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.

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.

The unfamiliar excites me.  As a consequence, over time reading about it, talking about it, and now writing about it, has become my passion.
