Google Maps is partnering with global editorial and cultural platform Service95 — alongside its founder, singer-songwriter Dua Lipa — to bring a more personal lens to travel discovery.
Known for her passport-stamped lifestyle and effortlessly curated recommendations, Dua is now sharing her favourite spots directly in Maps, complete with a custom Google Maps Pegman designed to accompany users on the journey.
Dua Lipa and Service95 have unveiled 12 curated Google Maps lists spotlighting some of her favourite destinations around the world. Each guide features personal recommendations, along with photos from Dua’s own camera roll, offering an intimate look at the places she returns to again and again.
From late-night tacos in Mexico City to candlelit date spots in Paris, the lists capture the spirit of travel through Dua’s distinctly personal lens.
Malaysia was mentioned!
In her list for her favourite bookstores from around the world sits Tintabudi Bookshop, located in TTDI Plaza, Kuala Lumpur.
Sharing on Tintabudi, Dua explained that the bookshop holds a special place in her heart as it carries a strong selection of Southeast Asian literature and that its creative space is paramount in championing reading culture in Kuala Lumpur.
“Tintabudi in Kuala Lumpur is a beautiful independent bookshop and creative space doing something important for the reading culture of the city. The selection of Southeast Asian literature is particularly strong,” she wrote.
Not the first time Tintabudi was highlighted
Back in March 2026, Dua Lipa’s Book Club named Tintabudi as her ‘Indie Bookshop of the Month’ thanks to their passion and efforts in nurturing the habit of reading as well as building interpersonal bonds through public lectures and workshops.
“In addition to their thoughtful curation of titles, Tintabudi takes their love of reading beyond the bookshelves, creating a space for their community to discuss books, listen to public lectures and be part of hands-on workshops,” she shared.
