A Guide to Gap Year in Malaysia
Popular Locations
As the third-largest island in the world, Malaysia is an excellent location for a gap year abroad. Malaysia consists of both a peninsula and an island, divided by the South China Sea and brimming with coral reefs, thick jungles, beaches, and mountains intertwined with booming metropolitan centers. You really can have it all.
Kuala Lumpur. The capital of Malaysia and the most popular location is Kuala Lumpur. It’s large and in charge— yet will welcome you with open arms. It’s contrasting, yet complementary elements (including modern buildings spiraling into space and overlooking the liveliness of the exotic Central Market on the streets below) will hypnotize you with awe. KL is a sprawl of bright lights, bright people, and bright opportunities for young gappers like you to take advantage of.
Borneo. The epitome of laid-back island living—Borneo is an oasis of rugged, dense rainforest and pristine waters, and is also internationally renowned for its dive spots. Needless to say, a gap year spent in the untamed jungles of Borneo will definitely be an out of the classroom experience. Allow Mother Nature to be your teacher as you marvel at the oldest rainforest in the world, while the inhabitants of Borneo open your eyes and heart to the beauty of life.
