TravelfishCambodia Correspondent
Feb. 2015 - Jun. 2016Being able to travel the length and breadth of Cambodia in order to describe its key and lesser-known attractions was a privilege I will always cherish. Travelfish is defined by its integrity. "We pay our own way" is not just a catchphrase, it's a philosophy that means more than simply "we don't accept comps", but also that everything covered has to be experienced and reported on with rigour and candour. No shortcuts, no easy nonsense. This approach still defines my ideal today.
