About Malaysia
To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia – a bubbling, bustling melting-pot of races and religions where Malays, Indians, Chinese and many other ethnic groups live together in peace and harmony. Our multiculturalism has made Malaysia a gastronomical paradise and home to hundreds of colourful festivals. It’s no wonder that we love celebrating and socialising. As a people, Malaysians are very relaxed, warm and friendly.

Geographically, Malaysia is almost as diverse as its culture. 11 states and 2 federal territories (Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya) form Peninsular Malaysia which is separated by the South China Sea from East Malaysia which includes the 2 states (Sabah and Sarawak on the island of Borneo) and a third federal territory, the island of Labuan.

One of Malaysia’s key attractions is its extreme contrasts which further add to this theme of ‘diversity’. Towering skyscrapers look down upon wooden houses built on stilts while five-star hotels sit just metres away from ancient reefs.

Rugged mountains reach dramatically for the sky while their rainforest-clad slopes sweep down to floodplains teeming with forest life. Cool highland hideaways roll down to warm, sandy beaches and rich, humid mangroves.

For the perfect holiday full of surprises, the time is now, the place is Malaysia.

4 Best Coastal Locations For 2014

Who haven’t dreamt of living by the sea and taking a morning bath in the refreshing water? This will really be a dream come true for many among us. Even if we cannot experience it everyday there are some interesting destinations that can help us have a glimpse of this lifestyle during our holidays. In this article we will be having a look at 4 interesting coastal destinations and hope that you will like them.

Barcelona

Just this name alone evoke excitement and pleasure. Indeed Barcelona is a city of nightlife and exquisite cuisine without forgetting its long sandy beach, Barceloneta beach. There you will have the chance to rent chairs, umbrella or even a bicycle in order to explore the various landscapes of the Catalonia city. A place that is definitely recommended to visit if you are looking for some great holidays near the sea.

Nice

If you are more into fine cuisine and wine then France is definitely a country that you will need to consider. And Nice will be the city you need to visit. With its 35 beaches stretched along the coast line, you will have a long time choosing the best spot for your stay. In case you are a bit bothered by a lot of people on the public beach, you will also have the opportunity to have access to private beaches for a small fee.

Rio De Janeiro

You would expect to see this city pop up in any list about the best costal destination. Obviously with beaches stretching 40km from Copacabana to Havaianas, you will have plenty of places to find your sweet spot.

Definitely recommended if you are looking for a samba atmosphere.

Sweden’s Cinderella City

By Hanna Snarberg

Everyone’s heard of Stockholm, but what about Gothenburg?

If you’re planning a Scandinavian escape this summer, think about hitting Sweden’s idyllic West Coast — my hometown stomping grounds — instead.

After spending several years abroad, I suddenly realized how much this area has to offer: a rocky archipelago, picturesque fishing villages, beautiful wild nature, and — last but certainly not least — fantastic seafood. That’s why I’ll be spending the summer getting back to my roots.

It’s a bit awkward being a tourist in a town I used to know like the back of my hand, but the fact that I don’t know what to expect is exactly what makes this trip so exciting.

If you’re planning your first trip to Gothenburg this summer, here are five places you just have to see:

Cruise through Gothenburg’s canals in a Paddan boat. (Photograph by Hanna Snarberg)

1. Kungsportsplatsen
This common city-center meeting point is close to Avenyn, the street where everything happens in Gothenburg. Jump on a Paddan boat to get an overview of the city and its history, spiced up with some silly, but, funny “Gothenburg humor.” (One warning: watch out for the incredibly low bridges on the canals. At one point you have to leave your seat and sit down on the floor to pass under what locals call the “Cheese Slicer.”) Also: Don’t miss the Poseidon statue, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the Saluhallen food market, and great shopping at nearby Kungsgatan (look for Swedish jeans brands Cheap Monday, Acne, and Nudie).

2. Magasinsgatan
Don’t miss this laid-back area, where you can buy trendy vintage clothes at Miss Ragtime, furniture and textiles at Norrgavel, or just sit down and enjoy a coffee while watching people stroll by. The picturesque Haga Old Town is another must-see. And you simply have to pay a visit to Café Husaren and try their enormous cinnamon buns.

3. Kronhuset and Kronhusbodarna
You’ll find some of the oldest buildings in the city right behind Gustav Adolf Square. The main building, Kronhuset, dates back to 1654 and was once used as a military warehouse. Today it provides a venue for different musical events. You can also buy beautiful handicrafts in this area (stop by Mia Bäck’s pottery shop) and watch artisans at work.

4. Liseberg
Dedicate at least one day to this circa 1923 amusement park, voted one of the top 10 in the world by Forbes Magazine — especially if you are traveling with kids (but, really, who doesn’t like amusement parks?). The park boasts 37 rides, including the world-famous wooden roller coaster, Balder. Liseberg also plays host to a Christmas market (the biggest one in Scandinavia) in winter where you can see 5 million twinkling lights and real reindeer walking the grounds.

