My Favorite Destinations in Southeast Asia

By Joshua Berida On July 11, 2021 In Vietnam

Southeast Asia is the region I was able to travel around in for a month or so. It kick started my wanderlust. I remember my first trip to Bangkok several years ago. My experiences there led me to the conclusion that I wanted to travel as much as possible. Being from the Philippines also made traveling around the region possible and easy (Filipino passport holders don't need a visa to visit countries in Southeast Asia).

Here's a list of my favorite places in Southeast Asia (excluding my home country the Philippines) in no particular order.

Penang Itinerary & Expenses

By Joshua Berida On March 03, 2014 In Penang

I was in Penang for a week during the last leg of my six week tour around Southeast Asia.

Penang has a lot in common with Malacca, but unique in its own way. I wouldn't mind goiing back to Penang in the future.

Tasting Penang

After hearing rave reviews about the food in Penang, I decided to taste the dishes Penang had to offer.

For a budget traveler like myself, finding solace in street food is not only good for my pocket but also for my belly. I found several hunger quenchers along the different streets in Penang.

I found myself in the UNESCO Heritage Town of Georgetown in Penang, during my Southeast Asia trip. It was similar to Malacca, but not quite the same.

Penang's Street Art

By Joshua Berida On February 12, 2014 In Travel

Aside from the historical significance of Georgetown, this vibrant city has a lot of street art worth mentioning. From murals to wire art, the streets of Penang are teeming with creativity amidst the hard-hat and blue-collar vibe of this state.
