first time in singapore 🇸🇬 Changi Airport, Hawker Center, Chinatown, Supertree Light show

We're arriving in Singapore! My first time in South East Asia, my first time in this young country... On the way there, I started to read "From Third World to First" from Lee Kuan Yew (recognized as the founding father of the modern Singaporean state!) - I really recommend it if you'd like to learn more about this unique place!

In today's video: let me show you the most unbelievable airport in the world: Changi Airport! Then, let's jump into the MRT (super easy!) to check in at our hotel near Chinatown. It's time to try some kaya toast (delicious!) and explore the neighborhood around... and randomly stumble on the magnificient Buddha Tooth Relic Temple! The sky will clear just in time to get some dinner at Lau Pa Sat (my first hawker center!) before heading towards Gardens by the Bay. Let's end this amazing first day in Singapore by witnessing the amazing light show at the Supertree Grove 🎆

about me: 30-yo, born in France 🇫🇷 raised by Portuguese immigrants parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🇵🇹 I never had the chance to travel when I was younger so, as soon as I managed to save up some money, I took off 🛫 At 19yo, I moved to live and study for a year in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 At 22, I moved for an internship in Miami, USA 🇺🇸 before getting another opportunity to work and study in Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦 At 24, I did my last master degree semester as an exchanged student in São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷 Fell in love with the country, got a job, and been based in Rio de Janeiro ever since. After some personal health issues, I realized life is too short not to explore the world more… I’ve always loved documenting my days (journaling, scrapbooking) and knowing the next months would be full of travels, I thought, why not vlog it? I’m sure future-me will be very happy to look back at these videos! Hope you do too ☺️
