New content – Secret Singapore

Last September I travelled to Singapore on assignment for Anyway. The magazine has a regular feature called MyPlace, which explores a city in the company of an expat showing us their adopted home. Our guide to Singapore was German designer Niko von Saurma who gave us insight into Singapore’s artistic and cultural life. I had been to Singapore previously and my original impression was of a giant air-conditioned shopping mall so I was surprised and pleased to discover a different side to the city.
I have now published the article here on Roaming Tales, and an accompanying city guide. Although I worked with a photographer for the magazine article, these are my own photographs.

Hi Caitlin. That was a great article. We had looked at Singapore as a place to stop over on the way to Australia, but I was put off because it seemed so modern and commercialized. Thanks for showing that there is a side to it that’s worth seeing.
It IS modern and commercialised but that’s not all there is to it. It’s worth visiting just for the food but the art scene was an unexpected treat. – Caitlin.
