After moving abroad I started compiling monthly roundup posts about life as an expat in Southeast Asia and all the nitty gritty that goes on behind the scenes here at Travel Lush. Head here to read Month 13, Month 14 & Month 15. It’s hard to believe that it’s December already. But I guess that’s life in the tropics for…
Update: This post was written in 2015. If you’re visiting Street 93 you’ll find that a lot of the murals pictured here have been painted over. That being said, I revisited the area in December 2019 and Street 93 is filled with some new, equally as amazing peices. Let’s face it, Phnom Penh tends to…
After moving abroad I started compiling monthly roundup posts about life as an expat in Southeast Asia and all the nitty gritty that goes on behind the scenes here at Travel Lush.

When I moved to Southeast Asia in the summer of 2014, I was completely unprepared. I literally only had three weeks’ notice before I moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, and I basically did the world’s worst packing job. Like a lot of newbie expats who are moving to Southeast Asia I (mistakenly) assumed that household goods, clothes, body products,…
One of my favorite parts of being based in Cambodia is that I can jet off to amazing Southeast Asian destinations on a whim. So when Aaron and I found out that one of our very favorite college friends was going to be in Bangkok on business we immediately booked two plane tickets to Thailand….
Not only did I spent six months living in Phnom Penh in 2015, but I’ve visted the city a handful of times since then (most recently in December 2019). Suffice it to say, I’ve done a lot of eating there. There are many reasons I love Phnom Penh, but one great thing about it is…
