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!
Penang sounds amazing! I love how you embraced spontaneity and explored so many new things. Backpacker hostels can be such a great way to meet people while traveling alone. Your adventure makes me want to visit too!
