About Tour Guide Richard K.
Hey! I am Richard, your fully licensed tourist guide here in Singapore.
I started as a volunteer guide with the Sisters' Island Marine Park while working in the corporate world. In 2018, after working in the financial sector for more than 20 years, I took the plunge and listened to my heart to pursue this interest and passion as a full time role.
A nature enthusiast at core - I specialize as a nature guide in 2019 which strong focus in the marine environment and offshore islands. Though I am not a scientist by practice, I put in alot effort into researching marine creatures and share my practical experiences with professionals in this field. I am also a part of several conservation teams in intertidal surveys to safeguard our marine environment.
I am also well informed in the country's heritage, history and offshore islands. As a local, I will bring you off the beaten track and explore the hidden treasures of Singapore with you!
I am open to cutomized tours to suit your needs.

"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).

I am a passionate biophiliac since I was a child. I am a specialist nature guide and educator since 1994 to the present, based in Singapore. My place of work is in the amazing bio-diversed rainforest, mangrove and coastal forests of my tropical island home of Singapore. I look forward to showing our unique wildlife and ecosystems to you!
