WHY JOIN ME 👋👩🏻🦰 I have many years of experience as a travel specialist for China and traveled to more than 41 countries, a lot of which are located in Asia. As a person who loves to organize trips in my spare time and just likes company to share these experiences with, I joined joinmytrip in 2023 in order to find other cool like-minded people to travel with. A lot of tripmates have become good friends by now and we went on other trips together eversince. And this is what brings the biggest value to such group trips: the great friendships. Therefore, be sure to be part of a fun group😍. I speak to everyone upfront before accepting a request to join my trip. This is the best way to get to know each other and try to set up a group that fits. Besides, I have taken care of all the planning and organization and I always have some cool specials planned as well ;). I can assure you, you won't regret coming along!
ABOUT THE ACCOMODATION Our highlight is an exclusive night at the 5*-hotel Marina Bay Sands. It is full of world-class luxury and a landmark destination in the heart of Singapore. The architectural gem stands out in the skyline of Singapore and worth a day. I have planned nothing during our stay at this luxurious hotel, so we can fully enjoy the world-famous 146 meter long Infinity Pool, award-winning dining, shopping, entertainment, and more. The other 8 nights are planned in either a central good hotel or apartment of same value. It will depend on how many of us will travel to Singapore :). Breakfast is not included in the Marina Bay Sands and might be included in the other hotel, depending on availability. We will share twin bed-rooms during our entire stay in Singapore. P.S.: Please note that dates might change slightly, if the Dragon Boat Festival will be postponed to another date. But we will remain with the travel dates in late May/early June 2025 :). I hope you are now convinced that it`s worth joining 😁! Don`t miss out on this unique opportunity of exploring Singapore like a local - one of the most stunning countries and modern countries of South-East Asia!
