Maritime Memos

With travel restrictions still in place, it’ll be awhile before we’ll be able to travel. The pandemic had a financial impact too, which forced some people to cut back on costs such as shopping, eating out, and even travelling. Fret not, though, as there are other ways for you to still go on a weekend getaway -- even while on a budget!

Besides the new year and a chance for a fresh start, there are other things to be excited about -- vaccines slowly rolling out, walking around with less fear of virus spreading, gathering with more friends, and local attractions slowly opening up.

Living in the city definitely has its own perks - attraction and entertainment, restaurants and shopping, and better work opportunities. But the fast-paced lifestyle can affect our physical, mental, and emotional health. Having downtime is important, as it allows us to relax and recharge.

Weekend vacations do not get enough recognition. Think about it, you get to destress, spend precious time with loved ones - and you don’t need to spend a fortune (nor sacrifice your annual leave) to be able to do it!

Named Singapore’s best beach by the online community, one should seriously consider a trip to Lazarus Island as part of their weekend getaway.

For those who are seeking a one-day getaway during the holidays, Kusu Island is an island you should definitely consider visiting.
