Quah Ting Wen
I have been fortunate enough to be able to travel abroad, to visit and experience various countries and cultures throughout the years, be it for holidays, swimming or school.
Travelling with the Singapore national team is easy. We are always led around by team managers and coaches. I am so well taken care of that I could close my eyes and not get lost. Travelling to Hungary for the International Swimming League (ISL) was a whole different experience.
