Welcome to our site!

We are a family living in sunny Singapore (South-East Asia), a small island country. In 2023, we became paw-parents to a maltipoo and now, she participates in our weekend activities around Singapore.

Travel.Snap.Stories Blog documents our family explorations in foreign countries and locally in Singapore. Through travel, we widen our horizons and educate our children so they could learn from experiencing, than just reading from books and media.

Writing about our travels started in 2009 on our family blog but they grew too much. We thus moved all our travel entries to this travel blog in April 2013. Hence, you might see some blog posts that are dated long ago.

Why Travel.?

There are so many things in the world we have not seen nor experience and we intend to live a richer life by doing so. We travel to these new places in a foreign country to take in the beauty of nature, to admire the architecture, to experience the culture, people and food. We love to learn about ‘what’s out there?’

We wanted this to be a holding place for all our memories and moments recorded from our explorations locally and overseas.

We planned all our overseas trips and travel by ourselves so we learnt plenty of things along the way. We are not back-packers however as we still prefer our little comforts in a foreign country and we try to be as safe as possible due to our little ones. Therefore, no adventurous trips for us to exotic places! However, we try to take public transport, eat local food and talk to local people when it is possible, to experience the local stuff.

Since 2001, we had travelled once or twice a year to overseas and been to many countries and a number of cities and states. From the initial travels as a couple to a family with a boy and a girl, we are still working on dotting our footsteps across the globe.

During the weekends, we explore Singapore places which we had not been to or just do some outdoor activities. Most of the time, our little doggie will be with us, sniffing around.

Snap. –

Taking photographs in a journalistic way is an important part of our travels. We love to document the places, surroundings, experiences and what we do to make the travel experience even more memorable.

Cat handles the composing and editing of photographs in this blog and uploads to social media.

Stories. –

We write to share our experiences and those little encounters we had while travelling in a foreign country. The people we met, the food we ate, the things we found interesting and even the mistakes we took. They are precious memories with our children to be recorded for us to reminisce.
