#ScenesFromCambodia Are Coming!

Hey World,

This weekend I'm off on an adventure, hosting one of my bestest friends in the world here in Tanzania, AND it's almost Thanksgiving week...so I figured this is a perfect time for another travel throwback!

Over 14 months ago, I took a solo trip to try and write my Masters thesis in Cambodia. Long story short, I didn't quite finish it...but I made a TON of headway, and I'm pretty proud of that. 

Because I was reading/writing for up to 12 hours a day, I balanced my academic moments with early morning adventures, sunset adventures, and good food (especially dinners!). Planning activities in the morning ensured I got out of bed, and motivated me to dive right into work when it was finished. 

Evenings out allowed me to catch up on any reading (or re-reading!) I needed to do, while enjoying a nice meal and a sunset view. On a couple of days, I worked in the morning and adventured around lunch, but in order to remain indoors during peak humidity, I avoided it most of the time!

Here was my itinerary:

Dar --> Addis --> Bangkok --> Siam Reap

...and that was just getting there! While I was in country, I spent my two weeks in:

Siam Reap + Tongle Sap (6 days) -->    Sihanoukville (2 days) 

  --> Kampot (5 days)  --> Phnom Penh (1 day) --> TRAVEL HOME

There are SO many amazing pictures that I want to share that I'll be splitting it into three posts:

-Marisa's Disco Tuk-Tuk Temple Tour

- Siam Reap

- Scenes from Kampot & Phnom Penh

Check back in on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for all of the pictures & captions! 

xoxo,

M
