What happens when five strangers come together to explore Singapore’s heritage? 🤔
For project Shore to Shore - which started through the TF-NUS Heritage Champions programme - it became a journey of discovery, friendship, and purpose. We caught up with them to find out how an idea grew into a meaningful exploration of the Southern Islands, and how the experience was memorable and created opportunities they never expected ✨
Kicking off the series, we hear from Elaine Mok (@tarotonthemoon), who recently graduated from NUS with a Master’s in Linguistics, as she reflects on her journey and what she’s learned along the way.
Stay tuned as we’ll be sharing more stories from the Shore To Shore team soon! 👀
