Great City to explore. An Overall really safe place. Accomodation is expensive, but Food can be cheap and delicious in the Hawker Centers. Drinks in the evening are mostly expensive as well, especially in some rooftop bars, but it's worth it🤭

I had a great experience. It was a good size for seeing around in short time. People are kind. City is clean. Food is tasty. Only bad point is that many things are more expensive. But you can get affordable price and tasty food at hookers.

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.

I loved traveling to Singapore, I've stayed there for an exchange experience as a student and it was just amazing. Definitely recommend mala food if you like spicy food and definitely try indian food and don't forget to try kaya toast with egg for breakfast! Also, my favorite area was kampong glam, but overall I enjoyed Singaporean contrasts.

Singapore is one of the best places for food I’ve ever been. It’s such an interesting mixed culture. Also, the airport is amazing!!

Safety: I was the minority mostly everywhere I went but I never felt threatened or disrespected if I needed help the locals were willing to help me. Recommendations: I loved Singapore. Everything was so beautiful and green but it was very very hot so it was worthless to do hair or makeup. I traveled alone and spent most days alone exploring. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Singapore has some of the most incredible museums. The Art Science museum was incredible! Super fun! Cloud Forest was so unique and spectacular! Make sure you take a stroll through Gardens by the Bay. Make sure you also go during dark. It's all lit up! And go to the top of Marina Bay Sands.

Very safe for solo female travellers, like you can literally leave your laptop in a cafe, go to the toilet, and no one would take it. Not much to do for a long trip so try to make it a short one. You can spend a day in sentosa and maybe 1-2 days exploring all the other tourist attractions. It’s pretty expensive to eat around these tourist areas though, especially restaurants. Opt for hawkers centres, food courts, and coffee shops for more affordable dining!
Posted: October 12, 2023A 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.
Posted: May 22, 2023Go to Sentosa and walk along the beaches. Depending on when you are there, check out a festival or art show, and also check out a few rooftop bars, walk around Marina Bay, go to Gardens by the Bay at night and walk through Tiong Bahru. Singapore is amazing, I used to live there.

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

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
