GREETINGS FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA!!!

If Singapore was not on your must-visit list I need you to add it ASAP! I’ve been here for the last week and have fallen head over heels for this immaculate, safe, futuristic city/state.

Let me back up and catch you up to speed.

I am here on this trip entirely thanks to Singapore Airlines & TravelCon. I won 2 Premium Economy tickets in 2019 when I attended the conference and took this photo at the airline’s photobooth - you can check out the entire story on my Singapore IG story highlight. This trip was supposed to happen in 2020 and as most pandemic travel stories go…we had to postpone (thank you Singapore Airlines for still honoring our tickets!!).

Now, more than 3 years later this trip finally happened and OMG I am obsessed with this destination!!

This was by far one of the longest direct flights I have ever taken - 17 + hours but shockingly - the flight was truly not that bad (said from a Premium Economy Seat lol). The jetlag however is a whole other story lol.

Immediately upon arrival the airport blew me away with how efficient & streamlined the immigration and baggage collection process was. Heck, even the bathrooms smelled like the inside of a Parisian perfume shop. You already know about the amazing Jewel (the waterfall in the airport) and the many futuristic sites in Singapore - the Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay Sands hotel - but what truly captivated me was th melting pot of cultures that make up this tiny country.

One of the best ways to grasp all the different communities that make up Singapore (in my opinion) would be through a food tour - and this half-day tour was truly the BEST way to see and understand the many cultures that make Singapore what it is. ALSO - you have to watch me eat the world’s smelliest fruit haha this video is going viral on my feed and I tend to think this might have something to do with it.

All in all this trip has been incredible and there’s still so much I have yet to share but the best place to watch it all is of course on my Instagram.
