Hey, we're Eoin and Aisling, a couple from Ireland who have packed their bags, waved goodbye to home and set off to travel the world in search of new adventures!
We started our journey by spending 3 months walking from the top to the bottom of Croatia and exploring a few of the boarding countries. Then at the start of January 2022 we hopped on a flight to South East Asia!
We hope to be in this part of the world for the next year, but who knows what might happen along the way, our plans are forever changing!
We tend to plan each day as it comes and can't wait to see what the world has in store for us!
Peace out x
Thank you for promoting my country Malaysia. Love from Kuala Lumpur.
We really have enjoyed our time in Malaysia so far and are excited to see more!
These videos are SO relaxing and at the same time informative. I think you're a great vlogger and improving in your content. Thanks for showcasing Langkawi. Keep up the good work! 👍
I am a fan now
Comments like these makes us so happy!! Thank you so much, we can definitely feel ourselves getting more comfortable infront of the camera and we are learning alot through the editing process so we glad it is paying off!!
FYI Langkawi is pronounced as Lung-car-we. You should visit the islands as well.
Guys you should go to a popular park called The Escape (in Penang)where you can do obstacle course and a water theme park side by side. You get to experience both with just one ticket and ride the longest water slide in the world.
We have since learnt this and we feel so bad for our pronunciation but thank you for keeping us right!!
And omg no way!! We would have loved to go and see that, that gives us a reason to go back haha

Aw we loved our time there so much, we are in KL now and are loving it. Malaysia is a great country with such lovely people
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video from d island of Langkawi. Amazing experience. Great start of d day from Mount Raya.
Did u guys visit d Tanjung Rhu beach, it's one of d loveliest beach on d island, a bit far away from d town n from d Cenang beach.
It was our pleasure to share this beautiful island
Unfortunately we did not, we learned about it after we left the island but we have heard it is gorgeous
@@EoinandAisling Yes, it's really beautiful. Perhaps, on your future visit. 🙂
Amazing video guys love the drone footage looks like you guys really work hard to make these videos, looks amazing.
Thank you so much! Eoin is some pilot when it comes to the drone I must say haha we appreciate it though 🙌🏻
Langkawi is huge and beautiful
So much bigger than we expected and so so beautiful
Enjoy langkawi. Nice video
Thank you ☺️
Cool & awesome vlog guys !! Glad ur enjoying langkawi & malaysia !! Explore malaysia to the max & stay safe guys...
Thank you so much! We are loving Malaysia and have already decided to stay for longer to see more places, such a cool place!
Awesome view.... enjoy the beauty of Langkawi
We will, thank you!!
Welcome to Malaysia guys. Just subbed to your channel. Hope that you guys have an awesome time in Malaysia.
Thank you so much, really appreciate it 🙌🏻
The pancake with corn is called apam balik. The thick pancake with meat is murtabak. Both are tasty. Would be nice if you can sit in a restaurant to eat murtabak and roti canai(paratha) so that you can dip them into more curry sauce.
Oh that sounds tasty, we are currently in KL maybe we will do a food tour some day trying some Malaysian food. What would you recommend us trying?
@@EoinandAisling
If you have the time (and budget), below are my pick in malaysia. But since you are in KL already, visiting the bird park or batu caves or thean hou temple or eco park will be a great start to learn about culture and nature
1. KL - chinatown(chinese food), pudu area(chinese food), jalan alor(international), little india(banana leaf rice and indian sweet cakes), kampung baru(wanjo nasi lemak)
2. Melaka/malacca - it is a small city. Basically food is found everywhere here from cendol, asam laksa, nyonya laksa, nyonya chicken pongteh, nyonya sweet cakes(many varieties like onde onde), chinese food like chicken rice ball, popiah, dim sum. Nyonya is straits chinese who adopted malay culture. Food is fusion between malay and chinese. I am not sure if the portuguese settlement has any special restaurant but i know on jonker street there maybe egg tarts, maybe portuguese tarts.
3. Ipoh town - the buildings are colonial and chinese old shops similar to penang island. Food is just as good like dim sum, curry dry noodles, nasi ganja / nasi kandar, chee cheong fun etc etc. After ipoh can dropby cameron highlands.
4. You do not need to go to borneo island to see orangutans. Just pay a visit to orangutan island in taiping historical town. People can volunteer at the island and get free lodging. Yeah they called it Kong island. Taiping is also famous for its huge botanical garden. Taiping zoo is also nice. Taiping and port weld were the first place the british built the first railway here.
5. Penang island. Malaysia's food mecca and pearl of the orient. Asia's longest funicular railway. One of the steepest in the world. One of the oldest in the world.
6. Islands on the east coast of peninsula worth a trip. Crystal clear waters.
Perhentian islands, redang island, rawa island, tioman island, lang tengah island, pulau kapas (cotton island).
