Hi, my name is George.

A few years ago, my family and I flew to Singapore for holiday. Instantly, I fell in love with the airport and the cleanliness of the city. I knew I wanted to make the city my home. Sixteen years later, I'm living my Singapore dream. I moved here to further my career as a producer for television. I’ve worn multiple hats on this incredible journey: producer, editor, content marketer, dragon boat paddler, boyfriend, activist, podcast host, and many more.

This is my personal blog where I write about my life in Singapore. All views expressed here are my own. If you would like to reach out to my regarding my career as a media professional, let's connect on LinkedIn.

what’s a bekpackr?

bek for beki (gay slang for “gay”) and packr or packer (short for “backpacker”). Although I’ve been blogging since 2002, this version of my blog started one week after I came out to my family in 2013.
