Why I travelHaving been bitten as the travel consultant for 6years by tourism industry, I filled up myself with all great fun and enormous experiences. I was born along Mekong River at the remote beautiful village which was my lovely place in life. Cambodia is a green land with cool nature and pure smile from heart of our friendly people. I start travel around Cambodia since I was 15 years old until now there are still lot of more sites to discover. My Most Amazing Travel Experiences
Doing fishing at Koh Rong Island in Sihanouk Ville was one of my most wonderful ever experiences. I love fishing, snorkeling and I’m finding way to learn how to do diving. We heated by private boat from Sihanouk Ville for approximately 2 hours and immediately we arrived at the island, we walked around the island to interact with local Sok San village then we can start doing fishing the rocky areas in island. It was amazing day trip tour!
