I love to travel so far in all over malaysia. Many people travel for different purposes. Whether it is for a business trip or a holiday trip, we see people travelling often. Some people prefer a hilly area for travelling while the others like travelling to places with beaches. In this travelling essay, we will look at the importance of travelling and how it has changed ever since the old times. Importance of Travelling While the reasons for travelling are many, we must not forget that it can be a refreshing experience. Travelling is an experience that can teach us so many things that you cannot possibly learn while living at home. Firstly, it teaches you how to make new friends. The world is full of people who love interacting. You get to make friends when you travel to new places and spend quality time with them. Moreover, it also helps you enhance your social skills. After that, travelling is great for learning new skills. For instance, going to mountain regions teaches you how to trek. Similarly, going to beaches helps you learn scuba diving or surfing. You can also enjoy the beauty of nature when you travel. Similarly, you get to explore nature like never before and find discover the earth’s beauty. Travelling also helps us understand people.

The journey from Bentong to take pictures at night is beautiful. Once here, you can stop by the payang market in 15 minutes from the drawbridge. At a certain time this drawbridge will be closed for passage and the bridge will be lifted. Don't forget to look for a flour dip shop when you get to Terengganu. You can also try breakfast at the shop on the toll road. #terengganudrawbridge #jalanjalanpantaitimur

Kapas Island is another one of Malaysia’s picture-perfect paradise islands, with beaches here that look exactly like those you’d see on a postcard of yesteryear. Nowadays, it more resembles the beaches on your Instagram feed; palms nod over fine, white sand, lapped by clear seas which lead out into a beautiful turquoise-blue vista. Just off the coast from the town of Marang in Terengganu, Kapas really is one of Malaysia’s most beautiful islands. It’s a paradise for snorkeling and diving, with a wide array of marine life – the coral here is bright and vivid – always an incredible sight. As well as the great beaches, this tropical island in the South China Sea is also known as the main location for researching Amphidromus, an enigmatic species of snail with colorful shells. #urbanexplorer #beachvacation
