Foreign Exchange

Hands up if you are excited about being able to travel again! With more and more countries being added to the Vaccinated Travel Lane scheme, we are seeing more Singaporeans planning and booking vacations for the year-end. In this episode, we interview Revolut customer Adrian Wee on his travel plans to the United Kingdom to learn about the research and preparation needed before his trip. 

Did you know that the Swedes consume about 35 pounds of candy per person every year? In fact, it is the highest consumption per capita in the world! So, it's not surprising that our guest, like most Swedes, gets excited talking about Halloween — the holiday often marked and celebrated with kids going from house to house Trick or Treating.

In this episode of Foreign Exchange, we interview Nicholas Patrick, author of La Chulla Vida - a semi-fictional novel about his time spent in Ecuador. As an exchange student from Singapore, Nicholas had the opportunity to meet several colourful characters, some of which inspired his book. If you'd like to get your hands on a copy of Nicholas' debut novel, go to Amazon or reach out to him on LinkedIn.
