Singapore

Singapore’s skyline is lined with towering skyscrapers that rise majestically alongside the tranquil waters of the ocean, creating a striking juxtaposition of urban sophistication against natural beauty. Yet, amidst the gleaming glass facades, brightly colored historical buildings and ornate temples add a touch of old-world charm to the cityscape. This harmonious coexistence of contemporary and traditional elements is what makes Singapore truly special, and a truly dynamic place to explore.

Sentosa is an island just off the southern coast of Singapore.

Singaporeans joke that "Sentosa" stood for "So Expensive and Nothing T See Actually". Well, it's still expensive (with some free activities), but there are so many attractions. You could easily spend three days in Sentosa, if you are interested in its attractions.

Singapore is the gateway to so many destinations in Asia. I was lucky enough to kick off my Honeymoon with a three-night stay at the Four Seasons Singapore in December 2023. The staff curates a high-end personalized experience from arrival through departure with local recommendations, food selections to please every palate and luxury amenities. No matter what brings you to Singapore, the Four Seasons Hotel is an excellent choice. Reach out to me to book your upcoming trip!

A dynamic city at the crossroads of cultures, Singapore is a place where tradition and modernity intertwine seamlessly. This diversity is most evident in its food scene, where Chinese, Indian and Malay influences blend to create a unique culinary tapestry. Having grown up in Singapore, I’ve seen firsthand its evolution into a forward-thinking metropolis that champions sustainability while preserving its deep cultural roots. No longer just a transit hub, Singapore is a destination brimming with immersive experiences for every traveler.

I have a passion for curating unique trips, and one thing I've learned is that travel plans often evolve along the way. Originally, the focus of this journey was Malaysia — a country I've only briefly explored, having flown through Kuala Lumpur (KL) a few times, with previous stays in Langkawi and northern Borneo. But as any seasoned traveler knows, the itinerary can take on a life of its own. We decided to kick off in Singapore, a familiar city we've visited a few times before, but this time with a twist. I’d always been intrigued by the nearby islands, so Bintan in Indonesia — just an hour's ferry ride from Singapore — was a natural choice for our second stop. From there, it was on to KL, and finally, a nostalgic return to the beautiful island of Langkawi. This time, though, I’ll be revisiting the same resort I stayed at 23 years ago. It feels like coming full circle!

Singapore holds a special place in my heart as a family traveler due to its abundance of luxury properties offering unparalleled comfort. The city's diverse culinary scene satisfies every palate, with flavors from around the globe tantalizing taste buds. From thrilling theme parks like Universal Studios to kid-friendly destinations like the enchanting Gardens by the Bay, the interactive Singapore Zoo and the magical Sentosa Island, Singapore offers endless entertainment for both kids and adults. With its efficient infrastructure and myriad attractions, planning and touring this vibrant city is effortlessly delightful, ensuring cherished memories for the whole family.

Exploring Raffles Singapore is a journey through time — a place where history, elegance and impeccable hospitality converge. This iconic hotel, originally opened in 1887, remains one of Singapore’s most celebrated landmarks. During my recent site visit, I experienced the rich legacy of Raffles Singapore and witnessed firsthand how it balances tradition with contemporary luxury.
