San was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the journey. He provided helpful context and interesting background about each place we visited, which made the trip even more enriching. One of the highlights was visiting Kampong Chhnang, where San brought me to see local artisans making ceramics by hand, as well as families producing palm sugar. These authentic experiences were fascinating and really gave me a deeper understanding of local life. Overall, it was a very enriching and enjoyable trip. I highly recommend traveling with San!
