This is the blog of one girl, one country, three months.

I'm spending three months in Phnom Penh, Cambodia working as a communications intern and English, art, and dance teacher at a non-profit organization that offers extensive aftercare to victims of sex trafficking.

Feel free to follow my non-Cambodia blog here.
