Singapore was my home for 25 years — a city that shaped my career, creativity and community. Returning is always meaningful, but this visit felt even more special: I was back for a dear friend’s wedding, with my partner Stephanie by my side, and both of us proudly travelling as TUMI Ambassadors.

For Stephanie, it was a chance to experience the city through fresh eyes — and her signature sense of style and curiosity. Wandering through the colourful textures of Singapore, from the heritage-rich streets of Chinatown the calm of hidden corners, she found joy in how each neighbourhood offers its own distinct flavour. A little city, a little wild — just how she likes it. With her TUMI Voyageur Myla Crossbody Bag — and trusty Andi the Alpaca in tow — she blended in while standing out. Lightweight, elegant and effortlessly functional, her bag kept pace with her every step, from morning coffee runs to afternoon strolls along Marina Bay.

For me, being back was both nostalgic and inspiring. From the lively energy of Newton Food Centre to the calm elegance of The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore, every corner of the city reminded me why it will always feel like home. My TUMI Alpha Bravo Logistics Backpack was the perfect companion: rugged yet refined, spacious yet sleek. Designed for the modern explorer, it kept my essentials secure and organised — whether I was navigating the civility of Changi Airport or the signature heat and humidity of the city streets. Built for both journey and destination, it helped me travel light, stay focused and savour the moments that mattered.

Together, we experienced Singapore through different lenses — but with the same trusted travel companions by our sides. Stylish, functional and always up for the adventure.
