SUPER informed. Digital Nomad who has lived in London and Paraguay and now in Malaysia for 4 years. In advance of our meeting, I sent Christine a slew of questions; she had all the research / answers ready. If you want information about Malaysia and its surrounding countries, you couldn’t ask for a better guide.
