NEW DATES:
Thursday 4 April – Friday 12 April 2024
All inclusive mum & daughter $4200 (land only)
Cambodia is such a special country, and I think it’s the perfect place to connect, bond and create shared memories with your teen daughter. I absolutely love Cambodia and I’ve designed this all-inclusive trip to give you a holiday with your teen where you don’t have to do anything but spend time with her. We don’t have them by our side for very long, and I want to make sure we all have incredible memories of time spent with our daughters before they run off to create their own. This holiday will fill your cup and leave you with a happy heart.
Cambodia is the land of wonder, a country with a fascinating ancient heritage and a modern history so rich in art, music and architecture it was known as the Pearl of the Orient. The genocide brought upon the Khmer people by Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979 was devastating for the Khmer people who are rebuilding even now. Against this backdrop of destruction and heartbreak, you will find the biggest hearts and smiles and create a lifelong connection.
In Siem Reap we will explore the the temples of Angkor, watch the sun rise over Angkor Wat and visit Banteay Srei, dedicated to the Hindi god Shiva and known as the Citadel of the Women.
We will explore the gorgeous waterfalls of Kulen Mountain and visit the 1000 Linga River. We will eat local food, explore pagodas and have a spot of putt putt golf at a local family’s hand made course. If you like, you can join me in donating blood at the Cambodia Children’s Hospital.
We will cruise on the gorgeous Tonle Sap and see the stilted river houses, visit the incredible Hero Rat museum, meet a local artist and create our own artwork and support the disadvantaged youth who perform in the Phare Circus.
From Siem Reap we will travel to Battambang where we will ride the bamboo railway, take a bike ride through villages, walk the stunning old colonial architecture trail through the town, and hopefully see monks collecting alms in the morning.
We will then return to Siem Reap for a farewell dinner and departure the following day.
You’ll have time to explore and relax, and will enjoy a holiday experience abundant in culture, connection and experience.
The April trip is from Thursday 4 April to Friday 12 April 2024.
I suggest arriving a day or two earlier if you can to adjust to the timezone and get over any travel tiredness!
Once you land in Cambodia almost everything is included:
We are staying at four star+ hotels in Siem Reap and Battambang that are really beautiful, have swimming pools and are in central locations. We will stay in private rooms, and breakfast will be provided each day. We have seven nights in Siem Reap and one night in Battambang. My sister and I both know tuk tuk drivers we will use and will share details for easily getting around should you wish to step out and explore in your free time.
Our trips are land only so you will need to book return flights Siem Reap. You can search for the best prices on Skyscanner or go direct to airlines.
While we’ve left the flight bookings to you, you must arrive in Siem Reap before the tour starts – just let me know your arrival time so I can arrange your transfer. You’ll depart from Siem Reap – an afternoon flight is best if possible, or you might wish to stay longer! Let me know and I can extend your room.
From Australia you can fly with Air Asia, Singapore Airlines, Scoot, Thai Airways and many others, and from other countries there should also be many options as you will fly through one of the major hubs like Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok or Singapore. I suggest looking on Skyscanner for the cheapest options and then checking on the airlines website. I’m happy to help with flights.
This is a women only trip for mums and tween/teen daughters.
I’m Evie, I’m a travel obsessed solo mum who loves helping other mums travel and explore the world with – and without – their kids. I spent many months traveling in Cambodia with my daughter, and my sister lived and worked In Phnom Penh for years. She has many contacts on the ground is sharing her inside knowledge to make our trip extra special.
I will be leading this trip and with you every step of the way on the ground.

Everyone who comes with us must have travel insurance. I recommend Cover-More insurance – I’ve used them since 1997 when I first went backpacking and they’ve always been amazing with help and quickly paying claims. You can use any insurance company you like – just make sure you read the PDS and make sure you’re well covered.
