Teach English in Cambodia

---

For decades off limits to all but the most intrepid travellers, today Southeast Asia's Cambodia is a popular

destination for all kinds of folks: from independent backpackers who roam far into the hinterland to luxury

tourists who stay in style and experience Angkor Wat between massages and exquisite French meals.

Tourism to Cambodia has exploded over the last two decades in two waves. The first was when security

concerns were addressed, allowing easier access to Angkor and then, more recently, the second was when

Cambodia's stunning islands opened for business. Despite an influx of visitors, mass tourism remains largely

restricted to just a few destinations and it remains relatively easy to drop off the tourist highways. Don't

assume Angkor Wat is all Cambodia has to offer; there is so very much more.
