Where are you from and when did you move to Singapore?

 
I moved from Switzerland to Singapore back in 2006 being pregnant with my son, Luca.

First impressions about Singapore?

 
As I arrived pregnant it took me a while to settle, largely because of the exotic new smells in hawker centers and streets (I lived in Katong which is full of restaurants and street food). The durian made an impression too! ;-) I can’t say I've developed a taste for it but, at least, I don’t have to run from it anymore. ;-) After about three months of hiding away, I started fully appreciating and loving the country and its people. What still amazes me is how green Singapore is and the beauty of its vegetation. Despite the heat I do enjoy walking or cycling down east coast park and stop for a refreshing coconut fix.

What’s your favorite thing about Singapore?

 
What I particularly love about Singapore is the sense of total safety. Been able to walk around or take a bus on your own after 8pm and feel safety is a luxury. I also like the wide range of different cuisines you can find island-wide.

Favorite weekend getaways?

 
I don’t do weekends away on a regular basis. As I do 3-4 long holidays a year I feel like staying put and enjoy Singapore while I am around. My main travel destinations are: Italy, UK, France, Japan and USA.

What’s the best part about being an Expat here?

 
The best part of being an Expat here is that I don’t feel like I am an expat. I have friends from all over the world and after over 8 years here, I think of Singapore as my home. It’s where I like to come back after a long trip.
