Hello everyone! I'm 19 years old from UK, and I've never been to a third world country before. I'm going alone and will just be enjoying life and travelling to wherever I want to go, for now within Cambodia - I have no plans, and don't plan on making any.
I'm younger than most who travel as far as Cambodia from the West and some may say naive, but I've researched a lot and am quite sure I'll really enjoy it there. I hope to meet lots of new people, probably some of whom may be reading this right now, and experience all the culture, beauty and excitement Cambodia and Southeast Asia has to offer!
I have only a simple plan for now that I'm sure will develop over time as I grow as an individual. Once I land (in Phnom Penh) I'll be staying in a guesthouse for two or three nights, until I decide where I want to explore (Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, Koh Rong and wherever else) and for how long. When I am only left with enough money to secure an apartment for 1-3 months or so, I'll do that and look to teach English.
I don't have any teaching qualifications, but I am a very enthusiatic and fun person and will learn and try very hard to teach English in a school as best as I can. I think I would really enjoy it, and learn a lot about myself and my capabilities too. I've never taught anyone, but given enough time and dedication I think I could become great at it.
After that, when I'm making a living and renting a place for a few months, I can start to think about exactly what I want in life; it could end up being teaching, I may decide I want to travel more, or maybe something different entirely like try and set up a business! Only time will tell, and my options at this point are limitless (I feel anyway lol).
So, I guess what I want to say is: Hey everyone, I can't wait to join you all soon!
