About the Blog

Welcome, dear internet readers, to Strolling Cambodia, a travel blog for curious adventurers seeking to explore a land of lush forests, paradisiac beaches, mysterious temples, and an eclectic, ever-evolving art scene.

My name is Niyalic. I’m a 26-year-old Khmer artist and filmmaker wandering through Cambodia’s vibrant landscapes: from the buzzing streets of Phnom Penh to the laid-back charm of Battambang, the timeless grandeur of Siem Reap, and the sun-drenched shores of Koh Rong.

This blog is not about ticking landmarks off a list. It’s for new and experienced travellers alike who want to discover where locals actually gather, where conversations linger over iced coffee, where music spills into the streets at night, and where the rhythm of daily life quietly unfolds beyond the guidebooks.

Whether you’re chasing inspiration, connection, or simply a different way of seeing, consider this your invitation to slow down, look closer, and step into the scene.
