January was all about settling into our new neighborhood and new normals, while enjoying the dry season sunshine with a chilly day or two thrown in as a bonus.

Move-in day is finally upon us! We go about the business of settling into our home in Phnom Penh for the forseeable future. And, celebrate another trip around the sun for Lori!

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.

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.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like to go house hunting in Phnom Penh? Of course you have! Exciting highlights from the search for our just-good-enough-to-inhabitat home!
