I was lucky enough, in 2019, to get to see the majestic temples of Angkor first hand prior to volunteering on an archaeological dig in Battambang, Cambodia. The experience was truly once-in-a-lifetime, and in this episode of Malorie’s Weird World Adventures, I want to share it with you. From the temples to archaeology to the hero rats of Cambodia (I can’t wait for you to hear about the rats), let’s discuss all that this wonderful country has to offer.…]]>
