Introducing Helolokal’s pioneering hosts!
This inaugural feature about our pioneering hosts holds a special place in our hearts.
At Helolokal, although we are an open travel experiences marketplace for the public, we meticulously select our guides to ensure that they deliver truly unforgettable encounters.
Meeting our hosts, the trailblazers of our platform, isn’t an everyday occurrence.
When we discovered that they had some free time for a quick chat on the same day, we decided to make the most of it. Hence, we quickly put together an introductory video so that our guests could also “meet” them.
DISCOVER MELAKA AT YOUR OWN PACE
Meet Kamal, who not only manages one but THREE listings on our platform.
His expertise lies in educational tours (on foot) within the quaint town of Melaka, where he spent his formative years.
- Discover the Cultural and Historical Wonders of Melaka: An Educational Expedition (For Research & University Students)
- Explore Malacca’s Rich Heritage (For International Travelers)
- Baba Nyonya Culture: Adventure along Melaka’s Old Street (For Malaysia Domestic Traveler)
Originally from Melaka, Kamal is a seasoned tour guide. Impacted by the aftermath of the pandemic and finding it economically challenging to balance his roles as a husband and father, he sought job opportunities in the bustling city of Kuala Lumpur.
It was his innate passion for people and his hospitable nature that swiftly landed him a job.
Expressing his longing to return to his true passion as a full-time guide one day, he ventured into Helolokal to showcase his services.
Alongside his close friends, who are also seasoned guides in Melaka, they joined forces to offer remarkable tours to visitors.
