Tara Na Sa Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

I was planning a quick escape outside the Metro when an invitation came to visit a neighboring country, Malaysia. What thrilled me most is joining well-known travel bloggers, Tourism Malaysia. For this trip, our first destination will be Kuala Lumpur via Zest Air’s maiden flight to Kuala Lumpur.

Fly to Kuala Lumpur via FlyZest at P688

Aside from the opportunity to take photographs, to visit a community, taste their local food the overall cultural experience made me more excited about the trip. It will be my first time in Malaysia. My first time to travel via Zest Air and to be part of its significant event, Airbus A320 aircraft maiden flight to Kuala Lumpur.

From the seven different state of Malaysia Perak, Kelantan, Kedah, Terengganu, Pahang and Negeri Sembilan, I wanted to explore the most distant state but I got a slot for Negeri Sembilan, just two hours ride from KL.

Sunday morning was spent preparing my itinerary, booking for accommodation and researching about Negeri Sembilan.

Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia

Did you know that Negeri Sembilan means nine states? It is located in the west of Peninsular Malaysia. Some reviews says, it’s quite small but has a lot of stories to discover. Rich in culture and arts, I would like to explore not just by taking photos of their well-known attractions but to live and immerse myself with the people of Negeri Sembilan. It will be a unique experience that I’ll cherish for a lifetime, so I booked online at HomeStay Pelegong.

Negeri Sembilan is identified with strong influence of the Minangkabau culture reflected with their traditional houses and modern architecture. The state’s capital, Serembran an hour drive from KL is said to have several historic and cultural landmarks which I would definitely want to see. Part of my itinerary is a tour at Port Dickson, a popular destination both for the locales and foreigners.

Travel essentials:

I seldom travel out of the country carrying only a backpack but today I’ll try to pack my things in one bag. Important documents such as valid passport and plane ticket. Staying connected with reliable gadgets, local simcard are just few of my travel essentials. 

I’m now ready to explore Negeri Sembilan and looking forward for an experience of a lifetime. See you Malaysia! Visit this blog more often as I share my travel experience in Malaysia particularly in Negeri Sembilan.
