Walks, in Singapore? Ey? I know, madness but yes, the rumors are true! You can find some pretty awesome places here to get you working up a sweat (because we don’t do that enough), along with incredible views.

Life After Lockdown
Ah, normality… what a distant memory you are. I say that but don’t think for a second I’m not grateful to be out of ‘lockdown’. It’s weird to say the least, the feeling of restraint freedom after 3 long months and it’s safe to say our pre-COVID19 life is something we won’t go back to …
Life In Lockdown
I know I’m a bit late to the party but let’s face it, going into lockdown (circuit breaker) because of a global pandemic isn’t exactly motivational when it comes to writing. Saying that, I still wanted to capture our experience over the last 3 months here in Singapore and what I did to attempt to …

After having lived in a serviced apartment for nearly 6 weeks, which is common for many when being relocated with a company, we …
Christmas In Bali
Another year, another Christmas. How have we got to 2020 already?! Okay I say that every year, but time really does need to slow down. This year, with us being away from family and friends, we thought we would do Christmas a little differently. As we are so close to so many parts of Asia, …
We’re moving to Singapore!
Just another one of your average days where your boyfriend turns to you and says “Fancy moving to Singapore?” Back in June 2019, this idea seemed liked a distant fantasy, brushing it off as initially I guess neither of us ever believed it would actually happen.
