From your first ideas to your personal journal: how Hélène and Sébastien plan, refine and support your Cambodia trip.
A trip sometimes begins with just one wish: seeing Angkor, travelling with your children or spending a few days by the sea. You do not need to arrive with a finished itinerary. We can start with that first idea or work around flights and hotels you have already booked.
We’re Hélène and Sébastien, based in Siem Reap. Through our planning service, we prepare your Cambodia journey and bring the programme, places and practical information together in your personal journal. Here is how we turn your ideas into days on the ground.
Planning informed by our life in Cambodia
Siem Reap is home. We explore the country, meet the people behind the places and keep the addresses we would recommend to our own friends. That local knowledge helps us choose stops, account for journeys and suggest experiences that fit your stay.
You also leave the research to us: comparing accommodation, connecting the stops and arranging the days. You pay us for planning your trip, without commissions on your bookings, as explained in our planning service.
The journal before you go. The web app along the way.

Your days on your phone
Your programme and places to find during the trip, with the option to message us on WhatsApp or Telegram.
We begin with your dates, group, budget and travel style. Do you enjoy early starts? Moving regularly or staying several nights in one hotel? Would you like to explore the temples in depth, or focus on food, nature or beach time?
These answers help us choose. A family keeping afternoons for the pool needs different days from a couple who want plenty of visits. A booked hotel, a late arrival or an experience you would hate to miss becomes a point around which to arrange the rest.
The travel questionnaire takes about five to ten minutes. Share what you know; helping with the undecided parts is also our job.
We send a quote, then prepare the route
We review your answers and send a free quote within 24 hours, as explained on our trip-planning service. After you approve and pay, we prepare the first version of your journal within seven days.
We choose the stops, allocate nights and arrange the days around the journeys. We research accommodation, restaurants and experiences that fit your trip, then add useful booking links.
We also look at what to leave out. If a stop means mostly spending time in transit, we can suggest staying longer elsewhere. The programme should make you look forward to leaving and give you time to enjoy being there.
An example: temples, the capital and southern Cambodia
Our travel brochure presents a ten-day outline through Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Kampot–Kep. It illustrates one possible combination, rather than a circuit for everyone.
For a personal trip, we would start with your flights and available nights, then adapt the outline:
Your interest or constraint
What we can change
Angkor is the main reason for coming
Keep more mornings for temples and spread the visits out
You travel with young children
Reduce hotel changes and plan shorter days
You mainly want to finish by the sea
Compare Kampot with an island stay rather than adding everything
Your flights use Phnom Penh
Arrange the order of stops and final night around departure
You prefer taking your time
Remove a base and extend the stays that most appeal
The example shows the choices available. Your journal then goes into detail: where to stay, how to reach the next stop, which places to choose and how to organise each day.
Your PDF journal and personal web app
Before departure, the journal gives you an overview and a day-by-day programme. It brings together proposed accommodation, restaurants, experiences, transport and practical advice. Download the PDF to read offline or print it; booking links need an internet connection.
During the trip, your personal web app keeps the programme and places on your phone. These are the two formats shown as part of our planning service, with content tailored to your itinerary.
The number of pages depends on the trip. You can browse our public preview to understand the format before asking us to prepare your journey.
We refine the programme together
Three feedback rounds are included before departure. Group your questions and changes for each one: a longer stay, accommodation that appeals less, a quieter day or an experience to add.
We work through them with you to refine the journal. Once you are happy, book directly with the providers using its links. Accommodation, activities and transport are paid separately from our planning fee.
Direct contacts for Angkor guides, taxis and private drivers are an optional addition. See the service details and fees on the travel page.
During your trip, we are a message away
Keep your programme on your phone and write to us on WhatsApp or Telegram during your stay. A question about an address, a change of plans or something to clarify: we are there to advise you.
This support is part of the service presented as part of our planning service, continuing the work on your journal once you are in Cambodia.
