20 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Singapore

Singapore is a futuristic urban center full of experiences around every corner. I spent 3 days in Singapore and it was just enough time to get a taste of this incredible city. The busy streets were filled with rich culture, unique architecture and of course, delicious food!

Gardens by the Bay was one of the highlights of my trip.

Walking through the futuristic forests felt like walking into another planet. This popular attraction is always busy so I recommend getting there about 15 minutes early so you’re among the first ones to purchase tickets for the Cloud Forest, which run at $28 SGD (about $21 USD) per person. The Supertree Grove is free to walk around in at anytime!

The best view of the city is, of course, from above, and I found it at the infinity pool of Marina Bay Sands.

The food in Singapore has some of my favorite flavors in the world. I indulged in the biggest buffet I have ever seen in my life at Colony at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia, and slurped on my favorite Prawn Mee noodles and chili crab at the hawker food centers in Chinatown.

If you’re visiting Singapore on a budget, there are some great neighborhoods that you can walk around without spending a dime. The historic neighborhood of Joo Chiat is home to colorful Peranakan houses, Chinatown is a great area for shopping, and you can spend some time wandering around Arab Street and Haji Lane.

The most efficient way to get around the city and hit all the sights is to use the Grab app (similar to Uber), as it ends up being cheaper than taxis.

If you want to check out the view of the city from a little farther away, head to Sentosa Island. This little island off the southern coast of Singapore, has theme parks, golf courses, spas and a gorgeous, sandy coast!

If this destination wasn’t on your bucket list before, it definitely should be now and be sure to check out my top 10 tips for your first trip to Singapore before you start planning.

Pinching myself ❄️

Did anyone else catch the dusting of snow in the Cotswolds?! I couldn’t believe my eyes!

We had a week of perfect sunny weather with only one afternoon of rain (also so unexpected for November!) and, on my last morning in Bibury, I woke up to this incredible scene!

🎶 The hills are alive with the sound of music 🎶
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Love the Sound of Music? What if I told you that you can visit the real Von Trapp family’s lodge from the famed musical starring Julie Andrews in the quiet town of Stowe, Vermont?

Day 7 of my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) started the day by driving through Smuggler’s Notch—it’s a short and super windy drive through a mountain pass that’s seriously beautiful.

Helpful Tip: Get started on the drive as easy as possible. Traffic is notorious during foliage season so we hit the road at 7am and had it to ourselves!

We then spent the entire day exploring nature trails and hanging with animals at @trappfamilylodge, an Austrian-inspired mountain lodge with 300 acres of farmland in the middle of Stowe.

The Von Trapps, made famous from the movie The Sound of Music, fled Austria during WWII and ultimately landed in Stowe, VT where their hospitality lives on today. Did you know the Sound of Music is one of the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time??

Had we had a little more time, we also would have added:

🥾 Moss Glen Falls
⛪️ Stowe Community Church
🍻 @alch3mistb33r
☕️ @blackcapvermont
🥞 @butlers_pantry_stowe

We did manage to catch a glimpse of the famed Stowe Community Church from afar, but any closer meant fighting traffic and huge crowds.

Come back for day 8 and the final video of the series as we explore the beautiful and family-friendly parts of Boston!

Arguably the MOST “autumnal” day of the trip: 🍎 🍂 🍩
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Welcome back to my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) series! We’re over halfway through our road trip on Day 6 and this was the perfect day of all things autumn.

After a slow morning leaving @woodstock.inn, we were on our way to the famous town of Stowe, Vermont!

I had originally created a jam-packed itinerary, but traveling with a toddler can definitely call for some readjusting and going with the flow. We made 2 of the stops I had planned:

🍎🌳 Hunger Mountain Orchard
🍎🍩 @coldhollowcidermillvt

If we had a little more time, a lot of people add the 🍦 @benandjerrys factory tour on this day.

We ended our day by checking into the @trappfamilylodge —owned by the real family from the Sound of Music where we enjoyed the lodge and property before dinner and bedtime.

Be sure to come back for Day 7 with more on this amazing property and all the furry friends that live here!

Fall fashion is my favorite! What about you? 🍁
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
My recent trip to New England was the perfect opportunity to pack my @meet.nex bags with some cute new styles perfect for any trip!

Nex luggage is super high-quality and will hold up on any adventure. Their Million Mile Care program is also one-of-a-kind. You can trade in your used luggage towards credit for new luggage!

I get so much use out of the Nex crossbody and backpack in Lanikai Amber—they’re my go-to for camera gear and toddler essentials. And you can style them with just about every outfit!
