A Volunteers Diary: Perhentian Islands, Malaysia.

January 15, 2016 By Backpackers Mag

Perhentian Islands Eco-Tourism, Malaysia.

  As we bounced over the crashing, inky blue waves our pale faces scrunched up like old newspaper, trying to avoid the sight of the stormy sea ahead, with horizontal sea spray lashing at us, we quivered as the boat rose higher into the air while we instilled all of our trust in a rather […]
