The heart of any place is the people who inhabit it.
For years, the Cambodian people where victims of Richard Nixon’s secret bombing campaign, only later to be subjected to Pol Pot’s brutal genocide while much of the word looked the other way.
Yet today, few places, few people are more welcoming to international travelers. For a lesson in resilience and forgiveness, few places can match Cambodia. Few places are more rewarding to visit.

I love Cambodia! My husband and I spent 9 days there and have thought about it just about every day since. Beautiful people, delicious food and amazing history. I can’t wait to go back!
My kids and I visited Siem Reap a few years back and we loved it. We rented bikes and rode around the countryside and had great fun meeting the locals. They are very friendly people. We had a great time exploring Angkor Wat, the water village and riding in the tuk tuks.
