Diving at Lonely Beach Koh Rong Sanloem Cambodia: A Big Thank You to Tom!
A huge shoutout to Tom for gifting me this unforgettable dive at Lonely Beach and for looking after me so well! 🐠💙
It had been a while since my last dive, and I was feeling a little rusty, but Tom’s patience and expertise made all the difference. From walking me through every step to ensuring I felt completely comfortable, he turned this dive into an incredible experience.
Lonely Beach on Koh Rong was stunning, even with the recent typhoon affecting visibility. The underwater world here is truly magical, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dive buddy!
Thank you, Tom, for making this adventure so special. 💕

![Still Backpacking or Did I Settle Down?
I didn’t plan to stay in Cambodia… I came for a month.
That was it. No long-term plans, no intention of stopping, no idea I’d end up building a life here.
But something about Cambodia completely caught me off guard.
In this video, I’m sitting down for a proper, honest chat about how my travels have changed, why I chose to base myself in Siem Reap, and what that actually means for my life now.
Am I still travelling?
Or have I settled down?
The truth is… it’s somewhere in between.
I talk about:
What I expected vs what I actually found in Cambodia
How Cambodia became my home base
Why having a base has changed the way I travel
The reality of slowing down after years on the move
And why I still have that pull to explore
Getting to grips with the local money and how it all works
This isn’t a polished travel vlog, just a real catch-up about where I’m at right now.
🌏 Join me in India this November!
I’ll be heading back to India and hosting a small group trip. If you’d love to experience it with me, you can find all the details here:
