Highlights
Truly Asia
One fascinating aspect of Malaysia is its multiculturalism, where diverse ethnic groups live harmoniously. What's unique is the Orang Asli, indigenous peoples who've inhabited the peninsula for millennia, preserving their traditional lifestyles amidst modernization. These tribes possess invaluable knowledge of the rainforest's medicinal plants and survival techniques. Their resilience and cultural heritage contribute significantly to Malaysia's rich tapestry of diversity and identity.
The Custard Apple
Malaysia is home to one of the world's rarest and most bizarre fruits: the "buah nona" or "custard apple." What makes it truly unique is its peculiar method of propagation. Unlike most fruits, the buah nona's seeds are dispersed by a species of rhinoceros beetle. These beetles bury the seeds underground where they germinate, showcasing a fascinating example of co-evolution between plants and insects in Malaysian ecosystems.

Portugal Journeys
Lisbon
Where the old meets the new, it has an incredibly rich heritage whilst being one of the trendiest capitals in Europe. Lisbon is a very walkable city and offer spectacular hilltop views in Alfama or at St. George's Castle. One shouldn't miss a ride in the famous Tram 28, that passes some of the cities must-sees, or a long walk along the waterfront neighbourhood of Belém.
Alentejo
While to the north the pace is set by the green of the flatlands as far as the eye can see, further south the landscape combines with the sun, the heat, and a slower pace of life. The Alentejo, the idyllic heartland of Portugal, impresses with variety: deserted surf beaches and charming fishing villages on the western coastline and picturesque walled towns and forts on the boarder to Spain. An ideal place for those that wish to escape the tourist crowds and dive into the authentic Portugal.
Sintra
Where the old meets the new, it has an incredibly rich heritage whilst being one of the trendiest capitals in Europe.

Porto
Be it the millennium-old cathedral or the latest molecular gastropub, the city of Porto is really a living heritage, one that reinvents itself while maintaining its core character. A vibrant and fascinating city, world-famous for the production of Port wine, matured in vast cellars that stretch along the banks of Douro River. But Porto is more than that: rich culture, a buzzing nightlife, captivating tourist attractions and many more is waiting to be discovered.
Obidos
Discover this delightful town of white houses adorned with bougainvillea and honeysuckle, surrounded by its castle medieval walls. Considered as one of the most characterful places of central Portugal it is a symbol of a traditional Portuguese city. The surrounding region is equally fascinating, not far away from Lisbon and ideal for a day trip.
Douro Valley
A dream made of enchanted valleys, unscathed nature, and world heritage sites; in its steep vineyards is where Port Wine is produced. The Douro Valley in northern Portugal is the oldest wine-growing region in the world and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The cultivation of wine here dates back to the Roman's. With all these centuries-old vineyards running along the Douro River, the area is a must-visit for gourmets and vine-lovers and shouldn't be missed during a stay in Portugal.