7. Borneo island - sabah and sarawak.
Sarawak laksa, kolo mee, sinalau bakas bbq wild boar.
Islands in sabah worth considering(crystal clear waters):
1. Sapi island
2. Mermaid island
3. Turtle island
4. Bohey dulang
5. Manukan
6. Mamutik
7. Timba-timba
8. Sipadan
9. Mabul
10. Layang-layang atoll
11. Sibuan
12. Mataking
13. Pom-pom
These islands in sabah are similar to the philippines because there is a marine triangle running from the philippines until west papua indonesia which can match the great barrier reef of australia. No joke. Australia has 500 types of corals. This area has 600 according to findings.
8. Langkawi island - eagle island , legend of mahsuri, cable car, curved arched bridge view point, beautiful beaches. This is near thailand. Koh lipe is nearby.
@@keangwooichoo6138 woah this is amazing thank you so much for all of this!! Since being in Langkawi we went to George Town in Penang, we love love loved the food there it was incredible. From there we made our way to the Cameron Highlands and unfortunately I (Aisling wasnt feeling the best) so we decided to skip over Ipoh which we kind of regret but we are currently in KL and Malacca is next up on our route currently so this will definitely help with planning on time in KL and Malacca!! We would love to check out more the islands on the East Coast but we just haven't had the time this time around but that only gives us more reason to come back 🙌🏻
Yeah it is the longest single cable , cable car. The ones in vietnam and switzerland grindelwald are tri cable.
We didn't know this, thank you!
@@EoinandAisling vietnam has the world's longest over the sea(island hopping) tri cable.
@@keangwooichoo6138 we will have to keep this in mind when we get to Vietnam! Thank you haha
Amazing footage! Thanks for capturing our beautiful island. Wish you guys would come to the east side, to Perhentian Island or Kapas Island. Enjoy the rest of your adventure! Go raibh maith agat from a Malaysian in Cork!!
Thank you so so much! We would love to explore the east but we don't have enough time this time when visiting so hopefully in the future! Hope you are enjoying Ireland 🇮🇪
Langkawi Malaysia has stunning landscapes. So beautiful.
Such a beautiful island and what a great start to our Malaysia travels!!
my tears running watching u guys eating martabak. we love martabak too..
Haha we really enjoyed it if you couldn't tell haha
Wow!Langkawi Night Market looks owesome!Looks like bazaar ramadan...Soo many food!
All the markets we went to in Langkawi were amazing, so much food on offer it was great
welcome to malaysia...
Thank you so much 💕
Anda wajib ke Genting higtland...Genting higtland very2 beautiful
I'm sure it is! We have heard such good things
loved the energy. lets go!
Thank you!!
This does bring back memories when I was staying in Langkawi for 1 week back in Jan 2017. I was staying in that busy beach area Pantai Cenang. I went on top of Gunung Raya mountain at sunset, which was better. The Skycab/Sky Bridge experience was awesome. But there are other places to see and do in Langkawi like visiting the 3 waterfalls on the island (Seven Wells, Durian Perangi, Temurun), beaches (Pantai Kok, Pasir Tengkorak, Tanjung Rhu), Eagle Square in Kuah, Underwater World aquarium, Wildlife Park, Crocodile Adventureland, Tours (Island-Hopping, Mangrove, Sunset Cruise, Pulau Payar Marine Park) and even a day trip to Koh Lipe in Thailand from Telaga Harbour
Aw your trip sounds like it was so much fun! We couldn't believe how much there was to do on the island. The Eagle square was so so cool and we checked out a few of those areas. We really wanted to go to Koh Lipe but the weather just wasn't on our side but maybe in the future
@@EoinandAisling I went in January 2017 which was the drier months between Jan-Apr (every day sunshine and not a drop of rain). I've been to Koh Lipe twice - once as a day trip from Langkawi which operates between Dec-May (I think) with Bundhaya speedboat from Telaga Harbour spending 6 hours there and the second visit was 3 nights in Feb 2018 after staying in Krabi and Koh Phi Phi Don
Welcome to Malaysia,enjoying yours vlog very much,next state you should visit Penang Island where the hawker food is absolutely fantastic.
Thank you 🙌🏻 We actually went to Penang next and stayed in Georgetown, such a great place with some of the tastiest food 🤤
We have videos coming out soon on there too but we are having some problems with our cameras at the moment so hope to have them out ASAP!! Malaysia has been full of surprises but we have loved every minute here!! Can't wait to explore more of this great country!!
Welcome to Malaysia. Do enjoy your stay n journey here.
Thank you! 😃
Welcome to Malaysia, hope u have a great stay in Langkawi, do visit Tanjung Rhu beach as well and do the mangrove tour, you can get cheaper rates at the Tanjung Rhu beach
Thank you for this tip!! We loved our time in Langkawi
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you 🙌🏻
Welcome to Malaysia 💖🇲🇾
Thank you!!
