  • PART TWO of our trip around Sabah, Malaysia. In this video, we stayed at the Bilit Adventure Lodge for two nights and it was incredible! It was by far our favorite part of our 11 day tour around the state. We saw proboscis monkeys, crocodiles, different types of hornbills, civets, and the elusive Borneo Pygmy Elephants.

    + OUR STORY
    Based in South Carolina, we are a full-time traveling family. Colin was born and raised in Malaysia and moved to the U.S by himself at age 19. Meg was a military kid born in Germany and the both us have always had a dream that we would 'travel the world' as kids. After 7 years of marriage and two kids later, we got selected by @Airbnb to join the 'Live Anywhere' program and we have been making our dreams come true, one trip at a time.

    Amazing! Malaysia is such a a beautiful country. We have only been to Kuala Lumpur and Penang but it was such a wonderful experience. Next time we are able to travel there Sabah will be on our list. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I think your kids are going to learn so much from this experience. It will open their hearts and minds because they’ve experienced difference cultures and people. Meg seems so happy because you can always see her beautiful smile in this journey. You all are definitely inspiring us to do more travel. By the way Colin your editing is on point. You got skills in this editing game.

      Thanks for all your kind words and watching yet another video of ours. We hope you do get to visit! Booking with a tour company would make it a lot smoother as Sabah can be trickier to navigate. ❤

    Wow! The civets are very elusive and rare… you all had an excellent guide to spot them.
    And you all were really blessed to see so many of the endemic species of Borneo - proboscis monkeys, various types of civets, Bornean elephants, rafflesia, Bornean Orang Utan, Sun Bear.
    I do Environmental work including Forest Protection, went to Sabah for my 33rd birthday in 2023, and Sabah is my favorite place on Earth… the nature, the people, the food all have such beauty & diversity.
    I hope to be getting back to Sabah again soon, InshaAllah.

    i really enjoy ur video. apart from the elephant, the song selection, the loving vibe ur family gave out... ur video not just interesting but giving me positive energy. and educational. pls keep it up! As a fellow Malaysian from Peninsular, i been to Kinabatangan once for 3 days 2 nights but didnt get to see the pygmy elephant. though there seems to be a resident orang utan at the lodges we stay roaming around
