Travel
Growing up in the tiny island-city-state of Singapore, driving more than 30 minutes meant carrying a passport. My first exposure to travel came when I was selected for the Singapore National Track & Field Team. Running in international competitions meant spending time in numerous Asian countries (e.g., Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, India) starting at age 14. These early experiences fueled my lifelong passion for travel. I love going to new places, seeing new things, eating new foods, and meeting new people. Combining all of this with my love of scuba and photography, I personally now lead about 4-5 dive trips per year (see upcoming trips below), as well as book individualized ad-hoc trips for divers all over the world.
