For a country who lost a quarter of its educated population in only four short years to the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia has a peaceful kindness that is probably attributed to 90% of its population practicing Buddhism and the rich history that hides in the bas-relief carvings on the temple walls of Angkor.

"What a humbling experience to be in the presence of one of the last survivors from the Khmer Rouge regime in the very prison he was kept. And to be blessed by monks before we journied to the famous "Tombraider" Temple. It is a rare thing to be able to dream up an itinerary so big, see it come to fruition and share it with the some of the most successful people in the world. Oh, did I mention the elephant rides?" - Previous BAC Travel Coordinator Nilla Spark
