You two are so cute together!
It's weird how homosexuality is viewed in different countries. Despite being different races people assume you're sisters but when I went to Spain with my sister people assumed we were married.
In my country that is high-tech and really up to date with random things. Same-sex marriage is illegal. A couple, one American, one from my country, married in America, wanted to live here. And they didn't give the American girl access to live here because here same sex marriage is not legal, so their marriage is not valid. I'm so shamed.
@@m2ukass You shouldn't be ashamed you don't run the country
Back when I was dating a white boy in my teens everyone assumed we were siblings. I’m not even gay. Now that my boyfriend is much darker than me that’s not an issue, thankfully, although now we get people who don’t seem to think we’re together until it’s undeniable. When I walk up to him at a cash register the clerk just seems confused for a solid minute.
people with different colourings can still be siblings. Being malasian-english is not a race.
@@alejandramoreno6625 But Asian and Caucasian are considered two different races. I always use ethnicity because I believe there is one race - the human race. But technically the race thing relates to skeletal structure and skull structure.
As a Malaysian gay woman who is currently in a relationship, the country is indeed changing, hopefully for the better. Having lived in England for 11 years and finally coming home, I can definitely see that while indeed it's still considered very conservative and not as open-minded due to race politics and also religion, it's perfectly normal to spot other gay couples out and about their lives in public. It's not as low key as it used to have to be, but like you rightly said, we don't go around flaunting the rainbow haha. And even if we did, it just doesn't seem to occur to people as quickly that it could be something related to the gaaaaay! Anyway, can't say how happy I feel to see Claudia out here on the interwebs representing both our culture and our community!
Aye!
Me: Don't say it
Don't say it
Don't say it

Gaysia
Elliot Taylor IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THOUGHT THAT LOL
there is a book called that by benjamin law. Nearly used it for my extended essay for my ib diploma. you should read it :D
I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING THAT OMG
Clicking to see more was so worth it! Thank you!
"We're not even the same race" ... That doesn't mean you can't be sisters.
I'm more surprised that there are people who get along with their siblings well enough to hold hands
You don't hold your siblings hand? Sorry I'm just really close to my sister
"We're not even the same race!" had a full on snort-laugh there
I just thought they could still be sisters if they were adopted :p
@@T1ffy222 yes, or half sisters.
""No one wants to stand in the rain; why would you want to stand in a shower? You're just choosing to get rained on." You make me genuinely happy, Jessica. You two keep on keeping on. I love your lives. :)
The way Jessica looks at Claudia is EVERYTHING.
There is also an element of lip reading hahahhahaha
@@courtneylewis2415 still cute tho ❤
My fiance is Indian-Malaysian and I remember being so nervous meeting his parents because not only am I an American but I'm African-American sooo i was really worried they would not accept our relationship, but luckily his family was really accepting and I could not ask for better in-laws.
Claudia should be a travel documentary film maker!
Agreed
As a lesbian, half Malaysian called Claudia I just want to say I really aspire to be like your Claudia and have a wonderful wife one day
You two are seriously just the loveliest couple and the loveliest people. I LOVE these videos!
I feel like lesbians being able to hide behind the assumption of friendship when they hug or hold hands is super lucky. I'm a gay male who comes from a conservative area and came out when gay intercourse and marriage were both separately illegal in his area and no one ever assumed we were friends. And a good few showed that they didn't quite openly. Anyways, I'm glad you're safe in Malaysia.
Ya :/ It's a double edged sword though. As a lesbian, you can pass as straight, which can help you be safe, but do you really /want/ to pass as straight all the time? Recognition of your existence feels very good. Lesbians are dismissed as "oh lesbians don't exists, girls are just affectionate with each other". Gay males and lesbians face different kinds of challenges, unique but both equally oppressive in different ways.
Alison Laett I mean. If I could go back and not get the shit beat out of me for being gay a decade ago? Yeah. I'd take it.
@@joshuacreel3000 I'm sorry that happened to you. That is aweful.
@@joshuacreel3000 I'm so sorry this happened to you :(
It is a lucky break that we can pass at times but you also have to account for the men that think "I dont believe you're a lesbian" and proceed to make the environment extremely uncomfortable (and offten unsafe) to prove that they are man enough to show you that you are wrong about what you like.
Go Jessica! As someone with a close relationship with chronic fatigue, I was cheering you on as you climbed that very STEEP driveway!
Laila P I did the same thing! LoL!
