Malaysia is in the middle of an environmental catastrophe. If you read my last post, things we didn’t like about Kuala Lumpur, you’ll remember me mentioning the air pollution.

It’s been a very long two days, but we’re here, safe, comfortable and looking forward to a good night’s sleep. I’ve Learnt a Few Things. The rate at the Travelex counter at Gold Coast airport is negotiable. I wasn’t impressed with the offered rate so she gave me a better one. Which was OK. You have …
This is my last week in Port Douglas, Queensland. Regular readers will know we are British expats and have been living in paradise here for almost six years.

So do I have any travel regrets? I don’t think …
We’ve been travelling full-time for over 4 years now, without a full-time traditional job between us and loving our new non-conventional life.
