Travelling is such a pleasing adventure as you will be able to see the world and expend your horizons with new cultures, dialects and other landscape which may be a life changing experience. While touring Malaysia, backpacking has been a tradition that a lot of people especially the youth adults have ensured to be with as they visit the country. If you plan to tour Malaysia and you will want to carry some stuff in your backpack, always make sure you ensure everything is in the bag the previous day and as you head to the bus station, make sure you can trace your bag where you put it if you travelled by bus from LCCT to your destination. This is because the route is filled with a lot of travellers daily and your bag may get lost in the process. 

Always draw up a budget if your savings are aimed at your last duration of the trip so that you don’t spend more than the expected limit. There are some backpackers who get to work while they are travelling in either bars or in restaurants or even in telesales situations which is a good idea if you are planning to stay in a location for a longer period of time.

You must always consider travel insurance as you are touring Malaysia. If you take a bus from KL to Penang for example, you may get an accident as the route is long and tiresome. It is therefore recommended to plan for travel insurance in advance before booking any bus in the country. If you are an employee travelling on business purpose, then your employer company may carter for you international medical insurance. This will work both as a benefit and an incentive so that they can keep you motivated in your work and on the safe side.

You should avoid leaving accommodation until you have reached your destination as you are on your tour in Malaysia. You should always book a hotel or a hostel the moment you have arrived and also make sure you book in advance a bus from LCCT as it will reduce the hustle and stress of getting service the time you have reached. In some situations, you might find that a bus is fully booked and this will inconvenience you majorly.
