Key notes about Cambodia
Living in Cambodia
Volunteering in Cambodia isn’t just about giving back; it’s also about personal growth and adventure. Trek through the Cardamom Mountains, discover the floating villages of Tonle Sap Lake, or savour the delightful flavours of Khmer cuisine. Every moment in Cambodia is an opportunity to learn, explore, and grow. A bicycle is likely to be your mode of transport and you will make your way down dusty roads flanked by paddy fields. After some initial shyness, Cambodian students will welcome you and be delighted that you are engaging with them, either in the classroom or in other activities. You need to be self-motivated, flexible and inquisitive, but the rewards are great and you will surely have a fantastic time here.
