Hi, I’m Julie 👋
…the mama behind Mama’s Guide to Malaysia!
When I became a mum, I started looking for actually fun things to do around Kuala Lumpur – and quickly realized how little practical info was out there for parents.
I kept landing on generic lists of the same ol’ touristy spots 😐
I found my mission: Find actually-fun experiences for families exploring Kuala Lumpur and beyond!