Jessica narrating stuff about gardens is the thing i didn't know i needed. People asking you if you're sisters, ok. I mean, adoption is a thing and half-sibblings are a thing. But twins?!? Come on!
The timing of these videos have been great to when I needed them. I was able to get dressed and go get food today instead of staying in my room watching the ceiling. You guys have no idea how amazing your videos are, the cinematography is incredible!
Nicely done today ❤️
friendly_maddog that's wonderful to know! I hope your day was beautiful!
I'm a Buddhist but I wasn't really sure of the Buddhism's view on LGBTQ. I myself support the community very much, and I feel much better after watching this video :)
The beginning is breathtakingly beautiful and harmonious😭❤️. God Lord, you are wonderful! It is even informative.
I love how once during a school trip I held hands with a friend of mine to not get lost, and a mom started explaining what lesbians were to her child, so funny
I think of people who live in fear of doing anything or trying something new because it may be difficult. Jessica is amazing. She doesn't let anything hold her back from doing what she wants to do and living to the fullest. Very inspiring!
You guys are one of my favorite couples, and I just love how ethereal Jess is and how sweet and quiet Claud is.
Hello from Texas!
That drone footage!! Yess!! Go Claudia!!
Totally agree. Go Claudia! But moooooore drone footage. Like out the hot tub and then to the beach area. That would show steepness! Oh and it's so hard in flip flops to climb hills, good for a Jessica for doing it!
NothingToNoOneInParticular yes to all of that!! Love these ladies and the direction they seem to be headed!
I was like "Who's filming them?"
*facepalm*
seriously!!!! I needed a wee just as a pressed play, i thought id be able to stick it out, But not with that intro!!! Looks beautiful though and grate video as always. :)
Wheelsnoheels - Gem Hubbard haha this comment is fab.
ha ha ha sorry Gem! 💧
Another awesome vid
Im watching these videos with the silliest little smile on my face, and a heart full of love.
The investment in a drone really helped make this a really beautiful video. So worth it!
Hahahaha. Jessica, your view on showers are amusing. I’m the total opposite. I think baths are the equivalent of a big bowl of human soup. 🤣😂
lolol!
Maureen Zieber that’s my favourite thing now. I’ll go have a bath and announce that I am transforming into human soup
Human soup-yuck! hahaha
@@joyin9852 my roommate calls it "stewing"
I am just like this. The idea of a bath to me is unbearable. I need a shower to feel clean.
“We don’t snog on the internet!”
*checks instagram*
mHMMMMM
Lol I assume "snog" is more equivalent to "full on make-out session," which they don't do, but... Yeah. They definitely kiss.
@@lindsaymorrison7519 I thought snog could’ve been referring to sex, lol. Of course Claudica don’t snog on the internet, I chuckled to myself.
Jessica and Claudia, thank you so much for "taking us with you" to Malaysia via vlog. I have watched each Malaysia vlog at least 5 times. These vlogs were much appreciated and helped me keep my sanity during the long cold winter here in Maine. Love you both ❤️
The two of you are already gorgous and then add in the majestic beauty of Mayalsia.. it's like out of a movie, truly!
1:20 minutes in and I'm like ok when is Jessica gonna start doing voice overs for Nat Geo docs? She's got an amazingly relaxing voice
I am living for these blogs! It's snowing here in the UK!
There is much more to ethnicities in Malaysia. You'd see if you go to the Bornean part of Malaysia which is Sabah and Sarawak. I'll list a few, I don't know all because that's a whole fuck load of ethnicities and I'm not about that memorizing life:
Kadazan
Dusun
Kadazan-dusun
Sino(Chinese+Kadazan)
Bidayuh
Kedayan
Iban
Kokos(cocos)
Bugis(Malay)
Indian
Bajau(Malay)
Santong(Chinese ethnic group)
Jawa(Malay)
Suluk(Stray bullet, it's philipino but whatevs)
Etc.
In Peninsula Malaysia, there are only 3 categories of RACES which is Malay, Indian and Chinese but these races itself has other groups in it as you can see from the list(it's only a gist of what goes on under the sheets over here. People love to make mixed race babies).
For example, in Peninsula, to be Malay you must be a muslim and can speak Malay language well. It doesn't matter what race you came from, if you convert and can speak Malay well, you're Malay but of course this is only on paper because imagine that eh? That'a bloody offensive to the Chinese and Indians.
