There's a myth worth dispelling: that eco-friendly travel means compromising on comfort. Eco-friendly does not mean shared bathrooms, cold showers, and dinner by headlamp.  

The world's most compelling eco-luxury destinations have quietly redefined what it means to travel responsibly. They've proven that conservation and five-star service can go hand-in-hand. And the result is some of the most extraordinary, immersive, and beautiful travel experiences on the planet.

During my recent trip to Malaysia with EXO Travel, we started our journey in Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh. After leaving Ipoh, we traveled north to Penang and then to Langkawi island. These latter destinations were very special and could each merit their own dedicated trip.
