Siem Reap - Cambodia

Back in January 2018, we traveled to Cambodia, a country of about 17 million people, roughly the size of Greece or half of Germany. While Phnom Penh is the political and economic heart of the country, it’s Siem Reap that draws visitors from around the world as the gateway to Angkor Wat—the largest religious monument on Earth and a lasting symbol of the Khmer Empire.
But Cambodia is more than just its famous temples. Step outside the city, and you’ll find a different side of the country—stilt houses lining Tonlé Sap Lake, fishermen casting their nets, dirt roads winding through open fields, and lively markets where daily life unfolds. There’s a rhythm here that follows nature and tradition, showing a Cambodia that feels worlds away from the tourist hotspots.
With this collection of images, I hope to share not just the grandeur of Angkor, but also the people, landscapes, and everyday life that make this place so special. And since there’s still so much more to explore—hidden temples swallowed by the jungle, remote villages, and untouched landscapes—it just means we’ll have to go back.
