About Travelswithsun
Travelswithsun is not just a personal diary of travel experiences. It is a travel and food blog run by two Ipoh locals who like traveling and food hunting.
Because we are from Ipoh, we frequently travel to neighboring states to visit Cameron Highlands, Penang, Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur, and other places in Selangor.
We aim to help other travelers (including fellow Malaysians) make the most of their trips by sharing travel tips through our own experiences.
