Super excited to be hosting Lucy Jeon for this workshop: Envisioning your Life & Career Abroad: How to Start Working in your Dream Country in 2024! 🩵🧳💼

This is open to public and not just for Asian Wander Women. Lucy has helped over 100+ clients and students from over 25 countries get jobs abroad with visa sponsorship and remote jobs. During the workshop, you’ll build your own strategy using her frameworks and diving into discussion with other peers. ☺️

Together, we'll both also share our own experiences living and working abroad in Asia and Europe! Trust me, you'll learn all the shortcuts and find support in taking that leap of faith.

If you've been wanting to work abroad for a while, but don't know where to start, this is a sign. Sign up here: https://bit.ly/4bX3dJf

Back in San Francisco, I worked at Booking.com, Google, and OmniSci (a startup). In Singapore, I work in digital media, working closely in the venture capital and startup scene in SEA. Not surprisingly, many of my friends here work at Facebook, Google, Salesforce, Gojek, Twitter, or are starting their own startups here. Since I’m still exposed to the tech and startup scene, I hope this info can be of help to anyone looking to find a tech job in Singapore....

Hanging out in a hammock at my friend’s place in Tiong Bahru. Originally published here on November 5, 2020. Every Halloween, I don an eccentric costume and attend a friend’s party or bar hop. I’ve been a sushi, an Incredible character, a dryer machine, and other random objects that entice chuckles from strangers. This year in Singapore, I grabbed lunch with a couple of friends and spent my Halloween night lying on the couch drinking a bottle of white wine by myself....

Help, I’m obviously confused in this space. Back in June 2019, I wrote about What Dating in San Francisco is like. Fast forward to October 2020, I’m now in Singapore working in media. I’m now a 26 year old living in this little red dot; my face has added a few more crinkles under my eyes, as I’ve aged (damn it)....

Back in early 2022, I had organized a meetup in Singapore for Asian Wander Women. Over Korean fried chicken and cold beer, we were sending our Australian Chinese friend Bonnie a farewell off to the UK, where she’d spend the next 3 months working there as a dietician. In parallel, I had received Instagram DMs via from a helpful follower who would send me travel tips and ideas randomly; I was touched by her sincerity and we then quickly became friends.

Her name was Ngoc, a Vietnamese local who worked for a local Singaporean company as a data analyst and based in Hanoi. I had invited her to the meetup in Singapore since she was in town for work—we chatted about our upcoming travels and I introduced her to my friends.

Fast forward to August 2022, I quit my job to travel SE Asia and Ngoc happily volunteered to show us around in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. This city guide is a compilation of all the places she’s taken us and recommended.
