Life is an Adventure, be an Explorer!

I've always thought that life is an adventure and I enjoy exploring, always venturing into the unknown when I travel and talk to strangers to learn more about themselves, while discovering about myself...

A risk taker, I take chances alot and always grab opportunities when they knock on my door. Of coz, as I have a fear of heights (and recently got diagnosed with vertigo imbalance), the stuff I don't do include roller coasters, bungee jumps and most stuff involving heights!

Since two years ago, I chanced upon the Tourist Guide course by Singapore Tourism Board and was checking on the two schools which provided the certification in English medium. Thought it will be interesting, especially when I get to introduce and share about Singapore (the place I call home, and as a patriot - my favourite place on earth) and its sights. Here, one is required to complete the 7-8months course and attain the Tourist Guide badge before you can start guiding (which includes bringing locals/tourists around Singapore, be it in a small or big group).

And yeah, when I reached 40yo, I decided that this has to be my milestone and I will be a proud Tourist Guide, doing something I enjoy and getting paid for it!

24 July 2017 was the first day of the course and it was here where I met 13 other like-minded people, from all walks of life. Shall be blogging again after I complete the course...
