Voluntouring Abroad

Cycling in Cambodia Cycling in Cambodia is on the rise and is great way to learn about the country and the Khmer people. If you cycle around Phnom Penh in the early morning, you will see many groups of cyclists hitting the road and enjoying the early day with their other friends. Cycling has advanced from a simple and cheap form of transport into a popular sport and there are plenty of cycling destinations you can try… [ 1,082 more word ] https://voluntouring-abroad.com/cycling-i n-cambodia-phnom-…/

Living In Cambodia | Phnom Penh Life in “The Penh” has the good, the bad and the ugly. A combination that makes life in Cambodia very interesting, but it can send some people into despair. There is great accommodation, but at a price; there is the traffic, but it can drive foreigners mad; and there is the food, a huge variety but often over-priced and often terrible.

Essential Travel Items We have put together what we believe to be the most inclusive essential travel times list that is available. We gathered these essential travel items from personal experience and that of our followers and members. Some are unusual, others are truly must have in my case, some are cheap whilst others are expensive. There are meant to be 99 essential travel items; however we add and take away constantly.

Kampong Thom | An Amazing Bus Stop People rushing from Phnom Penh to Siem Reap usually miss Kampong Thom even though the bus stops here for one of the many breaks the bus driver enjoys taking: Maybe that’s is why people miss it. Here there are exotic lakes, rivers, forests, mountains, and more than 200 ancient temples. This place is Kampong Thom and is definitely worth staying a couple of days to see what’s going on.

Anlong Veng | Last Bastion of a Dictator If you visit Preah Vihear, an alternative route back to the hustle and bustle of the real world is via the town of Anlong Veng, this is a big detour along Cambodia’s northern border, travelling across Preah Vihear and Oddar Meanchey provinces. Now, this dusty off-the-beaten track town is not exactly on the tourist trail but definitely a place to visit and see where one of the twentieth century’s most notorious tyrants and butchers saw his last stand.

Battambang: The Undiscovered Country Welcome to Battambang, where rain gambling is a popular past time ... what! Well it is simply hedging your bets on when it is going to rain, what else! Battambang is the biggest city in Cambodia’s northwest, and is at the intersections of the roads leading to Sisophon then onto the Thai border, Pailin and again onto Thailand in the west, and Pursat to the southeast.

The Road to Preah Vihear If you like old places, Cambodia has temples, palaces and cities to spare. Most people rush to Angkor and its famous Wat, others seem to drift to Phnom Koulen, then there are those intrepid few who like to go off the beaten track and visit some of the less seen places and sometimes rarely seen ones.

We did ask if you had any essential items that you would take in a trip. Initially we had 17 items - well the list increased slightly to 99! We will launch them in groups over the next few weeks. Some of them were awesome and we will be taking them on our next trip. Campbell Muirhead particularly liked the underwater camera that follows you (we thank Damion Royce for that one); and the self cooling pilllow. Thanks to all the people who sent us their essential travel item su...ggestions. If you have or you have seen an unusual item, we appreciate all emails. Cheers

As I work on our website I am often reminded of the inspirational quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Occasionally when the platform is not moving ahead as quickly as I would wish, I realise that every step brings us all a bit closer to helping others. To give a helping hand to someone less better off that ourselves by either volunteering abroad, donating to charity, sharing our website or contributing to our website gives us all a share in a greater glory
“What is success? To laug...h often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate the beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch Or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!”
TO KNOW THAT EVEN ONE LIFE HAS BREATHED EASIER BECAUSE YOU HAVE LIVED
