December 2019 Wrap-Up
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.
Christmastime in Cambo
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!
Visa Run! Crazy Day Trip to Vietnam
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!
Mekong Crossing
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.
Urban Adventuring
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.
We Signed a Lease!
It’s official! We found our longterm Cambo home! Get all the juicy details and so much more.
Khmer Water Festival
Boat racing, block parties, lights, and security advisories galore! This is Bon Om Touk (Khmer Water Festival) in Phnom Penh.
Festival Season in Cambodia
A week-and-a-half into our time in Cambodia everything grinds to a halt for the second biggest festival season of the year.
Phnom Penh Weekend
Stepping back from the housing search a bit to enjoy our first full weekend in our new adoptive city.
What’s the Catch!?
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.
House Hunters
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!
