Their expedition around Peninsular Malaysia is part of the Life On Air initiative, and over the course of September and October, the duo will be flying over nine states in the Peninsular to create awareness among youngsters about hot air balloons and hosting balloon workshops. They've completed Terengganu and Pahang and are heading to Perak from 21st to 24th September.

The idea for the expedition was birthed while the sisters were pursuing their hot air balloon piloting license in Spain. Along with their instructor, the duo managed to see many parts of Spain that others did not and realised the same could be done in Malaysia. There were many states that they've yet to explore and what better way to take in your surroundings than with a hot air balloon ride?
