Our resident videographer and photographer, Roman Giger, travels all over Southeast Asia to capture our most beautiful destinations. Luckily for us, the Swiss adventurer spends a fair amount of time in his current home, Siem Reap, Cambodia. We figured, what better way to highlight the natural beauty of its landscapes and the charm and history of its community, than with some of Roman’s very best pictures of the city and its nearby surroundings.