@@EoinandAisling you’re welcome 😊
Ireland doesn't have cable cars? Glad you enjoyed the ride. In south east asia, vietnam and singapore have cable cars too. But penang has the longest funicular train in asia.
I don't think Ireland does, we have a rope bridge which is a fun to go visit and has some amazing views but unfortunately no cable cars. Is the train you are talking about at Penang Hill? We visited it when we were in George Town and loved it! We walked up the hill for sunset and got the train back down after we watched the city lights turn on and we loved every minute!
@@EoinandAisling the penang hill railway was suppose to be built first in asia but some administrative issue caused the funicular to be built in hong kong first which span about 1300 m
@@keangwooichoo6138 oh woah thats so interesting, we did think when we visited had it been reopened recently because I looked like there was an older train that used to operate but we weren't too sure
@@EoinandAisling need a lot of maintenance work as it breaks down quite often. Due to pandemic, parts from switzerland was tough to obtain for penang hill.
Malaysia is best life for retire and food heaven country 😊😊
I would have retired life here would be amazing
the best video I seem
Thank you so much this means alot to us 💛
Tq visit malaysia..
💕
I giggled everytime u tried to pronounce "Langkawi".. I liked the video... Enjoy your stay in Malaysia... People are nice and no need to worry if u got lost or need directions just ask a local to find your way 👍
Haha glad we could provide a good giggle, we have found people to be so friendly and helpful during put time in Malaysia. It is such a welcoming country
Langkawi is pronounced as Lung-car-we
I heard you say langkuai in your kl video, as I watch that first, and was confused. I was thinking where in Malaysia is Langkuai? Then I thought may be its in Thailand, though I never heard a town named that in Thailand too...
@@ashtriana1 we soon realised we were saying it very wrong. So moving forward we might have to start asking locals how to pronounce the places we are visiting because we are doing a very bad job of guessing haha
@@EoinandAisling just use the phonetics method went reading the words (you will get it right almost 90% of the time except may be with the way 'ng' (if its in words like mengantuk or menangis) or 'ny' sound (like nyonya and menyanyi)
Welcome to Malaysia
Thank you so much!!!
Enjoying Langkawi Island 👌💝👍🏻tqvm 🥰✅🥰
We will, thank you 🥰
Hi welcome..Hope you guys enjoy your stay in Malaysia..✌️✌️
Thank you! 😃
I'm from Bangladesh. Beautiful place
Hello from Malaysia 👋🏻 it really is 💛
Looks so cool 😃
It was brilliant!!
It's good you first experienced local night market in langkawi so if go to jalan alor(famous food street among tourist in kuala lumpur) you can really appreciate the great value food in less touristy area
Amazing thank you so much for this comment we are currently in KL and we were just wondering today where the good street food is so we will definitely check that out! Thank you!!
The markets in Langkawi were so so good too we loved them so much
@@EoinandAisling do make full use of the public transport (LRT, MRT, KTM, Monorail, Rapid buses) in KL! it's free for a month starting from 16th june
@@905678100 we are in KL at the moment and can't believe the transport that is available!! We will see so much more of the city too, do you know why the transport is free at the moment?
@@EoinandAisling it is to commemorate the new opening of MRT 2nd line (putrajaya line). currently is only for phase 1 of the MRT 2 line, the 2nd phase will be up by next jan 2023.
speaking of which, do also checkout Putrajaya, it's the capital of government administration. it's a very nice city.
For me, I'm not just happy reached to those points. But happy when I can get out of the car.
Yeah it's definitely not for everyone and it was rocky at times but the view at the top is well worth it! Close your eyes and hope for the best haha
Lol
I was at the night market a month ago. The chicken satay was really good.
Such good night markets in Langkawi!!! There's so much choice
Enjoy yr stay in malaysia and stay safe.
Thank you and we will try ☺️
welcome to langkawi
Thank you 💛
Great vlog guys..subscribed..😀
Appreciate it, thank you!!
Maybe you, I saw in Langkawi 2 weeks ago. 😁👍
We were in Langkawi the first week in June so maybe
@@EoinandAisling Happy visit Langkawi. 😁👍👍
Tell the world about this heaven city... even we are islamic country n have difference races ..but we living with peaceful, respect n loves other.. n welcoming touristt..tq sir to visit the truly asia country
We couldn't agree more, there is so much diversity within this country and everyone is so kind and nice to one another. It is a very nice place to be
suggest you 2 try a noodle dish Laksa Kedah or another name for it is Laksa Utara ... have fun
Oh we will have to give that a try! Thank you for the recommendation 🙌🏻
@@EoinandAisling 👍
welcome
Thank you!!
My home town...
A great home town
Awesome vlog bro. From where rent scooter? I m going in next month.
