About Tour Guide Stella S.
Greetings from sunny Singapore!
I was born in Singapore, and I grew up along with Singapore, witnessing the transformation of this little island I call home. As I grew, I have discovered that though this island in the sun is small, it is filled to the brim with nature, history, culture, unique foods and stories which even I, as a Singaporean, am amazed by, and I'm eager to share with others who come to visit.
I love exploring the world, and my favourite holidays involve taking time to experience the country that I'm visiting, meeting the locals, trying the local food, and being immersed in the local culture, history, and beauty of the landscape. This is the wonder that I hope to share with my tourist-friends who come to visit Singapore.
So, when you come to Singapore, I'd love to introduce you to our rich nature, multicultural heritage, people, history, and food. Despite being a tiny country, we have so much to offer beyond the usual tourist highlights like the Marina Bay Sands, Universal Studios Singapore, or the zoo. I would like to share with you the wonder of the world-renowned tourist sights, and also the extraordinary in the ordinary places of Singapore! To enable you to experience Singapore like a local even if for a few hours.
Come and discover Singapore with me!