But at the Bornean parts of Malaysia, you can identify on whatever race you are as long as you have the blood. For example, I'm half Arabic and half Malay(Not really, I'm more foreign than I am Malay but I don't want to get deported. Jk). So what I identify as when people ask me is: Arabic-Malay.
Then you might ask, "what about the race category on Malaysian IC(Identification card)?"
Ah, there are 4 categories:
1)Malay
2)Bumiputera
3)Chinese
4)Indian.
Bumiputera is for the natives of Sabah and Sarawak since we(I say we, but I'm like...4% Sabahan by blood. Butts!) are not the same race with Malays but we are native citizens so they just call us...bumiputera. which probably means: Owner of land.
Bumi(Land, ground), Putera(Prince aka owner)
Then some people might also ask, "Doesn't the vast categorization of race segregate you all?"
My answer will be, you are only segregated by race when you let it.
At where I live, no. Sabahans and Sarawakians don't give a shit because as one Sarawakian said it on the news after Mount Kinabalu collapsed: "We share the same land, when Sabahans are hurt. We feel their pain just as much". I can't say about peninsula though because there is a bit of subconscious segregation but we don't really care about race here just don't be a dick and KISS THE FUCKING FLAG AND BE PROUD OF THIS COUNTRY, YOU SCHMUKS!
"How is the country's racism?"
Not black and white, a lot of grey shades. Difficult to solve. But overall, the racism in Malaysia is not intense because after all, we overcame divide and conquer to become independent(Suck that, Queen Liz! Sorry).
The people fight, bicker. We insult each other but at the end of the day, we'll still gather around at a mamak(slang for Muslim Indian) restaurant to watch football and complain about the gov over teh tarik and roti canai. That's just the Malaysian way. Fight all you want but after that, hug and make up.
Hope this helps at some degree. My jokes are dumb. Sorry.
Zulaiha Ali Amen, you genius of a person. Amen.
Zulaiha Ali Awww, youuuu😘
Zulaiha Ali Of course they can't! I'm 14% Malaysian! :p
Mr Sloth My friend, you should see the comments under religious videos. But thank you, I'll take all the compliments I can get to fuel my automatic horn tooter.
That is super interesting.
I am russian and I don’t think that if you are a married gay couple you are banned to visit. Though the attitude towards lgbtq+ community is awful (
Natalie Karmazina I think they mean because this channel would be seen as promoting gayness. We do get asked a lot of questions if we want to visit Russia.
Jenny Horner you are right. I hope the situation will change because Russia is a beautiful county and there are lots of cool touristic attractions.
Actually, right now we have Russian UA-cam gay couples and bloggers , who are pretty famous and 70% audience are full of respect and positiveness :) and you can see gay couples on the street(in the big cities like Moscow or St Petersburg), so, gay marriages still not allowed, but now people feel more free to express their sexuality😇
Александра Миллер but there's still a law banning "promoting" gayness openly so they could be punished and nobody wants to support such an advanced country that still is anti-lgbt+
Hong Kong is an Asian country that’s really accepting! I’ve lived here for nearly 10 years and everyone (my age, at least) is really accepting and educated when it comes to different sexualities (I guess because it’s a very western-populated country but yeah)
I think taoist and buddhist individuals are taught less of homophobia as well.
Gorgeous! Thank you so much for taking us along. This has to be the best vacation in the whole world. :-). And you got to play with your drone! Yay!
I literally can't stop smiling when I watch your videos. Your joy is infectious.
I am so excited on your behalf for even you will bring your child to Malaysia to meet their family there! I'm sure they will love them!
You two are so cute together! We Stan a healthy relationship
That shot in the beginning is beautiful and you two are gorgeous!
It's like you two are the only people in the world... So lucky! What a dream holiday. Also, im in love with Jessica's green polka dot bathing suit!
When I thought it couldn't be more perfect you go and show me this. Just beautiful!
these are hands down my favorite travel vlogs. Love you, ladies ❤️
Sawatdi !! Lovely ladies !! Your travel experiences are wonderful, even though I will probably have only one more trip in me (Britain), I got the feel of this place and it was wonderful. If I only could have had the food and the beach sand between my toes !!! Very enjoyable ! Except that darn snake.
This makes me want to visit Thailand! So gorgeous! Y'all seem so relaxed and happy. Glad you're having a wonderful trip!
I love standing in the Rain!!!
