- In today's video on our Retirement Travelers journey, we highlight Siem Reap, Cambodia and show you the amazing Angkor Wat temples and some epic fun at the Khmer New Year Celebration.
Siem Reap is a city in Cambodia that is famous for its stunning ancient temples, rich history, and vibrant culture. Here are some reasons why you should consider visiting Siem Reap:
Angkor Wat: Angkor Wat is one of the most famous and largest religious monuments in the world. It was built in the early 12th century and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its stunning architecture and intricate carvings are a must-see.
Other Temples: Siem Reap is home to more than just Angkor Wat. There are over 1,000 temples in the area, each with their own unique architecture and history. Some other notable temples include Bayon Temple, Ta Prohm Temple, Tonle Om Gate, and Banteay Srei Temple.
Cambodian New Year: This is an incredible celebration held in mid-April each year. We had so much getting soaked and interacting with the local Cambodian people. It was a party we will always remember.
Cultural Experiences: Siem Reap offers many opportunities to immerse yourself in the local culture. You can visit local markets, try traditional Cambodian cuisine, or even take a cooking class. There are also traditional dance performances and cultural shows to enjoy.
Beautiful Landscapes: Siem Reap is surrounded by beautiful landscapes, including rice paddies, jungles, and rivers. You can take a boat ride on the Tonle Sap Lake, visit a floating village, or explore the countryside by bike.
Friendly People: Cambodian people are known for their warm hospitality and friendly nature. You will likely be greeted with a smile wherever you go in Siem Reap. We made a life long friend with our cab driver, who showed us the beauty of the area for our entire trip.
Overall, Siem Reap is a unique and fascinating destination that offers a rich cultural experience and stunning natural beauty. It's definitely worth a visit!

▶️ We started our channel to inspire and share our world travel lifestyle, adventures, and optimistic outlook on life with others. After completing a two-year journey in our Airstream to see all 50 states and 51 National Parks, we left to travel abroad. We have downsized our possessions and sold our home so that we can wander about with only the things in our backpacks.
We love living on the road, traveling each week to a new location. We plan to travel extensively to every part of the world. Ours is not a slow travel lifestyle but rather a vagabondish one. The goal is not to check a country off a list, but to experience it by meeting new people, seeing how others live, and making new friends. We believe in laughing, loving, and living our lives to the fullest.
We are working hard to build a beautiful website where you can get travel information about the places we have been. In addition, we post blog articles to help you travel better. Our channel is a way of augmenting that effort, so sometimes we post videos about how to travel or a vlog showing our lives on the road as we do an activity or an adventure. We also post Shorts, so check those out, too. We hope to entertain you, but most importantly, we want to inspire you and give you the confidence to plan your own adventure around the world.
We invite you to subscribe and comment. We also hope you follow the link to our website and sign up for our newsletter. It's a great way to keep up-to-date with our travels. ◀️

I first visited Siem Reap, Cambodia in 2015.... I had spent a month in Thailand and the plan was to spend 2 weeks in Cambodia, 2 weeks in Viet Nam, then the remaining 2 weeks back in Thailand before heading back to the U.S.A.. I liked Siem Reap so much I extended my visa and spent 6 weeks there....I've since gone back 2 more times for a total of 3 1/2 months in total.... thanks for the video
Thanks. We had a great time there. The New Year Festival was so much fun!
Enjoy your travels,

I smiled watching John battle it out with the young girl. The festival and temples looked amazing. Thanks for sharing your tips. I learned to find a good driver and hire that person for the entire day. I also learned to time visits with local festivals. Thanks! --M
The epic water battles with the Cambodian locals is something we will always remember. ☺️ We have discovered so many wonderful local festivals and try to experience them when possible.

Love your dragon impression at 0:31, John 🙃 Great videos and as a newcomer to all of this, I'm learning so much from you. I'm single, retired, age 63 and seriously considering doing something very similar. Not sure I could become that minimalist but close. Thanks, again.
Thanks. Not exactly sure what I ate for the dragon impression 🤣 but it was fun. Good luck with your downsizing journey.

John & Bev, I’m so glad to see you guys re-entering the TH-cam travel-video-blog world. I missed my weekly fix of traveling vicariously with you, first around the USA and then around the world.
Thanks so much. It is good to be back. Sometimes a break is helpful in reenergizing your efforts. We now have an established website, so hopefully we can continue TH-cam with no breaks for awhile.
John and Bev

Wonderful site!
Thank you so much.

Nice informative video. One small recommendation is to get to the temple complex at sunrise and beat the bus tourists. My favorite is Bayon temple at sunrise you'll be practically the only one there and the light (and lack of heat!) is amazing at that time of day. And I'll note that the water festivals are throughout SE Asia with the most famous actually in Chiang Mai in Thailand which is just as fun, but they are all great experiences.
Thanks and good suggestion. It was really hot and humid. We will try another place next time for the festival.
John and Bev

Bev you have such a great smile. I wish I had a partner to travel with, I am single 60 years old, and I have traveled alone to a few countries. But traveling alone is expensive and also tiring. I love your channel. Happy Travels.
Thanks for the kind words. We hope for many blessings for you in the future.

There’s many singles travel groups for women over 50 and 60. Don’t wish, DO!
Hey, I’m in the same boat at 56yrs old and wishing for travel partner. A simple minded and humble woman would be amazing!
If you think "that's fun", you might want to visit Thailand for their Songkran ("water festival")! Thank you for sharing your beautiful content. I am enjoying it presently vicariously, so that one day soon, I can do so in person! Thanks again!!!
Thanks. That looks amazing as well. Thanks for following along.

We hope to bounce around SE Asia for a few years. Honestly, Cambodia is one we are not sure if we wanted to go. The downside to SE Asia for us is we HATE hot weather. We’ll be going to Dalat and Baguio City and the rest of the time I guess we will look for places with A/C And swimming pools.
It is hot, but Siem Reap and Angkor Wat are worth visiting.

Hi, Excellent , Inspirational, Please advise how do you take vdo , either self or by someone else . Secondly photography is done using iphone , ipad or professional camara . If doing self vdo or photography, what accessories you use it , it will be good if you make a seperate vdo on it
We do all of our own video with a variety of equipment. Thanks for the suggestion on making a video.

You've totally talked me into Cambodia and Laos!! Did your hotels have a/c? Is it possible to spread your Ankor Wat visit out over several days, getting there at sunrise so you're not walking around in so much heat?
Hotels had AC. Yes, you can spread out your visit. We can connect you with our local driver and he can pick you up from hotel and do a custom tour for you.
Safe travels,
John and Bev
Beautiful place. I’m surprised you were able to use the dron on the temple areas. Or it wasn’t a dron?
Thanks. It is illegal to use a drone in the temple areas so we had to use stock footage instead of using ours.
John and Bev

Can’t wait to see Angor Wat someday. What is the public restroom situation at these sites in Cambodia?
They were fine at the ticket office and restaurant. I don’t think we used the restroom during the tour because it was 100 degrees 🥵 and we walked a lot. They get MANY tourists to Angkor Wat, so I would guess most are fine.
