I AM THE BORNEO EXPLORER 婆罗洲探险者

There's something truly magical about being close to nature — especially when it's just a few steps behind our own family farmhouse. 🌿 Last weekend, I decided to bring my children on a mini "adventure" — not to some faraway place, but to the clear, refreshing stream that winds through the back of our village land. Armed with just a few plastic nets, some extra clothes, and a spirit for discovery, we set off. The air was fresh, the forest alive with the soothing sounds of water tumbling over mossy rocks. Tiny waterfalls trickled down the stones, creating little pools that were just perfect for the kids to splash around. Barefoot and giggling, they jumped from rock to rock, their nets ready to scoop up any "treasures" the stream might offer — little fish, leaves, or even a shiny pebble. As I watched them — my daughter carefully sitting on a smooth stone, my son wading bravely across the shallow waters — I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of gratitude. ...

Last weekend, my brothers and I embarked on a memorable hiking trip with my two energetic children, aged 6 and 7. Our destination was the renowned Jangkar Waterfall nestled in the picturesque Sematan area of Kuching. Excitement filled the air as we set off early in the morning, eager for a day of exploration and bonding amidst nature. The trail began gently through a rubber plantation, the morning sun filtering through the canopy above. Accompanying us was a friendly local dog whose curiosity matched our own adventure spirit. As we descended, the anticipation grew for the crystal-clear waters that awaited us at Jangkar Waterfall. Halfway through, we faced an unexpected twist — we missed a trail turn and found ourselves navigating through the waterway instead of the jungle path. Large boulders challenged our footing, but with teamwork and laughter, we managed to forge ahead. The children, despite the occasional stumble, were thrilled by the adventure, their faces lighting up with each n...

Nestled on a peninsula accessible only by boat, Bako National Park in Kuching beckoned us with promises of untouched nature and breathtaking vistas. Our overnight trip to this pristine wilderness turned out to be a perfect blend of adventure, challenges, and unforgettable moments as a family. We started our journey bright and early, a group of seven including myself, my two brothers, my wife, and our two spirited children. The day was already warming up as our boat cruised along Sungai Tabo, eventually leading us out into the expansive South China Sea. The 15-minute boat ride from the jetty to the park HQ was a scenic introduction to the wonders awaiting us. After a quick registration at the park HQ, we settled into our cozy hostel room, eager to begin our exploration. Our first hiking choice was the Telok Pandan Kecil trail, a 2.5km trek from the HQ. As we set off, the heat of the day bore down on us, challenging even the most resilient among us. Along the trail, my little girl voiced...

This is the Kinabalu Park, the starting point to climb the mount Kinabalu, this place is called Timpohom lodge. And surprisingly a lot of squirrels running around asking for food. They are all over the trees... They are so cute then we feed then crackers, they use their two tiny hands holding the food, and stuff into their tiny mouth. And are not afraid of human at all :O The Borneo Explorer Wilson Chin (me)
