Recently WithLocals contacted me about their  new online service available in Malaysia that connects locals with tourists to provide unique, homegrown cultural experiences. Their site is really exciting to me, mainly because I would have loved to have had a system like this in place back when we lived in Malaysia. We had a constant stream of visitors in KL, and I had a roster of restaurants and tourist attractions to cycle through. While it was great to be able to “show off” our home away from home, sometimes it also meant going to the same places repeatedly (once, I visited the KL Bird Park three times in four days.  I mean, I love fowl as much as the next guy, but … that’s a lot of bird visits). WithLocals would have been a great way to experience the city with experiences that were unique for me, too.
