📍Cambodia. Tonlé Sap Lake | The daily life and vastness of the floating village

This isn't an ocean, but it feels like a breathtaking sky.

Tonle Sap Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and one of Cambodia's most important water sources.
As the rainy and dry seasons alternate, the lake expands and contracts like breathing, nurturing a unique water culture and rhythm of life.

I took a small boat, weaving between stilt houses and floating villages on the lake.

Far from the hustle and bustle of the city, only the sound of water and birdsong mingled in the melody of nature.

Children here paddled boats as toys,
women sold vegetables at the floating market,
and
men cast nets by the boats to catch fish.

Life is closely intertwined with the lake, and every day is a scene.

You'll discover that you can live a complete life without many possessions.

The simpler, the closer to your heart.

Travel isn't just about seeing new worlds; it's about learning to understand life from a different perspective.
