Where are you from and when did you move to Singapore?
I am from England and moved to Singapore in 2008 as my husband decided to take on an opportunity here.
First impressions about Singapore?
I had visited Singapore prior to moving over and I still remember the first time the doors opened at Changi airport, I felt a gush of hot and humid air which is something I had never experienced before. I was mesmerized by the feel of the tropics and it was love at first sight!
What's your favorite thing about Singapore?
I love the buzz in Singapore, there are so many places to eat, drink and shop! I am also really fascinated by the architecture of shop houses and overall culture in Asia.
Favorite weekend getaways?
Love, love, love Bali!!!This is my ultimate getaway, the boutique hotels and restaurants are always interesting for me, I am always distractedby the interiors and shopping for Interior accessories (the above photo is me shopping in Bali!). Not to forget the spas, another favorite part of the trip :)
What's the best part about being an Expat here?
The excitement of meeting new friends and connections especially fellow female entrepreneurs. It’s very encouraging to see so many women achieving great success in Singapore. I am really grateful for the opportunities I have come across in Singapore which has allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming an Interior Designer!
