Our mission is to inspire humans to live better lives.
"Inspire"
We want to spark that desire in you to do or feel something special, creative and interesting. We want to be that reason you walk the long way home, look up, look down, try that new dish, hike, walk or catch the sunrise.
"Humans"
We are for all humans no matter the colour, size, age or race. We celebrate diversity. We don’t endorse discrimination in any form. We’re a team from all walks in life, and that’s the way we like it.
"Live Better"
It means measuring what matters most to you and finding the gaps.
"Lives"
We all only have one, so let's make it count.
Our Values

Teamwork
Nothing works unless there is teamwork. We work together, collaboratively as a team, to achieve our goals.

Integrity
We want to do things that make our kids proud. We are honest and have strong moral principles.

Love Local
We celebrate local designers, creators, producers and businesses. We want to use our powers to lift them up.

Impact
We make a real difference. We take special pride in what we do and only write about things we believe in.

Fun
We are playful, we have good humour and we enjoy having a sense of fun at work. We’ll be honest: we love our jobs.
About Us
Honeycombers is a digital lifestyle platform and a video content and events production house. Our HQ in sunny Singapore is where the business was founded by Chris Edwards in 2008. Yes, we’ve been around for over a decade (looking better than ever) and have expanded to Hong Kong and Bali. Got kids? Our sister website, HoneyKids has your back.
We’ll be honest: we love our jobs. We take special pride in what we do and only write about things we believe in, and we’re constantly working to bring you the latest and raddest happenings around town, even if it means frequent hangovers (we’ll take one for the team). We don’t endorse discrimination in any form. We’re a team of different colours and sizes, and that’s the way we like it. We are an ethical, values-led business and put a lot of emphasis on work-life balance, flexible work arrangements and prioritising wellness for our team.
Yes, we do have advertising on the site, but the difference between editorial and advertorial content will always be made clear. And like we said, we don’t write about things we wouldn’t endorse ourselves (that includes our work for clients). Lastly, we’re real people just like you – we’re locals and expats, working mums, fresh grads. But the one thing we all have in common is we love where we live, and we love sharing it with you.
And we’d love to hear from you. Say hello! DM us on Instagram or Facebook or email us at [email protected].

Honeycombers in the Press
Younger Singaporeans are demanding more from work, and employers must handle them with new ways
Who We Are

Chris Edwards, Founder
Our fun and ballsy leader is the queen bee. She traded Sydney for Singapore more than a decade ago and launched Honeycombers because there was no publication that she felt ‘spoke to her’. Honeycombers was born out of her desire to connect expats with the abundant fab local culture, and today Honeycombers is all about showing locals and expats how to live the good life in this city. She now has Singapore firmly ‘in the palm of her hands’ according to the Australian Financial Review (yes that’s true!).

Benita Lee, Group Editor
Benita’s idea of a good time includes travelling to far-flung spots (preferably during winter), actual Netflix and chill, and counting down to Christmas. After spending her university years in the countryside cornfields of the American Midwest, Benita happily returned home to the bustle of city life in Singapore. She’s since been in the media industry for over 10 years, showing love to all things local and covering the food and lifestyle beats for various established brands. Now, she’s all about that #sweetlife.

Louise Newsham, Editor of Honeycombers Bali
Louise is a self-proclaimed foodie, travel addict and island enthusiast. With an English Degree from King’s College London in her back pocket, Louise moved to Bali to pursue an editorial career covering Asia’s booming travel, F&B and hospitality industries. Having managed two Asia-Pacific luxury lifestyle magazines, as well as collaborating on a number of international projects for both start-up and well-established brands worldwide, Louise’s experience spans various levels of editorial, publishing and marketing. A long-time fan of Honeycombers’ island coverage, she was thrilled to join the team to lead the Bali platform through the next phase of development.

Elaine Wong, Editor of Honeycombers Hong Kong
Elaine had spent her past decade hopping between Hong Kong and the UK, the two places she calls home. After graduating from Oxford, Elaine has (for now) settled back in the 852. If she’s not out chilling in the newest bars and cafés, she’s most likely home listening to music, watching crime documentaries, or feeding the neighbourhood cat.
