About me

Hi! I'm a 30-year-old lady who's so into travelling. However, being brown, it's not that easy convincing my parents about travelling solo unless she can be certain I am in good hands. Just seeing how this app can help me out! In any ways, I'd love to host on days that I am around in SG. However, I noticed this app lags quite frequently. Hence, if you need me, I am merely a Telegram text away! @tamtoomi

About Me

hello! my name is weiqi and as a third culture kid, my childhood of living abroad and making friends from different nationalities has spurred my curiosity for travelling and meeting new people. I've since moved back to my home country (singapore), but I still itch to connect with people from around the world and visit their cultures and spaces. I enjoy sharing conversations over coffee, visiting museums and parks, or simply walking the streets of a new city on foot while taking in the sights and sounds of the local traffic, people, and energy

A sunny tropical island perfect for those who are escaping the winter season in their own countries! Lovely people and so much food that are cheap and good. Would definitely come back again although it’s expensive.

Solo travel experience

I felt very safe, I walked everywhere, late at night on my own, and never felt unsafe. Singapore isn’t cheap but everything is affordable. I ate at Hawker Centres which were very good for proper local cuisine.

Singapore is super safe but it is expensive. I stayed in hostels, ate mostly at markets, and had a great time.
