We are creatures of comfort. Say the words "budget travel" and the first thing you picture gone are go-to comforts or amenities. However, compromising on quality doesn't always have to be the case when you're on a budget-savvy trip.
Instead of stretching your dollar in Singapore, choose Kuala Lumpur as your next getaway destination. Why? So you can explore and enjoy a satisfying stay minus the compromise.
Room comforts - check. Strategic location - check. Plenty of eatery options - check. Shopping areas - check. Wallet-friendliness - double check! Time to turn those affordable travel aspirations into reality.
