"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new sights, but in looking with new eyes" by Marcel Proust has increasingly shaped my travel approach in recent years. When I recall my most memorable overseas trip experiences, the highlight is often not a mainstream tourist attraction, but a serendipitous encounter off the beaten path. I hope to guide you to your serendipitous encounter. I love to travel ... my style is to spend more time with authentic local neighbourhoods visiting local markets, and shops, speaking to locals (language permitting), blending in (try!) and engaging in the daily activities of the locals. This also shaped my guiding approach; I seek to unearth local stories, unwritten practices, nuances of community dynamics, unique botanical features etc. (not regurgitate info from Google search results). I am equally comfortable discussing policy & governance comparisons, explaining municipal matters, sharing cultural nuances, tracing historical developments or pointing out minutiae like a tile design, a leaf's drip tip, an orchid's sepal. In my free time, I enjoy exploring, learning and sharing insights about this little island of Singapore. I attended UIUC in Illinois, USA for 3 years, worked for a German MNC for 5 years helped coordinate a 100 pax orphanage project in Indonesia for 12 years, so I am passionate with learning and sharing about different cultures. I am an adult educator at a polytechnic in the evening and enjoy guiding during my free time in the mornings. I have been a heritage guide since 2016 and have developed over 15 unique walking tours and clocked over 100 tours for schools, churches, seniors and other social groups. I am also a tourist guide licensed by STB (Singapore Tourism Board).

Overview of your Singapore tour

Good morning, as we start you will notice the soft morning light illuminating the housing estate’s carefully planned layout, each block is with common areas where residents gather and interact. As we stroll, keep an eye out for the lush green spaces where you will find early risers engaging in qigong or tachi. At the wet market, we will discuss the catch of the day with the fishmonger and peruse the butcher’s meat cuts. Then we will proceed for a cup of kopi or soy milk with a fresh roll from the bakery's oven. As the community starts coming to life …parents walk their children to school, the traffic warden pauses the traffic with a wave of his gloved hand and cleaners sweep the verge with their coconut brooms. Then, we will reach a 50ha urban park to spot magpie robins looking for insects as the morning light glistens through the gentle stream. May the mindful walk open your eyes to the minutiae often overlooked, and rekindle our sense of awe and with gratitude for the little things that we encounter.
