8 Types of Travel Kaki Malaysians are Familiar With

We all can agree that travelling gives you experiences like no other. You get to see and try new things, and immerse yourself in different cultures wherever it is you choose to go.

However, although the saying goes, ‘It’s about the journey and not the destination’, your travel companion can really make or break that experience.  If you’re an avid traveller (or even if you aren’t), here are some of the travel kaki that you confirm have travelled with at some point.

1. The one that practically lives on a plane

These are the friends that always seem to be in a different country every month. They know what to expect, have perfected the art of falling asleep on a plane, are pros at dealing with jet lag, and can adjust to the time differences in no time!

 

2. The one who knows where to go and what to eat

They’ve already done the research on where you’re going and have memorised the guidebook from cover to cover. They have all the facts on where to go and what to do; they’re basically a walking encyclopedia! They sometimes even go the extra mile and look up interesting (but useless) fun facts too.

 

3. The friend who will pack their entire house

They’re the ones who pack 53,245 bags even though it’s only going to be a short 3-day trip. The worst is when the trip is over and they STILL have no space, so they’d ask to tumpang your unused luggage check-in.

 

4. The friend that carries the ONE bag

Whether it’s 3 weeks or 3 days, they will still only bring one bag. They never have any check-in luggage (resulting in them being the perfect victim of the I-will-pack-my-entire-house friend) yet they still manage to fit everything in their carry-on.

 

5. The friend that is always ons but is never around during the trip

They have their own agenda in mind and don’t really contribute much towards planning the trip. They’ll always be ‘ons’ for a trip but when you get there, they pretty much disappear to do their own thing.

 

6. The friend who has travel blogger potential

These are the ones who always have their phones or cameras out taking those Insta-worthy pictures and constantly updating their Insta-stories – also many a time bugging you to help them take those shots.

 

7. The friend who has their life together

They’re the ones who usually end up planning the entire trip because they can adult properly. From getting everyone together, setting the dates, booking the flights and hotels, planning the trip itinerary, EVERYTHING. They would even pack your bags for you if they could.

 

8. The friend who can always get the best deals whenever, wherever

They’re the ones who are always up to date on which airlines have the best deals and have probably subscribed to every airline/travel-related mailing list known to mankind.

They’re the best people to invite on holiday as they’ll probably get you the best deals at the end of the day. Better yet, they might get you hooked on to sites like this so you can do what they do too!
