Travelling Cambodia -Angkor Wat?

Of course, this ancient Hindu-Buddhist temple complex is a “must-see” – it’s a world-famous UNESCO attraction outside Siem Reap in Cambodia. But more than that, it is just plain magnificent, gob-smacking, and humbling. When planning our trip, visiting Angkor Wat was optional. I wasn’t overly keen. The assumed reason is that if you’re traveling to…

The Mytravelroom Story

Welcome to ®Mytravelroom – designed to share with you and your fellow travellers.  I’m very excited to have your attention and interest and look forward to reading and seeing your stories, photos, and information about your own travel experiences and adventures on this website.

The genesis of ®Mytravelroom comes from a lifetime of loving travel.  It is, in my eyes, and apart from obvious reasons such as family, children, community – what life is all about. An adventure.

As a child of a family who moved every 2 years including time in the UK and SE Asia, the disruption excitement, and anticipation of the unknown became deeply embedded in my DNA.  So, travel is easy for me. The unfamiliar excites me.  As a consequence, over time reading about it, talking about it, and now writing about it, has become my passion.

As the old saying goes; “Do something you’re passionate about “.   So, after completing a 12-month Travel Journalism course through the New Zealand Writers College I needed to “hone” my newly minted skills and decide what it was I was going to do with them.
