Good day to you. Selamat Datang and Welcome to my trailer podcast “Doses of Malaysian Stories” Hi I’m Deanna, your host. Incidentally Selamat Datang literally translated in our Malay language is Welcome.

A quick introduction to who I am and why this podcast. I’m a Tour Guide  and also a trainer for aspiring tour guides for the past 20+ years. I’ve trained more than a 1000 guides in Malaysia, while still actively guiding foreign guests on a journey exploring my country, through her sights and sounds. And of course, along the way I also share doses of our Malaysian culture, our arts, our diverse communities, our food and things that makes us uniquely Malaysians. For the past year, I missed these sharing sessions as there were no guests coming in. That got me thinking on how else can I continue to do these sharing? That’s when I decided to pivot on to this virtual audio space of podcasting.

Well, this may not be a time for travelling yet, but it is certainly a time to start researching and plan for your future travel. Malaysia is one place you should certainly don’t want to miss in Asia.

I hope this podcast will serve as a reference point to help you in your planning stage of “the Hows, the Whens , the Whys and the What “of Malaysia.

My podcast shall be broadcast every 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. And my first episode shall fall on the 1st Sunday in the month of Jun – yes -that will be on the 6th Jun-. I hope to see you there. Your presence and support would be much appreciated.

If you have any feedback or suggestions as I take you on this journey with me, feel free to connect with me at my email address: dosesofmalaysianstories@gmail.com.  So I’m dating you on the 6th Jun.

Sending you virtual hugs … See Ya !! Bye – Selamat tinggal !!!
