§ About the creator

Hello, I’m Amer.

Travel creator from Kedah. I make videos and write essays about the unglamorous, useful side of travel.

Istarted filming travel videos in 2021, on a phone, on a budget I’d be embarrassed to admit. Five years later the gear is better and the budget isn’t, but the goal hasn’t changed: make travel feel possible for the person watching.

I’m a travel content creator from Malaysia who loves exploring new destinations and sharing useful tips. Most of my work lives on TikTok — short guides, packing lists, transport hacks, the things I wish I’d known the first time I went somewhere.

The journal is for everything that doesn’t fit in 60 seconds. Longer guides, photo essays, gear reviews where I can actually explain the trade-offs.

02 — What I coverThe remit.

Travel guides, mini itineraries, money-saving hacks, and gear reviews. Mostly Asia, mostly trains and buses, almost always on a budget. I review products I actually use; if a brand sponsors a piece, you’ll see it labelled at the top.
