Featuring 160 ‘secret’ spots in Singapore, Secret Singapore is a guide on which I had the pleasure of working on with Heidi Sarna.
Secret Singapore was among the best selling non-fiction titles in Singapore following its launch in 2020 – not bad for a travel guide!
If you are in Singapore, you may purchase them directly from me.

This country is filled with so many foreigners, sometimes I find it so hard to breathe and move around without bumping into people, thanks for the recommendation Jerome, glad u have a place to find some evening calm and quiet time.
What’s nice about Singapore is that, despite its rapid urbanisation over the years, there still are many places in which one can find an escape in, and many that await discovery. 🙂
This is why I subscribe to your blog, Look forward to more recommendations from you, my friend!
Thanks for the support! 🙂
