Da Nang daydreaming. 💭💫 . . . Something about staring off into an endless horizon is just so calming, isn’t it? Watching the ocean stretch out until it meets the sky, letting all of your worries flow out with it.

Some travel experiences are more special than others, and for us one of these experiences was to Cambodia's Tonlé Sap Lake and its many ethnic Vietnamese floating villages. The juxtaposition of surreal beauty and human strength + struggle is real here, and you can't help but fully appreciate both when you're observing alongside in your own floating vessel. Catch an aerial look at this incredible community through our drone video posted yesterday, and more to come in our IG stories! 🇰🇭👆🏻👆🏼 #travelinglamas #tonlesap #tonlesaplake #tonlesapfloatingvillage . . .

An aerial look at one of Cambodia's many ethnic Vietnamese floating villages on the Tonlé Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. A peaceful and majestic sight, yes, but we didn't realize that these communities are actually forced to live on the water due to denied citizenship and thus, lack of land rights stemming back to the forced deportations of ethnic Vietnamese during the Khmer Rouge era. Deportations which, among other losses, resulted in the loss of ability to prove Cambodian origins. When these families started returning to their home country of Cambodia in the 80s, they found themselves stateless as they cannot prove citizenship. No citizenship = no rights to own or live on land, however as it turns out there are no regulations in regards to living on water. Living a life in perpetual floating limbo, hundreds of thousands of ethnic Vietnamese currently live in these communities - subject to poor conditions, few opportunities and even arbitrary taxes, among numerous other challenges. . . There is an excellent piece written by Ben Mauk for The NY Times on the current state of Cambodia's ethnic Vietnamese, who explains it well: . . "Most ethnic Vietnamese in the country continue to feel that they are Cambodians of Vietnamese origin. They refuse to give up hope that someday their Cambodian identity will be accepted in the country they call home. Instead, with somewhere between 400,000 and one million members, and virtually no international calls for Cambodia to uphold its own nationality laws, they are arguably one of the largest and least-supported stateless populations in the world." . . . We almost skipped visiting Tonlé Sap lake due to time restrictions during our recent visit to Cambodia, but are so glad we didn't. The day trip we took with Community First: Kompong Khleang (www.kompongkhleang.org) is one of the best decisions we made and resulted in an incredible, eye-opening experience. 🙏🏻 #travelinglamas #tonlesap #tonlesaplake #tonlesapfloatingvillage . . . . . . . . . . . . . #tonlésap #tonlesapvillage #tonlésaplake #floatingvillagecambodia #floatingvillage #cambodiatourism #visitcambodia #explorecambodia #siemreapcambodia

Found my ride. 😎 . . . Living that tuk-tuk life at Angkor Wat. ✌🏻✌🏼 While Alberto didn't actually drive the tuk-tuk (next time babe 😘), Sanny - our real driver - was impressively skilled in scooting us all around the sprawling grounds of Angkor. Tuk-tuks are quick, efficient and affordable, not to mention covered which is critical with the hot Cambodian sun. Other methods of transport throughout Angkor Wat include bicycle, private car and of course - tour bus, but we feel taking a tuk-tuk is the way to go. Unless you really want air-conditioning (can't say we weren't tempted!) and then you'll want to go with a car. . . . Have you been to Angkor Wat, and how did you get around? 💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♂️ . . . . . . . . . . . . #travelinglamas #cambodiatuktuk #tuktuk #tuktuks #tuktuklife #tuktukdriver #angkorwat #angkorwattour #angkorwatcambodia #cambodiatemples #cambodiatourism #visitcambodia #explorecambodia #siemreapcambodia #cambodiatravel #travelcouple #travelcouples #marriedtravelcouple #travelcouplebloggers #travelcouplegoals #travelcouplelife #travelcoupleinspo #travelcoupleinspiration #travelcouplevibes #travelcoupledestinations #coupletravel #coupletravels #coupletravellers #coupletravelgoals
