Meet André & Lily
The Cambodia we know and love.
More than twenty years ago, André arrived in Cambodia with a simple question: why not? That question became a journey that changed his life.
Today, together with Lily, he shares a country that is much more than a destination. Through Cambodian Travel Partner, they introduce travellers to local people, hidden villages and the roads less travelled. This book brings that same personal perspective to you.
Warm greetings from Cambodia,
André & Lily
A little something back.
