Cambo Life: Moving In & Up
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!
Kep Crab & Kep Beach
We go crab-wild for Kep’s delectable delicacy, give Kep Beach another chance, and I give myself a minor injury at the area’s finest establishment.
Hiking Kep National Park
Starting off the new year with a bit of hiking in Kep National Park and trying our luck, once again, with sundowners and sunset views at the Sailing Club.

After living in landlocked Laos for 3 years, we’re excited for our first visit to a Cambodian beach…along with a couple thousand local visitors, we discover.

Eight hours in a car with the boys to drive to Vietnam and back for the sole purpose of activating our 12-month NGO visas. Loads of fun for everyone!
