I think it’s time to put a final wrap on our time in Southeast Asia, and what better way to do that than with a ‘reflections’ post! It’s been 4 months since we hopped a plane from Amsterdam to Phnom Penh, Cambodia (someone needs to step up their blogging speed…) which brings me to myContinue reading “Reflections on Cambodia & Vietnam”

Koh Rong, Cambodia
Well friends, we’ve made it to our final stop in Cambodia; the beautiful island of Koh Rong! After two nights at Eden Eco Village just outside of Kampot, we caught another bus to the beach town of Sihanoukville. From here, you can catch a speed ferry and in 45 min you’re on the island! NowContinue reading “Koh Rong, Cambodia”
Eden Eco Village: Kampot, Cambodia
Our stay at Eden Eco Village was one of the things I was most looking forward to on this trip. Like a lot of other highly-anticipated things, this one didn’t live up to my expectations, and to no fault of Eden. Let’s see, where do I begin. Oh yes, this will do. If you rememberContinue reading “Eden Eco Village: Kampot, Cambodia”
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Our last stop as a group of 6 was the capitol of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. When we first arrived, it took us ~7 hours on an overnight bus to get from Phom Penh to Siem Reap. The drive time from Battambang back to the capitol city was supposedly 5 hours so we opted for aContinue reading “Phnom Penh, Cambodia”

One year, six months, and thirteen days. That’s how long it’s been since I (Shane) have written a blog post. Why such a long break? Well, mostly I blame it on writing my PhD thesis – it consumed my life for the better part of two years. But I also blame it on us buyingContinue reading “Video: Southeast Asia 2018/19 – Part 1”
Battambang, Cambodia
Battambang was one of my favorite days from our entire trip. Battambang is both a province and a city located about 3 hours west of Siem Reap. Additionally, Battambang city is the third largest city in Cambodia in terms of population size, but this isn’t what necessarily drove me to want to visit. When planningContinue reading “Battambang, Cambodia”
Kompong Khleang, Cambodia
Our time to Siem Reap wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, the Tonle Sap! Using Siem Reap as home base, we were able to take a half day tour of one of the floating villages located on the Tonle Sap lake. It sounds obvious, but one thingContinue reading “Kompong Khleang, Cambodia”
