Visiting Celebes Beach Resort at Pom Pom Island, Sabah – Malaysia
So we found out about this place called Pom Pom Island last year at MIDE (Malaysian International Dive Expo), I’d honestly never heard of it before and couldn’t even point to a region on the map where I thought it might be. It turns out, it’s in Sabah, about 30 mins boat road from Semporna, […]

Kota Kinabalu (KK) – Monsopiad Cultural Village (Kampung Kebudayaan Monsopiad)
After the Sandakan Town Tour we headed to the airport and flew over to KK. Shortly after landing we headed on over to the Monsopiad Cultural Village, which was an interesting experience to say the least.
