Not angelo using you as weight 😂
haha it's so fun for me 😉🤩
ahaha my boyfriend does this too since we moved to the woods and have no gym around!
I'd be careful about running topless for angelo and only in a sports bra for you in Cambodia. You want to make sure you are respecting the locals
Cambodia looks so nice and the food looks delicious. I love the green park there.
Interesting fact is that bank cards are not commonly used in Cambodia except for cash withdrawal or deposit. They use QR code payment, and most places now accept it :)
The food looks so good 😮 So happy you're having a such good time being vegan in Asia! I remember being super unlucky in east asia so seeing how south east asia is much better I'll definitely need to try that
the food here has been really good here so far, and there are actually lots of vegan options 👌🏻 you'll definitely be spoilt if you come back 😉
Recently visited Siem Reap, I obtained a 3 day temple visit pass and would recommend this one. I did two days with tours (big circuit and small circuit) then visited a few lesser known temples by myself (hotel ordered tuktuk for me). Banteay Srei temple had the best information with a kind of museum info part. Would not bother waking up for sunrise and Angkor Wat, very hit and miss and way to many tourists. Enjoy your time - very impressive running in the heat
oooo this is such good information, thank you so much!!! we are trying to organise how we are going to see the temples today 👌🏻
Thank you for coming cambodia 🇰🇭 ❤
Thank for visiting Cambodia ❤
Love your videos! How r u finding the mosquitos at this time of year? Xx
From what I remember USD is used as it’s just a higher currency value, with people travelling shorter periods they will be more used to their currency, so if something is already cheaper anyways probably less likely to be bothered about change back from a vender in Riel. Nevertheless, always know what change you need back, make sure to count it and get used to the colours of notes and their value!
In Vietnam there is two blue notes quite similar and I was getting flustered and accidentally gave the higher value one worth about £20 for a 3/4min motorbike ride 😅
Enjoying these travel vlogs!
Cambodia has amazing nature.. will you be exploring areas outside the city?
it really does!! we will be doing a bit outside the cities, yes 👌🏻
@@HollyGabrielle I want to be a conservation zoologist so its my dream to go somewhere like Cambodia!
I can remember when Cambodia was a no go area ,hope you have an amazing time
it wasn't too long ago, which is crazy!! and thank you 💚
Are you going to the Philippines?
Wow! Been enjoying your Videos! I'm a Vegetarian & a fellow Vlogger! 😊 Best Wishes! ☮️🌴🥳✍️💫
glad to hear this!! and nice 👌🏻🤩
សង្ឃឹមថាដណេីរកម្សាន្តរបស់អ្នករីរាយ❤

Looked like you were really enjoying that food
oh i was 😉😉😉😉
❤️🙏
What is it about running you love so much?
too many things to list here . . . it could be a whole video 😉
@@HollyGabrielleI’d love a video about your running journey and why you love it etc!
I don't think I've ever been anywhere that uses more than one currency... excpet on a plane.
By the way, it’s see-am reap not sigh-am
ohhhhhh thank you!! this is really helpful 👌🏻🇰🇭
Will you go to China sometimes ！！！
A bit disrespectful to just run without a shirt/only in a bra in Cambodia. respect the locals!
you very much just seem to live as you were in Europe and not really engage with the locals. sth about your attitude seems to have changed and you make an arrogant impression how you treat and talk about the locals.
Try to come to China, please. Because you can experience many kinds of local customs and different landforms…
well, that's not really what she looks for (so it seems). she just tries to live her life she used to have in England 1:1 in another country.
OMG you can do jogging in that hot weather I was in Seam Reap last July it was so hot.
Be aware in Cambodia. I loved the country however the mafia are very active. Only deal with USD if you can as they will rip you off with the local currency which costs more to print than its actual value. Also be aware of the boat rides at the lake. We ended up stranded on the lake for 30 minutes as we refused to pay $50 to be taken back. They will take you to a school and ask you to buy rice for the children, however the children are not in school and they basically take the rice back to the store for the next tourist to buy. We had one follow us off the boat and run to our tuk tuk driver to demand he leave us there ... we were very lucky that our driver was linked to our hotel and took us back. We were also scammed in a land boarder crossing but that is a story for another day! It didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth as in the scheme of things it wasn't a lot and the majority of these people are seriously poor. Also I can't recommend the sunrise in the morning at the temples... yes it is touristy but I enjoyed it, you are there in darkness and suddenly see these monuments come to life like they would have every day for thousands of years. Look forward to more travel tales of this amazing place but please keep your wits and stay safe :)
It’s important to utilise local currency in countries
It's better to use the local currency, firstly it's cheaper, and secondly, it's less risky. If you use USD in large notes and there's a small tear or imperfection they won't be accepted and you will have to take it to the bank. The local Riel is perfectly fine to use.
