Malaysia's Penang island is an expat and nomad haven, so we spent a month there to see if it lives up to the hype, and if it would make our list of places to return. ... See MoreSee Less
Malaysia, and in particular the island of Penang off the NW coast of peninsular Malaysia, often pops up as a popular nomad/expat destination, so it has been on our radar for quite some time.
D2 Detours is at Rain Vortex Jewel Changi Airport Singapore.
1 week ago
Singapore's Changi airport is consistently ranked as the #1 airport in the world, and this is one of the reasons: the Rain Vortex - a huge indoor waterfall surrounded by a very large shopping mall. We booked a late afternoon flight so we had time to explore. ... See MoreSee Less
D2 Detours is at SuperTree Grove @ Gardens by the Bay.

The Supertree Grove in Singapore is about as close to Pandora from Avatar as I've been. A pretty cool place, especially after dark when the light show starts. ... See MoreSee Less
If you get out into the hills or forests here on the island of Penang in Malaysia you'll usually find macaques roaming around. This one was contemplating life on the wall around the Arulmigu Balathandayuthapani Temple just outside Georgetown. ... See MoreSee Less
Our first 17 days in Malaysia didn't go quite as planned due to illness (our first in the year we've been fully nomadic!), but we made the most of it and confirmed Malaysia is a great place for budget-friendly travel. ... See MoreSee Less
We swapped hot, humid Vietnam for the hot and even higher humidity of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is just under a 3-hour flight from Da Nang, and we landed just as a massive thunderstorm was rolling in.

We had been to Vietnam on a tour in the past, so this time we wanted to learn what it was like to mainly just live in the country - one that's often mentioned as a top expat and nomad destination. ... See MoreSee Less

D2 Detours is at Petronas Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
2 months ago
We're in Kuala Lumpur, with our Airbnb just a 15 minute walk from the Petronas Twin Towers, so of course it's been a focus of my photos for the last few days. Here's a collection of my favourite shots. ... See MoreSee Less
Being full-time nomadic and travelling as much as we do it becomes almost a full-time job at some points planning our next moves. We holed ourselves up for much of the last two days to plan the rest of 2023, and have it pretty much figured out. We still have to book where we're actually staying in each location, but that's not as hard as figuring out the path and how long in each place. If anyone will be in these location at the same time send along a message and maybe we can meet up. 😄 ... See MoreSee Less
