Hello everyone! My name is Bino Chua. I started this portal in order to have a channel to share about some of the unique and amazing places I’ve had the opportunity to visit. With an ever growing number of options for the modern consumer, I thought that this site might help shed misconceptions and provide fresh ideas on things to do, exceptional places to stay, awesome food to try and spectacular attractions to witness at various locales including Singapore.
The Straits Times, The Business Times, Lonely Planet Magazine Asia, BBC, Huffington Post, Forbes, Reader’s Digest, Weekender, Matador Network, SilverKris Magazine and Cebu Pacific’s Smile Magazine have featured me as an authority in what I do.
Feel free to look around. I would be delighted to hear your comments. After all, engaging with readers like you is what this site is primarily about!
