My passion in guiding comes from my love in traveling over 30 cities and living in 7 cities in Europe and Asia, meeting different people. I am both trained by professional Singapore Tourism Board and heritage associations. I believe one the best ways to know something intimate about a place is to be with a local. I promise to give you a 5 -senses tour experience of taste, smell, touch, sight and hearing and share secrets and folktales that only a native knows. And I am indeed a mini Singapore as my family is of Malay- Chinese-Indian and European heritage so I live and breathe all 4 races.
