Profile details

About

Freelance travel writer, full-time travel enthusiast. Calls Singapore home but usually found exploring off-the-beaten-path places, sipping whiskey, playing golf or all of the above.

Travel style

Being a long-time spontaneous traveler myself means checking out lesser-known places of interest and uncovering some pretty unique gems not often found in the typical Top 10 listicles. It also means being flexible in planning and quick to adapt to sudden changes during travel – airport strike anyone? Extremely adaptable/flexible travel style – luxe or budget, adventure or chill, ‘Top 10 Popular Things To Do’ vs. ‘Top 10 New Things To Do’!
