Let me take you back in 2012 when I visited Malaysia for the first time upon the invitation of
Tourism Malaysia. As a first-timer my only expectation is to see
Kuala Lumpur, the
Petronas Tower to be exact. Little did I know I will experience a once in a lifetime community immersion when I suddenly decided to do
homestay at
Pelegong Homestay in
Negeri Sembilan. It was a wonderful experience.

In 2013, I went back to Malaysia upon the invitation again of Tourism Malaysia and
Air Asia Zest for a
familiarization tour in Sabah, Malaysia. We stayed in
Pacific Sutera Hotel, explored
Sapi and Manukan Islands, did
snorkeling and helmet diving in Borneo Reef World. One of the highlights of this trip was a cultural immersion at
Mari Mari Cultural Village in Sabah.

Visit Malaysia 2014 Gala Night. Although not in Malaysia but in one of the big hotels in Manila, we were treated to a spectacular cultural dance performances and sumptuous Malaysian cuisine.