Aw thanks man! We actually got ours from our accommodation. Chill box, great accommodation and slightly out of the way so you definitely need a scooter to get around. I'm sure you can rent from the town areas as well we just got lucky that our accommodation had some
Hello there, the right pronouciation for Langkawi is LANGKAWEE, wee instead of why/wai.
We wish we knew this sooner we feel so bad for our poor pronoucation but thank you for keeping us right ☺️
Welcome 🤗
Thank you!!!
Welcome to Malaysia 🇲🇾. Have a great time. What camera you are using...the colour extremely bright👍
Aw thank you so much, our main camera is a fujifilm. We love it
@@EoinandAisling You're most welcome 🤝
gunung raya? there's a horror tv show that place was based on i think.
No way do you know the name of it?
How to travel from the city to Langkawi?we r planning to visit KL 😍
You should be able to get a bus the whole way to the port. We went from Kuala Perlis, just make sure to book your ferry tickets online before arriving. There might also be a train option but from KL it should be pretty straight forward. Enjoy your trip
Thank you so much for the respond will keep in mind🙏❤️
gd quality vid. I'm planning to do 2 days cable car and water theme park. do I need to rent a car?
It would probably be easier to get a car than to get taxis, we opted for a scooter just because it was cheaper again but they are both a little more out of the way so a car would make it alot easier
Hi couple… are there any conditions for international travellers to visit Langkawi??
Hey! At the moment the only thing you need is the mysejahtera app which you need to download to you phone and complete pre arrival forms before arriving to Malaysia but I don't think they are any others. We didn't have to do anything else when visiting 👍🏻
@@EoinandAisling thanks for the information. I am fully vaccinated and will be staying in KL for three days then I visit Langkawi, so no RT-PCR test is required after arrival in Langkawi right??
No we did not have to take any pcr tests, it was all very straightforward when visiting Langkawi I must say! Enjoy your trip
nice backpack, I like the color combo. whats the brand name?
It's a mountain warehouse bag, really good padding and protection. We bought it online and the colour was what pulled us in too! We were worried about it getting dirty but it's done well so far!
@@EoinandAisling nice, will have a look at it. it really looks nice. thank you and enjoy your stay here!
@@GajahMengaumTheBruce definitely do its a great backpack and mountain warehouse have some great stuff online, they do alot of offers throughout the year so keep an eye out for some good offers! And we are, thank you 🙌🏻
Lang-ka-wi.
We need to get much better at our pronunciation 🙈
@@EoinandAisling 😁😁😁😁
hhhhhhhhhh
Love from Putrajaya
hhhhhhhhhhhhh
i love u
Haha thank you!!
From your accent guys, I guess you're both Irish 😀
Haha is it that obvious 😅 yes we are both from Ireland. We hope our accents aren't too hard to understand we often worry if people can't understand us
@@EoinandAisling Haha I'm a Singaporean Malay but have been living in Lancashire, England for quite a while that's why I could recognise your accent. Don't worry, your Irish accent isn't very strong. Most malaysians can speak/understand english. Just remember to speak slowly when you speak to a local. Malaysians are friendly so don't be afraid to approach and ask them for help.
@@azizahabdullah1143 how are you liking England? Eoin studied in England for 3 years and loved it!! We have found Malaysian people to be so so friendly and helpful but we will definitely keep it in mind to speak slowly lol
@@EoinandAisling Well, I suppose it's ok in small doses. Even though I've lived here for a long time, I'm still not used to the cold and wet winters and living in the north, our summers are not as good as those enjoyed by southerners. I really miss the food, weather, culture and lifestyle in singapore which are very similar to malaysia. Anyway, hope you enjoy your holiday in malaysia, do visit singapore but I must warn you it's very expensive! Try to learn some malay words as you will endear yourselves to the locals, eg "terima kasih" (thank you), selamat pagi and selamat petang (good morning/afternoon).
@@azizahabdullah1143 it would be a hard adjustment for sure, the weather in England and Ireland are very very different to what you are used to, at least you can holiday in the south and get to enjoy the best of English summers. We are planning to visit Singapore in a few weeks and we are very excited but unfortunately because of the expense we won't be able to stay for very long but can't wait to experience it first hand!! Thank you so much for those few words, we really want to make a better effort and get better at learning languages on our travels, wishing you all the best ☺️
in which month did u visit?
It's pronounced as Lang-ka-wi. You said Lang-ku-wai
✌️😎✌️❤️🇲🇾
✌🏻
Its not lang kuwai..its lang ka we..😁😁
Aw we wish we were better at pronouncing haha we think we have got a little better now 😂😂
From that height the forest looks like broccoli
Haha it does a little bit haha
Not Lang-kwai. It is pronounced Lang-ka-wee
We are so bad at new places but we hope to get better, thank you!!
LANGKAWEE not Langkuwai
🙈
