Siem Reap Travel Tip 4 - Embrace the local traditions of Cambodia while in town.
🌞In the morning, witness young monks provide alms-giving, where local businesses provide offerings in return for blessings for their shop.
🌜In the evening, watch a traditional Cambodian Dance Show- my favorite was at Apsara Terrace at the renowned Raffles Grand Hotel d'Angkor

Siem Reap Travel Tip 3 - Ok, ok, you're here for the temples! Hire a guide to visit the Temples of Angkor because trust me, you'll have a lot of questions.
Angkor Thom and Ta Prohm were my favorites, & may look familiar from their starring roles in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. (Ta Prohm was also in IndianaJones and the TempleOfDoom!)

Siem Reap Travel Tip 2 - Any city with a road named Pub Street knows a thing or two about libations! Party your way down the avenue, or if you're looking for a different scene, check out two of my faves- Picasso Bar for the chicest (and smallest) 'hole in the wall', and Miss Wong to transport you to a retro-Shanghai speakeasy.

Goa Travel Tip 4 - You came to the birthplace of trance music, so you might as well experience it at the ultimate trance club, Shiva Valley. But when this scene gets old (and trust me, it will) relocate to the beach bars on Baga Beach to just chill. ☀️🌴🍻
