A driver's daily journey through Singapore

Good finds.
Real people.
Every route.

JOURNIE follows the small discoveries that make a day better: a $1 kopi, a helpful stall owner, a practical tool, or a local business ready to be seen.

The List

One directory, organised into verticals. Each listing begins with a real place, a useful price, and a clear reason it is worth trying.

About

What JOURNIE is for

JOURNIE is a growing record of daily value: worthwhile food, useful tools, and the people behind small businesses in Singapore. It is not only about spending less; it is about finding what feels genuinely worth it.

Who this is for

I am a PHD (not PhD): a Private Hire Driver. My work brings me across Singapore, where every route can uncover a good deal, an honest business, or a new friend. JOURNIE is my journey and journal for sharing those finds.

How we help businesses travel further

Good SMEs and local businesses deserve a clear home online. I help them build practical webpages that explain their brand, show what makes them different, and help their stories reach the world.

How we make money

Advertising and clearly disclosed affiliate links may fund the site in future. They will never change the criteria for a listing.
