Experience one of the world's last nomadic seafaring cultures among the Bajau people, who've lived on the water for centuries in traditional stilt houses and houseboats. These 'sea gypsies' maintain ancient traditions of free-diving, boat-building, and marine navigation in the coral reefs around Malaysian Borneo. Visiting their floating villages offers a glimpse into a disappearing way of life that's both fascinating and humbling.
