Adventures in Kampot

I started as just a volunteer in 2015 helping build the school with an awesome group of people. Many of whom I regard as good friends and talk to often. The camaraderie at camp was unmatched and unlike any other volunteer program I've done. It was an amazing experience and I decided to continue on as an intern until 2016. I learned a lot about earthship building techniques and farming in Cambodia. Along with learning Khmer and cooking local delicacies. I miss Kampot pepper pork! Living at The Red Road was a blessing and I loved the simple life that it provided. Helping teach students English was rewarding and playing volleyball with them was even more so. We often went to the river to cool off after a long days work and visit a local sugar cane vendor. The Red Road even lived up to its name. The road leading to the school is made up of vibrant red soil. I cherished the motorcycle rides from Kampot to the school and miss stopping in the various villages for supplies. The people were welcoming and forgiving when it came to the language barrier. I might have learned some Khmer but my pronunciation wasn't great. The weekends I spent in Kampot city were also amazing. Lots of great places to eat and guesthouses to stay at. I recommend you do a sunset cruise on the river.
