Hiking Trail in Singapore

Trekking, walking or hiking is a simple form of exercise. It is a common exercise for Mr Teddy and I. Not only that it helps to burn fats, it helps us to distress as well. We prefer places which are more tranquil and quiet so as to have the "get out of town" feel. Singapore being a small and bustling city, you will be surprised that there are quite a number of hiking place which gives the tranquil feeling.

It is also one of the popular tourist attraction as well. Mount Faber Park is part of the Southern Ridges, which also comprises Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve.

At times, I would question that do I need all the coverage listed in the policy. For example, I am travelling to Malaysia by car from Singapore. I do not need baggage delay or flight delay coverage.
