Located in the exotic lands of Southeast Asia lies the beautiful country of Malaysia, a paradise filled with culture, history, and some of the most stunning islands you will ever see. Malaysia's hot temperatures and tropical climate has made it a hot spot for tourism, especially for those looking for a getaway an island vacation away from the overcrowded (and over priced) Caribbean locations so prominent in travel guides.
Many times when people think of Malaysia, they over look the amazing archipelago of islands known as Langkawi. But lately more and more tourists have been travelling to this lesser-known paradise, proving that in a world of overcrowded resorts, there are still tropical wonderlands just waiting to be found.
When you think of tropical islands, what comes to mind? Hawaii, Jamaica, the Florida Keys...what about Malaysia? No? Well, by the end of this, you will. Located in the Southeast Asian country of Malaysia is a collection of islands known as the Langkawi.
When your on vacation, you should always be ready for the little surprises a foreign country has to throw at you, which is why I rarely shocked by anything in my frequent travels. However, I was completely unprepared for the wonders I witnessed as I made my way through Langkawi, an island just off the northern coast of Malaysia.
One thing I have always been a little surprised about when it comes to travel guide reviews is how the Langkawi Islands have always gotten such a bad reputation. It's been cited as an uneventful, boring place with nothing to offer, which is not only unfair, but also very untrue.
