Cat and Melissa — traveling again!

Yes, I’m heading to Singapore with blogger/foodie/world traveler Melissa Chang (@melissa808) this week! I’ve never been — this is Melissa’s third time to the island nation, incidentally celebrating its 50th anniversary of independence from Malaysia — and I’m excited to wander around a destination long on my travel list.

The plan is to visit the botanical gardens, Little India, the zoo — oh,yes! — street markets and the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel and frolic in its top-floor infinity pool with panoramic views of the city.

We’re traveling with other food lovers Doug Mashino (@dkmashino), Edwina Minglana (@EMinglana), Sean (@incurablepicure) and Lena Morris, and Nadine Kam (@nadinekam) — so you know we’ll be eating well!

So we’re kicking off our trip with two videos (below): one is about packing light — Melissa is a notorious overpacker! — the other is just a fun conversation about traveling.

Follow us on our adventures in Singapore! I’ll be using the hashtags #CatTravels and #AlohaSingapore. I’m at @catherinetoth (Instagram), @thedailydish (Twitter) and /thecatdish (Facebook). Melissa is at @melissa808 on every single social media platform in the universe.

Interviewing Melissa Chang about all things travel-related

How to pack light — and I hope Melissa was paying attention!
