SINGAPORE - HOLIDAY in 2008 A Travel Blog Experience

My relationship with Singapore has unfolded over nearly three decades of travelling, filming, and documenting my journeys online. What began as a simple stopover on long‑haul trips to Australia gradually became one of my most familiar and frequently revisited destinations. In the early years, Singapore was primarily Changi Airport to me — a place of smooth connections, clever design, and the kind of efficiency that made travel feel effortless. But with each return, I found myself drawn further into the city beyond the terminals.

Across my KHWD travel sites, you can see that evolution clearly. My early notes focus on the novelty of passing through one of the world’s best airports, but over time my trips expanded into the heart of Singapore: Marina Bay’s futuristic skyline, the cultural layers of Chinatown and Little India, the green corridors threading through the city, and the ever‑changing attractions that make every visit feel new. I’ve captured these experiences through photos, long‑form diaries, and now video.

The YouTube playlist reflects that shift too. It’s a mix of walking tours, food explorations, airport guides, and city snapshots — mirroring how my own travels moved from quick transits to deeper, more curious wanderings. Each clip adds another layer to the story I’ve been telling across my websites: a Singapore where tradition and modernity sit side by side, where hawker centres are as memorable as skyline views, and where I always seem to find something different each time I return.

Singapore has become more than a destination for me. It’s a recurring chapter in my wider travel story — a place I’ve grown with, documented, and revisited as both a traveller and a digital archivist, capturing its changes alongside my own.

It is especially loved by me as our youngest son and family live there as well as it being a convenient half way house to Antipodean lands, also special to both of us.
