KUALA LUMPUR WEATHER

So, you're moving to Malaysia?

Every year, thousands of expatriates move to Malaysia in search of a better life for themselves and their families. They come for new job opportunities, a higher standard of living, a better education, or simply a change in scenery.

As a British expatriate who has lived in over 30 countries, stayed in more than 80 apartments, taken over 250 flights, and interacted with countless immigration officers, I've finally made my home in Kuala Lumpur.

From my experiences, I know how thrilling, challenging, and perplexing it can be to relocate halfway across the globe. That's why I've dedicated my time to assisting other expatriates.
