Sam Yun-Shan

Ask any of her friends and they will tell you that there is no one who loves Singapore more than Yun-Shan does!

Inspired by a teacher from school who made learning history fun through storytelling, Yun-Shan developed her passion for guiding when she first started as a volunteer bringing people around museums and Singapore’s historical buildings.

A true blue Singaporean, she has worked in the community sector for the past decade. A profession that has given her the opportunity to interact with people from all walks of life. Her job has brought her all around the island and greatly enriched her appreciation of the different layers of Singapore society. When she is not at work or guiding, she loves to dig into the national archives and records to unearth interesting stories of Singapore’s past. Stories which you are unlikely to find in a tourist guidebook, but would definitely leave you with a greater understanding of Singapore.

Yun-Shan believes that the best way to experience the city is to see it through the eyes of a local and hear about the stories and anecdotes associated with its past, present and future.
