Happy New Year 2018!

Though 2017 has its fair share of fun and excitement, many are positively looking forward to 2018, which is expected to be better.

Beginning this year and starting from this issue (Issue 12.6/13.1), Gaya Travel Magazine will be published quarterly (four times a year). At the same time, Gaya Travel Magazine is also expanding its digital platforms further to complement the printed magazine for wider and more global reach. Do follow all of Gaya Travel Magazine digital platforms such as www.gayatravel.com.my, www.facebook.com/gayatravel, www.instagram.com/gayatravel, and twitter.com/gayatravel to get more enriching travel and tourism information and ideas!

ADVERTISEMENTS

On top of that, for those who yearn to see the Aurora Borealis, Gaya Traveller team offers advice on how to do so from Iceland, a far-flung destination that should be visited at least once by all intrepid travellers (page 27) due to its awesomely dramatic landscapes. But be warned: travellers need to brave the destination’s trying temperatures when they visit it outside summer months.

This issue is also filled with various other exciting destinations that we hope would make it into our readers’ bucket list in 2018 and beyond: Selangor culinary adventure (page 86); cultured Surakarta (page 40) and Yogyakarta (page 46); Kansai gastronomic haven (page 52); Hong Kong hiking trails (page 58); cruise to Macleods Islands in Myanmar (page 72); Central Switzerland (page 76) and surreal New Zealand (page 94).

So don’t stop and keep on travelling in 2018!
