About us:
We are Mike and Serina. We love travel, adventure and fitness. One of our most memorable adventures was climbing #MtKinabalu in Sabah, Malaysia. Whilst there are travel restrictions in place, we have decided to take our #hiking adventures local, exploring what Perth and Western Australia have to offer. Join us as we go for weekly hikes and share our adventures.
For those of you that have been following us for awhile, you will know that Serina was born in #Malaysia and we both love spending time there, visiting friends and family and immersing ourselves in the culture.

Kami adalah Mike dan Serina. Kami suka perjalanan, pengembaraan dan kecergasan. Salah satu pengembaraan kami yang paling berkesan ialah mendaki #MtKinabalu di Sabah, Malaysia. Walaupun terdapat sekatan perjalanan, kami telah memutuskan untuk melakukan pengembaraan #jalan kaki setempat, meneroka apa yang ditawarkan Perth dan Australia Barat. Sertailah kami semasa kami melakukan kenaikan mingguan dan berkongsi pengembaraan kami.
Bagi anda yang telah mengikuti kami sebentar, anda akan tahu bahawa Serina dilahirkan di #Malaysia dan kami berdua suka menghabiskan masa di sana, melawat rakan dan keluarga dan melibatkan diri dalam budaya.

    Hello from Oregon, USA -- Thank-you very much for this beautifully produced and quite relaxing video hike up Mt. Kinabalu. In the Spring of 1978, I met up with a couple of friends from The Netherlands in Kota Kinabalu and we decided to climb Mt. Kinabalu before travelling to the eastern part of Sabah for a planned 2-month self-guided canoe trip up the Segama River. Tourism in Borneo wasn't really a thing 44 years ago, and aside from a day use shelter at the park entrance, there were no accommodations or other infrastructure for visitors. Climbs were self-guided on a sketchy, undeveloped trail up the mountain through pristine forest with an abundance of various pitcher plant species, with the only lodging being an unattended stone hut with wooden bunks to rest before the summit push. We stayed on the mountain for 3 days without seeing any other people, but upon returning to the park entrance, ran into a group of Nepali Gurkha soldiers preparing to climb the mountain. Stationed in Hong Kong but in Borneo for training, these elite members of the British Army were all ethnic Gurungs from the mountainous Annapurna region of the Himalayas in North-Central Nepal. Coincidentally, I had travelled to Borneo myself from that very region of Nepal, where I had lived and worked for 3 years in a remote, traditional Gurung village NW of Pokhara. I had left Nepal 1 month earlier and was on my way back to Oregon when I ended up in Borneo. So yeah, small world. Anyway, old guy here with lots of stories just missing the good old days and my youth. Thanks again for helping to bring up these memories of what was an adventurous and really fun time in my life. Best wishes.

It would have been a fair bit different in 2000, as that would have been before the earthquake - less stairs then too I've been told.

There was a french woman behind who used to hike and kept reassuring me that I was safe with her behind me. That's the way I made it. The hike down was very painful for my knees.

Im a native living for 19years and yet to climb it🥲 Feeling proud of the both of you🥰 Btw, I think your video is the only video that depicted the most part of the adventure towards the summit of Mt Kinabalu. Way to go for the effort !🔥 2021: still thinks the foods and drinks up there is ridiculously overpriced !! It’s 4/5 times the price we usually pay !

Sleep early and you'll be fresh to attack the summit. Breathe slowly and take small steps to conserve your energy and do use the poles on your way down. Most of all, enjoy the hike
