Hello there! Welcome to today’s travel diaries. We’re getting into Asia’s smallest country where architecture and art blend seamlessly. A cultural melting-pot with a top economy. We’re talking Singapore!
But before we begin, this is part of a two and a half trip around South East Asia where my partner Jono and I traveled around a few countries. If you’re curious, I’ll leave you the links for each of the countries we traveled to where you can find a few tips and tricks and personal recommendations and experiences.

How did we got here?
We came down through the west coast of Malaysia and crossed the border on a bus. Fun fact: I overstayed 1 day in Malaysia (miscalculated) and we were held at immigration for a couple of hours. We missed our bus at the border but luckily the bus company runs very often and lets people who stays behind jump in the next bus, and that’s what we did.
