Every day is packed with awesomeness, but some of our highlights are:
VILLAGE PROJECT
We spend a full five days at the Restore One School. Whether you’re helping out a teacher, painting a new toilet for a local family, or simply speaking English with a student, the main thing you need is a good attitude and a willingness to give anything a go. Most of the work is very simple—just a hammer and nails or a paintbrush. Plenty of people have come before you with zero building experience and ended up creating something truly special.
Just bring your hat, closed shoes, a water bottle, and that great attitude. What you leave behind will last long after you’ve gone—and it’ll make a real difference to the people who receive it.
And while you’re working, you’ll be side-by-side with amazing locals, having chats and getting a glimpse into their everyday lives. If you’re open to it, this experience can leave a mark on you just as much as you leave one on the village.
CULTURE AND HISTORY
We journey to places where Cambodia’s ancient culture is honoured and remembered—sites that give powerful insight into the country’s rich history and the devastating impact of the genocide. These visits can be deeply moving, but they are a vital part of understanding the resilience and spirit of the Cambodian people.
Make no mistake—this is not a journey of sorrow. Cambodia is alive with energy and hope. Its cities, markets, and villages pulse with color, creativity, and warmth. We climb temple steps guarded by mischievous monkeys, meet artisans bringing traditional silk spinning back to life, explore palaces and museums, and even encounter highly trained rats that help clear landmines—an astonishing and inspiring project.
This is the real Cambodia—raw, beautiful, and unforgettable. We don’t just see it. We connect with it. And we leave changed by it.
MEALS & ACCOMODATION
This trip is a bit of a foodie adventure—with a good dose of heart. Cambodia is full of amazing food, and many of the places we eat at are run by charities or social enterprises. We call it eating with justice—enjoying great meals while supporting something worthwhile.
Along the way, we’ll share the stories behind these places and the people they help, all while tucking into some seriously tasty food. In the village, we have our own chef preparing our meals, mostly vegetarian.
Dietary needs? No problem, let us know when you book.
In Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, we stay in pretty terrific places, 4-star accommodation in locations close to the markets, river, cafes and spas. The guest house we call home while in the village is rustic but very comfortable with air conditioning and flush toilets (that work most of the time :)
