The Angkor Nomads experience came into my life at exactly the right time. After losing my husband to cancer in November 2024, I was navigating deep grief and searching for clarity about who I was and what I was meant to do next. With nothing but a suitcase and an open heart, I booked a ticket to Cambodia in January 2025.

Just three days after booking my ticket, I came across a post by Camille Poiré looking for a volunteer social media manager for the Angkor Nomad event in Siem Reap. I applied, interviewed, and was soon part of a 10-day immersive journey that would completely shift my path.

This event wasn’t just a digital nomad gathering, it was a deeply human experience. The co-living aspect added a layer of connection that’s hard to put into words. Sharing everyday moments, meals, laughter, spontaneous conversations, late-night reflections, fostered real bonds that went far beyond surface-level networking.

Camille and Bauke were incredibly hands-on and present throughout the entire event. You could truly feel how much they cared about each person’s experience. There was never a dull moment, from curated workshops and inspiring talks to playful adventures and deep, meaningful conversations, the energy stayed high and the vibes stayed real.

Even now, months later, I’m still in touch with so many of the incredible people I met. The friendships and connections have lasted far beyond the event, and honestly—it’s made me a little addicted to Nomads gatherings! :) 

There’s something powerful about being in a space where personal growth, professional alignment, and human connection all come together so naturally.

Angkor Nomads gave me more than just clarity, it gave me a renewed sense of purpose, a supportive community, and a glimpse into the kind of life I want to keep creating.

If you’re seeking more than just a remote work trip, if you’re looking for alignment, adventure, and authentic connection—this is the kind of experience that will stay with you long after it ends. :)
