Singapore Adventure: Top Sights, Local Favorites, and Tips

singapore

Singapore has been on my travel bucket list for as long as I can remember, and finally getting to explore it was everything I hoped for and more. I was lucky to have a friend show me around, which made experiencing this beautiful city even better. Everything felt so clean, organized, and the people were incredibly friendly.

I was fascinated by the culture, the way it’s shared so openly with visitors, and the mix of city life, nature, entertainment, and food- it really has the whole package. Even with all the action and excitement, I felt completely safe the entire trip. Writing this now makes me want to go back immediately!
