In the summer July 2017 I and 12 others are visiting Malaysia and Borneo situated in the south east of Asia as part of our world challenge expedition. We aim to complete are challenge in 3 weeks.

Malaysia is most known for its tropical climate consisting of beaches and rainforests but underneath the surface many locals and traditional communities struggle with some rural villages in a state of despair. For instance the government are more interested in building a new hotel next door, ultimately leading to poverty where there is a lack of funding which causes a lack of opportunities like education.

During are expedition we aim to create a local project within small, rural and less developed communities. This could include fixing and sorting out schools and homes or simply interacting with children helping them to develop new skills like cooking.

Also for personal experience a challenging trek will occur during the trip in treacherous conditions for my personal benefit and health.
