Mall trains, school breaks, a toddler-free day, a long-anticipated move-out, and some long-awaited down time. Recapping a memorable end to an eventful year.

The holidays are upon us! Nope, not Khmer Water Festival. Consumermas! has taken over Cambodia with all the pageantry of a million plastic Christmas trees and more!

Hankering for fresh fish, cold beer, and a break from the city, we hop a public ferry across the Mighty Mekong. The journey, however, doesn’t quite turn out as intended.

With a lease signed and festival time behind us (for now) we finally sink into something akin to a routine, at least for us, with urban adventures across Phnom Penh.

It’s official! We found our longterm Cambo home! Get all the juicy details and so much more.

Boat racing, block parties, lights, and security advisories galore! This is Bon Om Touk (Khmer Water Festival) in Phnom Penh.

A week-and-a-half into our time in Cambodia everything grinds to a halt for the second biggest festival season of the year.

Stepping back from the housing search a bit to enjoy our first full weekend in our new adoptive city.

The hunt continues, as we expand our search, make up games to cope with our burgeoning insanity, and pay a visit to Phnom Penh’s biggest party hostel.

It’s official! After months of planning and anticipation, our Cambodia move is finally upon us. We touch down in Phnom Penh and go about the business of getting settled in a new country.
