A little about me: I'm Emma, a 22-year-old from Ireland! I am fueled by a profound love for life's adventures. I'm an experienced traveller and have been travelling solo or with small groups for the last 4 years. I am drawn to nature's beauty, eager to dive into new experiences and immerse myself in diverse cultures. With an open heart and an open mind, I cherish connecting with people from all corners of the globe, sharing stories, and embracing the magic that comes from stepping outside our comfort zones. Let's create unforgettable memories together while exploring this vast and wondrous world!

IMPORTANT: Cambodia beckons those with a like-minded spirit to explore its vibrant tapestry. It's not about luxury; it's about embracing the local way of life, something refreshingly distinct from our norms. We will be staying in hostels and eating like locals so that we can have a true, authentic feel of what Cambodia has to offer. If you're respectful, flexible, brimming with energy, open-minded, and eager to travel and connect with new faces, you're exactly who I'm seeking! Our language of connection will be English—let's embark on this exciting adventure together!

Phnom Penh

Day 1-2

Day one is arrival day: Cambodia gives us its welcome! Our exciting adventure has begun. We'll be meeting up at the hostel which will be communicated before departure; no worries if you're arriving a little late, we'll be waiting for you :) We will use this day to get familiar with each other and enjoy a meal and drink together. We will have our first experience of being immersed in the local lifestyle.

Phnom Penh

Day 2-3

Now that we've all gotten to know one another, it's time to get to know Cambodia and its deep, harrowing history. We will visit the S21 Museum and the Killing Fields. To learn and understand the country that we will be embarking on our journey through.

Krong Kampot

Day 3-5

After a short enough journey we will arrive in Kampot. In Kampot, we will be staying in Arcadia! Cambodias Waterpark Hostel, where fun is right on our doorstep!

Koh Rong

Day 5-7

Often described as a paradise island, we will stop off at Koh Rong. Known for its white sandy beaches. We can relax in one of the countless hammocks that line the turquoise water, swim with plankton and tropical fish and even explore a shipwreck! At night, we can simply just relax and watch the sunset or we have the option to party until sunrise at Police Beach. The island is our oyster.

We will journey to Koh Rong's sister island, Koh Rong Sanloem, described as Cambodia "Best Island". Another amazing opportunity to sea beautiful marine wildlife and hike to the old lighthouse for panoramic views of the whole island.

After a few days of soaking up the sun, topping up our tans and relaxing in the sand we will return to Phnom Penh to break up our journey to Siem Reap. We will tick off the remaining "to-dos" and stock up on snacks before the journey north.

Krong Siem Reap

Day 10-12

In the hiving city of Siem Reap, we will be once again immersed in Cambodian culture and bustling life. From here we will venture to and spend the day at the ancient, historical temple of Angkor Wat.
