About Idle Tradventures

#1 Why This Blog

1. Many of our trip memories get mashed together. Was it Florence or Siena that has a large square where chariots used to race? (It was Siena) Writing about our trips can help us remember better.

2. Pre-trip stuff like planning, researching, and the anticipation form part of the travel experience. We can extend our travel experience with post-trip stuff too! And we think it will be fun to share them with you too!

3. Friends come to us for trip inspirations and recommendations. We already did considerable planning for our trips, but it was in a raw form that works only for us. Hopefully the resources we tidy up and put together here is more useful - Something you can just take and go, without the need to do the work of planning. For example, this map of the places we visited during our 3 days in Toronto & Niagara.

#2 Who Are We

We are your average “older-millennials” based in Singapore, a tiny island City in South East Asia, and most (>97%) of us here are not Crazy Rich Asians 😄. But, we are fortunate enough to be able to hit pause on city-living to explore the world twice or thrice a year.

It is nice to travel and experience different seasons 🌸☀🍂❄, Singapore only has 1 season all year round - Shopping season 🤣. We love Singapore, and find ourselves yearning for home after a long trip. The more we travel, the more we appreciate what we have back home. Singapore is a great place to live, work, and visit. We plan to write about this, and showcase Singapore🇸🇬 to the world.

We have travelled to over 30 countries, many more cities/towns/villages, and will continue to explore new sights, sounds, and food for many years to come. Hopefully we can curate our trips and local experiences for this blog so that it is useful to you, our friends, and future selves.
