A Life of Adventure

Rom asked:

decided on taking this Cambodia adventure travel it is time to make yet another decision: do you mind travelling with other tourists or not? If you don’t mind, your best bet is to try a travel agency who will assist you with your booking of the flights and hotels.

 

The travel agency will also be helpful with choosing the best tourist locations that will be sure to reveal as much of the Cambodian culture as well as Cambodian country sightseeing.

If you are a real adventurous type and you don’t like being in the company of other tourists than you have the option of just getting yourself over there and find it out all yourself once you’re there. Cambodia is a fantastic beautiful country and the people are ever so nice. The country is filled with thousand and one things to see and to do. You can get a general idea of its beauty by going to any travel website and enter the keyword " Cambodia".

Most people will immediately think of Angkor Wat, when thinking of Cambodia, and rightfully so. The Khmer people who established the mighty civilizations on the bank of the Mekong River reached the pinnacle of their cultural and religious activity during the period of Angkor Wat in the second half of the twelfth century. The best period for a visit is December through to February. The humidity is at its lowest then and there is not much rain. Temperatures range in the 22 to 25 degrees centigrade. From February on the temperatures are on the rise and can go to 40 degrees in April! The rainy season starts in May and goes on till October. Mind you it will not rain all day long but in heavy bursts.

A day pass to Angkor costs 20 dollars, a three day pass 60 dollars. Since the complex is vast ( the complex is more than 154 square miles en counts dozens of temples) you are well advised to plan your trip carefully: the best times to visit the temples are sunrise and sunset. Even in the rain the temple complex is magnificent and enchanting.

Despite all this beauty we should not forget that the country knew decennia of war and terror by the Khmer Rouges of Pol Pot and only in the early eighties things stabilized. Whenever you have the chance to meet Cambodian people one always wonders what they did during the Khmer Rouge regime: were they victims or aggressors? In most cases the answer stays in the mist… maybe better that way.

Money For Traveling asked:

Ever had the desire to quit your lame 9 to 5 job, tell your boss to shove it, pack up and start traveling the world?

All of us have had that desire at one point! The thing that stopped you was probably the same thing that stops most people: money.

“How will I pay for my flights, food, lodging, transportation, yada, yada, yada,” you asked yourself.

Don’t let these concerns bother you too much, because there is an underground, growing group of travelers who are utilizing some simple but hidden techniques to make significant incomes while traveling.

Here’s an overview of how we make money traveling and by landing travel jobs:

Underground Travel Income Method #1 – Traditional Travel Job - Hold a job that either a) pays for us to travel or b) is located in the place we wish to travel to. This is the lowest paying and most complicated method of all, but is the most commonplace.

Common jobs that pay for travels are for professional speakers, salespeople, package couriers, flight attendants, travel nurses/doctors, conservationists, cruise ship workers, etc.

Travel jobs located in the places we wish to go to can be any of the above, but also are specific to the location we travel to. There are some FUN jobs overseas that are looking for foreign workers!

Underground Travel Income Method #2 – Travel Writing – Travel writing jobs for magazines are more common than you may imagine. However, there are LOADS of other ways to write as you travel and make money, including blogging, picking up projects from sites like Elance and Guru, and writing travel guides, both online and offline.

Underground Travel Income Method #3 – Selling Affiliate Products – Using a simple website, you can drive online traffic to a product that will be of interest to your online followers. Don’t be intimidated by this! It can be as easy as using your very own Facebook or Myspace profile. Affiliate products typically pay 50% to 75%, so you can make a very healthy income for selling just a few objects.

Underground Travel Income Method #4 – Filming Your Adventures – If you’ve got the camera out and you’re taking pictures, why not switch it to ‘film’ mode and make money from it? You simply make a video of your destinations using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, then use your videos to create a customer base!

Underground Travel Income Method #5 – Podcasting – If filming scares you off or intimidates you, you can make an iTunes podcast. It is easier than ever to get listed in iTunes and there’s a HUGE audience of podcast listeners. Simply talk about the places you visit two or three times a week and watch how your following grows… and how your bank account grows!

Underground Travel Income Method # 6 – Ebay – The common misconception about Ebay is that you have to sell a physical product to make money. Here’s the trick: You can set up a fulfillment house to ship your product (or hire your little sister or the neighborhood kid). All you have to do is create your Ebay post from an internet café and collect the money!

Take any one of these six ‘travel job’ methods, and there are hundreds of travelers all over the world making more money than they would at a regular ‘job…’ and they’re living it up at exotic, world-class destinations. Take your pick, and take action on the ideas here!

With the emergence of Cambodia as a tourist destination after decades of tyranny and occupation tour operators are promoting the adventure destinations of the country.

