We research, You discover…

GoingPlaces.sg was set up in year 2011 to help travel fanatics to discover interesting places to visit, particularly in Asia by sharing how we plan our itineraries with limited budget.

The GoingPlaces.sg Team

Over the years, we visited popular destinations like Bali, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Japan, Siem Reap, Spain, Paris etc as well as exotic places like Laos, Mongolia, Nepal and Sapa(Vietnam).

Our travel style is very flexible, we would love to stay in a comfy 5-star hotel but to stretch our travelling budget we ended up staying in a budget hotel of USD10 a night.

Some people may think it’s crazy, but we ever travelled to countries such as Laos and Vietnam with a one-way ticket and stayed until we ran out of cash before deciding to book a return ticket.
