Siem Reap, Cambodia: the land of Temples and 50c beers, what is there not to love? 

Tourists flock in their millions each year to see historic Angkor Wat, but there are so many others things to do in Siem Reap.

Don’t be a temple hopping tourist without exploring more of this historic City. There are many places to eat and drink, museums to visit, Siem Reap is brimming with culture and local crafts and has a lot more to offer than just beautiful temples.

Siem Reap plays an important part in the history of Cambodia. A story dating back thousands of years, a turbulent past where peace only returned 13 years ago. I personally feel visitors to Cambodia need to hear the plight of its people, in order to truly understand the Country.

Let Feet Do Travel show you the many things to do in Siem Reap. This is your ultimate travel guide to Siem Reap. (Don't worry, temples are also included!)

Before you embark on any type travel, you need to pack, which is sometimes daunting. Deciding what to pack can leave you with a headache, and you ask yourself "which essential items do I need", and "what should I not pack?" 

We have been travelling full time in Asia for over two years, and have perfected the ultimate packing list. Whilst we may not have perfected how to travel light, we certainly know which items we cannot do without.

We have been using this essential international travel packing list for many years, and it’s worked for us so far!

We have stayed in All Inclusive resorts, been on luxury tours, gone camping and now we are backpacking, plus we have stayed in every type of B&B and hotel in between. In other words, we know what we are talking about. Regardless of your age, how you are travelling and where you are going, we know the essential items to pack for worldwide travel.

We cover everyday essentials such as toiletries and electronics, how to travel plastic free,  which medication you should take, anti-theft protection, plus even what bag to take.

This is Feet Do Travel’s ultimate packing list; all tried and tested! What we carry and why.

How would you describe Street Art? Is it graffiti on a train, spray painting on the side of a building, maybe a wall mural.

What is YOUR definition of Street Art?

I believe street art to be any form of expression in a public place, but it’s only living in Moalboal, Cebu, Philippines that made me question my view of street art. 

Outside of Manilla, Street Art per se doesn’t appear to exist in the Philippines. Manilla has the Filipino Street Art Project, a paradise for art lovers, and renowned Filipino street artists have filled the City with colour.

As a mural art lover and no street art in Moalboal, how was I to get my “fix”? When asking myself this question, a colourfully painted Jeepney drove past me, and suddenly I found my street art!

Jeepneys are a cheap form of public transport in the Philippines, and no two are the same – what an original way for me to search for street art in Moalboal and Cebu!

Feet Do Travel show you off the wall street art in Cebu, unique expressions of art in the Philippines.

Montpeller Falls, Alegria and Mainit Natural Hot Springs, Malabuyoc are two off the beaten track activities, where you will find no other tourists. Located in a quiet place south of Moalboal, visiting these two natural wonders is a true jungle experience

Cebu, Philippines may be famous for the sardine run in Moalboal and canyoneering at Kawasan, but it also has many beautiful places to visit.
​
Feet Do Travel will show you how to get to Montpeller Falls and how to get to Mainit Hot Springs. An easy day trip from Moalboal, are you ready to discover two secrets of Cebu?

The Sardine Run in Moalboal, Cebu, Philippines is better than South Africa. Whoa! Now that is a bold statement to make – what can possibly be better than seeing billions of sardines?

The (almost) guaranteed sighting of millions of sardines every single day of the year is the answer.

The Sardine Run in Moalboal is a year round natural phenomenon. It’s completely ethical - they are not fed by humans and are marine protected. As filter feeders, they stay close to the surface which means you can snorkel the sardines by walking out from the shore at Panagsama Beach.

Nothing can prepare you that first glimpse; a giant sardine ball so thick it blocks out the sun. If you are a scuba diver because you love seeing fish, Moalboal is the place to add to your bucket list.
​
But does it live up to the hype? Will it meet expectations? Feet Do Travel show you their experience of swimming with millions of sardines in the Philippines, at the Sardine Run Moalboal, Cebu.

Ahhh The GIli Islands. Once an off-the-beaten-track backpacker hang out, they have grown to be a popular tourist destination for anyone seeking time out, or a place to truly relax. The secret of the Gili Islands is out.

There is something very special about the Gili’s. For me, Gili Air is the perfect island, a place we called home for 15 months. I won’t lie, my heart is still there.

The Gilis are one of the few world-wide islands without cars. That’s right – no motorised transport allowed, isn’t that blissful?

Spending so much time here made us realise, there is so much more to Gili Air island. If you don’t just want to laze around in a beach hammock sipping from a fresh coconut (although surely that is the definition of paradise?), there is plenty more to see and do.

There is no better time to visit Gili Air than right now, and this insider travel guide will help you choose what to do

If topping up your tan doesn’t suit you, Feet Do Travel show you 25 of the best things to do in Gili Air.

​One of the best things about visiting any location is learning about the culture and the local people’s way of life. It is fascinating to discover what makes each and every country unique. Thailand is a place that is well known for having lots of character, intriguing culture and a vibrant ambience. This blog post will provide you with all of the information you need to know regarding Thai customs and etiquette. So, keep on reading to find out more.

Angkor Wat is the epitome of Khmer architecture. It’s a rite of passage for travellers in Cambodia to visit Siem Reap’s iconic temples which attracted 2.6 million visitors in 2018. What I didn’t realise is that Angkor Wat isn’t just one Temple, but a huge Temple complex housing many stunning, ancient buildings. 
​
Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1992, Angkor Wat is considered to be one of the seven wonders of the world, and is the most important religious complex in South East Asia.  Within the Angkor Archaeological Park, there are around 72 Hindu and Buddhist Temples dating between 9th and 15th Century.

So how do you choose which temples to visit? Should you buy a one-day pass or three-day pass, and how much do they cost? What are the best temples to visit in one day? Which is the best temple for sunset? Is sunrise at Angkor Wat worth it? Where was Lara Croft Tomb Raider filmed? 

Feet Do Travel help answer these questions. This is our ultimate guide to Cambodia’s Iconic Temples; Angkor Wat and the best temples to visit in Siem Reap.

Where is the best diving in the Philippines? Those who have visited Southern Leyte dive sites around Sogod Bay say this is some of the best diving they have ever done. Described as an undiscovered divers’ paradise, there is something to suit all divers’ preferences; pristine coral reef wall dives at Napantao, muck diving and super macro at Maltibog Lembeh, shore dives at Max Climax, incredible night dive at Padre Burgos Jetty/Pier and everything in between. 
However, Southern Leyte’s biggest draw is November to May when you can swim with whale sharks. 

If you like your dive destinations off the beaten track, and to be the only boat at a dive site, Southern Leyte is the place for you. 
​
Still largely unheard of, a trip to Southern Leyte provides divers and underwater photographers with a special experience. The journey in itself is an adventure, but when you dive the marine protected waters, the rewards are worth it.
​
Feet Do Travel take you to one of the best word-of-mouth destinations we have discovered, and show you the fantastic diving at Sogod Bay, Southern Leyte; an undiscovered paradise.
