My name is Esther and I was born and raised in this small town called Bukit Mertajam in the state of Pulau Pinang (Mainland), in Malaysia.
My family and my friends have called me a ‘typical traveller’ because I would travel whenever I have free time and whenever I could afford it, whether it is inside the country or overseas, I’d turn my backpack into a luggage and travel as a backpacker.
Why travel to unknown places?
I love great challenges like getting lost in places that I’ve never been to, that’s what discovery means. Beyond that, I enjoy discovering places that are unique and non-mainstream, it enables me to write my own story and create pieces of memory like puzzles that I could put together and they last forever. There’s a saying goes, “The tan will fade but the memories will last forever.”
Whenever I travel, I would look for a place that I called “home” because I have been living in my house for more than 20 years, therefore I will not live in a shelter that I can’t call home.
Bukit Mertajam, a place that is not well-known in international level, but is definitely a quite popular region nationwide. I’d dare to say that this place will create a chain of memories.
