TIMELINE
Good news to travelers!!!
Walking With Reeza allows budget travelers to explore Melaka city and several parts of Malaysia with a sense of understanding and appreciating its rich history and culture. It is initiated by a young Malaysian who learn that traveling is not complete without mingling with local. The concept looks like CouchSurfing, except there is no promise for sleepover. Usually, if the destination is in Melaka city, Reeza will bring the visitors wandering around the historical part of Jonker Walk and then probably have a lunch or tea time together and next continue the journey to Porte de Santiago area. You may ask any questions regarding to Malaysia's history, culture, religion, politics or anything throughout the session. However, please acknowledge that Reeza's perspective might come from a young generation of Malay-Muslim college student that receives tertiary education in United States. Therefore, he might not resemble the reality of the whole population of Malaysia.