I see Claudia made good use of the epic drone there at the end! 👍 Great footage
I am dying at that passport bit, how did these people not realise that they were holding passports of different people. My bestfriend and i get twins or sisters all the time and we are different skins tones. Love from Jamaica
xxlilminx x Someone in my year thought me and my best friend where sisters for years but we look nothing alike😂 similar to Jessica and Claudia im half Asian whilst my friend is fair skinned with bright blond hair like how??
AoiAme225 I understand the struggle, my best friend is fairer than me (fair as someone from black parents can be) and I'm more brown. Look nothing alike still get twins or sisters when we hang out as often as it happened last week
Lol I think the myth is true; you spend enough time with someone and y’all start to look alike 😂
On another note, I miss Jamaica. I’m planning a trip back there in the summertime. You’re so lucking to be living there😩
DEZI Thanks
Siblings can be different skin tones. I know an English qatari family where half the children are arabic skinned and half are white and ginger. I also know someone who is light black and his mum is white as white. His dad is black nigerian mum pale white british so him and his siblings are all different mixes of skin tone.
Oooh, I love the ending of this vlog, classy and calm!
The end of this video inspired a question. Is it easier or harder to find meals that fit your dietary needs in Asia?
Melody Ilola Probably a lot harder. I can’t say for all of Asia, but in Malaysia there’s a lot less information about dietary requirements/restrictions and allergies. Also, a lot of the things are cooked in the same pot/wok with only a rinse in between. Sometimes even if you tell someone in advance they let it slide and still cook you the same ( I can’t say for everyone but I’ve seen it happen before) due
to lack of information, general forgetfulness and more. That being said, these are mostly experiences from more street food style restaurants/cafes and I think if you go to a more higher end store they’ll probably try their best and hook you up with something. It also depends what food you are eating, if you’re vegetarian, my best bet would be Chinese/Indian food as more people of that ethnic group are vegetarians. Also, food ingredient lists are not really a thing at restaurants. Sorry if I rambled on for too long and I hope this was (somewhat) helpful.
You two remind me of my mum and her girlfriend she had from when I was 4-8 years of age, it makes me very happy. Jessica is my mum and Claud reminds me of my mums girlfriend ❤❤
I'm having a really bad pain day and was feeling rather sorry for myself but this had really cheered me up
6 mins in the vid as a Bruneian (random fact: *who goes to Malaysia very often* ) I'm having a fun (bonding feel like) time gettin to know more about Claud's fam background hahahahaha
This is lovely Jessica & Claud! It’s great to see you’re having a wonderful holiday ❤️
So cute how Jessica got scared by the snake and the 'blood' in its mouth. Beautiful place and video! Love Claudia's strong woman poses 😁
thats really interesting! thank you for talking about it. i dont know much about malaysian and thai culture, so i definetely learned something
Heyya Jess & Claud❤❤❤❤
I was just about to sleep, but WHAT'S SLEEP....
Love you two lovelies❤❤ Thank you for the video❤❤
I like to stand in the rain lol
Me Too!
I’m watching your whole vacation from bed today as I can’t get up but I get to see all the pretty things you have done, so thank you for sharing and giving me hope that I will not spend my life in bed sick and that there are good times even if it’s short.
This video calmed me down so much after a really weird and stressful day. Really looking forward to your next Travel Vlog! :)
"You're just choosing to get rained on!"-Jessica
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am absolutely blown away by how gorgeous the area is around your hotel in the last half of the video. My jaw dropped and I feel speechless! Since you’re no longer staying there, would you mind sharing what the place was called? I would LOVE to go there someday.
Also, where did Claudia’s shoes from the very beginning of the video come from? They look so cute and comfy.
Gosh, I keep repeating myself but these vlogs are just gorgeous! 😍 Really makes me wanna go back to Thailand. Went there last summer for a few days, was one of the most memorable experiences of my life!
Oh and PS: the story abt the passport mishap was hilarious. This whole vlog was quite funny, actually!
i think what we all want and need in life is someone to look at us the way jessica looks at claudia.
I would love to see a Q&A with Jessica’s parents. With her witty personality I can’t help but wonder if they are the same 😊
sitting down with a coffee and your videos is my favorite way to relax, thank you both so much
Watching this is so inspiring as someone who traveled all the time before my chronic illness and still wants to travel in the future but is concerned about whether its still worth it.
The shot with the sun setting at the end is so beautiful 😍 ugghhh. It’s almost like I was right there in person.
