En route on our cross-continental move from Singapore to London, we conveniently lined up a vacation to Italy. But it was far more than just a stopover for a pair of frequent fliers. Rather, it was a trip that had been in the making for over a year with Jeff’s nine-person deep family in celebration of his dad’s 60th birthday. This getaway was significant on… View Post
My Three Most-Trusted Travel Guides
The approach I take to planning a trip is slightly neurotic and pretty time consuming. But the truth is…I absolutely love doing it. I relish in the challenge of leaving no corner of the Internet unturned as I seek out the best hotels, restaurants, sights, and shops in any one destination. Because the blood, sweat, and tears that go… View Post
Florence, Italy: Local Intel
Florence will always hold a very special place in my heart as I spent a semester there ‘studying’ abroad. With each return visit, it never fails to lose any of its luster and old world charm. Any first-timer’s trip to Italy is certainly not complete without a stopover in this majestic city. Here is my hit list for Florence, Italy… View Post
A Proper British Countryside Wedding
Ever since my first viewing of the brilliant rom-com Four Weddings and a Funeral (of which hundreds would follow), I have fantastized about attending a proper British countryside wedding. I yearned to witness each and every element of these seemingly-majestic fetes: the old church, the hats and waistcoats, the moody weather, the understatedly gorgeous venue, the blushing blonde bride, and the quirky guests. Of course… View Post
When It’s More Than Just a Fling
We’ve all been there. I’m sure you can quickly recall that one young love. At first your crush seems utterly and completely all wrong. They’re certainly not the type you normally go for but…what the heck. For some time you go along thinking, ‘It’s nothing serious,’ and ‘We’re just having fun.’ But then you fall…hard. And you realize that what you’ve fallen into is… View Post
Putting The Cherry On Top in Hoi An, Vietnam
August brought some of our final weeks in Singapore. Nonetheless, we couldn’t let a four-day weekend pass us by without a final jaunt away from the Little Red Dot. As Singapore was celebrating its 50th birthday, we opted to commemorate our own Singaporean experience. And what better way than leaving??? Yes, it was a bit counterintuitive, but we were looking to… View Post
Langkawi’s Best Souvenir Money Can’t Buy
Loyal Readers: My most sincere apologies that there has been little action on The Singapore Fling these past few months. Jeff and I have been slightly tied up moving halfway across the world, finding a new home, starting new jobs, etc. etc. etc. – more to come on that front in a later post. And, not to worry faithful followers– The Singapore… View Post
Phun with Phriends in Phu Quoc
As the title of this post suggests, a weekend away with a gaggle of friends in Phu Quoc, Vietnam was pure laughs and silliness. The good vibes were contagious as really there is nothing not to be happy about in Phu Quoc. Does this not look like one of the cheeriest places one Earth? But as such, there’s not much… View Post
Kyoto: The Crowded King of Culture
On the second leg of our Japan tour, Jeff and I scooted down to Japan’s cultural mecca, Kyoto. On and off since the 7thcentury, Kyoto has been the capital of Japan and as such it’s had plenty of time to stockpile cultural and historical gems. Today, Kyoto has no less than SEVENTEEN UNESCO heritage sites, SIXTEEN-HUNDRED Buddhist temples, and FOUR-HUNDRED Shinto shrines. Over… View Post
