Malaysia has CHANGED our FAMILY FOREVER! 🇲🇾 | Full Time Travel Family Malaysia
Join our epic adventure to Borneo, Malaysia, where our family embarks on a thrilling quest deep into the lush jungles in pursuit of a life-changing encounter with one of the World's RAREST ANIMALS!
This isn't just a travel vlog, it's a voyage into the heart of one of the world's most biodiverse places.
We're chasing a childhood dream, to meet one of the rarest elephants in the world, the Borneo Pygmy Elephant, with less than 1500 left on our planet.
We navigate unchartered terrains, encounter exotic wildlife, and experience heart-stopping moments that will leave you on the edge of your seats.
This 4-day expedition, guided by the amazing team at Borneo Eco Tours, will take us to the heart of the Dermakot Forest Reserve, a treasure trove of biodiversity.
We're not just here for the thrill of the chase. This journey is a race against time, to see these majestic creatures in the wild, to create unforgettable memories as a family, and to share this unique experience with all of you before time runs out for these magnificent elephants.
So, buckle up and dive into the adventure with us!

Great job on the video! Really top notch editing! As a West Malaysian, I have not experience what you all have and its just so splendid to see what Malaysia has so much in store! Such beautiful flora and fauna! Keep it up and hopefully we get to see more vlogs in Malaysia again! Love the commentary and documentary B-Roll stuff. Jimmy is giving Richard Attenborough vibes! 😅

Many foreign tourist forgot about sabah, sarawak which is located in north borneo island. The most mainstream travelog they often got sharing on us just about Kuala Lumpur.. thats quite mainstream. Credit for Mitch on sharing bout our whole picture of malaysia.. about Penang, Sabah,.. we need more review about another place in malaysia rather than kuala lumpur itself.. u need to go to Northern part of malaysia to catch a beautiful sightseeing of green paddy field🎉 it will make it for both of u.. nice and good work🎉
Wow! You guys are so lucky! It's not easy to spot pygmy elephants. I guess you guys are a few of the lucky ones who managed to catch a sight of these rare species of elephants. ❤

Continue to enjoy your jjcm ( _jalan jalan cari makan_ ) there all around malaysia while discovering loads more what this earth has and at the same time discovering your own selves too - in malaysia _jalan jalan cari makan_ would be somewhat akin to australia's walkabout, except that mostly it's right smack in the city or at least in some small towns, and not in any desert setting 😬 And, the primary objective apart from rediscovering/bonding with family members or friends, is also to discover/return to some (usually) delicious food, malaysians' pastime! 😂😂😂😂

Actual meaning is going for a trip, holidaying. Had a fantastic time negotiating the meandering roads, at 50 mph (80 km/h) at most, cutting through peak district just outside of sheffield, taking in the breathtaking view of the green rolling hills dotted with white wooly balls as sheeps casually continue to graze while finding sure footings on the slippery slopes high above the ravine - it was drizzling. Amazing sight! Amazing road trip!✨💖 Hope you guys have an amazing trip yourselves 👍
