Since 2018, I really wanted to experience a solo trip, and finally it's happening in 2024! Words couldn't describe how I feel, but if I had to put it into one word, it'd be ✨ Blessed ✨.
I chose Singapore for my first solo trip because I know how safe this country is. Since I've been to Singapore several times, I know I'll be comfortable.
I went there for only 3 days and had no itinerary. To be honest, this is not for me, but I kind of like it. Let me break down where I went.
Day 1:
On day one, most of my time was spent with Jewel. To see this kind of view inside a building is just breathtaking. I can't get enough of the view, so I decided to have lunch at Shake Shack in order to see this view while enjoying my burger! 🍔
Next, I checked in at the Dream Chaser Boutique Hotel, which is located in Bugis. I had a very pleasant stay here. Although it's a budget hotel, the service, the interior, and the cleanliness are great! I think you should consider this place if you're on budget 😉
After check-in and taking a shower, I just strolled around Bugis for dinner, watched a movie, and bought a ring in the Haji Lane's vintage store.
Day 2:
Usually, when travelling, I tend to wake up and leave the hotel early, like when I'm about to go to work or omething. But for this trip, I woke up around 9ish! This is rare.
My second day was filled with shopping in Orchard, a picnic in Marina Barrage, and having a drink in one pub located in Haji Lane. Pretty chill, uh?

Day 3:
Since I took a very late flight, so I got pretty much a whole day in Singapore.
After checked out, I went to one of the popular place in SG called Joo Chiat. In here you can find a Peranakan houses with beautiful colours.
Besides sightseeing, there are lots of cute stores and Katong Laksa! Wah, I really wanted to try the Laksa but ended up not doing so because I was still full. For sure, I will try it next time!
Okay, from Joo Chiat, I go back to the Bugis area, so it's easier for me to pick up my luggage and travel back to Changi. I did try one current popular ice-cream store called Birds of Paradise. It's not overhyped, and you should try their coconut flavor! Yummmz
I never thought I liked solo trips until I had them.
I enjoy being silent, go whenever I want to, and eat whatever I crave.
Okay, since my friend asked about these questions according to my solo trip, I think I wanted to share my answers here.
Did I scare? No, because I know I'll be safe in Singapore.
Did I feel lonely? No, probably because only 3- days? Idk 🤷♀️
Will I go on another solo trip? Of course, I would! Looking for it, haha
Any questions about my experience? Feel free to drop me a DM on Instagram, @vneesaa. I'll be very happy to answer all your question(s)!
Next month, I'll head to Bali for 8 days. Stay tuned for my upcoming traveling stories!
