Pretty exciting stuff when the city you live in is awarded the very prestigious title of #1 Travel Destination for 2015 by Lonely Planet. Also exciting because it means I get a visit from my cousin who is their Marketing Director for Asia Pacific, (shameless family plug). Check out the article and the video here. Channel News Asia - Singapore #1 Destination
Here's my top 5 reasons why you should visit Singapore!
Enrichment - Travel broadens the mind and inspires the soul and one thing traveling to Singapore will do is open your mind to a different way of living and a different set of values.

Food - So many tasty delights. Chilli crab, pepper crab, Kaya toast, best raman I've ever had, fresh sugar cane juice, Chinese sweet buns. The list goes on, you may need a size up in jeans once you're through.
Chilli crab, want to eat this now!
Island hopping - Singapore is central and so close to a lot of other destinations. Thailand, Bali, Borneo, the Philippines are only a few hours away and return flights are a few hundred dollars on a good day.

We went to India in June, amazing!
Soak up the sun - Singapore is on the equator so it's true when people say it's hot all the time. The warmth of the sun is a glorious feeling and hanging by the pool when you know your friends and family are shoveling snow is a deviously fun feeling.

Evolving industry - Singapore's professional industry is quickly growing with lots of new and existing businesses setting up shop here. This means there's a lot of opportunity to travel to Singapore for work which is great because you are going to need some cash for all the eating and jet-setting you're going to want to do.
