In this podcast episode, we recount our journey through Siem Reap, Cambodia. We began with a luxurious stay at the Sabara Angkor Hotel and Spa, followed by a lively exploration of Pub Street. Despite some travel frustrations, we found joy in visiting Apopo, where African giant pouch rats are trained to detect landmines. Our day continued with a visit to the Made in Cambodia Market, where we admired and supported local artisans. We concluded with preparations for our visit to the Angkor Wat temples, reflecting on the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship we encountered along the way.Introduction to Siem Reap and arrival at the hotelDescription of hotel amenities and unexpected luxuryExploration of local atmosphere and tourist attractions in Siem ReapDiscussion of travel logistics and itinerary adjustmentsVisit to Apopo organization and training of African giant pouch rats for landmine detectionExploration of the Made in Cambodia Market and support for local artisansExperience at the Artisan Market focused on traditional crafts and training young artisansObservations on the impact of tourism on local artisans and their craftsPreparations for visiting Angkor Wat temples, including ticket purchasing tipsReflections on cultural experiences and connections made during the trip Please join our newsletter and follow us on our socials > https://linktr.ee/the_outdoors_station
