The heat and humidity of Cambodia make pastry making a challenge. But during our Workaway gig at Otres Beach it was one we finally mastered.

Who knew that I’d be learning how to make classic NY bagels in our outdoor Workaway kitchen in Cambodia! Now this is a skill worth having.

Part of our Workaway gig was manning a food stall at the Otres Beach Market, which gave us the best view of the live music stage.

The Pomme hostel, bar and restaurant has to be one of the coolest places to hang out for people watching, drinking and playing board games.

Before our cookery classes, we were taken for a guided tour around Battambang’s Central market to learn about the ingredients we’d be using to make our lunch

If you’re planning a visit to Battambang, Bric-a-Brac would be my number one recommendation for overnight accommodation. Not just for the location, setting, and design aesthetic, but for the charming hosts who exemplify the “customer service is king philosophy.
