I'm so excited for this one. I'm finally visiting Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. I just love their Islands, Beaches, and Mosque. This is also my first time on crossing borders between two countries. In one trip, my passport got 8 Stamps just crossing Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia to Bandar Seri Begawan.
I have a lot of activities listed here but all of them doesn't cost too much. This is student friendly budget and itinerary. Here are some clips and pictures of my travel.
You should really visit Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia and Brunei. I never expected that I'll have so much fun in here. I saw many wonderful things and learn things from the locals. They're so friendly too.
You can visit my Instagram for more photos of Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia and Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.

TIP
1. Download Grab and Dart. Grab is the main mode of transportation in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia while Dart for Brunei. Also the fare price is cheap (wayyyyyy cheaper).
2. For internet, you can book Digi sim card on kkday for cheaper price and also download MyDigi app in your phone and buy roaming data for Brunei. This is more convenient and cheaper.
3. Brunei airport is very strict, you need to assure you met their requirements. Like baggage, their officers will literally stop you and check your baggage even the hand carry.
I also want to thank IG:@_piadelacruz for my photos. She took amazing shots and very nice to travel with.
