Some relationships are forged in fire, at Journeys Within we use the mid-day Cambodian sun… 
After a hectic busy season of working to make each Journeys Within tour unforgettable, our booking director Linda suggested the hardworking team get out of the office and hit the open road. And so the whole office staff, along with our beloved Siem Reap guide Sina, hit the trails on bike and headed for West Baray. West Baray is a […] View full post »

Used to planning the perfect trip for others, tour consultant April shares her experience planning a trip that both she and her husband will love…
By: Kwanchanok ‘Jeab’ Meechai- Thailand Country Director I have some photos that I took when my niece, mom and I went to the zoo on Sunday. We had a fun time walking around the zoo and teaching her about the character, action and how dangerous or friendly the animals are. Now the zoo is developed more than the last time I visited and I think it’s a good fun for the family. Also, you can […] View full post » By: Narla Phay, Country Director- Cambodia Last week 6 staff from Journeys Within Tour Company and Boutique Properties went to join the training course of “Culture Sensitivity”. Cambodians have some strict culture, for example we can’t touch anyone’s head even if they are younger or older than you. We believe that the head is the top part of the body that contains knowledge and if anyone touches it, it can mean 2 things- 1 that […] View full post » By: Nicole Long- Country Director, Laos Woo! I just recently finished sorting through over 3000 photographs I took on a recent holiday. My travel companion kept telling me to watch my shutterbug finger because she knew about the pain I would be going through later. Now I completely understand her warnings. I have never sorted through so many from a trip before; at least one where I was only there for 10 days. It makes […] View full post » By: Heather Van Hull- Booking Coordinator, Cambodia The Angkor temples, with their intricate carvings and stunning architecture, are mesmerizing and are a must for every visitor to Southeast Asia. Simply wandering around their ancient winding passageways and climbing over bits of jungle-laden rubble is a lifelong memory. Last month I was given the amazing opportunity to join in on a 30-minute scenic flight with Helistar over Angkor with two of our customers. Words cannot even […] View full post » By: Kwanchanok ‘Jeab’ Meechai- Thailand Country Director This is a nice snack you often see being cooked by the side of the road. It is called Khanom Buang. It looks a bit like Mexican tacos but the taste is of course very different. The pictures here were taken from Silom Road when I just walk pass by when I go to work. It looks simple but I assure you that it is harder than it […] View full post » |

As I’m getting ready to leave for my own South East Asian adventure in less than two weeks I thought it would be fitting to share with our guests how a Journeys Within tour consultant plans their own vacation. In planning my own trip I was reminded of how special […] 
Miranda tags along with the Journeys Within team as they work to make one lucky couple’s dream-date come true… Few people would describe me as a romantic. I love the idea of love as much as the next girl, but my practical nature usual keeps life’s mushier feelings at bay. Recently however, I witnessed a day so enchanting it reduced me to likes of a love-sick teen. Part of a special Conde Nast Dream Trip, […] 
Operations Manager Anna Baldwin Heads to Vietnam for a Surprise Reunion… For me, the Hanoi adventure wasn’t quite over. Returning to the Old Quarter, my immediate reaction was ‘’Where is everyone?!’’. The streets were now deserted due to the mass exodus of Hanoi residents who all take time during Tet to be at home and spend some much-needed time with their families. After taking a walk around the lake, however, I soon found that […] 
Operations Manager Anna Baldwin Heads to Vietnam for a Reunion… Having said our goodbyes and thanks to Tracy and her family, the next day my parents and I set off for the magical Halong Bay, often deemed as one of the seven great wonders of the world. Nothing quite prepares you for the splendour of Halong Bay’s dreamlike landscape. The emerald green waters of the bay are interrupted by breathtaking, jagged limestone karst rock formations, […]
