The vibrant city-state of Singapore is nestled at the tip of the Malay Peninsula. This tiny island nation is a harmonious blend where tradition meets modernity. Singapore has a captivating history and rich cultural heritage that is celebrated through its diverse blend of ethnicities, languages, and religions, but most importantly its food! Singaporean food has many influences from around the world but  Malaysia, Indonesia, China, India, and the UK. It sounds so random but it's the best amalgamation of cuisines from all those countries and more. What's particularly great about Singapore is eating out is actually very cheap! Singapore is known for its Hawker Centers, think a food court but without the dodgy food, where you can usually try Singapore's best-known dishes. You have to try Hainanese Chicken Rice, Nasi Goreng, Roti Parata, Char Kuey Teow but feel free to branch out from my favorites.  I first visited Singapore when I was 6-months old. My dad was born and raised in Singapore. Whenever we go, it's one big food tour ensuring that we eat our favorites at least one time before departing. Here are some of our go-to spots, in addition to a few other places that are highly rated that I haven't had the chance to visit yet. This guide focuses on my recommendations for the best food and drinks in the Lion City but as always, I'm happy to help you plan a custom itinerary for your trip to Singapore! Just reach out to me directly (:

I have visited Ireland at least once a year of my 27 years and in more recent years, I have opted to fly in through Dublin because the flights are significantly cheaper and way more frequent than to Shannon. As a result, I tend to have a day or two in Dublin on either end of my trip to see friends, family, and the wonderful city of Dublin! I had all my Dublin recommendations in various Notes on my phone for the longest time. Since we're getting married in Ireland in May 2024, I thought it was as good a time as ever to compile all my recommendations and some other people's recommendations (thank you Kenzie, Shannon and Greg) into one Local-ish Guide to Dublin for our guests traveling to Ireland. Dublin is Ireland's capital and largest city on the island's east coast. The River Liffey (or the Sniffy Liffey as my Auntie Sandy calls it) runs right through the center of the city dividing it into Northside and Southside, and out to Dublin Bay which feeds into the Irish Sea. Dublin, which translates to "black pool" in Irish, was founded just south of the Liffey by the Vikings in 841. Ever since Dublin has endured a turbulent history but has prevailed and been shaped into the 21st-century city it is today. At the very end of this document is an overview of language(s), currency, climate, live weather, the best time to visit, public transportation, what to pack, and of course, travel tips! As always, I'm happy to help you plan a custom itinerary for your trip to Dublin or the rest of Ireland! Just reach out to me directly (:
