The current state of human rights in Cambodia is illustrated in 1961′s latest exhibit ‘Documenting Cambodia’. Opening earlier this month, the gallery’s portraits take the viewer to parts of the country rarely seen…
Students from West Point Military Academy recently came to volunteer at JWOC. In their blog posts they explain about what they did and what they learned… Interested? Check out their blogs here: http://jwoc.blogspot.com/search/label/Volunteering […] View full post » Here’s some great feedback we just got from one of our guests who recently visited Cambodia: Journeys Within made our stay in Siem Reap outstanding! Our guide “Chai” was great and we ended up with many philosophical discussions with him…we would strongly recommend him…and please give him our warmest regards. Unfortunately, I can’t remember our guide’s name who took us to his village home, but he was also very personable. The pride he took in […] 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: 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: Heather Van Hull- Booking Coordinator and Cambodian Tour Consultant The freshness, variety and complexity of Southeast Asian cuisine continue to amaze me. Balance, I have learned since first arriving in Asia, is key to good cooking-the zing of fresh ginger root and the fire of the tiny red chilies must be offset by the slight lemony flavor of lemongrass or just a touch of palm sugar. Although I love food, cooking has never been […] View full post » By: April Cole- US Director of Operations and Tours I know it may seem silly to post a hotel review of our hotel on here, but I actually do think it’s fitting. The reason why is because Andrea was putting together an itinerary for someone and she said she wanted a “really nice hotel” and I asked her why she wasn’t including Journeys Within? I think sometimes we feel like we’re including the hotel just […] View full post » |

Covering 400 square kilometres, Cambodia’s Angkor park has more to offer than the thousand-year-old temples that attract the visitors by the millions.While the likes of Angkor Wat and Tomb Raider’s Ta Phrom may get all the attention, the 1200 year old site has much more to offer those who are interested in delving a little deeper. The well known archeological site is located in a stunning geographical area that houses ancient forests, swamps and an […] 
In greased covered clothes, kneeling amongst his tool, the young boy in the photo looks more like my hard-working grandfather than the child he is. His hardened gaze meets me with resistance and I can’t help but wonder when was the last […] 
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, […]
