The temperature in the desert oscillates between 40 degrees celcius to somewhere below zero. It does things to your brain and that’s where the idea for basecamp.cafe was planted - in the Gobi Desert in 2012.
It’s been 5 years now, Alex is 22, Singapore has its very own professional accountancy programme and we have taken our first step with the opening of basecamp.cafe.
The journey is still fraught with huge challenges, but that’s life isn’t it? Basecamp.cafe is for all of us to build, a place where we can exchange ideas, create opportunities and prepare for the challenges ahead of us. #alwaysbelieve
