Home About Team Scarlett Richard

Scarlett Richard

Singapore Office

I have always had a desire to travel and so as soon as university was over with, I was off to explore the world. Inspired by all things Latin, I left for South America, where I was lucky enough to spend 7 months exploring its vibrant cities, epic landscapes and heart-felt people. From then on, I was hooked and continued my travels to Asia and Australia.

On returning home and unable to sit still, a career working in the travel industry was the perfect antidote. With three years gone by specializing in Latin America, I have been lucky enough to return to many of my favorite places, which include Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador and the Galapagos. Now working in our Singapore office, it has provided me with the opportunity to discover new destinations, new adventures and revive my love for Asia. Most importantly, I have been able to share my experiences and passion with others and hearing guest stories on their return is one of my favorite parts of the job!

Favourite places I've been

Chile

Chile is a land of contrasts packed with dramatic landscapes, outdoor adventures and friendly people

The ultimate adventure playround with tropical rainforest, smoking volcanoes and wild beaches

Swim with sea lions, ogle at the brightly coloured feet of the blue footed booby and walk alongside giant tortoises.

Epic landscapes, ancient civilisations, outdoor adventures and a wealth of biodiversity.

Vietnam

Rich in culture, stunning beaches and charming towns.

Travel nuggets

  • Take lots of photos! They are the ultimate souvenir. They don't cost anything, they are easy to share with others and will always make you smile.
  • When visiting a new destination, always try to do something different and get out of your comfort zone. Whether it be a new activity or sampling local cuisine, it will be these adventures that you will remember the most.
  • In many destinations in South America the weather can change dramtically throughout the day and so the key to packing is layers.

My hot picks

Blancaneaux Lodge, Mountain Pine Ridge, Belize

A complete paradise, The attention to detail and level of service is faultless. The rooms are beautiful and the property is set within its own reserve, where there are many walking trails, secluded waterfalls and natural pools to enjoy.

Hotel Vira Vira, Pucón, Chile

This is my favorite place in the world. Surrounded by two national parks, volcanoes, rivers, lakes and forest, Vira Vira offers an enormous range of activities. The food is impeccable, the staff are all lovely and the lodge interior is phenomenal.

This lodge is set in a beautiful and peaceful setting with the most amazing views of Mombacho Volcano. The service is outstanding and the food is very good. I loved the rooms and how the hotel aims to be 100% sustainable.

Playa Cativo, Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica

Playa Cativo offers the ultimate jungle experience. Set in the pristine and untouched rainforest it offers great wildlife viewing and an array of exciting activities.

Tierra Atacama Hotel & Spa, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Tierra Atacama doesn’t disappoint. Boasting amazing views of the Licancabur volcano and set in a very peaceful setting, you really get a feel for the Atacama. The outdoor pool and the spa is one of the best in the area and the guiding is second to none.
