This was a much harder exercise (no pun intended) than I originally thought. I've left out so many incredible runs but these are my favourites, with SanFran taking the gold medal.
I bloody love this run! It's a got a bit everything; fresh pine smell, crisp mornings, fellow runners, incline, decline, bison, an old Dutch windmill and the pièce de résistance: a beach at the end - if you make it down that far of course.
As you can tell, I love a coastal run - not only for the views but a swim after. If you want more info about any of these runs i.e. where to start, end, how long, hot tips etc, ping me.
Tell me your top 5 - different country for each!

Hello, everyone! Does anyone have experience living in Singapore? Where can you find short-term rentals, and what is the average cost of living? What are the most interesting places to visit?
Hi Andrei, can you share a little more about yourself and your plans?
e.g. Where are you currently based? How long do you want to live in Singapore for?
You'll find many members (some locals, some expats) based in our Singapore Travel Massive chapter. Link below.
Great thanks! I'm in Prague right now. I'm going to live in Singapoure about 3 months from October.
Hey Andy, I'm living in Singapore! Been here approximately 10 years.
3 months in Singapore is just right with the rules that short-term rentals must be at least 3 months, so you should be able to find plenty of accommodations on AirBnB and co-living apartments (Lyf, Cove, Figment etc). With the rising rent nowadays, expect to budget SGD 2000 a month to have a room at somewhere convenient.
For cost of living, it depends on your food habits and what you do. If you're okay with cheap local food, expect SGD5 a meal. But realistically I would budget up to SGD10 to enjoy more variety of food, and up to SGD20 or sometimes more for something fancier. If you cook like I do, I budget about SGD50 a week for groceries. For everything else - gym could cost around SGD100 a month, and miscellaneous activities like movies and entrances can cost around SGD20-50 each time.
For interesting places, I work in the most touristy but cultural area of Bugis. It's nestled between Kampong Glam and Little India, both great places to visit for a taste of the local culture! I enjoy some parks, like Fort Canning, Singapore Botanical Garden, and Labrador Nature Reserve. For a wilder side, I love MacRitchie Reservoir and Ubin Island. If you want to explore beyond this small island, you can take a ferry to the Indonesian islands of Bintan and Batam, or take a bus into Johor Malaysia. I can go on and on!
Thanks a lot, Angie!
