The Full Concierge

Complete trip design: day-by-day itinerary, food, transport, plus my WhatsApp throughout your stay.

Self-Guided VIP Experience

Everything bespoke: itinerary, custom neighbourhood audio guide, reservations handled, a local on call for the whole trip. Includes two full revisions and my WhatsApp beside you throughout trip week. And if something goes genuinely wrong during your covered week — lost passport, hospital, scam — helping you navigate it is part of the service.

The WhatsApp Local

A local in your pocket for your whole trip — up to 7 days. Judgement calls and on-ground questions: “which of these two?”, “is this queue worth it?”, “it’s raining — now what?” Replies within a few hours during Singapore waking hours, usually as a voice note — a real local, and I sleep like one. If your questions grow into full trip-planning, I’ll say so — and your SGD 60 converts straight into Local Brief credit. Full itinerary design is the Local Brief; this is the lifeline while you travel. And if something goes genuinely wrong during your covered week — lost passport, hospital, scam — helping you navigate it is part of the service.

Activates on payment — your receipt carries the one-message intake (dates, hotel, party, your itinerary) that starts the week.

Where-to-Stay Match

Four hundred hotels, every “best of” list commission-poisoned — and one commission-free local who knows the neighbourhoods. Send your intake (budget, party, trip style) and receive your area + three named hotels with honest one-line whys, including which floor-facing to request. Nobody pays to be picked; that’s the entire point.

Written match within 48 hours.

Trip Audit

Planned it yourself — or had ChatGPT plan it? Send me the itinerary. Within 48 hours you get the honest local audit: what’s closed or moved, what’s not worth your limited time, the queue-and-heat timing fixes, a rain plan — and what a local would do instead. AI drafts fast; it doesn’t know what changed last month. I do.

F1 Weekend Package

The Singapore Grand Prix weekend (9–11 Oct 2026) planned like a local: circuit logistics by gate, where to actually eat near the track, post-race nights, and the non-race day done properly. Written plan plus WhatsApp through the weekend. And if something goes genuinely wrong during your covered week — lost passport, hospital, scam — helping you navigate it is part of the service.

The Lease Sanity Check

Your tenancy agreement, read by an experienced tenant-side local before you commit. Within 48 hours: the flagged version — the missing diplomatic clause, the aircon-servicing surprise, the deposit structure, what’s standard here and what to push back on. Local-practice review, plainly worded — not legal advice, and it will still save most tenants more than it costs.

Flagged review within 48 hours of receiving your agreement.

The Landing Companion

The relocation version of a local in your pocket: async answers through your entire arrival month. “Which SP plan?” “Is this agent’s request normal?” “A good GP near Tanjong Pagar?” One intake message starts it; replies within a few hours, Singapore waking hours, usually by voice note. If it grows into full relocation planning, your SGD 150 converts to Relocation Advisory credit.

Activates on payment — your receipt carries the one-message intake that starts your month.

Relocation Advisory

60 minutes plus a written summary, covering whichever of these matter to you: neighbourhoods and commute, schools and waitlists, healthcare and insurance, banking, and what a lease actually means here.

The Care Options Map
