Featured writer: Randall Collis I hadn’t planned on writing another blog entry on Cambodia, but then it is a good excuse to show some of the more iconic shots of the power of nature at Ta Prohm and discuss the inevitable change around us.

The Angkor Temples are breathtaking, some of the most amazing sights anyone can ever see! Cambodia definitely lives up to it’s name as the “Kingdom of Wonder.” Of all the Cambodian provinces, though, Ratanakiri is the jewel-in-the-crown. Ratanakiri is the…

Featured writer: Wanderlustful Life When we were offered an optional excursion to see the sunset from the top of a Cambodian temple, I jumped at the chance.

Featured writer: Marianne Elizabeth I’ve been interested in learning how to Teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) for some time so, last summer, once I knew we were heading out to south-east Asia for a few months, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take the plunge.

Featured writer: Lynda Renham-Cook I have been lucky enough to visit many countries in my life but not one has stolen my heart as Cambodia did.

Featured Writer: Karina Schroeder Bright green fields stretched to my right and left, scattered with small wooden shacks with resting farm animals, drying clotheslines and barbed wire fences. A bright red dirt path stretched in front of me. The air was hot and extremely humid, a combined feeling of refreshing and stifling. There were no cars and no mopeds, only bikes running…
