Travel Bloggers List in Malaysia

I hate to say it, but there is still a massive lack of travel bloggers in Malaysia, and just 10 years ago, I did a similar article but only to find that the change has been at a prolonged rate.

For 2020, I have developed a list of Malaysian Travel Bloggers to look out for. This list has no mechanics, only because they travel and blog.

Malaysia Travel Bloggers Complete List

Firstly, let me inform everyone that many industry people wrongly conceptualise the word 'Travel Blogger' in Malaysia.

This is because almost everyone started with a food and general blog and eventually branched into travel.

You will have people stating that travel and food go together as a pair, and yes, I totally agree, but it all depends on how the person manages it.

The travel bloggers list below features Malaysians and non-Malaysians who write about Malaysia or are based in Malaysia.

Some blogs may be inactive or no longer writing, but on the last checking, they still updated their blogs in 2018.

Many travel bloggers are casual bloggers, meaning they have a day job and blog as a hobby.

Some people think. Influencers are ruining travel. Source Travel Off Path. 

Currently, most people are referring to the term 'Travel Influencer', which is considered social media travellers.

These are not included here as most travel influencers will only have an Instagram account, which does not count under the category travel blog.

PR Agencies, Advertising Agencies, and Internet Marketeers - If you are here to get information or contacts, let me tell you that I made this list simply based on bloggers with no complete statistics.

PR agencies should also do their homework on the many bloggers listed here.

Pulling names randomly from this list will only result in a successful or lousy campaign, as you would need to know who can reach your audience or even meet your KPI. Again, not everyone on this list has the desired reach and numbers.

You will notice that many Malaysian bloggers cleverly brand themselves as Travel and Food, Food and Travel or Travel, Lifestyle and Food blog, hoping to cover as many genres as possible.

Simply said, a travel blogger's description merely is to blog about their travel experiences when they travel. Anyway, below is the list in alphabetical order.

Travel Bloggers in action.

Statistic Breakdown for the Malaysian Travel Bloggers

1. Most of the above are mainly Malaysia Lifestyle Bloggers covering several genres, including everything. (Yet many claims they are travel bloggers)
2. A number of them are mainly food, lifestyle and travel blogs. 
3. A small portion is travel photobloggers, even though they claim they are travel but more photos than text in their articles. 
4. Only a tiny handful of the above is pure travel bloggers who only write about travel. 
5. While some travel bloggers above are active, many casual travel bloggers only blog once or twice a month. 
6. Most of them are working full-time jobs, while a small percentage are students or self-employed. 
7. Some of the above blogs are in Malay, and some blogs are in dual language, English and Malay, Chinese, and English. 
8. You should be surprised that there are no Indian travel bloggers who write in Tamil.  
9. Most travel bloggers are aged below 35 years of age, while a small handful is aged 35 to 50 years old. 
10. A number of them are photographers who include their work in their travel or lifestyle blogs.

The stats above are based on visiting the sites, meeting most of them, and monitoring their trends over the last five years.

The results are not calculated, but judging from the style and delivery, the conclusion is closely assumed.

That's me going scuba diving at Lankayan Island in Sabah, Borneo.

Conclusion
