Hi guys, just been reading your travelblogs and loving them. I just got back in January and already planning the next trip.

They tried their hardest though! :-) Cambodia really tore at my heart strings. The people were so beautiful and genuine, much nice than the Thais in my opinion! Loving your blogs - Reet xx
