Once upon a time, there’s a little girl named Shirley…

Shirley - Writer of Pulau Langkawi Travel Guide

My name is Shirley. I’m 22 years old and I grew up in Langkawi. I’m currently a university student, doing Bachelor of Commerce with Deakin University, and I’m majoring in Marketing and Economics. I’m a food lover, enjoy reading, blogging, traveling and am passionate in photography.

One morning, I turned on my computer to check my emails, without expecting to receive any emails from anyone except those annoying junk mails which I would delete straight away with resentment.

Before opening my first email that day, I took a quick scan along the list of unread mails and that’s when my eyes stopped at an unfamiliar name ‘Nicholas’. “Who on earth is Nicholas? I don’t know any Nicholas. Can this be a scam?” I thought to myself. My instinct told me not to open it, but my guts told me otherwise. Without hesitation, I opened the email from a stranger out of curiosity. A friendly greeting of “Hi Shirley got me wanted to read further. “This guy even knows my name!”

Nicholas invited me to join a4trip as a writer of their guidebook for Pulau Langkawi. Before I made my decision, I visited the website that was provided by Nicholas, to check out what sort of company it was. Despite being uncertain whether it was a genuine invitation, I replied to Nicholas and agreed to his offer. People say that curiosity kills. But, not all the time. I’m glad that I made that reply and now here I am, a proud member of a4trip!

I believe that a great effort will bear a fruitful success. Although a4trip is a newly established company, I believe it will grow as time passes. It’s their sincerity, helpfulness, the love for animals, kindness and friendliness that made me fascinated with their attempt to maximize profits while maintaining the closeness between members.

I see a4friends as a group of nice and friendly people with passions, who are doing what they can to help the company move forward. Besides showing love to the endangered species, this community also devote their time and energy to charity such as donating money to the victims who suffer from the tragedy of Sichuan earthquake. I see a4friends as not only a team that strives for a goal, but also a big family consisting of members from every corner of the world.

Since a4trip is based online, I would suggest a4trip to be advertised in blogs of the members. In order to spread the word of a4trip, it can be done through sponsored blogs or voluntary blogs. Further, reviews from buyers who have used our guidebooks would be a valuable source to win over the hearts of other potential buyers.

It’s a great pleasure to be part of a4trip family. It feels like home…
