My second solo adventure led me to the enchanting island of Penang, a place where I encountered a whirlwind of first-time experiences.

It was there that I made my very first spontaneous travel decision, embarking on a journey without much planning. I also took my inaugural drive to the seaside, felt the thrill of staying in a backpacker hostel for the first time, and tackled long walks with a heavy backpack on my shoulders—these were just a few of the many firsts I relished.

Throughout my travels, I crossed paths with an array of kind and warm-hearted individuals 🤍🤍🤍, each adding a unique flavor to my journey.

If given the chance to do it all over again, Penang would still be my top choice 😺. The endless char kway teow, the mesmerizing sunsets that never lose their charm 🌅—these are the memories that linger in my heart.

They say that once you catch the solo travel bug, there’s no turning back. With so many incredible destinations out there, I can’t help but wonder: where will my next adventure take me?




I love how you dove into solo travel without overplanning—it really seems like the best way to discover hidden gems. The combination of spontaneous decisions and those first-time experiences sounds like such an adventure, especially exploring Penang’s beaches and backpacker scene!
