How are you doing friends? If you are starting to have insomnia (a sleeping disorder), exercising is one of the most effective natural remedies that you should try. However, for Malaysian, the first activity that came into our mind when we talk about exercising is jogging. And boy oh boy aren’t we all up for a treat this time. We are so thankful that Johor has a lot of nature-filled parks, and surprisingly most of them can serve as a stunning jogging route.

You will be rewarded with the pleasure of warm dusk scenery when you stay until sunset.
