A Relaxing Getaway to Avani Goldcoast: Exploring, Sharing, and Contributing
One weekend, my husband @PavelSarwar and I and a group of friends embarked on a refreshing three-day trip to Avani Goldcoast Resort, a beautiful seaside retreat located in Sepang, Malaysia. Just about 90 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur, the resort is easily accessible by car, taking approximately 1.5 hours to reach, depending on traffic.
Day 1: Arrival and Exploration
Upon reaching the resort, we were greeted by the stunning sight of overwater villas stretching into the sea, forming a picturesque palm tree shape. Our accommodation was a cozy cottage with a personal veranda and a private swimming pool, offering us a perfect blend of comfort and serenity.
The first day was all about exploring the resort. We walked around the beautiful premises, taking in the breathtaking views of the ocean. In the evening, we enjoyed a buffet dinner with our friends, and I wore a sareefor the occasion. After dinner, we returned to our room to freshen up, then set out to explore the night scenery, sipping coffee and enjoying deep conversations with friends.
Day 2: Sharing and Contributing
The following day, we had a delicious breakfast before heading to a hall room, where I had the opportunity to share my travel experiences and talk about how Google Maps has been an essential tool in my journeys. I also discussed how to contribute to Maps and Local Guides Connect, encouraging everyone to share their insights and experiences. Sometimes, I might not be able to post a meet-up plan on Connect, but I always make sure to talk about it whenever I meet fellow community members at events.
After the session, we had a lunch at the resort, enjoying a variety of local and international dishes. In the afternoon, we went to the beachside, where we played fun games, captured amazing photos, and, of course, contributed to Google Maps by adding new pictures, reviews, and location details. Later that night, we enjoyed another buffet dinner, making the most of the resortâs excellent dining options.
Day 3: Relaxing and Returning Home
On the final morning, we had a relaxing breakfast, took some last-minute photos to capture the memories, and then packed up to return home. It was a short yet fulfilling trip that left us refreshed and inspired.
