Hi, I’m Colin, a long-time resident of Singapore who’s deeply in love with everything this modern, dynamic city has to offer. What I find most fascinating about Singapore is how it’s both a bustling cosmopolitan hub and a city rich in history, with plenty of hidden gems to find. One of my favorite things to do is explore the endless variety of food options. Whether it’s laksa, satay, or chicken rice, I’m always on the hunt for the next great meal. When I’m not enjoying the food scene, I love visiting museums and galleries in the Civic District, where Singapore’s rich heritage and history come to life through art and cultural exhibits. I can offer visitors a unique perspective on the city's development, the stories behind its iconic buildings, and how it continues to balance progress with tradition. If you’re looking for a local host who knows the ins and outs of Singapore’s history, architecture, and, of course, food, I’d be thrilled to show you around!
