Cambodia: Sihanounkville, Koh Rong, Koh Rong Sanloem and Kampot 🇰🇭
Following the hectic pace of Phnom Penh and the intense day we had learning about the genocide, we were ready to have some quiet time and enjoy some beach days. We had decided a long time ago that we just wanted to relax after 5 months of being on the move constantly, and what better…
Cambodia: Siem Reap and Phnom Penh 🇰🇭

Vietnam: Da Nang, Hoi An and Hue 🇻🇳
As we continue to move through Vietnam, we grow more fond of the country and culture. The people are friendly even when you can’t communicate with them, it’s beautiful and full of history. We can’t wait to share more of Vietnam with you in this blog. We’ve noticed that in Vietnam they love their coffee…
