TRAVEL - MAP TRAVELODGE (TRAVEL BUNKER) REVIEW, CAMERON HIGHLANDS, MALAYSIA.

Address: Map Travelodge(TRAVEL BUNKER), Tanah Rata, 39000 Tanah Rata, Pahang, Malaysia.

We're slowly making our way down to Malaysia's capitol Kuala Lumpur, but decided to stop along our route from Penang at the famous Cameron Highlands. Named after the explorer Sir William Cameron, and known for being the largest hill-stationed area in Malaysia and famous for it's tea plantations we just couldn't miss this place out. Specially after our visit to Jim Thompson's house in Bangkok (for those that don't know, he's the man who saved the Thai silk business, and went missing in the Cameron Highlands)

We found a perfect, unique hostel in the center of town called Map Travelodge. By far one of the best hostels you could wish for in the Cameron Highlands. We were welcomed in with open arms and big smiley faces which mafe us feel right at home straight away.  The location is great, we are right by a few bars, 7 eleven, food court and only a 10 minute walk away from the famous Route 10 hike through the jungle. 

TOP THINGS TO DO IN PENANG, MALAYSIA.

If you’re heading to Malaysia on your trip around Asia, do not miss the stunning Penang Island. Known as the Pearl of the Orient, Penang has buckets of charm and has become a hit with backpackers to relax and take in this little gem of culture. Penang is the first stop of our trip through Malaysia. We didn’t research Penang before hand, just picked the name off our map and made our way - but I’m so glad we stumbled upon this quirky place! We originally were going to spend 2 nights here in Georgetown, but loved it so much we stayed another day and still didn’t get to do everything we wanted. But here’s a list of the BEST things to see and do in Georgetown, Penang.
