Flexibility and independence are fundamental, which is why we organise as much or as little as our clients wish. We also like to give something back to local communities, which is why we sponsor various charity projects. See our responsible travel page for more information.

Sarah PooleyMalaysia Travel SpecialistMy passion for travel first began after studying for my Geography and Tourism degree at University. Completing my course, gave me the desire to go off and explore all the countries that I had been learning about and experience the variety of cultures and ways of life first hand.After university I set off on a six month adventure which included visiting countries within South-East Asia. One of my favourite countries I visited during my travels was Malaysia. Here I spent my time volunteering at Zoo Negara in the lively capital of Kuala Lumpur which involved working in the Ape Centre with the Orang-utans and Chimpanzees, and exploring the lush jungles of Borneo filled with an abundance of wildlife. I also spent some time making a home amongst the legendary headhunters of Borneo, and learning their local culture and crafts. After this project I travelled up the east-coast to the beautiful shores of the Perhentian Islands where I completed my advanced diving certificate. The waters here are truly amazing, filled with a variety of colourful local marine life from small Nudibranchs to Black-tip sharks. Since my first visit to Malaysia, I have been back to this amazing country again to travel to some of the places that I missed the first time. The main highlights of this trip were spending some time in the cool hills of the Cameron Highlands and on the colourful island of Penang. |

Haydn WrathManaging DirectorMalaysia Travel Plan is run by Haydn Wrath.I left the University of East Anglia in 1984 and escaped what seemed a very grim England by spending the rest of the 1980s travelling and working round the world. During this time I put in some usual stints as an English teacher in Tokyo, a landscape gardener in Sydney and a tarmac layer's assistant in Alaska. In 1990, I joined Bridge the World Travel Centre in London as manager of the World-wide department, where I was able to put my degree in Politics and Philosophy to good use. I fulfilled my ambition to set up a specialist travel company in 2001 when I founded Travel Nation, and later in 2006 set up Malaysia Travel Plan. I have visited Malaysia many times over the last couple of decades and am always utterly charmed by the people and the atmosphere there. Malaysia has so much going for it that it really can be all things to all people. Also of course, in common with so many other visitors, when in Malaysia, I am in food paradise...especially those Roti's they do ... |