5. Fiskekörkan
Make sure to stop by the famous fish market by the Rosenlund Canal, to sample all imaginable seafood and wine. The market is open Tuesday-Friday from 10:00-18:00 and Saturdays from 10:00-15:00 (closed Sundays and Mondays). The circa 1874 building, nicknamed the “Fish Church” because of its resemblance to a place of worship, was designed by noted Swedish architect Victor von Gegerfelt, and is a sight to behold in itself.

Hanna Snarberg (a Swede) and her partner, Alex (a Ruskie), share their wanderlust on their travel blog, Sam and the Dunes (“Sam” is their lovable pooch).

Nowhere is Off-Limits—Choosing a Destination for Your Next Trip

Our world is a topsy-turvy place, with no end of unforeseen events sent to try us. War, internal strife, natural and man-made disasters arrive unbidden and deliver untold disruption and suffering. Headlines are typically so dramatic we often overlook some of the less obvious outcomes. Among these, the death of tourism is generally instantaneous, often wildly out of synch with reality, and historically hard to reverse.

But we’ve come a long way since the days where our local travel agent and the daily papers were our only sources of guidance on whether a place was “safe to visit.” Those sources, both unwilling to put their customers (or readers) in harm’s way, would generally take a conservative line; after all, it’s easy to suggest Hawaii as an alternative to Mexico, or Turkey as an option to Egypt.

But today’s travelers are much, much better informed, and can draw on a myriad of sources when making decisions about whether they should try a “risky” destination. Mexico is a good case in point: it doesn’t take much research to see that the majority of the violence has been restricted to certain border areas, well away from the key resort towns. Reaching out to friends on Facebook or other travelers on Tripadvisor et al you can quickly establish—first-hand, from people like you—that the sun is shining, hotel rates are attractive, and there’s no sign of trouble.

Mexico: usually plenty of tacos, but no narcos in sight.

Mexico: usually plenty of tacos, but no narcos in sight.

Greece is another good example of a formerly top-tier destination fallen on hard times. But now? The days of demonstrations are over, the country has settled down with a new government, and everyone is looking forward to a summer where every visitor will be welcomed with open arms. Not only is it “back to business,” but prices have fallen and travelers have more options within the reach of their budget than they would have found a few years ago.

In fact, tourism is so important to the Greek economy that politicians there are talking about a three percent jump in GDP driven by growing tourism numbers from their current levels of 16 million arrivals per year, to 20 million per year. The Greek National Tourism Organization wants you to visit, and they’ll be using Twitter, Facebook and every other means at their disposal to convince you their troubles are a distant memory.

Some troubled destinations present more complex challenges. Christchurch, New Zealand suffered two major earthquakes in 2011 and saw much of its hotel accommodation disappear overnight. It’s hard to recover from a shock of that nature, but tourism companies and savvy travelers quickly found alternative accommodation outside the centre of town or in neighboring cities; after all, this is New Zealand, and nothing is very far away. Walk around Christchurch today and you’ll be surrounded by tourists who have rejigged their itineraries to spend more time in Auckland, Wellington or Queenstown, but were not so put off by 2011’s quakes that they would miss this beautiful city.

Christchurch: after the quakes, still beautiful.

Japan is another destination that suffered a catastrophe which we, on the outside, saw as being “in Japan.” Inside the country, though, it was always understood to affect a region of about 50 miles around the Fukushima Power Plant, which, frankly, was never a big tourist draw anyway. But the spillover effect took hold and overseas visitors cancelled their trips to Tokyo and Kyoto, even though both are hundreds of miles away and in no danger from the earthquake, tsunami, or subsequent events at the power plant.

While 2011 was a terrible year for Japan tourism, the passage of time has been kind, and 2012 travelers are dusting off their Japan itineraries, apparently secure in the knowledge that lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place. Japan’s very nature—it’s part of Asia, but more unlike the rest of Asia than any other Asian country—means it’s not a country you can easily take off your list of “must-sees.”

Kyoto... a long, long way from Fukushima.

Kyoto… a long, long way from Fukushima.

I have one more destination to consider in this random rundown of “tourism-troubled” destinations: Colombia, where tourist numbers for the last 12 months are up 300% on 2006. Three hundred! The Government’s relentless war on FARC (the communist insurgents) has seen the civil war relegated to the inside pages of the newspapers, replaced by news of economic growth, football, and the evening activities of visiting Secret Service Agents. And we tourists have responded, lured by the beauty—and apparent safety—of Bogotá, Medellin, and Cartagena.

Nowadays, it seems, nowhere is off limits, no matter what the circumstances, no matter what the catastrophe. There always was some brave soul who wanted to travel in war zones, to see the hot lava as it spewed down the mountain-side, or watch the revolution unfold. Now that brave soul is being followed close at heel by you and me… and that’s a good thing, for all concerned.
