I've been mulling over what to post as a "Best Travel Experience Story" as we've had so many memorable trips, but this one day in Cambodia really stands out for me as it was one of the first times we took a bit of time to really give back (a little bit) to the community we were visiting, and it was so rewarding that my husband and I hope to do something similar on future journeys.
