Go on a street art trail in Kota Kinabalu to learn more about the city

Kota Kinabalu in Sabah has always been on my list of places to travel to. So, when the opportunity to visit the city during a work trip came along, I was more than happy to volunteer.

The beautiful coastal city was unlike anything I had ever imagined; there was something to be discovered at every turn of the corner. From exotic islands to local street art – and not forgetting the vibrant food scene – there were just so many things to experience in KK. Suffice to say, I relished every moment of the trip.