 

While the majority of people travel to Cambodia to visit the Angkor Temples in Siem Reap there are hideaway places off the beaten tourist track for the more adventurous traveller.  In Cambodia this encompasses travelling away from the Siem Reap – Phnom Penh – Sihanoukville route to explore the relatively sparsely populated areas of Cambodia.

 

What there area offer world not be classes as adrenaline – pumping for the true adventure junkie. They are adventurous travel activities which the whole family can enjoy.  These activities could include bicycling, hiking or trekking.

 

The visit to Angkor Wat can be extended to a cycling tour of the whole Angkor Archaeological Park this giving plenty of options of exploring away from the heavy tourist traffic favoured sites of Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom.  There is the opportunity to visit the other spectacular temples enclosed by the surrounding jungle.

 

Travelling up the Mekong River north from Phnom Penh takes the traveller into the sparsely populated areas of Cambodia which have not yet been fully developed in a commercial sense.  This is the true heart of Cambodia where although the people may be the poorest in the country through their friendliness they would rank the richest.  It is possible to cycle the tracks and roads following the river north from village to village.  A popular cycling route is the 30 kilometres trip from Kratie up to Kampi to visit the rare Irrawaddy dolphins.

 

To the northwest of the Mekong River are the provincial areas of Rattanakari and Mondulkiri, The Banlung area of Rattanakari has a growing reputation as the base for trekking around the crater lakes and the many waterfalls around the district.  The waterfalls can be viewed flowing all year round.  The area also has a National Park to the north and the Kumphat Wildlife Sanctuary to the South of Banlung.

 

Moving from the jungle areas of Rattanakiri to the more hilly areas of Mondulkiri offers a tougher adventure schedule to the visitor.  Choices include three day elephant treks though the densely forested hills, visits to the ethnic tribes in hillside villages, and catching the spectacular views of the waterfalls.  The Bou Sraa Waterfall is the most famous in Cambodia.

 

Moving to the South of the country the coastline area is developing an aquatic adventure following.  Besides the very safe swimming beaches there are a number of authorised PADI dive centres based in Sihanoukville.  They can cater for any diving adventure from snorkelling trips to scuba diving for beginners to the most experienced divers.  There islands in the Gulf of Thailand with their coral reefs supporting many varieties of marine life will satisfy there adventure urge of all visitors.

Peter Davidson asked:


Ecotourism, responsible tourism and sustainable tourism have become the buzz words in the tourism industry, and with the effects of global warming and climate change influencing travelers worldwide towards a more a more sustainable way of traveling Ecotourism has become one of the fastest growing sectors of the tourism industry.

Everywhere you go you will hear the word eco. It has become very popular because people are starting to realize that a new way of living and traveling is necessary in today’s world. Not just in out day to day lives but also when we travel the eco way is the way to go and many travelers are starting to realize this and are going for ecotourism, looking out for eco tours. Eco travel is a new and exciting way of responsible travel that will enrich your travel experience and add your contribution to make the world a better place.

The general concept of ecotourism is to minimize the impact that tourism has on an area through cooperation and management and to encourage travelers to have a positive impact on their new surroundings. A commonly used definition of ecotourism says that Ecotourism is a way of travel that conserves the environment and improves the well being of local people.

The International Ecotourism Society defines ecotourism as, Responsible travel to natural areas which conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people. The general idea is about respecting the environment, the local people and the local communities whilst enjoying your holiday.

Here are some great tips for Ecotourism.

Leave the place as you : Leave the place where you are traveling as you found it or even better, make it a little better then you found it. Clean up after yourself and even try to clean up what other people left behind.

Eco Friendly Hotels : Eco friendly hotels tend to be smaller operations than their counterparts and are employing local staff and are getting their food from local suppliers. Try and find out if the hotel your staying at has water & energy saving policies and what they do with their waste and recyclable items. This way you are actively supporting the local environment and economy.

Local Tour Guides : The key word here is local. Working with smaller, locally based tour operators is best way to insure a more personal understanding of the place you’re visiting and a smaller impact on the environment. In many cases the best tour guides are local villagers, and it’s these individuals who tend to know the area best anyways.

Carbon Offsetting : Some ecotourism locales and travel packages will have programs in place for carbon offsetting on a local level. Some hotels and resorts will donate some of their income into these programs, while others may take a more hands on approach by simply planting more trees for every visitor that comes through their doors.

Conserve Energy and water : As and eco traveler try to conserve water and energy as much as possible. Just because these resources might be a lot cheaper then back home, these are still vital resources for the local communities.

All in all, ecotourism is a new way of traveling whereby the traveler minimizes the impact on the local environment and local people and on top of that tries to make a positive impact as well. Have a safe journey!
