I offer personalized entry-level support for new expats in Phnom Penh who are ready to settle in but don't want to waste time, money, or energy figuring it all out the hard way.

Think of me as your "boots on the ground" buddy to help you get started and set up a strong foundation with confidence.

FOR $100/HOUR, YOU'LL GET:

  • A trusted expat friend to walk you through the real Phnom Penh

  • Visa advice, what to come in on and how and who with to renew

  • Get set up with a SIM card (at local prices)

  • Learn how to use Grab for your tuktuks and move around like a local

  • Visit apartments with a trustworthy realtor I personally use

  • Navigating banking

  • Know where to buy essentials (clothes, meds, groceries, etc.)

  • Where to buy expat health insurance locally

  • Help with exploring neighborhoods and avoiding the usual tourist traps

  • Assistance with finding local foods, hidden gems, and coffee shops at every budget

  • Newbie tips so you don’t make rookie mistakes

  • Guidance, connection, and clarity—not overwhelm

  • One hour with me will save you DAYS of stress!

I'm like having a smart, funny best friend on speed dial.

You're not going to just learn about Phnom Penh, you're going to fall in love with it.

This is a digital service, not a physical product so nothing will be shipped to your door. If the system asks for your shipping address, feel free to enter it, but rest assured: I’m not mailing you a box of Phnom Penh sunshine (as tempting as that sounds).

Once you book, I’ll reach out to confirm your session time and meeting location. You’re booking my time, my brain, and my boots-on-the-ground know-how—so you can hit the ground running in Cambodia. Let’s do this!
