Hello Wanderlusters, Dreamers, and Travellers!
We are a travel-loving couple from the sunny island of Singapore, located just one-and-a-half degrees north of the equator at the southern tip of Malaysia. Our home may be small — only 743.3 square kilometres — but our curiosity for the world is boundless! With our tallest “mountain” standing at a modest 164 metres, we can’t help but feel the itch to leave our beautiful island and explore the vastness of the world beyond.
And there’s more! We refused to be sucked into the rat race that typifies our peers in a competitive country like ours. We do not subscribe to spending the bulk of our energetic years to working like a cog in a machine. We wish to collect memories, not things. We have no wish to spend the bulk of our day working to amass things we don’t even care about, so that we can impress others. Nope such a lifestyle is not for us! We have our fair share of travels trying to max out our leave by secretly ‘fighting’ and booking our leave dates to coincide with major public holidays so that we can maximise the number of days for travel.
Hence Our Travel Footprints!
Our home Singapore: So much more!
You might know Singapore for our world-class Changi Airport or the luxurious Singapore Airlines. But we’re so much more! If you ever visit our Little Red Dot (because that’s what we are on the world map), be sure to partake in our vibrant and diverse food scene. While we are thankful for the comforts of home, there’s nothing quite like experiencing other cultures to truly gain a deeper appreciation for our own.
Our Blog: A Tapestry of Travel Tales
Here’s a quote that resonated deeply with me, “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time.” In Our Travel Footprints, we believe in collecting memories, not things, weaving stories from every corner of the globe while we’re at it.
Here’s what you’ll find:
– Personal travel stories: Adventures and misadventures from around the world
– Diverse experiences: From motorcycle journeys, horse-riding in Cuba, camel rides in the Tunisian desert, to any mode of transport – we love them all!
– Off-the-beaten-path discoveries: We love leaving our footprints where few have tread
– Iconic attractions: Because let’s face it, Machu Picchu and the Great Wall of China are famous for good reasons!
– Cultural deep dives: Chatting with locals, savouring local cuisine, and peeling back layers of culture
– Sustainable travel: Where and how to leave only footprints and a lower impact on the places we visit, geographically and otherwise
– Practical travel tips: Navigate the world with ease using our hard-earned travel wisdom
Why We Travel
Our travel philosophy involves:
– Venturing into the unfamiliar
– Embracing the unknown and the unfamiliar, be it places, food, activities, or people
– Feeding that insatiable wanderlust
– Ticking off bucket list dreams
– Charting our own paths while empowering you to formulate your own trails
Follow Our Travel Footprints
If you, too, have “itchy feet”, a thirst for adventure, and uncovering the unfamiliar, the unknown or even the uncomfortable, you’re in the right place! Be it discovering somewhere new, sampling local cuisines, diving headfirst into domestic activities and culture, we invite you to come along.
As one of our favourite travel quotes reminds us:
Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines! Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover!
So let us inspire you to take that first step towards feeding your insatiable wanderlust, tick off your travel bucket list and create your own trails and memories along the way.
Join Our Journey!
The world is vast, and the more we travel, the more we realize how much there is to discover. We hope the stories we share not only entertain but also help you navigate your travels with ease and confidence. Be part of our journey as we leave our travel footprints all over the globe.
