian Borneo. Kuching, Sarawak is a wonderful city to base yourself for some unique outdoor and wildlife adventures. Not necessarily a place for beach destinations, Sabah is better, it's convenient for a trip to Bako National Park and the Semmenggoh Nature Reserve for Orangu tan viewing. Hope you are safe and well! Keep dreaming and planning your adventures!
