Would you give up the opportunity for a free vacation? Of course not, correct? This time, I'll take you to explore the natural beauty of my state, Sabah, the land below the wind.

The journey from Sandakan to Kundasang takes 5 hours, and it all depends on traffic and weather conditions. It is also necessary to take the condition of the road into account.

From Sandakan, we will go through several districts in Sabah to get to Kundasang, then to Kota Belud, and then to Kota Kinabalu.
Kundasang was the first stop, and it was really cold.

Mount Kinabalu is close to Kundasang, and it is indeed one of the most famous holiday destinations in Sabah.

But the main purpose is to go to Kota Belud. The trip from Kundasang to Kota Belud is about 66km and it should take about an hour to reach, but because it's a school holiday, the road is congested with guests.

In Kota Belud, which is famous for its beautiful river and interesting scenery, we will be able to see Mount Kinabalu as the main scenery.

TANJUNG ARU BEACH, KOTA KINABALU, SABAH.

The trip from Kota Belud to Kota Kinabalu takes about an hour and a half or two. However, due to the school holidays, there are numerous cars on the road. The most essential thing is to be patient.

---

For those who enjoy the beach and the sea. Don't pass up the chance to visit Tanjung Aru Beach in Kota Kinabalu. This is also a popular destination for tourists and locals looking to spend time with their families.

The majority of visitors come here because of the numerous food stalls that sell wonderful dishes. However, this time I will merely take you to appreciate the beauty of nature, with no regard for eating.

Even more intriguing after the sun goes down. It appears that all tourists will take advantage of the opportunity to photograph its splendour. I didn't get a chance to photograph a lovely sunset, therefore I can't attach one.

KIPUNGIT WATERFALL, RANAU, SABAH.

If you wish to go back to Sandakan. It is preferable for you to take a break in Poring, Ranau. It's a hot water pool, and it used to be one of my favourite places to go with my family.

---

---

But first, I'd want to take you all to Kipungit Waterfall in Ranau. Today's post features a lot of water-related stuff. Because my postings have always been on the natural beauty of the forest.

---

---

This is why I love my own country. Flora and fauna's natural beauty is still best preserved. I'm not sure why, but I now value our ecosystem so much that I wish to volunteer with the Greenpeace NGO in my state.

---

---

My post today is a little dull because I am exhausted. Tomorrow, I'll travel again and tell you about it, possibly with a VLOG about the hotel where I will be staying.

Last but not least, a few thoughts from me before I end my blog. If someone is preventing you from achieving your goals, resist being swayed by the negativity they spew at you because they simply want to tear you down. Pursue your dreams with confidence; nothing is impossible for you.
