birthdays in malaysia

One of the best parts of our travels so far has been the opportunity to spend so much time with our families abroad. Visiting family was always a “pillar” of our trip, and I’m glad we spent two months across Australia, the Philippines, and Malaysia doing just that.

For Malaysia, it was my first time visiting the country and meeting Vikram’s extended family in Kuala Lumpur, and it was his first time back after four years. We had a great time hanging out and eating (lots of eating) with all his family, including his dad who visited from the U.S. My parents also jumped over from the Philippines for a few days.

And what made our three weeks in Malaysia even sweeter was that Vikram and I both got to celebrate our birthdays here!

  1. I get tears in my eyes just trying to put myself in your place, Mary. To eat with you, to inhale someone new as we hug. This has been a highlight in your life, no doubt. All of us lucky ones who have shared it with you can dream big from now on!!! Thank you, to your parents for bringing you to Life!! Vikram is cute, too!!

    Always, Winifred “Oyoko” Loving
