Kota Kinabalu and Gaya Island, Sabah, Borneo (the Mountain View Villa, the Rainforest Spa and the War Memorial)

From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides. I couldn't find my way to Kota Kinabalu. Each time I tried it just felt wrong, but friends I'd made on the way kept telling me, "It's worth it." Just one last flight, one last booking, one last push to one last part of Malaysia. It was worth it, every last step, every penny, to be here. Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa and the rest, the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes, they are also just stories, for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life. Pearl Howie is an Amazon Best Seller (and had the No. 1 New Release for her guide to Durban) in Kindle and paperback in the US, UK, Canadian and German charts (Motivational Self-Help, Mental & Spiritual Healing, Literary Travel, Venice Guides, African Travel, Safari Travel, Resorts & Spas for Travelers, South East Asia Travel, Kyoto Guides, Tokyo Guides and Travel/Religious). "You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures." "I've just booked my first holiday in 13 years " "To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure " Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway" Not small, just travel size.
