Hotel Guys - Global Hotel Guys

Malaysia sits at the crossroads of our SE Asia playground. After our wonderful visit last year we decided to return for a longer visit at our same Airbnb in Kuala Lumpur [https://www.hotelguys.com/malaysia2024/2024/9/17/st-marys-residence-airbnb-apartment-kuala-lumpur-malaysia]. Shopping, medical services and alopathic and alternative healing was a highlight throughout. We enjoyed a second visit to Malaysia's second city of Ipoh, known for it's lively food scene among other charming features. Rich took a solo getaway to Cameron Highlands too and lived through his slip and fall mishap to enjoy the region's fresh strawberries and cooler temperatures. Top of Page

Our friend Nancy Ward talks to us about living abroad through the poltical missteps in the United States. We share highlights from our recent two week visit to India. We’re hiding out on the beach in southern Thailand. Top of Page

Paul is solo on this podcast, without Rich, answering questions about our travel lives from dear friend Commissioner Nancy Ward as she guest-hosted with Brady Preheim on the program Odd Friday on KOHI radio in Scappose, Oregon, USA. Topics discussed include Myanmar’s Rohingya Muslim minority, the view of America from abroad, practical considerations when traveling like safety, money, medical tourism and more.

We surprised ourselves and spent three months in Indonesia in 2024! Our initial visit in the spring included two weeks in Bali and two weeks in Java. Then, after a month each in Sri Lanka [https://www.hotelguys.com/sri-lanka-2024] and India [https://www.hotelguys.com/india-south-2024], we came back and spent two full months just in Bali. We love it and below we tell you all about it! Top of Page

After our month in Auroville (see Part 1 - podcast #18), we stopped on our way back to the Chennai airport to visit the Group of Monuments at Mahabalipuram. As one of India's popular tourist sites, Mahabalipuram is a UNESCO World Heritage Site of 7th- and 8th-century Hindu monuments. We then spent the night at the wonderful Trident Hotel Chennai near the Chennai airport. This is our third visit to India. It’s such a welcoming country. We love the food, the culture and the people!
