Travelling to Cambodia has been a completely new experience for me as I had never previously left Australia, but this was the perfect way to do. The social impact volunteering aspects of the trip provided structure and fulfilment while also giving me enough time to explore the country on my own and get involved with some of the culture. Overall it has been a wonderful experience and I hope to do something like this again in the future.
