What we’re about
Welcome to Caravanserai! I’m Preetam, your host.
This free, non-commercial meetup is open to everyone — no matter your travel experience. We share stories, explore ethnic neighbourhoods and food, and connect with travellers passing through Singapore.
Join us to stay curious, engage with cultures, and discuss the ideas shaping our world.
Why Caravanserai?
In days past, traveling caravans would rest at a caravanserai — a roadside inn where strangers gathered. Around the fire at night, they shared stories of the people and places they had encountered, hoping to learn from one another.
We’re inspired by that spirit — a place to pause, connect, and exchange stories across cultures.

From the shadows of the Cold War to the vibrant energy of today, Eastern Europe has undergone an incredible transformation. While you can still spot traces of its socialist past—stern café service and quirky architecture—the younger generations bring warmth, creativity, and a fresh spirit to the region.
