is Ipoh worth visiting? 🇲🇾 getting sick, good food & arriving in Penang vlog | backpacking Malaysia

in episode 4 of the Malaysia travel vlogs, I leave the Cameron Highlands and head to the sleepy town of Ipoh to break up the journey to Penang. Ipoh is known for its food and coffee, and that's exactly what I did when I was there! in this vlog, I show you around the town, talk about the realities of being unwell whilst travelling, and travel to Penang. I show you my first impressions of Georgetown and eat lots of good food. enjoy!!

where are you from? i'm british chinese, grew up in london and currently living in lisbon!!
what did you study and where? i studied classics for 4 years at oxford university & did a term abroad in rome at sapienza university
why did you move to lisbon alone? this video should explain things a bit more: https://youtu.be/QE7mqBOj1qw
how can you afford to travel so much? i choose to spend my money on travel and experiences & hope to show on this channel that not only can travel be a lot cheaper than you think, but that it's perfectly possible to work full-time whilst travelling! if i can do it, so can you :)
