RE: 30-minute Dinner: Butternut Fettuccine with Green Beans, Cherry Tomatoes, and Spinach
Hehe! You can always buy a julienne peeler. Small and easy to take wherever you go. I tried to limit my kitchen supplies too... but failed miserably hehe. Always welcome here! Hope to visit Bali soon too. Are you planning to stay there for a while?
You're right, I did buy one but there's something so much more... convenient about something that does it for me ;) I started out with nothing here but I have been slowly growing my kitchen (whoops) I have a pretty heavy list of things I am begging people to bring me from storage in the states so I am always hoping for that to arrive so I can up my game haha
If you do come definitely let me know! I should be here :/ Hard to say. I have some travel proposed coming up during rainy season here but otherwise I plan on being set up as home base here for a while! You're welcome anytime! 💜
Hehe! I know the feeling! Always come back from Europe with a full suitcase. We plan on staying in Cambodia for a few more years too. Our cat is too old to travel now. But visa is easy and it's great home base to travel from. Would love to meet up one day! And you are always welcome at our home too xxx
The visa is easy over there you say? Indonesia is getting to be a real pain. At first it was a trade off for loving it here so much but it's expensive to have to do the whole visa run thing all of the time. I want to stay here but I'm keeping my mind open to other possibilities as well. I really love Malaysia too and it's a bit easier to stay there longer. When we were in Vietnam we were supposed to pop into Cambodia but then we ended up deciding to cut the trip short! It's definitely on my bucket list- gotta see Ankor of course! I'll let you know if it ends up being before you make it down here. Either way I have a feeling our paths will cross :)
It is the easiest. No visa runs and about $300 for 1-year multiple entries visa and 160 for 6 months. When you run out you just give your passport and money to travel agency, and they'll go to Phom Penh and extend it for you! Have been here for 3 years and never had any issues or never did a visa run. Angkor is stunning. Currently, I'm still living in Siem Reap, about 3 km from Angkor but the town is getting too busy so we decided to move back to Kampot or Kep in 2-3 months. We lived there for 1.5 years and it's so beautiful and quiet down there... and the bonus of the ocean too. Def let me know if you are coming! Have a great day xxx
GET OUT OF HERE! Wow! That would be so much better... You know, I kept telling myself it was worth it to stay here and put up with the visa stuff because of the many positives but Cambodia's visa situation sounds so much better... plus it's a big more central. Right now we're just isolated.
How is burning there? They burn trash here a lot and it's a big problem for me. Black air seems into my house all of the time from burning rubber. It's one of my only major complaints! You've got me thinking. The last time I had to leave, I was considering relocating just due to the inconvenience of it all (plus, I have to get all of my food products besides produce outside of the country which is another thing all together) ;)
Send me alllll of the info Amy! :)

If you live far from the city or town were there is no trash collection burning is what they still do. You just have to find teh right locations. Most fruits and veggies on the market are local and grown with no chemicals. There are some great initivatives going on to make people aware of their plastic use and organic frams are popping up everywhere. Some stores now also sell quinoa and other things you would find in the food health store. And moringa grows everywhere here! Cambodia is not the most beautiful country of SE-Asia, but it is a good hub to make your homebase and travel from there.

We looked into moving to other countries in SE-Asia last year and then decided to stay here for the ease of living and visas. People are also the friendliest people I have ever met. You should come and take a look xxx
