This is a guest post by talented travel photographer and blogger Nomadic Samuel - If I were to recommend one country I feel most should visit in SE Asia, it would likely be Cambodia. The locals are such wonderful and friendly people. Walking around cities, such as Battambang and Phnom Penh, I could see many smiling faces. For a country that has experienced as much tragedy as anywhere else in the world in recent decades, the spirit of the people shines strongly. The following is a photo essay of the people and faces of Cambodia from Phnom Penh, Battambang, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville:
These adorable girls made my day with their lovely smiles. I met while wandering on the outskirts of Siem Reap, Cambodia
A group of monks stand still during their morning Alms Giving routine in Battambang, Cambodia.
These boys are truly having an ecstatic moment as they speed race down the road after school – Siem Reap, Cambodia.
These two boys race down the streets on their bike with enthusiasm that is only found in youth – Siem Reap, Cambodia

This boy has a wonderful authentic smile. He stopped to smile for me on his bicycle – Siem Reap, Cambodia.
This is a daily travel photo of a Khmer man lounges on his motorbike text messaging during the mid-afternoon – Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
This elderly lady shows signs of character on her face and interesting life well lived – Battambang, Cambodia.
This cute girl washes her hands prior to eating lunch – Siem Reap, Cambodia.
A proud mother poses with her daughter in a local market – Siem Reap, Cambodia.
These girls were trying their best to sell small trinkets to tourists at the Temples of Angkor – Cambodia.

Hello Samuel,
This is a great photo essay. A friend of mine just traveled in Cambodia, and he has been helping some locals with setting up small businesses to help them learn and earn and employ others.
Our foundation too has been in the process of developing some connections with trusted locals in Cambodia to expand our volunteering network.
We are a not-for-profit organisation based in the United States. We provide willing professionals with specific skills, curriculum, and equipment to carry out the good work, at no cost to travelers. We also do not want to change travelers’ itineraries so as much as possible we will try to find trusted communities that can use the travelers’ skills along their itineraries.
Feel free to contact us to further see if we can work together to create positive impacts worldwide!
Thanks again for the essay!
