Not a Singapore pilgrim (currently in lockdown in Bali) but yay Singapore!! I fell in love with that city earlier this year.

Hi, any Singapore based pilgrims (past and future) here?

In my heart I am ‘Singaporean-in-part’ having lived there a few times and still visiting from Aust regularly (In normal times anyway) - over the past 46 years. Was last there in mid-Feb this year. Happy to meet up for a Camino chat when we can travel again. PM me if you like. All the best to you and all Singaporeans. Cooee

I should have added that a book by Singaporean writer Alvin Tan with sketches and commentary of his Camino Frances, which I purchased from a little book shop in Tiong Bahru, was instrumental in my own Camino journeys. Highly recommended. Cooee

@alegria, you could try a search like this:

"from singapore" site:www.caminodesantiago.me/community at DuckDuckGo

duckduckgo.com

or if you are on the duckduckgo.com search page, then it would look like this in the search box: "from singapore" site:www.caminodesantiago.me/community/.

This will search the forum for the phrase "from singapore". You will get anything that includes this specific phrase in the text, which might include travel arrangements in particular, but might have other subjects. But will include any posts where the author has claimed to be from Singapore in the text. lo

It looks like there are a few people from Singapore here. I didn't go any further, eg to find out if they have been active recently.

Hi Alegria & Geoff,
We also love Singapore and break our journey there when we go to Europe.
I can't remember if it was you Geoff, in a previous post, who mentioned Alvin Tan's book, but we also went to the book shop in Tiong Bahru and bought a copy last year on our way to Scotland & the UK. There were still lots of copies available. We actually got a signed copy. It is a marvellous gem of a book.
Buen Camino

Yes I did mention Alvin’s book in a post a good while ago. I thought that I had lost my copy so bought another - only to then find the first one! Such is life. A good book to read again and again. All the best to you both and hope to get back on the Camino soon. I was to have left for my 3rd Frances 17 May this year. Cooee.

Hi Geoff, we were also meant to start walking our 2nd Frances & 4th Camino on 25th, May this year! We also hope to get back to the Camino, hopefully next year. Take care & all the best.

Hi Alegria,
I’m from Singapore but currently based in Ireland. Hopefully the travel restrictions arising from Covid-19 will ease soon to facilitate my return home. I’ve done the Camino Frances twice, from SJPDP to Santiago and once to Finisterre (Spring 2016 and Autumn 2019).

Best wishes
Dylan

Welcome to the forum! You'll get lots of information here. This thread is almost 2 years old, but @alegria is still active on the forum, so perhaps she'll see your post and say hello!

If you would like to see who else is walking the Camino at the same time as you, look at this thread for people starting in June. Add a post to the thread giving your information, and your name will be added to the list.

Hello there!
I am walking next week Doing the Ingles this time around.

Not a lot of peregrinos here in Singapore - I've only "met" once, the lady who works at the Spanish Tourism Office in SG.

I sent you a private message. Look for a red marker by the envelope at the top of your screen.

Sorry for the late reply… and really hope all is well! May you have an incredibly blessed 3rd Camino!
