Hello lovelies,today I want to share some of the most instagrammable places in Cambodia (that is not Angkor Wat), for the everyday person like me who does not have big professional cameras, drones and other fancy equipment haha. Checkout my Instagram  maggie_hon  I am very active on there. 1. Swimming pools In Phnom Penh, many hotels will allow you to use their pools if you spend a certain amount of money on food and beverage. Some of the nicer hotels will have a charge to use the pool. Here are some of my favorite pools. Plantation DM me on IG for the name of this location. This one too The Kabiki 2. The beach Cambodia has some amazing beaches and islands. Some of my fave pics are: Otres beach 3. Islands My favorite island is Koh rong Samloem island. You get there by taking a bus from Phnom Penh to Sihanoukville and then a speedboat to Koh Rong Samloem. The views are ridiculously beautiful. Almost unreal. Koh Rong Samloem Island 4.

Where to stay in Kampot: The best Hostel/Dorm Room in Kampot, Cambodia

Happy February lovelies! Its @ maggie_hon  here and today I'd like to talk about a short visit to one of Cambodia's favorite weekend getaway location- Kampot. Kampot is a slow sleepy riverside town about 3 hours outside of Phnom Penh. Its really good for lazing the days away by the river, or doing water sports such as paddle boarding, or exploring caves etc.There are usually parties as well at night so, something for everyone. On my last trip to Kampot, my five friends and I stayed at a hostel called Karma Traders Kampot. And we were not disappointed! At Karma Traders, there is a choice of 4 bed mixed dorm room, 8 bed mixed dorm room.The dorm rooms are $7 USD per bed, and this price was a steal!! The rooms were clean and spacious. The beds and mattresses were sturdy and the bank beds had a curtain, incase one wanted some privacy. The dorms were ensuite and bathrooms were super clean with hot water and toilet paper provided. If this wasn't enough, there was a bar on th

How to get back to Blogging after a long break.

-
Hey lovelies! Oh my word, where do I begin? There is no words to explain why I abandoned this little blog. No matter how bad and silly my writting and content is, I do know that some of the info I put out is important to one or two people. How do I know this you wonder? Well my email address is full of  mail from people asking questions or just saying something. oh and by the way I hadnt checked that email (krazykenyan@yahoo.com) in yearrrssss and my heart broke when I saw the emails piled up, of people who's questions were somewhat urgent to their situations. I am really sorry about that. I still live in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. This has become like my home now, all I need is a husband and ill be set..hahah. I go back home to Kenya for two or three months every year. Usually over summer break ie June and July and for christmas in December. Although the last few Christmases I opted to go travelling somewhere instead of going home (except Dec 2018 where I spent Christmass here in PP)

My thoughts on #Blackout #Blackoutday

-
Image
Some of you have probably seen the hashtag #blackout or #blackoutday trending on your twitter, facebook, tumblr and instagram newsfeeds. I thought I'd write a really short blog post about this. Anyway the hashtag was started by T'von, the guy behind  this  tumblr page. And it is a very simple concept, he invited all black people to take a photo of themselves and hashtag it #blackout or #blackoutday (there's a few other variations). He got inspired to start this because he realized that he does not see lots of black people on a regular basis on his tumblr dashboard (or represented in the media in general). He was, like majority of black people, just tired of seeing the European beauty of standards prevailing and being shoved down our throats left right and center (for centuries now) I am not saying that European/white people are not beautiful, of course they are. What I am saying is that black people are beautiful too, but the European standards of beauty (ESB) excludes

Goodmorning Phnom Penh- IMPREINT

Hello lovelies, I had the opportunity to participate in an amazing project called PORTRAITS. The artist behind this project (IMPREINT) painted 1000 balloons a few years ago and while he was doing this, he realised that all the balloons were different, imperfect but all beautiful and just like those balloons, all human beings are different, we are all imperfect, but we are ALL BEAUTIFUL. That's when he decided to do portraits, and invite people from all over the world to get together and participate in it. Thereby making a simple everyday object like a balloon unify us all. Check out his  website  and  facebook page . I am so happy my little blog was featured on his facebook page. Of course together with other amazing blogs. I absolutely love this project because the concept that we all beautiful regardless of how different we look, regardless of how imperfect we are, really resonates with me. For me the bottom line is we are all human, we are all e
