If you ever had a chance to come
to Cambodia, you may remember the beauty and authenticity of its landscapes and
temples. You may remember the kindness of the people that are always happy to
share with you a bit of their daily life or even only a smile on your way.
In Cambodia, the life is going at
a rhythm that could be a little bit hard to handle for a foreigner at first. When
I arrived for the first time in Phnom Penh I feel like life is going 100%
wherever you are. Everything seems to move so fast; buildings are growing all
over the place at a crazy speed, the traffic seems incredible etc. However,
people’s life still follow antique rules and is religious-driven at all time.
Moreover, when you are heading to the countryside, you could see that life has
little changed since decades. This is the first paradox of the modern Cambodia:
a rising country with an impressive growth rate but where most people are still
living the same life as their elder.
Discovering Cambodia is a travel
in time and throughout history. You will move from a rising capital to a quiet
and peace-living village in less than 50kms. The beauty of the landscapes will
let you forgot about its terrible past as you will see that life is always
winning at the end.
Nowadays, the development of the
tourism sector is providing local populations with new ways of earning their
life and improving their conditions. Thus, Cambodia is the new booming place to
go in the last years and this is a great opportunity in which a lot of people
are appealed. So, forgot about your habits and come to take a bunch of
vitality.
Thinking of Cambodia as your
next holiday destination?
There is such a diverse tourist
scene in Cambodia that you can indeed spend various holidays in only one
travel. From the pure beaches in Koh Rong Samloem with crystal blue waters to fevered
parties in Sihanoukville. From the stunning beauty of the Angkor temples near
Siem Reap to the authenticity of the countryside, you will definitely be back home
with your mind full of long lasting memories.
Finally, traveling through
Cambodia will be a real travel in your life. The optimism of people out there
will make you think about how you are dealing with your days back home. If you
are opening your mind enough to see the singular beauty you can find in every
step of your journey, you will enjoy an unforgettable time in the Kingdom of
Wonders.
