SGN Kakis

A buddy who's already walked the path you're about to take.

Moving to a new country is easier with someone who's done it. SGN Kakis pairs you with an experienced buddy — someone to answer your questions, share what they wish they'd known, and become a friend as you settle in.

When I arrived in France 40+ years ago, I had to ‘feel’ my way around. As more Singaporeans are widening their horizons, the Singapore spirit of helping out is still awake in me and I enjoy meeting my Kaki. To those ‘feeling’ their way around, ‘Jia You’!

Kakis Abroad connected me with Singaporeans I could support by sharing what I learned the hard way, making their journey into Australia a little smoother.

Kakis Abroad

Your Kaki will offer valuable advice as you plan your move, help you navigate the cultural differences of moving away from Singapore, and become a friend as you find your footing in your new city.
