The heat is quite intense in Cambodia. Be sure to pack sunscreen and sun hats and carry bottled water with you when you visit the sites. Our strategy was to book a hotel with a pool. We visited the sites in the morning and then spent a few hours cooling off in the pool. We headed back out in the late afternoon again.
Mosquitoes can be a problem in Cambodia. Malaria and Dengue fever are present. Consult your doctor for advice. When we traveled to Cambodia we used a strong DEET cream to protect ourselves.

Our Story
🌍✈️ Welcome to our whimsical world of family adventures! We're a dynamic duo of sisters, utterly enchanted by the allure of new horizons. Our journey into the heart of wanderlust began in the most extraordinary way – a transformative leap from the cozy corners of Canada to the vibrant landscapes of Japan. This wasn't just a move; it was the opening chapter of our life's most thrilling story.
Picture this: Two wide-eyed kids, hand-in-hand, stepping into a world so different from their own. For two magical years, Japan was more than a home; it was a gateway to countless escapades across Asia's mesmerizing tapestry of cultures, flavors, and traditions. Every alley whispered a new story, every sunrise brought a new adventure.
But here's the secret ingredient to our travel tales – our parents, the unsung heroes of our nomadic narrative. They weren't just travel enthusiasts; they were maestros of a family travel agency. Imagine growing up with the ultimate travel gurus, weaving dreams into itineraries, turning whispers of distant lands into reality. We didn't just witness the travel industry's mechanics; we lived it, breathed it, loved it.
So here we are, your guides through the enchanting maze of family travel. From unearthing hidden gems to savoring the world's wonders together, we're here to share not just destinations, but experiences; not just journeys, but transformations. Join us as we unravel the globe, one family adventure at a time – because life's too short for ordinary travels. 🌟🌏
