SINGAPORE: In the bustling heart of Singapore, where life often feels like an endless race against time, one senior Singaporean took to Reddit to ask a question that resonated with many in the city-state. She asked, ‘What is the Singaporean version of getting away from it all?’ What is the Singaporean version of “getting away …
She said, “We often see ideas of escapism or ‘getting away’ from the rat race floating around, such as living off the grid, living in a van, buying a farm, joining an organisation like the French Foreign Legion or peace corps.”
But Australia is no longer a place to get away from it all, argued another, who said, “Australia no longer feasible since like… 5 years ago? It would be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire.” Another shared he found fulfilment in giving back on the weekends: “I do it on the weekends. It is therapeutic, and I still have a living wage from my office job”
After quitting, he started freelancing and worked in a three-man company. He has ‘good’ pay for someone with no one to support, and he’s feeling ‘better’.