Jessica’s voice is so calming
The drone footage is so cool! Money well spent.
Amazing video! Claudia, your video editing has really upped in level!! You both look like you're having a ton of fun!!
I pray to one day experience a love like yours and Claud's 💙 much love to you both!!!
The videos have been great! The filming, [hotographong, and editing skills are so on point! Beautiful- can totally experience things through your eyes! Thanks for sharing with us all!
Love Jessica's rationale against showers 😂#TeamBath
This totally made my morning/ day!! You both just make me so happy and remember to enjoy the simple things of life. Plus it looks gloriously warm and tranquil
Gorgeous! Thanks for taking us along! And I think the more you spend time with someone the more you start to resemble each other which may explain the silly people. I think I’ve been called a sister or twin with almost every best friend I’ve ever had! On the other hand people always think my actual brother is my boyfriend. 🤷🏽♀️ eew.
These videos make me so happy, thank you for sharing them!
The intro was the most relaxing thing ever, I love this whole travel series so much! Jessica, I would listen to so many audiobooks if they were read by you!!
It just warms my heart seeing them adorable like this
I think if there was a contest for a couple with the best hair, you two would win. I love Claudia's natural and long hair...but then Jessica looks like she stepped out of a beautiful vintage movie. :)
...I like being rained on.
Also, Claudia's British accent is my favorite accent.
I just found your channel and I just want to say that you two give me hope. I am also gay and have a variety of chronic illnesses and I fear often that there's no way anyone would want a relationship with someone who's always sick or in pain. Your relationship is beautiful and inspiring.
2 vlogs in one week you are spoiling us! ☺️
WOW I'm your Thai fan. I'm glad you were happy in Thailand. There are many beautiful places like Phuket, Krabi or other beaches you should go. Hope to see you travel to Thailand again. By the way, I think you don't have to worry about traveling as a foreigner gay couple in Thailand. Mostly in a tourist attraction, people welcome every tourist. Love you video ;)
Thank you for being so open with us.
I absolutely love all your videos!!
What a power couple you are
Thank you for captioning the BSL!!! I love the ceiling in your hotel room!
I think most gay couples respect their surroundings when travelling- good that you spoke about this
These two lovable ladies are therapy for me, I feel no pain when watching. The whole world need Claudia and Jessica in there life’s.
I’m from Russia and I’m pretty sure you would be allowed there. It’s not forbidden to be gay . I have a lot of gay friends and there are many gay clubs. Not everything told in media is true.
Sorry for my English. Love you so much!!! You r amazing!!!
This was gorgeous and 22 min flew by! Your love for each other is so beautiful and genuine. Cheers!
oh lord I just love these videos
Your videos from Asia are terrific! I only hope that you're not overworked and fully enjoy your time.
Love can make overcome any problems
I’m finally catching up with all of your vlogs, and it is so interesting to hear you discuss Malaysia. I’m currently doing a module about the colonial presence of the British in SE Asia, which means I’ve been learning a whole lot about Malay culture and the development of the ethnic groupings. I also had an essay about Siam (Thailand) evading formal colonial control. I find it all so fascinating and these vlogs are just making me even more excited to eventually visit both countries one day!
i can really feel how happy when you two are together coz i always laugh when watching ur videos!🤣
Gosh, this just melts my heart! You guys are so adorable, and just seeing the way you look at each other, it's very obvious you absolutely adore each other. I hope you and Claudia had a wonderful time! You deserve it! xx
As someone struggling with chronic illness at 19, (since the age of 14) (physical fibromyalgia, scoliosis, osteoporosis, gout, potential benign hyper mobility disorder (soon to be confirmed) and potential endometriosis (soon to be confirmed) and mental (anorexia, major depression, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, PTSD, and borderline)
I find it so motivating to see you living live despite your disabilities, I often find myself feeling sorrow for the life I could’ve had, but seeing you live the way you do, it motivates me to believe maybe, one day, I will be able to accomplish true happiness, and true “normality” (as much as someone with physical disabilities can.) Seeing you participate in such normal activities gives me genuine hope.
I love Claudia’s outfit in the villa!
(The red shorts and white top)
I'm so jealous, you look like you're having a fab time in great weather.
Jessica’s look in the second part is just gorgeous! Thanks for the video, it made my day better :) you two are lovely
jessica's monolid does make her look a little asian especially she isnt wearing makeup, though i doubt she would go out without makeup
