Kuching, Malaysian Borneo: irrawaddy dolphins, indigenous crafts + the city of cats 🐈

hello lovely friends!!! welcome to episode 21 of our year travelling Asia and the final instalment of our Malaysia Diaries!!! this time from Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo! 🇲🇾🐈 we're back with another short but sweet vlog from our travels with my mum and godmother! Once again, we were ✨ living in the moment ✨ and not filming absolutely everything, but I hope you enjoy coming along for the bits we did capture hehe We absolutely LOVED Kuching, so much so that me and Con ended up staying for two full weeks! After mum and my godmother headed home, we decided to slow down and enjoy the city for a little longer, although we didn't film much of that part of our stay 🥹💘 in this Kuching travel vlog, we explore the city, visit the famous Cat Museum (because of COURSE we had to 🐈), do lots of shopping and take part in two really special local experiences! first, we also headed out on a wildlife cruise through the Santubong mangroves in search of the rare Irrawaddy dolphin! 🐬 what we loved about this experience was the respectful approach to wildlife watching, with no chasing or disturbing the dolphins, just patiently waiting and hoping to spot them in their natural habitat. we got SO SO lucky this day to see a huge pod of the dolphins, this was so special!! we later joined an indigenous weaving workshop where we learnt about the cultural significance of traditional weaving in Borneo and had a go at making our own pieces with local artisans who are working to keep these skills and traditions alive 🧺🩷 Kuching ended up being one of our favourite places in Malaysia, and it felt like the perfect place to finish this chapter of our travels. 🇲🇾 thanks for watching as always and if you like our videos please leave us a comment, a like and subscribe as it really helps keep us motivated to make these knowing that other people are watching them that aren't just our parents and my nan hehe 🥹💘 see you next time for the next chapter of our backpacking adventures in INDONESIA 🇮🇩🌏💕 🔗 Tours in this video (aff links) 📲 Indigenous Weaving Workshop: https://www.seeksophie.com/a/728l 📲 Irrawaddy Dolphin & Santubong Wildlife Cruise: https://www.seeksophie.com/a/oye8 IN THIS VIDEO: 00:00 intro 01:45 irrawaddy dolphin & santubong wildlife cruise 04:05 dolphins!!! 05:18 bird island 09:09 Kuching cat museum 10:22 indigenous weaving workshop 12:45 outro #Kuching #Sarawak #MalaysianBorneo #MalaysiaTravel #KuchingVlog #SarawakTravel #BorneoTravel #MalaysiaVlog #IrrawaddyDolphins #KuchingMalaysia #BackpackingMalaysia #TravelVlog
