In 2007, I made my first, but not my last, trip to Cambodia. This trip was to Siem Reap to see the temples of Angkor Wat and to do some so-called 'voluntourism'. I was touched more than I ever could have imagined by the beautiful and indomitable spirit of the Cambodian people.
I became close to my tuk tuk driver and his family. Now I am trying to spread the word about how wonderful a visit to Angkor Wat can be and how transformational an experience it can be to get to know the Cambodian people.
I made a return trip this past September. This time I spent 4 days in Phnom Penh and then 10 days in Siem Reap again.
If you go, I know a great driver for you! See the informational website I have put together for my friend the tuk tuk driver (http:www.angkortuktuk.net).
